It stands to reason that providing a school and teacher for 3 bairns on Unst or somewhere is higher than a building and a teacher for 20 in Falkirk. Or the cost of mile of road per number of cars going to use it on Harris compared to Cumbernauld. Or flying a woman to give birth from Raasay to Fort William. It costs the government more to provide public services to people in the North West and Islands. As a taxpayer, I don't object. But now you have a chance to help the national good in a way that only your part of the country can and you're all moaning. .
Haven’t We Heard This Voice Before?
Clinton betray some (but not too many) hurt feelings with genuine humor, she upped the ante by flattering Barack Obama as "very likable." Which prompted the Illinois senator to match Mrs. Clinton's most human moment to date with the most inhuman of his own. To use family-newspaper language, he behaved like a jerk - or, to be more precise, like Rick Lazio, the now-forgotten adversary who cleared Mrs. Clinton's path to the Senate by boorishly waving a paper in her face during a 2000 debate. Mr. Obama's grudging "You're likable enough, Hillary" made him look like "an ex-husband that was turning over the alimony check," in the formulation of Paul Begala, a Clinton backer. The moment stood in stark contrast to Mr. Obama's behavior in the corresponding debate just before the Iowa caucuses.

Two of those found the ground in Adair County near Columbia, where one took out a mobile home and unroofed a house. Over in Lincoln County to the east, two people were injured by another tornado late that afternoon. Now we wait and see if what happened in Park City Thursday is added to the above list. **All the above data courtesy of the Louisville National Weather Service.** SH The Top Weather Events of '07 (Updated 12/28/07) Should old weather happenings be forgot and never brought to mind? Ha! In my world, the answer is an emphatic NO!! They should be remembered--and ranked--for these were the events that helped characterize 2007. From now on when I think about '07, one word will come to mind: EXTREME.
Palatka couple, son are victims of crash
Joseph Bellamy, 31, of Pinellas Park was piloting the Cessna Skyhawk 172 as he took his parents, Gordon Dale Bellamy, 55, and Susan Louise Coyle Bellamy, 53, on a sightseeing flight. All three died when the plane crashed about 3:40 p.m. into Old Tampa Bay, about 100 yards short of Runway 22 at St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport. Their bodies were recovered from the submerged plane, said Tom Iovino, spokesman for Pinellas County, which owns the airport. Gordon Bellamy was a plumbing contractor in business with his brothers, Donald and Bruce, at Bellamy Plumbing Inc. in Palatka; the business was started by their father. Three wreaths were on a fence Monday at the Bellamy Plumbing office. Susan Bellamy was a registered nurse who worked at Putnam Community Hospital but had changed jobs to work at a Palatka dialysis clinic, said a nephew, Jason Fair.
School sets a healthy example
If it's good enough for one of the most famous age defying beauties in the world, then it's good enough for me. I'm making another pot of my mum's soup tomorrow to get me through the weekend. I still haven't had a drink since New Year and actually haven't missed it. I am going to a Dundee United "Hall Of Fame" event on Friday night when the wine will be flowing but have decided to drive there and back. I NEVER even have a wine gum when I am driving. I don't see the point of trying to second guess whether you are over the limit, and I firmly believe there should be a no booze rule for drivers anyway. I will enjoy my meal with a sparkling glass of water and no one will try and coax me into having a drink because they know I have the car.
