IPod

When I bought an Ipod the first thing that struck me was the packaging. It was superb – the best I’d seen for any of my many gadgets. It makes no difference to the usefulness of the product but made me take value in the product. If you haven’t got an Ipod then you won’t know what I mean – unless you look at the piccies here.

If you really want to experience an Ipod for little or no cash (but a bit of effort) you could do worse than try this.

Champions Update

Fantastic – 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos away from home but annoyingly they were 5 minutes from an away win. Bugger, but great at the same time. Man U lost as well which shows just how well we played against Stuttgart and means Rangers are currently top of their league:

Champions League

Glasgow teams are playing yet again this week. Fantastic game for Celtic last night and a good 2-0 win. Rangers turn tonight with a tough away gamein Greece, but they’ve just scored – its 0-1 – the first time they’ve scored in Greece. Way-hey. Its half time and it couldn’t be going any better.

Of course by Saturday a Rangers win in the old firm derby is all that matters!

Appledore Work-In

Appledore Shipyard have started a sit-in to try and save their jobs. As with most ‘events’ these days, theres a blog too. Working in a shipyard myself I’ve seen the industry decline over the years. I can’t remember a year where redundancies haven�t been an issue. I hope Appledore can find a way forward but even though we’re an island nation, the demand for ships and the competition from abroad (including government subsidies) make it tough to justify the small number of yards that are still open in the UK.
