Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

News Tit-bits

With the Popes funeral only minutes away, I will be interested in seeing what resolutions are made over the seating arrangements to avoid any political headaches. Traditional Vatican seating would have the leaders arranged by length of office, giving Robert Mugabe and Fidel Castro prime seats. This is sure to aggravate certain people, but there are many other considerations that will need to be taken in. I suspect they will eventually go with using the French Alphabet, relocating the US as Etas-Unis, while the likes of Syria, Iran and the Ukraine get to stay put.

Jonny Wilkinson has more red tape to overcome if he is to partake in the Lions tour. Apparently, due to his vast earning potential, and his continued injury problems he, or more specifically his knees, may be uninsurable. This does not bode well for his continuing career.

On a more humouress note, Tony Blair has fallen foul of Google's search algorithms. Enter liar and guess whos pick of the bunch.

And they say that Google results are manipulated. Just goes to prove once and for all that Google is the king of search engines

I heard that embarrassingly for the newly married Prince of Wales, that he was placed next to Mugabe and had to shake his hand.
He got off lightly though, apparently they used to have to kiss....
