Well it's a bit of a shame about Chris Huhne...although to be fair nobody seems to have a good word for him (and after all, what good sport it is, kicking a man when he's down). Now I'm not saying that his then wife should have taken the points for him...but, by hearsay, that's not uncommon, but it does seem a shame that an entire career is destroyed by what started off as something so small. There's an irony that he lost his licence anyway just a few weeks later when caught by the police for using his mobile whilst driving. I wonder how the ex-Mrs Huhne feels now. She told the journalist as a woman scorned. Does revenge feel good? And if it does, will it still feel good in the future? I somehow doubt it. I read that both Mr and the ex-Mrs are best described as 'highly manipulative', so perhaps they should have stayed together as they seem well suited.
This weekend there will be celebrations aplenty amongst the Chinese community as it's the Chinese New Year....the year of the snake. I was born in the year of the rat. Why don't they have nice animals for their years? How about Year of the Pussycat, Year of the Koala, Year of the Budgerigar? London's ChinaTown will be one of the major centres of celebration, and if you happen to be free come down and have a look in the morning. No not at the dancing Chinese lions and dragons, but at me, me, me. Some of the Olympic Opening Ceremony Drummers and Working Men and Women will be reprising their roles from the Pandemonium Sequence. I will be one of them. I'm very much looking forward to it. I won't be able to take the grin off my face.
Welcome to the year of the snake.
