My Times



Last week I put up Survey 1 for your entertainment.
The results are starting to come in.
I have also added a guest book that I am hoping you will all take the time and get something or other off your chest.
Your comments about anything are most welcome!

The site of the week is EMI Canada.
They even have an Alan Frew section!



I hope you are all less frustrated than I am about the completion of my album mixes!
This week I should be finished!

The latest Dan Hill and Wrapped Around Your Finger news:
number 10 in Canada!
We seem to have dropped off the charts in the USA
Look for Wrapped in Europe and Asia in the coming days!


Motor Racing

The IndyCar season is over, and Jimmy Vasser has won the title!
The race was won by Alex Zanardi, your favourite driver, according to my survey.

Damon Hill blew it today at Monza.
What else can I say?


Politics

The situation in Iraq is really getting stupid!
I'm trying to buy the US administrations line about why they sent in the missiles last week, but, no other country except my own lame government (Britain) has supported their actions!
Did you know that there is no such thing as the "no-fly-zone", except in the eyes of the USA?
The United Nations has not passed any resolutions about a no-fly zone!
In fact, Iraq has not done anything against international law. They have every right to assist the American backed Kurdish party, the KDP, if they so choose to!
So maybe it was just an election "pick me up"?
Maybe it was too much of a shock for the US to realise that Iraq has joined forces with the side that the CIA has been supporting all along!

The worst part of all of this has been the media coverage! (as usual!)
If we all knew what was really going on in this world...we might have a valid opinion, and even some useful suggestions as to how we might make this planet a better place for all of us to live in harmony!
