I've not read the book yet, but Ffion spoke much about the strange degree of 'honesty' about how he went about his 'activities. In fact he blamed his wife because she wasn't on hand to satisfy him when he needed. It seems that his philandering was so open that it was his wife who informed Lloyd George that his mistress was 'cheating' on him - and he was deeply upset about it for years. It seems that it was the way politicians behaved in those days.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-12608783243338791782008-12-16T08:32:00.000+01:002008-12-16T08:32:00.000+01:00Christopher - Glasgow has been transformed over th...Christopher - Glasgow has been transformed over the last 20 years - so I'm told. And I'm not surprised its men are more cheerful, but the question is "What about the women". Perhaps they should all go and watch football as well.<BR/><BR/>Frank - I like chocolate, but not that much.

Scoring goals is so important that the big Scottish teams hire a lot of foreign players. <BR/><BR/>If one of the big Scottish teams could take turns to play for Scotland, Scotland would do so much better at international matches. <BR/><BR/>I'm no expert, but it seemed to me that the Scots really do take their soccer/football very seriously and love it when their team scores. <BR/><BR/>The Celtic/Rangers match being one example that is guaranteed to be talked about more than sex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
