B&B

6 May

We’ve have just sat and watched what I believe is one the best dramas that have been on telly for some years, Undercover. The ending has left it open for another series, simply because the series issues have not fully been dealt with. If anything, they have deepened.

Then of course there’s the relationship between Nick and Maya has to be cleared up. I hope there will be a follow up anyway.

What do you make of the farce at Old Trafford yesterday? You will no doubt that I have very little time for football at any time, so why do I mention this today? I might not like the silly game, but there are millions of folks out there who are devoted to it. Thirty odd thousand of them had paid for and entered the ground to watch a game, and it was called off because some nutter left a suspect package somewhere within the seating area.

I’ve just read something on MSN home page that the package was a ‘practice bomb’. Surely the big worry now has to be when the practicing ends and the real bombs begin, and where will they placed? The thought of bombs in footy grounds should send shivers up the spines of all clubs and their supporters. These venues are large targets and an attack on them meets with the ideology of the current batch of terrorists simply because footy is an important part of British culture. Disrupting lives, that is what they are about, and that is so sad for all involved.

And guess what? The bomb was a fake left behind by a security firm after an exercise within the stadium. That however is not the point; if that was a real bomb how many would have been killed or hurt. And what if the terrorists hadn’t thought of it? They will be encouraged to see just how much chaos it caused. Oh dear … ... …

Another item on the MSN homepage is that the Met Office is forecasting a sizzling summer with temperatures up to 33C. Do you remember the so-called ‘barbeque summer’? It didn’t happen did it, and I would have thought that they would have learnt not to make such predictions. Weather forecasting is not a precise science, long forecasts like these are even more imprecise. But there again, it does give us something to look forward, of course, if it happens that is.
