It's regrettable.....

‘We shouldn’t be on the beach in Seaton Carew. He’s much more likely to be on a beach in Malaga.’

Yes, on March 22nd 2002 the sardonic Police Sergeant could see the exit strategy as clearly as the run down houses in the former fishing village, battered by the cruel north east wind, that John Darwin had left far behind.

Just not quite right with Malaga, as it would seem John has spent much of the last five years in Panama.

Now canoeing has become the new sport for New Labour.

Gordon received £183,052 from public funds to help party officials to understand new funding rules shortly before New Labour began accepting secret donations. Clearly Gordon should have put his prudence to one side and asked for £200,000.…to buy the ‘paddles’ as well.

So many New Labour canoeists have got into difficulty through Gordon’s lack of vision.

‘I didn’t mean to keep the donations secret’.

‘I didn’t know my actions were dodgy’.

‘It’s regrettable…..’

Now I like that defence…paddle off into the North Sea. Go missing for five years. Claim on the Life Insurance, because the Coroner says you are ‘dead‘. Write off your debts. Come back to life.

Yes. Regrettable that would be a good defence.

Sunday night football is not for me…..despite winning 4v0 at Salisbury .

The goals brilliant and the performance, one that was hallmarked ‘potential Champions’.

I was asked just before the game if I thought we would win. I replied, ‘We are top of the League. They are mid table…..what do you think.’ And that is exactly how we played……

Then the ‘pitch invasion’ by the ‘Blue Square Four’…..I guess the motivation for the breach of law quite obvious.

Low intellect mixed with live television and wrapped up in a free gift at half time.

I do hate televised football…..3pm Saturday is ok with me.
