of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

a modest proposal
an idea that might improve the sublime spectacle that is professional soccer
given david beckham's poor disciplinary record in the spanish league this season, and his imminent move to play in america, the question will inevitably recur ... "should football introduce sin-bins ?"
the answer is clearly "yes & no" ...
instead of a boring bench where a vexed player might sit for a few minutes, we need a coin-operated touch-line X-box confessional booth ... linked to giant screens ... virtual priests for ordinary matches ... virtual bishops for the european cup ... virtual archbishops for the world cup ... players may only return to the fray when they have been thoroughly absolved ... the element of suspense as the sidelined players grapple with their conscience will lift the game to new levels of stress

aaargh !
this evening as i was sitting down to edit today's pictures, my phone rang
instinctively i stood up to answer the call, and yanked the usb cable, damaging the socket at the side of the camera
the camera has gone to sleep & i don't know if it can be repaired
woe !
