I'm Back *

Not blogged much recently cos I just simply couldn't be arsed. Or, rather, not blogged much recently cos I am brain dead. Well, it's not as if nothing has happened in the world.

For a start, there was this avoidable disaster, which hopefully has made a lot of people realise that praying is not the answer and, more importantly, that they have had enough of Bush and his neo-cons mates in the White House.

There is also this madness, which sums up how we have so got the wrong priorities in our society. This reliance on the car is of course encouraged by arseholes like this one, so it was funny to see this.

Or I could have made comment on this generally welcome election result or ranted about this sickening story.

Or I may have gone lighthearted and thought, at last, here we have a good use for cats or felt sorry for the cops here.

Or I could have told you that when I saw the headline "McCartney to woo trade unionists" I thought it was talking about this bloke because the idea of this wee nyaff (as my mum would probably describe him) wooing anyone is surely a joke.

Or that I'll have to get down to the National Portrait Gallery to see this.

Or, on the sporting front, I could have told you that this was excellent, this in many ways was even better, this was tedious and this was the most hilarious thing that's happened this year, but it came a week after this, which was also laugh a minute, and followed a few days later by this funny episode. Or I could have just mentioned that this was the best of the lot.

Or that my dad has had this done, but that it hasn't gone at all well and he is on his back confined to his hospital bed and will be for some days to come. That is why I'm heading for the auld country at the weekend, during which I'm sure I'll also partake in a bevvy or two with this geezer.
