Saturday 6.30am

Well since last talking on here the work as stayed fairly quite. One of my shop assistants has now finished her last full shift in my shop, she is going to supermarket as they are short staffed. I still have my a-team.

I also reduced the opening tired to 9-5 Friday-Monday and 10-5 Tue-Friday (after Steve agreed).

I went to go down for a quick pint in Cumnock Rugby Club last night and saw we only had 2 members of staff on, and it was busy. So I ended up working behind the bar for a few hours and getting a taxi home at midnight (as agreed with or rugby club president who was down then, I wasnt going to pay for it).

The night went quickly but we ran out a few things. It's been a while since I served behind the bar when it is busy. It got a little getting used to again.

On the computer front I have been on Absolute Radio a lot lately. I had a kudos level for rock god when I was there a number of months ago. I got down from level 10 to level 4, I think I am about 6/7 now and getting kudos is getting harder.

I have also been listening to Chris Moyles as normal and he did another karaoke with Rockaoke. Kirsty Crawford fronts that and a while ago I used to go to her gigs and after listening Friday morning, most of the performances they aired were as entertaining as me (you listening Snedwan). I hope this helps Kirsty's career anyway.

Its Cumnock Highland Games this weekend and I won't be there, but good luck to all.

CNNI and Al Megrahi

I am watching The Situation Room on CNN International (and us version as well) after Kenny MacAskill was interviewed and I feel as if the american guests are talking down to us. Us scottish are allowed to be compasionate. The reasoning Kenny Macaskill gave us is fine for me. If they chose to not agree that is their choice. "Two wrongs do not make a right". I agree with that. The guidance on early prisoner release was followed.

I have still to watch Backstory. I hope it was good. They did tweet me back this afternoon saying it would looking at different view.

me and stuff

Hello anybody reading this.

Well got to luck and yes the scottish schools are back from holiday so we only have English and some irish on park. It's not busy. I already have staff on holiday from my shop and I have booked 30th August and 10th October for rugby events as holidays.

Right I am going to go a bit political for a moment and telly as well. CNNI is reporting that La Megrahi is being released by the Scottish Courts. He isn't. It will be announced at 1pm scottish time that Kenny MacAskill the Scottish Justice Minister (and him alone) has decided to let him out early. Mr Macaskill is not a representative of the scottish courts, the government yes. If anyone thinks this is wrong tell me.

I thinks that me done on that subject. Next few nights will be rugby dominated. Buy the Cumnock Chronicle for rugby report IN THE PAPER.
