The Price

What we really would like to know is who paid Angrier Robot over one-hundred grand during her period of penance out of the Cabinet as a failed tax dodger. What they expect to get for all that cash, and how much it will cost the rest of us.

Busy Saturday 2

The Argonauts took their opener to a TD in Regina. Close for the RoughRiders, TD in the 14th minute. A sack for the RR in Q2. Another TD for the Argos but the PAT missed, 13-7.
    The Argos kicked a FG with 3 minutes left. A try by the RR missed. Close in the last minute, TD for the Argos, the PAT blocked and taken all the way to their end zone, 2 for the RR! Then a FG at 0:00, 22-12.
    A FG for the Riders in Q3. Kelly flattened by the RR defence, Arbuckle on. A TA FG try missed. Close for the Riders, Nothing. A pick at the end of Q3 gave them the ball again. Close again in Q4, TD this time, but a missed PAT, 22-21. A sack in the RR end zone gave the Argos a safety. Close again for the RR, defensive offside on a 3rd down, Charge! 24-28. All defence to the end.

Wonderful return

Installing solar panels will save £100/year in electricity costs. Which means that the system will pay for itself in 80 to 140 years, depending on the type of system chosen.
    Think you can live that long?

Busy Saturday 1

The TigerCats visited Calgary on a beautiful day. The Stamps were held to an opening FG. The Cats replied with a 51-yard TD. The Stamps were sacked to a FG, 7-6.
    A Stampeder sack in Q2 held the Cats to a FG. A 45-yarder for the Stamps, 10-9. Their next FG try missed. One for the Cats scored, 13-8. A TD in the last minute of the half put the Stamps 13-16 up.
    A failed attempt to throw the ball away gave it to the Cats, on to a TD from the next play. Sack, punt. The Cats drove into Q4. Sack for the stamps, FG by the Cats, 20-19. And another. A 47-yarder for the Stamps, 23-22. Punt by the Cats. A 49-yard TD run by the Samps, no +2, 23-28. A sack by the Stamps then a Fail Mary picked. The end.

Ongoing problem

Newspaper correspondents will keep on recalling that our Prime Fantasist pledged that he would end rough sleeping when he was the cosmetic mayor of Manchester, but failed to do so. Which is not much of a confidence builder for his pledge to end it in the whole of England.

Pollution zone

Lake Windermere is among the health hazards created by water companies releasing sewage into rivers and other waterways.
    United Utilities is working hard to create a plan to divert waste water and highway run-off away from this iconic lake.

Not a lot on offer

Iceland has had another referendum to decide whether to join the EFU scam. This would involve losing the fishing industry on which the national economy depends, and open the country to a flood of illegal immigrant scroungers.
