The staple food of many students, Pot Noodles, is proving to be a mainstay of the recession.
I’m obviously not doing my bit for the economy as I can’t stand the things.
Unilever spokesman Tom Denyard said Pot Noodle sales were an indicator of consumer confidence.
No Tom. I think I’d rather trust the FTSE if you don’t mind.

Today we put up a mini-movie about 10:10 and climate change called 'No Pressure’.
With climate change becoming increasingly threatening, and decreasingly talked about in the media, we wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh. We were therefore delighted when Britain's leading comedy writer, Richard Curtis - writer of Blackadder, Four Weddings, Notting Hill and many others – agreed to write a short film for the 10:10 campaign. Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn't and we sincerely apologise to anybody we have offended.
As a result of these concerns we've taken it off our website. We won't be making any attempt to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet.
We'd like to thank the 50+ film professionals and 40+ actors and extras and who gave their time and equipment to the film for free. We greatly value your contributions and the tremendous enthusiasm and professionalism you brought to the project.
At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn.
Onwards and upwards,
Eugenie, Franny, Lizzie and the whole 10:10 team
Looks to me like they’re not that apologetic.
And I can guess that they come from the Notting Hill set. Judging by their names. (I may be wrong)
If you haven’t seen the video it can be found HERE
They can’t hide it from everyone. Here is this despicable, child indoctrinating film again.

And that’s all I’m going to say. Except that to openly support execution in the cause of your green religion is unbelievably, the product of a very sick mind.
UPDATE: They’ve closed the comments on Youtube.
I despair. I really do.
There’s a competition in the Metro in which you can send in your photo shopped postcard depicting London in the grip of climate change.
Paddy fields in London, Don’t make me laugh.
This is what I’ll send in
Just a sample pic, as I’ll need lots more mobile cranes to hang Greens, Politicians, AGWs’, carbon credit consortia, and all others who are peddling this travesty of science.
Remind me tomorrow to buy shares in caterpillar and other crane manufacturers.
I do have futures in piano wire.
Maybe.
Britain’s leading scientific institution has been forced to rewrite its guide to climate change and admit that there is greater uncertainty about future temperature increases than it had previously suggested.
The Royal Society is publishing a new document today after a rebellion by more than 40 of its fellows who questioned mankind’s contribution to rising temperatures.
Maybe they might let me become a member. I’ve been saying that for years.
And the barbecue summers that the Met Office warned us about.
The Royal Society even appears to criticise scientists who have made predictions about heat waves and rising sea levels. It now says: “There is little confidence in specific projections of future regional climate change, except at continental scales.”
But of course it’ll take years for the political class to come round to the fact that they’ve been conned by all the vested interests in the “settled science”. They’re still being duped.
Meanwhile, the Government is planning an exercise to test how England and Wales would cope with severe flooding caused by climate change. Exercise Watermark will take place in March and test emergency services and communities on a range of scenarios that could occur.
Of course they are trying to confuse us by just changing the name from AGW to “global climate disruption”, in the hope that their green followers will remain in a state of perpetual panic.
*Sigh*
A tail(sic) of fluffy animals, white lines, and an other department’s incompetence in Medway.
White lines have been painted over a fox as it lay dead in a village.
If you are of a weak or feeble disposition, or a bunny hugger, look away now.
I mean really, how could they have missed it? I honestly thought these sort of things were urban myths.
However the council attempted to wriggle out of it’s responsibility (As they do).
A council spokesman said: "This was an unfortunate incident that occurred while private contractors employed by the council were carrying out road marking work.
Note to the Council: He who submits the lowest tender is not always capable of executing that tender.
(Learnt by experience of shiprepairer contracts).
*I don’t know why I keep writing about Medway, I don’t even live there. However I do feel sorry for the inhabitants.*
I’m sure there’s a great wailing and nashing of teeth by Westminster council, over these boys, doing their civic duty.
No. I haven’t turned to religion I’m just feeling thoroughly pissed off over this.
The Bank of England’s deputy governor yesterday urged the country to go on a shopping spree to boost the fragile economy.
In an extraordinary move, Charles Bean said he wanted to see Britons ‘not saving more, but spending more’.
and
he said: ‘What we’re trying to do by our policy [low interest rates] is encourage more spending. Ideally, we’d like to see that in the form of more business spending but part of the mechanism that might encourage that is having more household spending. So, in the short-term, we want to see households not saving more, but spending more.’
Well Mr Bean, I’ve worked all my life in order to have a comfortable retirement and selfishly I want to keep my money. I’ve paid an extortionate amount of tax over all those years, so you’re not entitled to tell me what to do with my savings. After all with your quantative easing you devalued my savings in order to get you out of the hole you and the previous Government dug as it is.
So no Mr Bean, I shall not obey your orders to spend more for the good of the country. In a nutshell , get stuffed.
After all, when I snuff it, no doubt you’ll be round to my gaff for another sizeable wad.
