Please leave

Larcher de Brito said if people don't like her grunting they can leave. No; she should leave, she is not bigger than the game. Maybe these days people buy into 'attitude' but you have to be mindful of traditions. Grunting is cheating and inelegant. A release at the end of a long rally is one thing but vying with ACDC playing on Fri is another. On the international Dragons Den a Russian gangster told one of the entrepreneurs to leave the room if he didn't like his idea.
We were filming last week and the locals were shall we say hostile to us for stepping on their territory. We had to appease them with the supporting actors' staple of sandwiches. They didn't do the work; why should we reward them for being menacing?

How about this? Pioneered at a weekend party; probiotics.. with booze in them. It could catch on.

Reclusive thoughts

Saw the Women; a remake of a 1939 film. It had trouty lipped Meg Ryan looking just like the Wrestler Micky Rourke; is that a touch unkind?..

Someone i know wrote online 'I push people away but hopefully someone will fight to push back'. My arse. Who's going to 'fight' to push back? Do you know how lost and conceited that sounds? Drongo.

Graeme Smith is pretty good but he doesn't half talk baloney. In post match interview he said the 128 SA posted was not a bad total. Yes it was; that is never a good total.. they got lucky. I still want to see who would emerge victorious in a fight between him and Kevin Pietersen.

Wickford, Essex..Borough Market..Tuscany that's what i've done in the last week; all good. Italy and Scotland have had a relationship since the War so you get Tennents 9% superpish for jakeys there. That along with the mountain air in Correglia knocks you out. You've heard of I Tunes well this is I Places; Indonesia, Italy, India, Inverness. The authentic, simple Italian food was heavenly. Local phone operator is called Tim. Regrettably you get on or two chavs on Easyjet.

The chap who was fired from the Apprentice last week said the best parting line 'It's been brilliant'; can use that when i say bye.

rant and rave

I was in Gatwick Airport today and i see Geri Halliwell. Her entourage get through the biometric iris reader fine; with myself the Asian..doesn't recognise as was the case in Stansted previously. I have to go manually and the officer smiles and says hello; buttering me up before asking where i'd come from..a question bypassing everyone else. What's the point of having a biometric passport then? My eyes are normal; not too close together..
Then i find out that the BNP won 2 seats. In that case why don't we bring back Jim Davidson? We're on a par with Austria; regressing. Having said that local Tooting boy Sadiq Khan is the new transport minister.

low profile

There was no way Eminem was in on the bum rap. Sacha Baron Cohen certainly takes some risks; he knew he would elicit a reaction..provocation.

It's been a testing few weeks; various obstacles. I've made some bad judgments with certain people/ situations; gone tits up you might say.
