Congratulations to the BBC for their excellent programming on President John F Kennedy, who was assassinated 40 years ago (a few months before I was born). Now there was a President to admire, a President a country could be justly proud of.

"Looks like we might be facing a water shortage next year" the water authorities announce. The Environment Agency says we need 20% higher-than-average rainfall over the Winter to make up for the drought we've experienced this year.

That game was the last I will probably ever see veteran Canadian defenceman Scott Young play because in the game the following evening, he punched a referee and will likely not play in the UK again. Not a very suitable way to end a long career.

Just one game this weekend: London Racers at Coventry. Not seen the Racers play before and with the Coventry team depleated through injury, I quite expected a close game. Sadly, the Racers simply didn't deliver.
