The row about Rowan Williams, the Arch Bishop of Canterbury still rumbles on. I can't believe what he said about the Sharia law. If we adopt some of Sharia law to accomodate the muslims, should we adopt some of Polish law for the Poles, Indian law for the Hindus and Sikhs, Somali law for the Somali's. The Scots who live in England abide by English law, not Scottish law. I think the Arch Bishop should stick to things concerning the Anglican faith, and keep his nose out of politics, thats why we have a Parliament. There are some things about Sharia Law that may be good, habitual thieves having a hand removed, beatings for criminals. It might stop some of the yobbery and crime we have.
Amy Winehouse had a successful Grammies. Its a shame, she is such a talent singer, but her lifestyle and those around her who profess to be her friends have let her down somewhat. At the end of the day it is all her fault, nobody made her use chemical substances, that was all her own choice. Well done to the US authorities who refused her a visa to enter the USA. We should be more stringent with who we let into our country.
The Heather Mills McCartney and Paul McCartney divorce sails on, with the media circus following its every move. There seems to be an element of greed creeping into the proceedings, with one party thinking they are worth more than they really are. I seem to think the money in that marraige had been earned prior to the wedding by one party, and most of the earnings since were royalties from previous work, so the marriage didn't improve the finances at all. Still one of our eminent judges will decide.
Today is a lovely crisp frost day again. Yesterday I managed to dig over some of my vegetable patch. Today I will do abit more.

News etc
Barack Obama took the state of Maine, so the race with Hilary Clinton has closed even further. The next few states will be interesting.
Manchester United and Manchester City played their local derby yesterday, and it was really nice to see both sets of fans respect the minutes silence for the dead of Munich in 1958. The result of the game didn't really matter, it was the respect shown that did. It did show that there are alot of decent football fans, and a bit of good helps make up for the bad `fans' there are. So well done both teams and supporters.
Well today is lovely. Its a cool crisp morning with low lying fog, and some sunshine. There is a bit of frost on the ground. I think today I will start and prepare my vegetable patch.
Tonight is the meeting of the Shelley Community Association. It is the local village meeting, where various views and opinions are aired, and helps to make life in our village run smoothly.
Our son Jordan has moved into his new accomodation with Yuriko, they now live in Hendon, London. I spent 15 weeks very near to his home when I started in the Police in 1976. That seems a long time ago.

Catch Up
Its been a while since I last wrote.
In the USA the Presidential fight is hotting up. Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton appear neck and neck, so the next week or two will be interesting. John Mccain seems to have it for the Republicans. It seems our media in the UK are giving more coverage to the USA elections than to our own elections when they come about.
The Bank of England has cut the UK base rate by .25%. That should help the markets slightly. Savers wont be happy though.
Sir Ronnie Flanagan, HMI of Constabulary has said there is too much paper work in the Police. Yes he is right, its only what people have been saying for years. When I joined the police in 1976 I would go out on patrol with just a pocket book, a pad of HO/RT/1s (traffic document producers), a pad of fixed penalty tickets, some accident books, and some summons books, all in my pocket. A simple file for drunk, or shoplifting, etc would be about 5 sheets of paper plus statements, and could be completed quite quickly. Now, or when I retired, there were forms for everything to carry, so I had to be issued with a bag to attach to my belt to take all these. Then back in the station what used to be a simple file takes hours, with about 20 forms, plus statements,plus trips to the CPS lawyer, fingerprints, photos, DNA, etc etc. I'm so glad I retired from it all, and so are most of my ex colleagues who have left. The Home Office really ought to get a grip of this paperwork, and they will find they have enough Police Officers to patrol the streets, and be able to get rid of alot of the PCSO's, thereby saving money. End of gripe.
England won at fottball on Wednesday night. A good result of Fabio Capello. There were some good displays by Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Jermaine Jenas, and others. It justified leaving out Beckham, Micheal Owen and some others. Beckham should not be picked, as Capello is building for the next tournament. If a player is not match fit, then he should not play, regardless of whether he is on 99 caps or 9. The team should be picked on merit, not sentimentality.

Lucky Pasengers etc
The jet at Heathrow had a lucky landing. A British Airways Boeing 777 had a lucky escape when its engines failed, on landing. The captain and his flight crew brought it down with hardly anyone being injured. A passenger who was interviewed said it was just like a bad landing. If you don't like flying, well thats enough to put you off for ever. If you don't have a God, then get one.
India appear to have the upper hand against Australia in the Test Match. Lets hope they wind, and just keep those Aussies down a peg or two. Looks RP Singh got amongst the wickets.
The weather in England is still atrocious, with alot of rain descending, and alot of the country worried about flooding again. The county ground at Worcester is under water again. They missed most of last cricket season there, lets hope they get to play this year.
Gordon Brown our leader has gone to China on a trade mission. Maybe he can persuade them to take some of our exports. we have enough of theirs.
Saw Jamie Oliver on TV last night. His programme was very interesting promoting freedom chickens as opposed to battery grown chickens. I must admit that it has given me food for thought, pardon the pun. He seems to be trying to do more than the Government to encourage healthy eating. Good on yer Jamie.

I Got it Wrong
Yes, Andy Murray failed in the 1st round of the Australian Open, so no winner. I made a big faux pas in predicting a possible winner.
At the Diana inquest, it appears her ex lawyer says the Queen told Diana she would abdicate in 1996 in favour of Prince Charles. I find that highly unlikely. It is a good job she didn't abdicate, as I think that would have harmed the monarchy irrepairably. The whole inquest seems to rest alot on hearsay evidence and speculation.
I see some areas of england are getting floods again, or gearing upto that event, especially places like Tewkesbury, and others hit previously. I really feel for those people. It must be heart breaking to endure it once, but several times.
The teachers have been given a 2.4% pay rise, and told what they will get for the next three years. It will be interesting to see what the Unions say and do.
finally the weather on my day off in Yorkshire is terrible. It has rained all morning, but seems to have cleared for now. I have had an exciting day so far, taken car for MOT, been to Supermarket, etc (yawn, yawn).

Scandals and things
The New Hampshire count has been contested. One of Hilary Clintons rivals has claimed hackers may have got into the electoral counting machine, and altered the figures, bearing in mind the exit polls giving Obama such a big lead. Good to see the USA has problems with its politicians just like the UK.
Talking of which Peter Hain has still got alot of explaining to do. Gordon Brown has full confidence in him, if that were football, it means he will be sacked within a month.
Sam Allardyce has left Newcastle United AFC. It seems the Magpies want instant success, but the job seems to be a bit of a poison chalice. Harry Redknap did the right thing staying at Portsmouth.
The Australian Tennis Open starts today I think. maybe wwe have our best chance of a victory with Andy Murray. He seems to have that little bit extra that Tiger (really) Tim Henman lacked. He's only young and has a few events under his hat, lets hope a top one will not elude him.
Closer to home Jill is back at work, and I am day off, but the weather is poor again. Our youngest lad Jordan has started a three week worjk placement with BBC Radio Manchester, he stayin with his older brother Chris in Manchester.

Newsy Bits and Things.
Hilary Clinton fought back, and took the New Hampshire caucus. She only just pipped Barack Obama though. Next month should be the big deciders, I think 22 states votes on the same day. A bit different to our elections in Britain.
Gerry and Kate McCann, Madelaine's parents are taking about making a docu film about her disappearence in Portugal. A big mistake, they will loose the publics sympathy completely if they do. It seems a strange course of action to consider.
Jeff Stewart, the actor who plays Reg Hollis in the Bill on TV is alleged to have slit his wrists after being told he is being written out of the show. A shame as I like old Reg, probably because he was different. In real life after seving so long, most Police Officers can't wait to leave the job. Isn't TV so unlike the real life.
Peter Hain, the govenment Minister has to try and explain how £100,000 of donations slipped the net in his bid to be Deputy Prime Minister. Probably say it was an admin error, from a man who helps to run the country. Its like Gordon Brown stating the other day he was not an accountant, if that is the case what qualified him to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and run the finances of this country. What a state this country is in. Now he has taken to playing celebrity, inviting David Beckham to no 10. What will he contribute to the running of the nation, Education Minister or something.

Catch Up
Well I haven't written for a week as my wife Jill has been poorly with sickness and upset stomach.
Our youngest son Jordan, and his girlfriend Yuriko went back to London on sunday. He is back again this sunday as he is going to have a 3 week attachment with BBC radio Manchester newsroom.
On Sat 4th went to see the stage show of Dads Army, at the Lowry Theatre, Salford Quays. This was a Xmas present from my eldest son Chris and his partner Mark. It was a really good evening, and the cast did four episodes. It was very true to the TV episodes.
Now I have a heavy cold, it doesn't rain, but it pours.

The New Year
Happy New Year everybody.
I spent New Years Eve at a prty in shelley Village Hall with my wife, mother in law , her partner and about 80 other villagers. A good time was had by all.
The news from kenya is still not good with over 300 dead, and the military and police on the streets in force.
In the US, I see the Iowa caucus went ahead. Barack Obama won the Iowa Democrat nomination with Hilary Clinton in third, and Mike Huckabee getting the Republican nomination. There is still along way to go, but I think the Democratic result was a bit of suprise to some.
Alot of Hospitals in the UK have closed wards due to a sickness bug going the rounds. Nearly 100 wards have been closed.
Britney Spears has been taken away on a stretcher after police were called to her home following a child custody arguement. How the mighty fall (or think they are mighty). its about time she got herself back on track.

Other Snippets
The Royal Bromfield and Harefield NHS trust has produced an 18 booklet for staff on how to dress. It seems some of the hospital administrators have too much time on their hands, or maybe they are overstaffed in that department.
Michelle Heaton former member of Liberty X has had to give up on her binge drink experiment as the ill health effects were too dangerous for her to continue. This should be given greater publicity. apparently she got skin problems, lethargy, stomach pains, liver damage, mood swings, all in three weeks. What sort of nation will we have in a few years. Its a good job the Government introduced 24 hour drinking to help the nations health.
Rail fares are going up by upto 15% in places. That will really encourage people to get out of cars and use the train. If the train companies want to make more money then put more coaches on the busy trains.
I see the New Years honours list is full of over paid self important people, especially the OBE's and above. I like Michael Parkinson, but lets face it he has been very well paid for what he does, yet he gets a Knighthood. My wife as an example as a Paramedic is working shifts, out in all weathers, dealing with badly injured people, drunks, drug addicts, gets abused on a regular basis, for a little pay, but people like her never get near the honours board. Something is wrong somewhere.
Finally this will be last blog post of 2007, so a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all

New Years Eve News
Football first, Spurs won 6-4 against Reading with Dimitar Berbatov scoring 4 goals. If you want to see goals a plenty head for White Hart Lane. It was terrible news at Motherwell, where their captian Phil O'Donnell collapsed and subsequently died. He was only 35, still a young man.
Benazir Bhutto has named her son, Bilawal Zardari, to be the next leader of her opposition party in Pakistan. Its a good job the same thing doesnt happen here. When Margaret Thatcher stepped down, we could have had her son Mark leading the country, God forbid.
In Kenya Mwai Kibaki was swron in as President again. His opponents allege the result was fraudulent and there has been trouble with the opposition Raila Odinga and his supporters. About fifty people have died. Its a good job politics in England isn't like that, we are too apathetic to care.

News and Views
The funeral took place in Pakistan, in Sindh province of Benazir Bhutto. Apparently banks were destroyed, and train stations, and about 20 people have died since the incident. It seems there could be alot of trouble ahead in Pakistan. Apparently Al Quaeda have claimed responsibility. Big men, arn't they taking on unarmed people.
Joey Barton the Newcastle footballer has been kept in custody over New Year for an assault in Liverpool. The lad is a fool. it would seem he can't cope with the responsibility of being a very well paid footballer, and all that goes with it. I cant see his career lasting too long if thats how he behaves.
Tow people have died after going down the Long Churn Pot, in the Yorkshire Dales. It would seem that the cave flooded and they were trapped. It does seem madness to go down when the weather has been so bad.
A little girl died down south when she was hit by a vehicle as she drove her quad bike, downa public road at six in the evening following her parents four wheel drive. As much as I feel sorry for the parents losing their child, they must shoulder alot of the responsibility for her death. As well as it being illegal what she did, it was downright stupid for them to allow it.
Looks like Australia will beat India in the cricket test. The West Indies look to be coming good and seem to have the upper edge against south Africa.
Back to work for me tomorrow, then out to my sons in Manchester for a meal.

Deaths and other news
The biggest news item is the murder of Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Why can't people leet the electorate decide, or are they scared of what the popular vote will do, and so take matters into their hands. I just hope Pakistan does not turn into a bloodbath as a result of this murder. She was a courageous lady, as I'm sure she must have known this was likely to happen at some time.
Also a Police Officer died on duty in Wembley, London. The officer from the Metropolitan Police was assisting with a domestic incident and died. It seems like a heart attack, but the post mortem will show the cause of death. My thoughts go to his family and colleagues.
The football had a lot of sendings off. 17 I think, 3 of them were from the Luton team. Matbe the Xmas spirit was still in their bodies. Good win for Spurs though 5-1. A few more like that and should start to move up the table. Bradford City and Lincoln played each other for the first time since the Bradford fire. On that day I was policing a football at Huddersfield, against Portsmouth I think, when a call went out for all our van drivers to go straight to Bradford. we soon knew why.
Worked today, just for four hours. It was very quiet. I just had one property to view at Bradley. Tomorrow I'm not working, and neither is Jill, whoopee!!

Xmas and all that
Xmas is done or as near as damn it. We had a busy Xmas day with 12 to feed. Jill worked until 3am, and then she got up, and we cooked the meal. A nice time was had by all except for the washing up afterwards. On Boxing day we went to her mothers for a buffet meal. Again she had to leave early for work.
I received some lovely presents including an I Pod nano, an Isle of Arran 10 yrs old single malt whiskey, some Glenmorangie, and tickets to see the Dads Army the stage show in Manchester at the Lowry Theatre, as well as other presents.
On Boxing day I was up at 5.30am to take my son Jordan to bradford, as he was reading the news on Pulse Radion at 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. He did the same today, so I was up early today.

Other Things
Alesha Dixon won the Strictly Come Dancing. Whilst not a ballroom fan, I really admire the hard work these people have put in. I see the judges are wanting more money for next time. £60,000 for 12 weeks is not enough, I wish. About time old Bruce Forsyth moved along. His jokes are a bit thin and worn, and he keeps using old his old cliches from his old shows.
England drew the Test match, lucky with the help from the weather. We were beaten all ends up in bowling, fielding, and especially batting. Good job we don't face the Aussies next. I hear Michael Vaughan has suggested performance bonus's. What a joke, if pride can't spur you on playing for England, then you should not be in the team. If you you make runs or take wickets your bonus is that you will be in the next test.
Tottenham lost again yesterday to Arsenal. A point was lost with Robbie Keane missing a penalty.
Worked yesterday, had several viewings of houses. My company for information is Ryder and Dutton. Today we are preparing for Xmas, getting the house ready for guest on Christmas day.
