Just a line to thank Bearsy for the munificent gesture of providing a link to the new Out Doors blog.
It was pretty obvious that MyT did not want gardeners, no group on offer, no picture facility to speak of and not even the politesse of an answer! So we took ourselves off elsewhere! One is at a bit of a pass to know who exactly MyT does want these days!
But a big thank you to Bearsy for putting out for us!
Some of you may remember my good fortune at being lucky enough to win two tickets to FIFA 2010 courtesy of McDonald’s, I wrote about it here.
Here’s one of them, arrived by courier this morning, I actually won two tickets, row 12 seat 1 and 2.
It’s been a heck of a performance getting them, McDonald’s sent two events managers down here from Jhb two Sundays ago, I arrived with my documentation and out of over 150 winning applicants from the Eastern Cape my name had somehow or other fallen off the database. The chap in charge was brilliant gave me his details and assured me that although the free ticket event was over that he would look after me, what can I say, it took a few phone calls but as you can imagine I was ecstatic when my tickets finally arrived this morning.
Have a look at the ‘category’
Category 1, face value US$160, that’s a fortune down here (as I’m sure it is anywhere), can’t wait, we’re going to have a jol!
Others may remember my even earlier post (during January) where I applied for tickets for a number of different games, this match was one of them, don’t worry, don’t have a sleepless night I was able to sell my tickets would you believe to a Portuguese mate of mine who had missed the boat (at face value of course :))
I recall being criticized by our (ex)resident Orleans gardener about junk food and the pros and cons thereof, as my title says, who cares I’M LOVIN’ IT 😉
Older people shouldn’t eat health food, they need all the preservatives they can get.

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.
Class actions in the offing?
A cross examination of global warming science conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Law and Economics has concluded that virtually every claim advanced by global warming proponents fail to stand up to scrutiny.
…found that the climate establishment does not follow the scientific method. Instead, it “seems overall to comprise an effort to marshal evidence in favor of a predetermined policy preference.”
Jason Scott Johnston, Professor and Director of the Program on Law, Environment and Economy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School
on virtually every major issue in climate change science, the [reports of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] and other summarizing work by leading climate establishment scientists have adopted various rhetorical strategies that seem to systematically conceal or minimize what appear to be fundamental scientific uncertainties or even disagreements.
Now that US tort lawyers have been shown the way, watch for a deluge of class action suits against the AGW deceivers.

Ferret – I really hope you enjoyed your holidays. I have spent the intervening time trying to reconcile the image of something small pink and furry donning a hi-vis jacket and liney gloves every morning. Here’s my contribution, for what it’s worth. 1,000 words on the button.
Dear Auntie Araminta and Auntie Bilby
I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.
My comment about facebook on Araminta’s blog set me off on a bit of a reverie. (Slow day at work. Finished one project, bit of admin, trying to psyche up for the next substantive bit of work, failing at the moment.)
The second school I attended* was St Andrews C of E Primary School in Uxbridge. My father was in the Royal Air Force and the church and school was just across the road from the main gate of RAF Uxbridge. (The road there has since been rebuilt and the school is now behind a block of rather boring flats.) Because we were a service family, the list of schools I attended never fits in the spaces on forms where you have to ‘list schools attended – not that I fill those out these days. Apart from the odd stand-out detail, most of my recollections of school days are fairly hazy – I wasn’t really that interested, bright but lazy, that’s me, and the friends of my childhood and youth were drawn from the ranks of the other service brats marooned with me on various RAF bases in the wilds of different parts of England. Interested in any more?
