We just got back from a lovely holiday in Cyprus. I’ve wanted to go their for a while and it did not disappoint – the Aphrodite Hills development outside Paphos has been designed and built to a high standard.
Only downside is the exchange rate from pounds to Euro’s, plus the monopoly prices from being on a stand alone development meant even basic things like a coffee in the golf club cost £4.50…and that’s a bit much.
No matter, I expect we’ll go back there again sometime.

SPL CHAMPIONS 2009 |
|
It is a great honour and privilege to be addressing you as SPL champions today and
 everyone associated with the Club is delighted to have secured our 52nd league title.
Once again, I would like to thank you for your tremendous support throughout the season, it means a great deal to me, the players, backroom staff and everyone at the Club. Winning the SPL title is a fantastic feeling. We hit form at just the right time in the season and the players deserve great credit for producing results when it really mattered.
We didn’t need to say too much to motivate the players – I’m a great believer that they do that themselves and so it proved and we’re delighted to have come out on top. The players have shown real character and when you consider everything we’ve achieved, it has been a great season. We’ve got to the League Cup final, won the championship and we’ve got the Scottish Cup final next week. The boys deserve a lot of credit for that. Automatic qualification for the UEFA Champions League is also a massive Thank you for your continued support – we receive great backing wherever we travel and it was a fantastic feeling to bring the SPL trophy back to Ibrox yesterday where 30,000 fans were waiting to see us. We look forward to seeing you at Ibrox in 2009/10 for an exciting new season.  Walter Smith

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….

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).

We were terrific against Dundee United yesterday and I don’t think our goals could have come at better times for us.
thing. It’s important, not only financially, but for the management, players, fans and everyone associated with the Club to be involved at this level.
