Slow Sabbath...


Been a slow day.  Made slower by having to drop everything and watch Newcastle United beating Sheffield United by 3 - 0 this afternoon.  Other things had to be put aside while I gaped at the Newcastle side in a vast empty stadium.  This did not spoil the game however, I enjoyed it and was pleased at the result.  Last night the BBC gave us Bournemouth v Crystal Palace just to indicate that Bournemouth are finished and will go down.  The only hope they have is that West Ham are also chronic and may fare even worse!  


This means I have wasted no time in seeking parades or protests to pretend I care about.  In Glasgow and Edinburgh (pronounced 'Edinburra') Rangers fans act out 'British Loyalism,' which in Glasgow means attacking peaceful asylum seekers meetings and of course the police.  'Unionists' are always violent, it i the English part of their imperialistic make up.  The Glasgow police (pronounced 'Polis') often appear somewhat right wing and 'loyalist also, at least those visiting Ibrox Park, Rangers home, often find.  This time however too many punches have been thrown, too many assaults have strained the officers and I think there will be many doors 'knocked on' at 6 am soon in various 'Loyal' districts.


I did notice the weather man claiming hot weather was in the offing.  It is summer I suppose, and this means the numpties will be racing to the beaches to collect virii from close packed sun lovers. I have watched them well behaved and well spaced out on Bournemouth's well cared for beaches but others may be less disciplined.  The NHS will be looking forward to the week...



Well he tried his best but failed to rouse much in Tulsa.  He managed to enable Nigel Farage, the attention seeking Hedge Fund chancer to visit him to swell the crowds.  Nigel was barred but allowed into the US as because of 'National Interest!'  Possibly he was interested in a 19,000 seater arena in which only 6200 bothered to come and listen to Trumps lies?  


In major news it appears the Heart of Midlothian have ended their time with Daniel Stendal and replaced him with ex-manager Robbie Neilson.  I wonder if Craig offered any advice here?  With court cases ongoing, league placing uncertain, this is a bright move that will please many and annoy others.  We await with interest further developments.

That cartoon tickled my fancy...just think, beaming up Boris!

Home as usual....the figures for those showing positive have increased over the last week...mostly down to unscrupulous pineapple and banana plantation owners bringing in illegal labout from Nicaragua. They do this every year...but this year Nicaragua is alive with the bug, the government refusing to recognise its existence.
No sooner was this recognised and controls put in place than 50 new cases arose from some damn fool's birthday party...involving some of the Nicaraguans from the plantations visiting relatives...and 11 more from some other idiot holding a baby shower - Meghan Markle gets everywhere...'
So travel restrictions were back in place and \i did not go shopping.
Still, only 12 deaths since the bug first struck and very few in hospital - only 4 in intensive care and no ventilators in use.

As I had not escaped from the house I was caught for making pita bread for tonight's supper....and the rain is so heavy that I can not hear the re run of Test cricket on the radio...

Fly, Costa doing better than Boris. Rain stops play over the radio, that's new.

As if Dundee United fans don't feel bad enough there's the possibility their club may replace Neilson with Craig Levein...

Mike, Tee Hee! Mind you he did well there before. I suspect Tommy Wright or someone younger will arrive.

That's definitely the most appropriate cartoon I've seen for a while!
