June is becoming an all-or-nothing month for british weather in our new globally warmed climate. Last week it rained incessantly. I got soaked in the downpour. This week the sun is out with a veangeance and I got soaked with sweat. You just can't beat the british weather can you? You get soaked no matter what happens..

Puppies For Sale

Ther's a fashion for 'handbag dogs' going on, and perhaps not too suprisingly, unscrupulous east european traders are selling puppies reared in very dubious conditions. I must admit, I do get tired of the animal welfare lobby and its extremist idiots who are more interested in being eco-terrorists than actually helping animals, but there are times when I cannot disagree. Now of course the traders are at fault and should be stopped from treated these animals cruelly, but then aren't they just responding to market opportunities? The real idiots here are the celebrities who treat an animal as a fashion accessory. A dog is not just for handbags.

Comeback of the Week

This definitely goes to Edwyn Collins, a succesful singer/songwriter (Never met a girl like you before) who suffered two serious brain haemorhages. Despite being unable to use his right arm to play guitar properly, and having difficulty in speaking clearly, he's fighting back and releasing a new single. Its good news, but whats even better is that he's so self effacing about it all. If anyone deserves a comeback he does. I wish him well.
