Do your homework Paxman!

Thanks to the ever watchful Baron Sarwar of Govan for this excellent kippering of Jeremy Paxman who was caught all of a flutter by Doctor Eurfyl ap Gwilym of Plaid Cymru.


The rather condescending way he dismisses Dr Gwilym as deputy chairman of the Principality Building Society, as if he were some provincial building society branch manager, belies his ignorance of the PBS which boasts 51 branches across Wales, more than 1,000 staff and over 500,000 members. Not only is Principality a major player in the Welsh economy it is also the 8th largest building society in the UK.



Paxman's attack on Dr Gwilim's figures echo that of Welsh Secretary Peter Hain.

Iechyd da!

Angela McCluskey - Diva without a talent show.

I know that we're all supposed to worship at the altar of the world's most famous Scottish singer, talent show runner up Susan Boyle and her remarkable rise to platinum record sales, global fame and wealth. Even Alan McGee was at it a couple of weeks ago, disparaging the critique by numbers brigade by proclaiming Ms Boyle the new diva and giving her edgier cult status by suggesting her vocal delivery belongs in the world of David Lynch where her 'album is eerily detached to an almost tragic degree'.

So in tribute to a brilliant singer who hails from Glasgow and is just about completely unknown in her native land but revered around the world. I give you my wee pal Angela McCluskey of Glasgow, New York, Los Angeles and Paris and her latest single. Enjoy.
