My Plumbing is killing me. Oh what Now!

 

It would appear from a study that I'm in grave danger from the pipes in my house. I always knew the buggers were out to get me when I plumbed in the down stairs toilet.

Scientists have claimed people should remove old copper pipes from their homes or install special filters because the metal has been shown to build up in their bodies and cause serious health problems.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about it though, apart from rip it all out and renew it in stainless steel, thus bankrupting me, due to the cost. I know I'll renew it in lead. That's much easier to work. Oh, I seem to remember that, that will kill me even faster. In that case I'll take my chances with copper.

Dr George Brewer, lead researcher, said the study in mice had wide ranging implications for health authorities.

That's all right then, cos I'm not a mouse.

At least they haven't published bogus statistics yet.

We are guilty. Burglars welcome.

So according to the Home Office we are the guilty ones.

The public is warned not to leave themselves open to thieves and burglars in a new advertising campaign today.

Around one-third of burglaries are carried out when windows and doors have been left open.

The Home Office campaign also highlights the danger of personal theft when mobile phones and other items are on show.

Jobsworth alert, Ducky

It's about time this sort of thing stopped.

A mother has been fined £75 for feeding ducks in a park with her toddler son.

Vanessa Kelly had taken 17-month-old Harry on his weekly visit to the to feed ducks when she was approached by a council warden.

The reason being given that it would attract vermin. It certainly did that.

I really am losing the will to live when I read articles like this. Bloody jumped up little Hitler.

Read it for yourself if you don't mind high blood pressure.

Mugged during torture

I've just been fleeced.

Went to the dentist last week and submitted myself to the tender ministrations of the hygienist. (I think they train them in Guantanamo).

Having been out of the country for long periods, I've ended up as a private patient. The cost though is taking the Michael. £125 for an hour's worth of torture is surely not right. Even taking in overheads of say £25 per hour for anaesthetics, rent, rates, etc, how can they justify their charges?

For an average day that would work out at £800 per day, £4000 per week, £192,000 per year.

Does anyone know how to enroll in this well paid torture profession?

guess what? I've got the High Priest, His Holiness the Dentist, tommorow.

Wish me luck. If I do not return here then ....................................

Support needed

If you nip over to Dave's part you see that he is being sued for libel by Tory activist Johanna Kaschke, who seems to me to be somewhat dubious in her choice of political parties.

It is further uncontested that Ms Kaschke nominated herself as Labour candidate for Bethnal Green & Bow in 2007; that she received just one vote; that shortly thereafter she defected to George Galloway's Respect party; shortly after that, she joined an as-yet-unspecified Communist Party; and that shortly after that, she became a Conservative. She was, in other words, a member of four political parties in 12 months.

Do nip over and wish him luck. After all it may be you who she goes after next.

Taking the piss is such fun.

You know you will laugh Derek. Even you must see the funny side. You're not the first to have this treatment, and you won't be the last.
