How To Win Friends And Influence People



So Colonel Gaddafi is visiting Mr Berlusconi in Italy this week. Having been extended the privilege of erecting his tent in a park in the centre of Rome (an opportunity the Roma would never get), how does the colonel thank his host? By turning up to official engagements wearing a photo of a Libyan hero Ohmar Mukhtar the day before he was executed by Italian colonialists pinned to his uniform. Nice one Muammar. Mind you anything that keeps the press off Berlusconi's predilection for teenage girls, is probably welcome to him at the moment.



President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could see himself out of work when the Iranian presidential election results come in. I for one will be pleased to see a regime that treats women with a greater degree of equality replace this humourless despot.



I was saddened to see this idiot being pelted with eggs by protesters. Not only was it a waste of good eggs but it also managed to get the BNP on the TV yet again and might even get some people sympathising with them. Lets' just hope that, before the next election, people realise that this is a fascist, whites,heterosexual and non Jews only party. I have plenty of Jewish, gay and non-white friends,acquaintances and customers and whilst it might sound far fetched don't forget what happened when a party with similar views took over in Germany.So please argue all you can against the BNP but don't do it undemocratically. In order to win those seats they had to win a share of the vote. Thankfully here in Sefton this was less than 6% but in Barking and Dagenham it was a very scary 19%.



So farewell to Cristiano. The Barclays Premier League will certainly be worse without him. However much we non-Man United fans loved to hate him, anyone with an ounce of knowledge of football could only admire his skills. Whether or not they justify Real spending £80m is anyone's guess but whilst Sir Alex will be wondering how on earth he can find a replacement for a once in a decade player, the bosses in the finance department will be rubbing their hands over a £68 million profit.



Don't forget that our June special offers continue with 10% off the WM15 until Monday morning at 10 am. To qualify orders must reach us by the deadline and quote blog offer 110609.

As we said on the blog on this day last year, there May be a birthday here at Instanta today but the celebrant May not want a photo on the web. So Maybe we will mention it or perhaps we May not.Whatever the case we hope that it goes well if that May be the case.



What happened to that barbeque summer those forecasters were promising us? I was looking forward to long evenings in the garden with the smell of singed and burning flesh wafting across from the neighbours' together with loud music, clinking bottles,talking and the sound of stomachs being evacuated until the early hours and will really miss it.Last night's forecast? Light ground frost. Mind you last time I asked "what happened to", it was swine flu and now we've officially got a pandemic. There was a doctor on the radio last night saying that people over 56 don't seem to be affected. That means I've only got three months at risk.

Here in Southport you can't keep a good man down and local businessman JB (not me) is back on the front page of the local midweek paper. This week shots were fired at his front door whilst his wife sat in the front room with the curtains open and all the lights on (as you do when you are in the midst of some sort of underworld war).The local paper chose to illustrate the piece with a photo of Kenny Dalglish. Poor Kenny who is a completely innocent party, happens to live nearby. What next? A piece on stabbing in Brixton accompanied by a photo of the Queen because she lives in London? I'll leave you with the new Southport anthem.
