So much for taking hot flushes, Scotland did the business,

Thank goodness, it turned out to be a good game after all. Well done lads, and as for me, I even watched the England  Ireland game, and today,  Edinburgh beat the Scarlett's in a tight match at a sunlit Murrayfield , what a lovely afternoon.   I had computer on for rugby, tv for Man U game and now even watching Man City and Liverpool.   Now considering all those folks spectating there, I still had to listen to some disgusting foul language from the twenty two players and handful of followers over in the park opposit the house - used to be (conduct likely to provoke a breath of the peace) when I wanted to shut someone up cursing in the street,

Which brings to mind the fact that our wonderful Scottish government, part of the nanny state, are going to introduce new legislation to make it an offence to park on a pavement - digging into the past, there was the "Roads and Bridges Scotland Act" which we used to use against lorry drivers, etc for parking on pavements and damaging slabs and verges.

Big item about the Amanda Duffy murder case , with Francis Auld being released after a not proven verdict.  I wonder how he would have done had he not had the legendary Donald Finlay defending him,  I wonder how many of mr Finlay's clients would have been found guilty if he had been on the prosecution bench instead of the defence, but there is more money to be made from getting criminals off.

I see that Fiona McBride, the forensic expert involved in the Shirley McKie case has gone to the Supreme Court to try and clear her name and get reinstated.  Shirley McKies fingerprint was found at the scene of a crime and she denied ever being there.  hEr father, a senior police officer at the time lead the charge to get her off the hook, and as usual, the defence kept bringing in expert witnesses until two stated that the fingerprint in dispute was not hers, American style professional witnesses.
In this instance I hope our law lords look at the evidence and believe Ms Mcbride.  There were all sorts of stories circulating way back during the original investigation, so time the truth came out.


Guess what,  Cheryl has a new toy boy,  who cares, hope she did not have a beneficial pro nuptial agreement with her recently divorced French husband..

Finally, I actually managed a very , very short walk in the fresh air and sunshine, going to need my walking poles for support.
