Sick as a pig

Sorry about the lack of posts over the last few days. I have a throat infection and a crazy temperature, I have spent the greater part of the weekend flat out.

Still, enough about me what is going on in the world? Here is the whistle stop tour as seen from my sick bed.

Putin says he will point nuclear weapons at Europe if the US builds a missile defence screen in Poland. I don't think so. Who would buy all Russia's gas if they nuked the west? International trade is a great vehicle for peace.

Olympic logo. Rubbish and expensive, I'm sure we'll get used to it. Here are some alternatives (I like James Wren's).

Mandelson's Westminster return. In his dreams, I would laugh myself stupid if Labour bring him back. It would tell us everything we need to know.

And from one sicky to another, get well soon Mr P.
