Balls it is

Following the race noticed at reference 1, the people who brought Jungle Island to Horton Lane have put on a new attraction, clocked on yesterday's Horton Clockwise. See illustration left and reference 2.

However, while we did follow up the pig racing with a personal visit and we did visit jungle island, we will probably not visit this enhanced driving range, having found on my last visit, perhaps 10 or more years ago now, that I had great trouble hitting the ball, with only about one in ten going anywhere much at all and one about one out of the fifty or so altogether going a respectable distance. I could not show the attraction proper respect.

And while we are on the subject of balls, I don't much care for Mr Balls either. Strikes against him as far as I am concerned include his complete absence of any humility about the financial meltdown during his last watch on HMS Treasury (a ship of state which one might think was in the business of trying to stop such things, with 18 inch turrets at the ready) and the fact that his wife is also in the shadow cabinet. Not sure which of these two items I find the more obnoxious, but certainly either he or his wife should step down. There should be an update of Cromwell's self denying ordinance - Cromwell being the chap whose statue stands in a prominent position outside our Houses of Parliament.

PS: perhaps SNP will refuse to work with renegades and insist on Mrs Balls' scalp after the election, her having been born north of the border. Problem solved.
