You Cannot Be Serious
Baton Rouge
We all went down to Ryan's all-you-can-eat steakhouse last night for some proper American fayre. Despite protesting in advance that I wasn't hungry, I managed to put away a plate of steak, a plate of fried chicken and one of fried shrimp followed by some apricot pie with cream and a bowl of sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. That certainly filled a hole. Even Abigail and Audrey gamely managed some corn and macaroni which they seemed to enjoy.
I haven't seen much TV on this trip so watching it last night was pretty interesting, if only because I saw what may be the worst show in history. It's John McEnroe's new talk show on the CNBC cable channel. It is appalling. Recently it recorded zero viewers and having watched it I don't find that at all surprising. As if the no-name guests aren't bad enough, his attempts at "satire" are truly toe-curling. At one point he interviewed someone pretending to be Satan, and also had a skit involving a man wearing a t-shirt with 'Patriot Act' written on it shooting a man wearing a similar 'Bill Of Rights' shirt. "The Patriot Act killed The Bill Of Rights!" It must have seemed funny in rehearsal.

Vogts to leave Scotland on Monday
Vogts has been under heavy criticism for some time
Berti Vogts' tenure as Scotland manager will come to an end on Monday, BBC Scotland has learned.
It is understood that an agreement has been reached between the Scottish Football Association and Vogts and his lawyer Andi Gross.
An official announcement by the SFA is expected to confirm the news of Vogts' departure on Monday.
Walter Smith is the favourite to replace Vogts, with Gordon Strachan's name also in the frame.
The news of the German's departure ends weeks of speculation regarding his future.
A defeat at home to Norway and an away draw with Moldova at the beginning of October left Scotland with just one point from their opening three World Cup qualifiers.
Added to a series of embarrassing friendly defeats, those results proved to be the final straw for the SFA board, who had previously stuck by Vogts in the face of huge criticism from the media.
