Saw this on Niall Ferguson's Twitter feed. NBC/WSJ poll. Pretty much hinting at the above. Could be a lot of shy Trump supporters out there. Of the handful of Americans I know abroad the majority are Trump supporters.

I've stopped drinking mid-week (with the exception of work functions and the like) and it's remarkable how good I'm feeling come Friday. Not sure how anyone (other than Andy Fordham) could do 10 pints a night and hold down a regular job...

^ I remember Davids and Zidane playing at the same time. Am I mistaken...? Edit: could be getting my wires crossed with Deschamps.

Trump at 11/4 now (2.75/1). Could cash out now with a small profit, but think I'll stick to the bitter end. Fancy him to do this, or at least make it very tight. Think there's still a few more bits of info to come out for each side.

You're right, he's made some shrewd purchases without rocking the boat too much. Like Deila though, I think he'll eventually hit that ceiling, ironically because of the speed of his success. Too good for the SPL, but unlikely to make inroads into Europe. (Maybe I should hope he does so well...

Quite incredible that Rodger's is talking about winning the league in style - it's October! To be fair, he's not wrong. Shame that no one could put a proper challenge. Rodger's has really taken them to a different level from Deila.

Had a mates 30th in Manila last year (weekend of the Mayweather Pacqiao fight). I know plenty of people who've been to Cebu, Boracay and the like, who love it, but I found Manila quite horrible. Bangkok is about the only reference point I can make, but a whole lot more disfunctional and far-far...

I sit next to a Filipino at work - they absolutely love the guy.

9/2 is basically saying that there's an 18% chance of him winning. Between the polls and my own gut feeling I do think Hilary will probably win, but I reckon Trump's chances of winning are higher than 18%, therefore I reckon it's good value and worth a punt.

Trump at 9/2. Clinton at 1/7. Surprised how skewed these odds are (to me at least). Definitely getting a piece of that.

Thanks - booked tickets this morning. Going for 7 days. Robben Island, winery tour, Cape Point, Boulders beach, Table Mountain, Safari...? Anything else?

Has anyone been to South Africa? Thinking of basing myself in Cape Town for a week over September.

Back in Abu Dhabi after stopping off in Istanbul last weekend. Very cheap accommodation and flights after the recent terror attacks. Quite impressed how quickly they got the airport sorted after the attacks.

Bangkok is one of my favourite cities. Perfect in winter what it's a little cooler. Had 2 great Christmases there. Fantastically cheap too.

A good article about this topic: http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2015/05/militarisation-americas-police "The American Civil Liberties Union found that the value of military equipment used by American police departments has risen from $1m in 1990 to nearly $450m in 2013...
