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.

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!!

Disaster In sri lanka and other things
Well the Test match has descended to farcical proportions. Sri Lanka somehow scorded 499 and their captain scored over 200. England in reply struggled to 81 all out. That was mainly due to a partnership between Ryan Sidebottom and Paul Collingwood. I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled all that way to see England capitulate like that.
In football Sol Campbell of Portsmouth, has been complaining about abuse from the fans. He has even suggested the Government intervene as it is against his human rights. What a load of poppycock. He earns alot of money for his job, and is high profile. How about the abuse the referees get from the players, and the foul language of the players. My wife Jill, the paramedic gets alot of abuse verbal and sometimes physical when she is trying to help people. Campbell ought to join the real world, and be thankful he does what he does. The players and the game ought to get its own house in order first.

The Weekend and Beyond
Friday was a quiet day for me, no work. Saturday I worked, but the estate agents was quiet. sunday I went to Sheffield with Jill to meet my youngest son and his Japanese girlfriend at the railway station. They are with us over Xmas and New Year. On Saturday our eldest son bought a new car, a little Peugeot. He lives in Manchester.
The Europeans met the Africans in a big summit in Portugal. As usual alot of hot air, but not much will be achieved, the same as in Bali. There was lot of talk, but until we see some action, who knows.
Good win for Spurs on Saturday at Portsmouth. A vital three points. Hopefully they can start climbing up the table. England start the third test in Galle, Sri Lanka tomorrow. We visited there a few years ago, and its a lovely place, but the ground is a new one. A win badly needed.
