We had a great time, two weeks in Scotland….and it only rained once.

Lot’s of folk meeting the wee man for the first time.

And two big birthdays, Les’s 40th and my Dad’s 70th.

I flagged to them that I did not want our flat shown on the view; they responded as per below…..and wiped out about 40 flats alongside mine. Not very subtle then….

Hello,

The Google Team

Here’s Archie Gemmill, versus Holland in 1978.

No doubt Holland are quaking in their boots in case there is a repeat next Saturday.

Wee Jamie’s getting ready for the match…

On Monday I flew up to Edinburgh from London City Airport – first time i’ve done that as I usually go via Heathrow or Luton which are closer to where I live.

The downside to City always used to be the cost – because it was geared up for ‘city’ types on expenses then the flights used to cost an arm and a leg – but now that Royal Bank and HBoS staff are grounded the rates seems to have come right down and it make City a nice place to travel from – like a day in a spa compared to Heathrow!!!!

I was on a panel at this event earlier, first time i’ve spoken about Mydex plans in public forum. Went well enough, the audience was mainly libertarian types and far more interested in the downsides and big brother threats than potential upsides. But the few questions fired my way were sensible and the audience seemed to be pondering the issue of personal information management (in between bashing the Assistant Information Commissioner about their weak approach to Phorm and technology in general).

Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to by more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.

Scroll down for the answer…..

Karl Marx, 1867

I can’t claim to know that much about his policies because I never get to read more than two pages of his latest book before nodding off to sleep – but I do get the sense the USA will be a more pleasant place to visit and interact with under his leadership…

We had a great day out yesterday for Wysie’s 50th birthday – his first trip to Old Trafford.
