Ashley: You Little Fat Twat

Lest there be any doubt about my feelings.

I had told anyone who'd listen when he first took over: He's made a packet in business, he'll know what to do. The scale of my error in saying that is breathtaking. Not only has he made a complete arse of owning a football club, he's now making an arse of selling one, for the second time.

Say you'd spent quarter of a million on a house. It turns out to have dry rot AND subsidence problems, and there's a recession, so now it's only worth £90,000. Would you cut your losses? Personally, I'd get a bank loan, deal with the problems, wait for the economy to pick up, and then sell the fucker at a tidy profit.

Newcastle United's situation is a lot like the Labour Party's, or even UK PLC. The wind turns and the people in charge are fucked. Stumped. Clueless. The culture of capitalism is that fuckwits, cowards and twats get to be in charge.

    He'll be lucky to get a tenner for the club the way he's running it right now. The intelligent thing to do is appoint Shearer, give him some cash, then flog at a higher price when we're (hopefully) back in the big league.
    The bloke's an arse.

LTPTP XXV: We Shall Overcome

Image
We shall indeed.  It's a lovely wee tune to learn.  I've almost memorized it this morning, the idea being, when I encounter a piano, I want something to sit down and play on the bugger.  I've a feeling that my keyboard's keys are lighter than a proper piano's, and there'll be a bit of effort transferring the skills I've gotten so far.  Probably, at some point this year, I'll be in workplace with a piano.  I'll print off some simple music and scales, and work at it, but it's likely to be in a public place so I want something to avoid making a twat of myself initially. It feels right that this should be the first tune I learn by heart.

Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard

Image
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard .  Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight).   I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there

VINEGAR!

That wine I started a while back has turned to vinegar. Well, that answered questions I was asking myself back then, viz., 'Do we get vinegar flies around here?' And, 'Are all these little flies vinegar flies?' The fuckers. I thought I was being a clever recycler, not buying proper air-locks and using the old plastic-and-lacky-band method. Ah well, another step up another learning curve. Anybody need three gallons of white wine vinegar and two gallons of the impossibly exotic strawberry wine vinegar? It's been a 'business day', dealing with officials and filling out forms. Don't get me started! Alex came over tonight. He gave me the Aphonic CD (he's been in touch with them and they sent him several copies). I thoroughly approve of this new trend of bands getting their work known over the internet, by-passing (initially at least) the poisonous attentions of the music industry. Come to think of it, some of the people in that business are rat
