Hello yes I am back sure youhave all missed me and my opinions, no thought not. Well I have gained a friend, was beginning to feel like Billy no-mates, not many comments either. Well it's been a hell of a week, live8 was a great musical event, thought Pink Floyd and The Who certainly rolled back the years. Well done to all those concerned with winning the Olympic bid, never thought we would get it thought no one would vote for us because everybody hated us, one in the eye for Chirac so doubly good then. Then there was yesterday in London, I certainly do not have the vocabulary to sum up my feelings, anything I say would appear to be trite, so all I will say is that my thoughts are with all those families affected, and the rest of us should once again be grateful for what we have and thank our lucky stars.
On a personal front, my two eldest children got good school reports, in fact daughters was glowing, the most pleasing point was the teacher writing how wonderfully polite and helpful she is (presume she got the right girl).
Makes me a proud parent manners is all I ask for.

Live8 Day
@ –
Well it's started Paul McCartney and U2 were pretty damn good, ONE by U2 was just fantastic and Bono proves again what a fantastic frontman he is. Coldplay were even more fantastic than I thought they would be FIX YOU will go down as one of the great songs ever. Elton John was just Elton John and whoever told him it was a good idea to invite Pete Docherty was utterley wrong. What's that sound oh yes it's Marc Bolan turning in his grave. Kate Moss you need more help than your f**ked up boyfriend. Dido is now on, she's game I'll give her that as her music (good as it is) is hardly suited to massive open air gigs. Will be back later.
Sign the pledge please.

Sports Day
@ –
Today was sports day for M & C the two eldest offspring. This is right up M street he is very sporty and won his main race the 60m sprint. He was in competition with his great mate L, who also plays in the local footy team with M, and it was very close, but the best thing of all was the two of them with arms around each others shoulders shaking hands after the race, great behaviour for nine year olds was very proud of both of them. C my daughter was not a happy bunny she is more of a princess type of girl (I would say she is a girly girl but would be accused of being sexist no doubt) so the tought of getting hot and sweaty fills her with dread and as she told me PE kits are not a good look Dad, should I worry when she says things like that at five years old. Anyway it was a good afternoon the sun shone and I think I have burnt the top of my head, which amuses my wife no end.
