Kennedy out, Liverpool win and house burgled

What a weekend!

First the Charles Kennedy saga. On Thursday he admits he had a drinking problem. Friday he says he will not quit as it would be "a dereliction of duty" and on Saturday he is out.

There goes his political life at the top. There was no way he could have continued when most of his frontbenchers were sharpening their knives for him. Thus, after months of whispering campaigns, Charles Kennedy is out.

At least now he can try to quit drinking without the pressure from his political peers. And for his party, its leadership contest now.

Then comes the Liverpool win over Luton. What a comeback after being 3-1 down to win 5-3. And what superb goals by Alonso.

Maybe the early start of the season is showing but with the way the team is playing now, its only probable that they go on to do well in the league, Champions League and the FA Cup.

And finally, personally for me the week started with burglars breaking into my house. They got away with the wife's handbag (and some personal belongings and cash), a cake and a bottle of coke.

Now, our kitchen window is bolted shut, an extra padlock on the dining door and a request to the university to change our kitchen door (from a glass one to a wooden one).
