Morning all Rather grey today after yesterday's sun. Off to Hants v Worcester shortly. Finished final edit of 'The Wide Embrace' yesterday so after getting a few comments it should be available soon. p.s. more reps on here at the moment than Corfu in August...
Cloudy but dry here - also had some fog earlier, but not bad enough to stop the newspaper plane getting here. jerzeypie has his theory test tomorrow evening - as long as he doesn't take after his older half-brother who had to sit it 4 times before he passed.
Blue skies and bright sunshine up here. But I am utterly confused by this - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...t-place-world-live--UK-trails-21st-place.html Where do these lists come from & what criteria are used to arrive at the ratings? UK is apparently the 21st most peaceful place to live in the world - Norway first, Oz second, Iceland third. Within the UK, Scotland is one of the least peaceful places to live - only ahead of Greater London apparently. My experience tells me differently. Coming from an Australian city roughly the size of Inverness, just smaller than Watford, rising crime levels are one of the factors that drove us away - 'across the board' crime - ie everything - were rising at an alarming rate and have continued to do so since we left, especially in the 'indigenous' youth category. Puzzling really - we apparently now live in a crime hotspot, but after eight years here, we still don't need a lock on our back door, and can walk perfectly safely down the street at any hour of the day.......
21st most peaceful place to live in the world, makes you laugh dont it If you live in the countryside somewhere then maybe its not so bad
Ha, ha - they will be having kittens at Sky and MOTD! They will have to stop trolling out the old "the Prem is the best league in the world" nugget anymore - well at least for a couple of weeks... Full stadiums, sensible pricing, standing if you want it, having a beer if you want it, passionate fans - football heaven in Germany
The FA need to seriously look at how to emulate that here, but unfortunately for the rest of us, as long as Man U are playing in front of 75000 attendances everything in the garden will be seen to be rosy....
