ickledot is an ickle company
working and living in West Yorkshire. In Brontë
country, you might say. ickledot does graphic
design, digital imaging, writing and other
interesting stuff.
Saw this on Dave Winer’s Scripting News blog this
morning. Sarah Palin seemed to be a positive
choice as John McCain’s running mate a while
ago. If this is a truly reflects her
knowledge of matters foreign, perhaps the
rest of us have much to worry about.
So! The troubles grow in Thailand for former leader
and football fan Thaksin Shinawatra. As
protests become more intense in Bangkok, the
knock-on effects for the football club he
owns, Manchester City, are clear. A trivial
matter compared to the travails of a
country, obviously.
A wry smile from ickledot, however, as for the
second week running pundit Lee Dixon declared on
Match of the Day 2 that there was no better man
to be in charge of footballing matters in these
troubled times than City’s manager, Mark Hughes.
One cannot help thinking that the likelihood of
this crisis happening were plain to see when
Hughes took the job only a matter of weeks ago
and his ‘world-view’ radar may not be quite as
finely tuned as his football senses. The sensible
option might have been to remain in the
relatively secure waters of Blackburn. We shall
see.
