gets 6 months for fraud. The judge cited "deceptive invoices" and "considerable dishonesty" as he sent the criminal packing. Its a shame he didn't get "a little extra time" as he showed contempt for the court by saying "cheers" as he was sentenced. Macshane had maintained that he did not profit from the money, (whaaaat!) saying the fake claims had covered legitimate trips to Europe and that he had repaid the money - - - Oh well that's alright then!!!!! .
Another doggy story here Dog rescued from stormy sea this time from Sky News. A dog walker let his animal go into the rough seas only to see it washed away and even though the had assistance looking for it eventually gave it up for dead.
luckily for the pooch it had scrambled onto a reef and was found there by the local lifeboat. The pic shows the dog being plucked from the rocks. Our Weather news is not at all good with the current storms sweeping the UK. This BBC story gives good coverage of all the major disruption. Christmas dinner looks a no no for the 100,000 homes without power! - - -
I was sent this Really cool link for wind chart! which shows our storm off to its best effect. (works ok on Chrome but needs IE 9 or better) I picked up on this Odd story from Siberia covered by the Mail. A group of experienced Russian skiers with all the correct equipment set off for a trek to a remote mountain in the Urals. All perished in mysterious circumstances which were never fully explained. until now - - - maybe - - - worth a read.
Closer to home
After a stormy wet day yesterday we look to be getting a little respite after the overnight high winds seem to have blown themselves out.
Its time for a little logging this morning before settling down in front of the fire later
Merry Christmas!
Enjoy the day
