"Rob Kearney gay rumours"

I don't really know what kind of blog I'm running any more.

Someone (in Ireland presumably - using google.ie) got here by googling the phrase "Rob Kearney gay rumours".

And this blog was the sixth result.

Just to clarify - I don't know. And I don't really care. Just hoping he plays a blinder for the Lions.

One hour to go...

Just over an hour until the British & Irish Lions squad is announced and the excitement is reaching unbearable levels in my flat... where I'm all alone and scouring the web for titbits of info.

Here's some of the rumours going around:

• Shane Williams, Wales leading try scorer and IRB World Player of the Year misses out on the squad because of his poor form for the Ospreys and Wales this year.
  
  
• Shane Williams, Wales leading try scorer makes the squad because of his talent and the ability to waltz past huge South Africans.

Okay, those two are somewhat contradictory but here's some that are not:

• The squad will be expanded to 37 players.
  
  
• Josh Lewsey, England World Cup winner, will be a shock inclusion (Wasps connection no doubt helping there).
  
  
• There is no place for Danny Cipriani or Jonny Wilkinson.
  
  
• Gavin Henson might be selected on the basis that we have a distinct lack of flair players playmaker positions.
  
  
• Ryan Jones scrapes in as number 37.
  
  
• Or Andy Powell makes it instead...
  

Roll on 1.30pm!

Ex-MSP running anti-Nat blog?

Hearing a rumour (and I stress rumour) that anti-Nat rant-fest A Leaky Chanter is the "brainchild" of a former Labour MSP who remains upset that he lost his seat at the 2007 Scottish Parliament election.

If this is true, you really have to question the mentality of the people Labour select as candidates. And marvel in wonder at the kind of time the guy spends making up drivel about the party who took his seat (and his government) away from him.

And we thought all the characters had gone from politics.
