Concussions, liberation and a few beers

Are my excuses for being a bit sporadic in the last few days. Thursday evening I had an unplanned encounter between my head and the bottom of Vazon Bay, after misjudging the depth of the water and a bail out off the board, needless to say, my head was a little sore after that (and a ridiculous carpet-burn-looking graze on my head and a big hole on the bottom of my board to prove it). I had a guest over the weekend, and then yesterday was Liberation Day here in the Channel Islands. So needless to say, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with other things.

Wife in dead husband widow shocker

I was dismayed to receive an email from the honourable Mrs. Felicia Jones, who wanted my assistance in getting some money out of Zimbabwe. My dismay was due largely to the shock news : her husband was dead, and she was a widow…

My husband was one Of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not Support the president’s political ideology, the president’s Supporters invaded my husband’s farm, burnt down Everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds Sustained, he became sick and died after two days. And After his death I became a widow over night…

I can’t help feeling how lucky she was that her husband had wittled away a mere $18m during his lifetime and simply needed brokering to an account in South Africa through a “reliable foreign partner”.

Well done Beth Tweddle

She won’t win any prizes in a beauty contest, but Beth Tweddle can spin around on the parallel bars like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The European gold winning 21 year old scored 16.050 to win the title. Congrats to her.
