'The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.'
And so it proved to be at the staff bowling tournament last night. Poor old Richard, who could usually look forward to a comfortable last place accompanied by a barrage of commiserating pats on the back, suddenly found himself thrust into the lead as his first five goes elicited:
spare - spare - strike - strike - strike !!
Thus, for that wonderful Turkey (three strikes in a row) he has earned himself the new name of Bernard Matthews. Last place was reserved for... me. ![]()
If you want to try and work out America's intentions when it comes to bombing Iran, I think the best thing to do is monitor how strenuously they deny having any intention to bomb Iran. It was the same with Iraq, really. Repeated denial was followed by, surprise surprise, a bombing campaign. Also, they try to distract us by highlighting the 'diplomatic efforts'. With Iraq, it was the UN weapons inspectors. With Iran, I think there will be much talk of sanctions. So, can we look forward to regime change in Iran? Absolutely. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a ridiculously hard name for Bush to pronounce. He wants a president with a name that's much easier to say!

These may look like Cola bottles, but unbelievably they're feet! They belong to the young girl Amillia, who recently hit the news for being born after just 22 weeks, weighing 284 grams. She's a lot bigger now, and has been allowed home.
