Hello dear pals.
Tonight I will be off to watch Hull Fc play The reinvented Harlequins RL. I hope the performance will be markedly better than the one last Friday away at Warrington. After a marvellous start we fell to bits. As a result I lost my temper and got very cold as well!
Hopefully this will not be repeated often!
The last few days here in Hull has been lovely and sunny, but with a freezing cold wind that bites even when you only go out as far as the dustbin at the bottom of the garden. (Which I do often,if I can stay in and do nothing I usually do, especially when its very cold or very hot.) The weather forcasts keep threatening snow, but it hasnt appeared yet.
Now I've only seen the new game show 'Deal or no deal' a couple of times, I understand its pretty popular. I think the top prize is about £500.000. I am at the mo listening to an American Station online, and their top prize for the same show is $3 million! Crazy isnt it? The thing is, with those sort of amounts involved, you could have someone seriously loosing the plot if they'd got the wrong box, I wonder if contestants are screened for stability?
Earlier today I was talking to a friend online who happens to work in the British consulate in Islamabad, Pakistan. At the moment, that intellectual great that is the President of the United States is visiting the area. He and his co-workers are confined to their houses while the visit is on. I would imagine so no buns, tomatoes or other missles are thrown his (the Preznits) way. He did say about the protection that was scuttling about, which actually included tanks, hellicopters, armoured vehicles and all sorts of hardware. My friend was quite pleased as he was promised a go driving one of the armoured vehicles that was parked in his front garden after the visit was over. What fun!!!
American politics has always fascinated me, ever since I was a young girl and watched President Nixon resign on TV. They do tend to throw up some marvellous crooks. I think were seeing some real 'contenders' over there now, the worrying thing is our 'great and good' in the UK seem to be following their every move!
Farewell till next time,
