The last telly program I watched was that farce of F1 in America over the tyres and I haven't missed the goggle box in any form as I have learned far more from the net. Especially how inept the majority of unionist politicians are and so ignorant of so much yet are involved in our law making. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KheJE71GzpA" rel="nofollow">Big Bad Banks (E213)</a><br /><br />And an idea for Vince since in the distant past he accused the Tax Avoiders dismantle tax havens and charge 90% on the money held there, it should bring them out of the woodwork as the 50% domestic rate will still leave them some of their hidden wealth.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-10942003561374565952011-11-23T17:22:33.887+00:002011-11-23T17:22:33.887+00:00CH, I totally agree that some sport is obscenely m...CH, I totally agree that some sport is obscenely money orientated - football and rugby and my own beloved F1 are quite obscene these days.<br /><br />Why can't we just all get together and enjoy the Olympics as an island - it's a fabulous opportunity to bring people together and showcase Scotland too.<br /><br />Are you seriously not even a tiny bit excited by it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988201531739344840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-87258347189438606342011-11-23T17:14:19.527+00:002011-11-23T17:14:19.527+00:00Scotland's good causes suffer for the olympics...Scotland's good causes suffer for the olympics and thank goodness Historic Scotland has thrown this commercialisation of sport into the dustbin. Sport is not a sport anymore its a money making enterprise as can be seen in the attitude of the English rugby players.<br /><br />Hang those rings on Buckingham Palace which is more appropriate and Willie can go down and admire them to his hearts content.
