Really am .. what has this country come to ... the rich and powerful are laughing at us all whilst we the "lower classes" squabble and argue amongst each other and decide whether 4 years for stealing a bottle of water is actually long enough when compared to 6 months for tax evasion/expenses fraud totalling thousands, maybe millions of pounds - something that causes far more permanent damage - or let's sit back and watch the financial gamblers on the Stock Markets screw up our pensions, our futures and and any hopes that our youngsters may have whilst listening to the corrupt at the top saying "We're ALL in this together" - while jobs are lost and wages are frozen and rail fares rise by 8% ...
No ... 4 years years for stealing a bottle of water is FAR too lenient ...
I despair - I truly despair ... going to the pub (which no doubt is also full of self-righteous b*st*rds that have NEVER done anyhting wrong in their entire lives ...)
Closing down until further notice ....

It's been a very, quiet, peaceful week, as I catch my breath. I've lounged

Sorry Smiffy. Massive overreaction by you tonight.
Let the dust settle then get your arse back up to Bower Fold.
Massive overreaction by Smiffy ???
Read the message boards and THEN "massive overreaction" ...
Think you must have had an extraordinarily bad day. (We all have 'em). Politics is one thing, footy's another, never a good idea to mix the two in my humble opinion. Why cut off your nose to spite your face? Celtics experiment is starting to bring some very entertaining football. Hope you'll be be back, always good to see your pics on the site.
Were the snail jokes the final straw?
Celtic fan here. Just read the thread in question. Couple of points - unlikely to be a Celtic fan who was doing the most winding up. Clearly deluded if they are moving to Iran. Hope Smithy calms down but I guess its a free country and he can do what he wants, where as people can also express views (within reason) that other people don't like - we just have to live with it and take it on the chin.
Enjoy the blog, the photos and Smithy's perspective, so hope things get back to normal.
I despair of them too Smiffy; but I'm not letting self-righteous prats like them rob me of my football.
In the words of Mr Arteta: "Eh! Calm down, calm down"
I've just had a look at the offending Stalybridge forum and I take your point. There are some thoroughly obnoxious views on there, but surely they're just internet wind-up merchants. Yes there are people out there caught up in the whole "hang 'em and flog 'em mentality" but they're every bit as much sheep as the lads who got involved in the rioting and looting. I too am horrified at some of the views I hear but it could be worse - I'm getting them at home and I'd certainly not expected that at all. Will be going to football today (not Stalybridge!!) to get away from them for a while, even if I have to stand quietly and just watch the game on my own.
I for one will miss your photos Mike, please reconsider your boycott.

Sod em. Come down here. We need a decent photographer!
