Football managers please get copies of Andy Murray playing in the Davies Cupul

So Team GB , alias the Murray brothers (Andy and Jamie )' were responsible for the GB win over Japan this weekend. I would suggest that the majority of UK athletes, inclusive of football players, etc, are all given copies of the three matches which Andy Murray won over the past three days.  He is super fit, but also has such determination to win.    So now when I hear football managers complaining that their players are tired after a couple of ninety minute games, with tea breaks and all the assciated stoppages, that they be told to get on their bikes, get into the gym and give their lazy selves a good shaking.    I was wondering how the tennis teams would react if each member of the team was only allowed to take part in one match!!!

During the week a SNP counsellor  was saying that she had just had to cut the the local authority education budget by £18million, all in a day's work,  next day Nicola is saying that she will plough all this extra money into education,  then we hear that all the Scottish councils have wee pots of cash stached away in case of a rainy day ( not that we know about rainy days here).

Lady in England breeding beetles for sale as a meat supplement, certainly beats maggots in the mince pies !!  True story, many years ago one of the day shift at Haddington police station brought in some pies for lunch, most were popped in the oven to warm, but a couple were munched ASAP as the lads were hungry.  HOWEVER, there was the sound of popping from the oven and it was found that the cause was maggots exploding in the pies -  two violently ill officers hit the toilets.

Snow this afternoon, no wonder I was feeling a bit chilly when out for my brief stagger along the road, one step at a time.
