On Sunday Lord Mayor Colin Hall used his Twitter account to warn the Mercury to expect a “fiery week”.

If I was Coun Hall, I’d put a lottery ticket on this weekend, because he clearly has the power to see into the future:

  • On Monday his attack post against me and the newspaper was pulled by council bosses.
  • On Tuesday his trousers fell down in front of a library full of schoolchildren.
  • On Wednesday the story made international headlines.
  • On Thursday the leader of the opposition said he had undermined the historic office.

A ‘fiery week’ indeed. Have a good weekend everyone, and I’ll be back on Wednesday.
