Apple Tablet is crap
There hasn’t been this much excitement for the arrival of a Tablet since Moses descended Mt Sinai with the 10 commandments. In homage to that great event here are TT’s 10 commandments for the upcoming Apple Tablet.
1) You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. (Apple Fan Boys take note)
2) The Tablet shall have no keyboard but somehow we will convince ourselves it doesn’t matter
3) The Tablet shall save all crappy newspapers and old media print businesses (oh no you won’t)
4) You must not steal one
5) You will find a good use for it (hmm still thinking)
6) You will still want to buy an crappy non wi-fi’d E reader (oh no you won’t, goodbye Sony)
7) You shall not badger your boss for the next 6 months about why your business needs to have one
8) You shall not buy one of these without telling your wife and sneak it into the house
9) You must not be envious of your neighbour’s goods (if they have a Tablet)
10) You must not kill (it’s illegal)
After saying all that, I’m still going to line up with the rest of the Fan Boys and buy one.

Andy Murray wins Australian Open
Andy Murray has reached the semi finals of the Australian Open. But can the miserable Scot go on to win? He plays Cilic in the Semi’s and then most likely will face Roger Federer in the Final.

This is a weird story. After losing to Arsenal, Stoke Manager Tony Pulis apparently has a shower, walks out butt naked and then head butts James Beattie. The big question for me is why was the manager having a shower in the first place?
The dispute was caused by Pulis reversing his decision to give his team a day off. Cast your predictions now for whether James Beattie has played his last game for Stoke.

The Times reported this morning that industrial output failed to grow in October. This is a big blow to the Government. And to add to their woes a CBI survey suggested that gloomy manufacturers expect output to fall in the coming months.
Brown and Darling need to convince the Markets that they are serious about bringing down the 180 Billion deficit. Britain currently has a good ‘tripple A’ credit rating. However ratings agencies are warning that ‘plunging tax receipts’ caused by the recession would seriously damage our ability to pay back the 180 Billion.
This is bad because it would cause the price of borrowing to climb even higher for the Government. This could create a spiral of nastiness where borrowing prices climb, tax receipts nosedive, the pounds get a big kicking, Darling has to go begging to the IMF and the bins don’t get collected (think Zimbabwe without the heat).
Cast your predictions now for whether you think Britain will come out of recession in 2009.

Some idiot ruins Lloyds TSB sign
Outrage this morning as it emerged that 200 Lloyds TSB executives are going to receive big bonuses (up to 80% of their annual salaries). The executives are receiving bonuses for sacking 11,000 HBOS staff after the ill fated take over last year. Lloyds is one of the banks that tax payers bailed out because they are so rubbish with money.
Brown and Darling had signalled earlier this week that they would stop a massive £1.5 billion payout to RBS executives (RBS is another crappy state owned bank). But the RBS board threatened to resign en masse and it looks like Gordy is backing down from a confrontation.
Cast your predictions now for whether Gordon Brown will stop the RBS and Lloyds bonuses.

- Cowell ruins Christmas
The Daily Telegraph ran a story this morning called “Simon Cowell ‘killed Christmas tradition” after William Hill said it is considering stopping taking bets for the Christmas number 1, because the XFactor winner is certain to claim the top spot.
Unfortunately X Factor winners have been Christmas number 1 since 2005, with the remarkably dull Shayne Ward (what ever happened to him?), Leona Lewis (looks like a horse to me but what do I know?), Leon Jackson (wasn’t he a cheery soul!) and Alexandra Burke (she was the best) each claiming the big prize. Simon Cowell has ruined a great tradition and has been a disaster for quality Christmas tunes. What about Cliff, what about Terry and Aled, what about The Soldiers? Can the yet unknown XFactor winner be stopped? Cast your predictions now.

Tiger Woods in happier times
The Tiger Woods story continues to be cloaked in mystery and intrigue. How did he crash? What was the cause of his crash? What club did his wife use to smash his car window. Early reports stated that she may have used a driver, but I would have thought a 7 iron would have been much more effective. A 7 iron has a shorter shaft and a better angle of attack ! If it were me, I would use a 7 iron every time.
But the rumours grow by the day and Tiger’s silence is only adding to the confusion. www.radaronline.com is reporting that Tiger has had a number of affairs over the past few years.
This whole mucky business can’t go on. Tiger’s time is up. We are predicting that Tiger Woods will be served with divorce paper’s in the next 6 months. But what do you think? Cast your predictions now.
