So Sad

Parenthood is one of the greatest things in life. We live through our children's successes and failures,their illnesses, their loves, their hates, their music and their fashions. We enjoy their company and love them with a love that is so different than any love in life. And most of all we hope that we will never ever outlive them. So today our hearts go out to David Cameron and his wife Samantha who have lost their son Ivan at the tender age of 6. I know that every parent, regardless of their politics will share the Cameron's grief. Let's hope that the media allow the family to mourn their loss in peace.



On a happier note, after yesterday's order slow down, things have swung the other way today with almost fifty boilers ordered before lunch. This is a good day and we hope that we can ship as many of them as possible before the end of the month. Sadly we won't be able to fulfill all the orders as one model is out of stock but we will get most of them out.




This week's Orange Wednesday film is Gran Torino. I am looking forward to this as it dwells on the evil issue of racial prejudice and its poisonous effect on life. Last week's film "Bolt" was brilliant. Catch it if you can.



I am still playing the Colour of Money online. The game is compulsively addictive and there are now over three hundred people on the leader board. I would love to get to be the top player for the week but some people are cheating and spoiling things for the rest of us. I had to suspend my offer of £100 to any Instanta blog reader being in the top ten of the leader board due to the cheats' loophole. I have written to the website and asked them to correct the cheat. If they do then I will reopen the offer and yes that does include Instanta staff members.A really good interview with Paul was printed in the local press. Thanks for the nice comments about the family son. Play the game here

And for those people who think that us Liverpool fans have no sense of humour (and having watched some of our performances this season we could be excused if we had none), here is a goal that our reserves conceded last week against Everton of all people.
