Back to the Grindstone

Well then,

Fresh from a weekend with Sally, it's back to work and blogging. In my absence, North Korea have detonated a nuclear bomb, England sucked badly against Macedonia on Saturday, and there's something in the paper about the Royal Mail getting even worse than I thought possible. There's honestly a story about how in the early 1900s, there were 12 London deliveries a day and you could post a letter form work saying "I'll be home for tea" that would get there before you did. How the mighty have fallen. :)

Elsewhere, Sally's friend Leanne found this. Suffice to say, I can believe it. Still, there are mitigating excuses. Hull Local Education Authority is perhaps the worst in the county. Two years ago, there was a four page story in the local paper saying how wonderful it was that they were now fourth from bottom. Since then, they've slipped a bit...

Ho hum.

I've got that magazine and it's a brilliant read - Glasgow, Hull and Leeds all feature prominently in categories of Drunkest City, Most Dangerous City, Most Generous City, Most Sex Mad City, Best Value for Money, Stupidest, Laziest and so on.

Believe it or not the answer to all of the above is either Glasgow, Hull or Leeds!!

Oh yeah and you forgot to mention how well Scotland did on Saturday - that's just typical English reporting if you ask me!! ;)

Scotland were amazing... England were attrocious! There we go!

Gareth... remember it is OK to be the exception to the Glasgow norm! :P

PS I don't mean that you are not Good Value for Money!
