Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:01:42 GMT

Alf Young on Thursday: For a man who openly admits “we have our fingers crossed”, the Bank of England’s new deputy governor with responsibility for monetary policy, is showing a tendency to spout some dangerously mixed messages about the economic challenges we currently face.

... - but would urge you to check it out yourself. More recently, I received a text message from Alf Alderson . He was in the Faroe Isles and had met the local surfing population. It numbered one person. Crowded line-ups evidently aren't an issue up there in the North Atlantic, but is the surf any good? It must be - sometimes, anyway. I suspect that, rather like the Shetland Isles, the wind blows a...

One explosive mixture is forgotten at our peril (The Herald )

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 22:57:56 GMT

Alf Young on Tuesday: During crude oil’s brisk ascent to its July price peak of $147.27 a barrel, any war in the Caucasus or an earlier dissident strike against a key oil and gas pipeline route to the West would almost certainly have pushed that record even higher.
