Random musings from the week:
I've been doing some physio research recently and I was reading an article about physios in the TA. Quite often they are attached to front line units so have to be a soldier and a physio. During a speech from one of these soldier/physios they were asked about the dangers faced and I was quite amused by the answer 'There's always a slight risk if you join the military that something might happen.'
Talk about trying to underplay the risks, really don't think the words slight and might are appropriate here. It's pretty much guaranteed that "something might happen" when you are in the TA and the fact that you may be shot or blown up while performing your job is a pretty big risk I would have thought.
The Scottish Executive seems to have it's knickers in a twist over a couple of rogue beavers in the Perth area. Beavers aren't native to Scotland since they were hunted to extinction centuries ago but it seems that two have recently escaped from captivity. The Executive are demanding the beavers are captured, effectively branding them outlaws. All they have done is gnaw down a few trees, good to see the Executive getting their priorities right. Maybe this will be the first every case of an animal ASBO.
I think Jack McConnell has been watching too many episodes of Stop The Pigeon and fancies himself as Dick Dastardly. Does this make Wendy Alexander Muttley?
There was some amusing chants from the Hibs fans at the recent Queen of the South v Hibs game. Apparently you can't get a reception for Channel 4 in the Dumfries area so Hibs fans started chanting "We've got channel 4" and "You've never seen ER". Inspired, inventive & funny. Who ever said football fans weren't intelligent.
The Britney Spears rehab doll is available to buy. It comes complete with a skinhead and a straight jacket.....
The mighty Disney corporation has been defeated by......... a bloke from Newcastle who produces porn for mobile phones. Disney used the slogan Dreams Come True but the the porn slogan was "A Place Where Dreams Come True" and this had been copyrighted. After a legal challenge, Disney have stopped using their slogan. You could say it's a victory for the little man although that's not a phrase you hear very often in connection to porn.

Why did they let all the beavers leave the Beaver Bank?
Was there some sort of mass lay-off that meanth they had to go back to the rivers of Perth?
What's happening with all those elderly people who have their savings invested in the Beaver Bank?
Perhaps the beavers have escaped captivity in order to visit the mythical land of beaverbank.
Mythical? I saw that thing with my own 2 eyes.
It's mythical for the Beavers, their very own land of plenty. the Beavers like to tell tales off how much better life would be if they were in the Beaverbank but very few have actually gained entry.
