Students

The poor little students are upset that some of them may be punished for their actions.

Defend the Millbank protestors

Why not go over and add your comment?

It’s got it all

In an article here  in ABC , the Drum, Unleashed, the paragraph below is from one of the commentators . He really is a good little Global warming, Climate change, Climate disruption, believer. The article in question is a cynical swipe at the Flat earthers, AGW supporters.

If you look at my emphasis you’ll note how he manages to  squirrel in a plethora of emotive words in his comment. Pretty good Huh.

Oliver W:
If the doctor who told you to manage the pain was taking money from the drug company from whom you need to buy your pain killers, would you still trust them?
You need to wake up, and look at the serious conflict of interest being shown by the anti-global warming factions. Big Mining, Big Oil, Big Cars, MORE GROWTH....We know what these people want, and it MORE MONEY AND POWER.
The same tactics of delay and deny, were used by the big tobacco companies, so that they could continue to make massive profits while knowing full well that the medical evidence was correct, and that they were killing people.
We need a change of direction here, because people, if you are under 40, this issue will come home to roost during your lifetime. For those old enough to miss the fun, think about your children cause they will cop it instead......

Well done to get the Cheeeldren in.

They had balls

In no way is this post mocking what our forebears did. It’s just to show that even in the dark days of WW2. They just learnt to adapt in what was the truly British way.

My favourite is Rule 7.

Note: Both my Grandfathers spent many years alternating as Captain of their club.

Sorry for the poor definition.

Scum

On the day we honour our dead we get this. I wonder if the craven BBC and the Police will cover it

Oh the poor victims.

Lest we Forget

On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a drug store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store’s PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the store’s leadership role in adopting the Legion’s “two minutes of silence” initiative. He felt that the store’s contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o’clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the “two minutes of silence” to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry’s anger towards the father for trying to engage the store’s clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, “A Pittance of Time”.

Odious Belgian Twat

No offence to the Belgians. But.

If you’re wondering. I’m referring to Herman Von Rompuy.* Yes that little man that came from nowhere as unelected President of the Council of Europe.

He’s just made a speech that should worry most of you who think that this country has any sovereignty left.

Firstly he is unshakeable in the view that the Euro is in our best interests.

Ever since, the fate of Europe and the euro have been intertwined.
The euro is the most visible and the most palpable sign of our common destiny. It is also our most
powerful tool.
Sharing a currency means that the decisions of one, affect all.
We have seen how! This spring, the crisis of a country of 10 million people became the crisis of 350
million people; early May, it even turned into a global threat.

And here is what he really wants.

We have together to fight the danger of a new Euro-scepticism.
This is no longer the monopoly of a few countries.
In every Member State, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world.
It is more than an illusion: it is a lie!

Yes I am old enough to admit to voting for the Common Market. No Mr Rompy Pompy. I didn’t vote for a fucking United States of Europe. I want my country back.

* No I didn’t spell it wrong by mistake.

Shop goes “Bust”

Had to laugh at this.

A supermarket shopper was surprised to find she had been overcharged for her fruit and veg – because the cashier’s large breasts were resting on the scales.

And a bit of re-training maybe?

‘The young lady concerned was taken aside and the matter was sorted out.

Well it brightened up my morning.

Sounds like British Rail.

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room.

She heard the train stop and her son saying,

 'All of You b*****ds who want off, get off now, 'cos we're in a hurry! And all of you b*****ds who are getting on, get on now, 'cos we're going down the tracks'.

The horrified mother went in and told her son,

'We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS.
When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language.'

Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say,

'All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you.
We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.'

She hears the little boy continue,

'For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train.
We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.'

As the mother began to smile, the child added..........

'For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat controller in the kitchen.’

More Rubbish

More stop smoking dodgy statistics from Cancer Research UK.

In 2007, 32% of smokers in England said they had tried to quit within the previous three months. This fell to 23% in 2008, 22% in 2009 and stood at 17% at the end of October 2010.

Depends on what you ask a smoker.

And you have a worrying paragraph below.

Professor Robert West, director of tobacco studies at the Cancer Research UK health behaviour research centre, said: "As the country tightens its financial belt, we've seen the number of smokers trying to quit slow down.

So we’re to be likened to Dogs or lab Rats now.

Professor West's report also found that fewer than 5% of smokers use NHS stop smoking services, which have been found to be much more effective than quitting alone.

Yeh right. The quit rate from their own published figures gives a high success rate of just 1.6%.  Very effective my arse.

The one thing you have completely overlooked Professor  West, is that Smokers like smoking.

So just FUCK OFF and leave me alone.

I’m back

No don’t groan.

It’s been a busy two weeks which  left me mentally exhausted and therefore blogging became a secondary importance.

As I’ve posted before I was involved in buying a flat for my daughter and her Fiancée which involved numerous financial changes of position due to the inability of the mortgage lender to actually provide any sort of service. Including an act of sufficient impropriety that could result in legal proceedings against the institution.

Then the latest and more taxing event was Bonfire night.

On saturday my house was invaded by a locust like horde demanding shelter and hospitality. The bloody kids and their partners. before and after the display I spent the whole evening trekking to the local shop to keep them suitably supplied with the refreshments of their choice.

I am now destitute.
