I was woken at 4am by "er
indoors TM" having some sort of fracas
with "Furry Face TM" . I'm not
sure what the problem was, and she claims she can't remember anything
going on, but whatever it was, it woke me, and I lay wide awake
afterwards until getting up to watch "Family Guy" at
5.30am.
After watching telly I
checked out the Internet. Regular readers of this drivel may recall
the fun I had with the frankly appalling on-line ordering service
offered by Argos a couple of weeks ago. Earlier in the week the
people at Argos asked me to write a review of my experience. It came
as no surprise this morning to find that my review had been rejected.
As I drove to work my
piss boiled as the Crown
Prosecution Service announced that despite the fact that the
Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons has been found not guilty of
the allegations made against him, they felt they were still right to
have made those allegations.
It strikes me that they
are actually saying that they beleive the jury was wrong and that
they feel the accused is guilty. Rather a worrying position to take;
it is up to the courts and the juries to determine guilt; not the
prosecutors.
There's been a lot of
high profile people taken to court recently; TV stars such as
Coronation Street's William Roach and Michael LeVeil; radio's Dave
Lee Travis, comedian Jimmy Tarbuck. All have had their good names
dragged through the mire by the Crown Prosecution Service, all have
found not to be guilty of the crimes with which they have been
charged. However thanks to the high profile of their cases the taint
of scandal will remain with them.
And there are plenty of
other celebrities who are still facing these allegations. I reserve
the right to shout "I told you so" when they too are
found not guilty.
It's amazing how standing
up to these allegations proves that they are wrong. I wonder what
would have happened if Jimmy Saville were still alive and had been
taken to court and been given the chance to defend himself against
the tales circulated about him
And still the Crown
Prosecution Service continues to point the finger.
Once at work I did my bit
despite one of the young ladies declaring that the laboratory
apparatus was grubby and then announcing that she was going to
"scrub her rack". It was as well that I was able to
take a moral stance.
Lunchtime saw sax
practice; I have now increased my repertoire to six tunes. Yesterday
I saw that the music to "Annies Song" was in my
book. Today I had a toot, and within half an hour I could perform a
passable rendition of the tune.
This evening I took
"Furry Face TM" on a walk right
through the park, round Singleton Lake and on to the Butt Field Road
Munzee. As we were in the area we popped in to see Lacey and her
entourage. A minor disaster was in progress as her hamster had
escaped and had set up camp behind the wall units in the kitchen.
It is all very
entertaining all the time it is someone else's hamster...
