Summary: There has been a lot of coverage about drunkeness on airlines....especially Ryanair....there are gangs of partygoers getting on the plane and causing all sorts of trouble including throwing up leaving the other passengers somewhat distressed.....they have suggested breathalising passengers before they get on the plane....what a load of nonsense.....it's about MONEY as always as greed triumphs over common sense....we are talking about an airborne vehicle which is dangerous enough without morons putting the staff and other passengers in danger.....simple answer ....ban the sale of alcohol at the airport and on the plane...what's the problem?...oh yes I forgot...profit is far more important. The standard of driving in this country has hit a new low.....the police seem to be losing their grip.....it's time to get some idiots off the road instead of giving the "points" on their licence.......anyone travelling at ridiculous speeds through 30 mph areas should have their licence taken away for at least 5 years and then have to take another test to get it back.....and put more speed cameras up which would certainly increase the funding we are constantly told the police are short of.....and when you join the police you now have a two years probation during which you must study and obtain a degree....or you are out....and to become an inspector you have to have a masters degree....I would have thought we require tough bobbies as opposed to professors?...or is policing now a "science"?....whoever comes up with these brilliant ideas needs to get real. There is a move afoot to teach young kids about LGBT which I find somewhat disturbing....primary school kids do not need to know about sexual preferences....just let them be kids and enjoy their childhood....they will find out soon enough about themselves.....we have recently had the gay pride marches through Liverpool....I'm not quite sure what they are trying to achieve.....different "fluid genders" want to be accepted for what they are.....they ARE accepted by the majority...what is their problem?...I couldn't care whether someone is LGBT or XYZ....if they are a nice person that's it......if you have an unpleasant disagreeable white heterosexual male you can call him anything....but if he's gay or mixed race out come the gay or race cards....then we have a gaggle of women taking on Piers Morgan on morning TV trying to convince the world there is nothing wrong with being obese.....the fact that it could seriously damage your health is totally overlooked except by Piers....go Piers. I watched the tennis from Wimbledon.....the mens final was as good as the game gets and felt sorry for Federer who should have won it....(he said from his armchair).......they played at full tilt for five hours as opposed to the ladies 55 minute final....which makes a joke about "equality"....do the ladies honestly believe they are worth the same money as the men?....I do enjoy the ladies game but there is little comparison to the mens game.....and Lewis Hamilton did the business in his racing car and of course we WON the cricket World Cup....so it was great weekend for sports fans.....I always remember Boris Becker being interviewed after losing a Wimbledon final....the interviewer asked him if he though a miss-hit backhand cost him the game....to which Boris replied "we had been out there for three hours.....you should try it sometime"....'nuff said. The song this week is about a little island off the north western coast of Wirral....it is called Hilbre Island and you can walk out to it at low tide which is a wonderful experience....and there is a seal colony a little further out....from the island you can look out at the coastlines of Wirral and Wales and it doesn't get any better than that....so here it is "My Hilbre Friend"
