It's a lot of work being me!

Well Dear Readers, today is my last birthday! I do not want anymore, I refuse to acknowledge them...I will always be a fifty-something! Life is but a walking shadow and a poor player.

I've tried to work myself to death; I've tried to laze myself to death; I've tried to drink myself to death; I've tried to smoke myself to death - but, dammit, I have survived! So let's see what's up that damned highway!
But enough about me.

Sports talk

Euro2008 still continues to amaze me. Where is Ronaldo? perhaps he was on the bench with Mario Gomez from Germany! Well let's see what happens tonight with Turkey and Croatia. Maybe Germany gets to play Croatia again in semis.

Life style

Even though the oil and gas companies as well as all the service supply companies associated with energy report astronomical profits in the billions, we are all facing potential price increases of plus or minus 40%. And what is GB(Scots Div) of UK Ltd doing about it for us....nothing! he is busy counting all the VAT and excise duties he is collecting as the prices scream out of control.

Well he seemed a pretty effective back room boy as Chancellor, but out of the shadow and in front of us he seems woeful and incompetent. Why doesn't he join his mate Mandy and La Brasilia in Brussels and run Europe....oh that's right he was Tony's crony.

okay away now and leave me to drown my sorrows in a glass of water,(unfortunately my benefit has not been paid through an administration error somewhere between Acton and Glasgow)

Words for today: advection; imbroglio; pottage
