Pure drivel...

John Prescott and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer announce their respective departures on the same day? Coincidence? I don't think so. Indeed, I think they're doing a job exchange - super sub Solskjaer destined to be parachuted in as the next Hull East MP, Prescott, with his working knowledge of strikes, taking his rightful place in the Manchester United lineup.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's not much happening round these parts. Picture on the right is a spot of messy tagging we saw at the side of the River Hull on our weekend riverside walk. Went to see Rupert Creed's Slavers last Friday and enjoyed Rupert's leftfield take on the over-egged theme (at last, a piece of work that didn't get bogged down in old Willie Wilberforce) and the superb execution by the youth theatre cast, who had a lot of words to chew on and spit back out. Hark at me, I sound about as objective as Jeffrey Archer after a night out at the theatre.
