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.

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.
