I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech, I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

Contrasting emotions on waking up
England in a very strong position in the final Test against Australia but Gerry Rafferty has died. England 488-7 with Prior 54 not out, Gerry Rafferty 63.
Sad to lose a fellow Scot, he has gone to the Baker Street in the skies. Well done England, great stuff ! Will Ponting continue as Aussie captain ? Been absent from computers for about 2 months now, but hope to catch up with your blog, Mr. Goat. Glad it is still here !
Mr. Goat, Very kind to ask. The land is superb, better than I expected. On 18 November I had a meeting with a planning consultant ( former head of the planning department and was in charge of making the first Ordnance Survey map of Gambia in the 60/70s ). I only had a rough sketch plan. He organised a draftsman, submitted the application and I had an email this week from my lawyer that planning permission has been granted. No bribes ! That must be a world record ! Planning controls are much stricter than UK, especially in Brusubi where we have bought and all the posh people live ( ! ). Amazing country, always full of surprises, but not always pleasant ones !
