New Year New Expectations some Old Hat

Well Scotland woke up this morning to the usual country-wide hangover and on radio Scottish justice minister Kenny McAskill panicked in alarm at the number of emergency calls after the bells. I put on the TV last night to see Jools Holland bring in the New Year but quickly turned it over after we had entered 2008.

2008 will no doubt see me watch very little TV but pay through the nose for my TV licence to view channels that should be called 'BBC knows best' and I cannot block the Beeb and throw my licence in the trash. Perhaps the EBC should be called London knows best and we are just the moaning jocks up north.

Perhaps of more relevance is your New Year resolutions that have a better sell-by date if they last beyond February. Seriously the Scottish Captain recommends only achievable small goals should be set as aiming big at a target too high often results in failure. I aim to be more organised and tidy this year but please do not equate my expectations with this blog and it's presentation.

The better news for all of us not only do we have our own government in Scotland (well government of sorts) but our very own Scottish Captain in cyberspace land. The Scottish Captain is of that age when watching Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds was the norm for a youngster. You could even dress like the captain now there's a revelation.

Being of the generation that rockets to middle age through the light years I am more than happy to seek out old 70s kids programmes on YouTube of my childhood. Belle and Sebastion, White Horses but not really Andy Pandy who retains the power to give the over 40 people serious nightmares. I like the theme tunes and why not? When you despair at the evil capitalists I can suggest better and maybe worse. Here is a video with the theme tune of White Horses time to get out your breakfast plastic bowles and pass the milk. Enjoy!
