Praise the lord! the evil empire that owned Birmingham City FC has finally gone!
No matter that they have moved us from the old third division to the prem, no matter that they changed the old St Andies from a cattle shed to a new (unfinished)stadium and no matter that they bought us a nice few wins over the Villa, I am just pleased the poison porn pedallers have left the building!
I could not stand the moaning about the fans, the fact that they practically wanted us to worship them like little diddy gods for what they did (and made a nice little earner from it), that they whored our club out to the highest bidder (yellow card sponsored by Hollywood Signs) that they promised much and failed at the last turn (unfinished stadium) and that they lied so often! Promising this player or that player during the summer transfer window just to bump up season ticket sales only for them to vanish like dust.
Well, all I can now say is Welcome Carson Yeung! I prey that you will treat the Blues with honour and how you would treat a much loved if a little dysfunctional member of your own family.

Bloody work! What a bloody pain in the arse!
I have spent the last two year negotiating with the local council about taking on the lease of a piece of land in the area I work, which would mean it was safe from developers, we could pursue those who carryout criminal damage and we could continue to use the site for our environmental projects (and it would allow us to pursue much needed funding). Only to be told that the neighbourhood manager has recommended to the council that another organisation take it over instead!!!!!
Now I really believe this is political, this person has been trying to get the Environmental Trust for a few years now and whilst we had a local resident who was very active and very much respected he was held at bay. Unfortunately last year she died and he has been sticking little knives in since.
I don't know his motivation for this but I think it must be on the lines of wanting to bring environmental issues, monitoring, education and conservation in house to the Housing trust.
Weekend
Had a fab weekend, in the most parts, met up with a friend for a drink on Sunday, Blues won and went out on a "Run" with the midland scooter club on Sunday. It was enough to lift the spirits, well until bed time when the political situation once more reared its ugly head and stopped me from sleeping.
Madame Tussauds unveil Abbott And Costello Dummies!
Ah what ever happened to Jilted John? Probably married with 2.2 kids now and perhaps no longer a moron.
Speaking of morons what is Gordon Brown up to? Now I know he is not as bad as Silvio "drop your knickers" Berlusconi with his ineptitude but he is trying bless him.
First he refused to comment on the repatriation of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi then it was leaked (or rather trumpeted) that before hand he had more or less approved that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi should go free! Now I agreed with his release, I think it shows humanity but Gordon did his old trick of dilliying and dallying and strike me down he has done it again, this time over the victims of IRA bombings suing for compensation from the Libyan government. This time he really should have kept his trap shut. Firstly he says its inappropriate to comment on this then says he is offering support! The man is quite obviously in intense internal turmoil. I bet he must take a good two hours in the morning to make up his mind about what to wear to the office.
A few issues are thrown up by this, firstly that he shouldn't comment on anything if he is likely to change his mind and secondly, by giving his backing what further support is he going to give to the victims of the protestant terrorists? Or the discrimination that was fostered under successive governments since partition of Ireland? The discrimination of the Catholics really is one of the main driving forces behind the (at the time) success of the IRA. Is he going to support them in their claims for compensation?
I think not.
I just wish this man would go, let the labour party sort itself out and get someone to lead it that had an ounce of sense! Before its too late!
