Oooh what a big one

A house of Chavs and chavettes have just had their 62" TV impounded after complaints about excessive noise. Why on earth does anyone need that size of TV? If they had a mansion, then maybe, but in a two up,two down terraced house. Oh and by the way it was all for the sake of the chillun.


It makes you sick, no wonder they're both partially deaf.

It's probably the TV that caused the deafness in the first case.

Hope for the future

And yeah it shall come to pass........

And I'm reserving a plot for the future, for the rest of the shits in Westminster.

Bearded Tossers

I see that the radical Islamists were out in force in Luton today protesting against the Royal Anglican Regiment.

You can watch it here

They would have really have been screwed if the "Poachers" had turned gamekeepers. Notice the fixed bayonets.

Riot Training

I was visiting an old Aunt in Hospital this afternoon. I happened to eavesdrop on the conversation at the next bed, which concerned a young lass telling her Gran, that next week was her riot training week. (No, not the Gran)

Is this a coincidence or a portent of events to come?

Clause 152 Dead

Reading in the Sunday Telegraph it looks like Jack Straw has been forced to amend clause 152 of the Coroner's and Justice bill. (Clause 152 for the unitiated would allow an individuals personal data to be shared amongst almost, all government departments.)

Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, is to shelve proposals which critics said would have led to patients' confidential medical records being passed to third parties.

A spokesman for Mr Straw said the "strength of feeling" against the plans had persuaded him to rethink.

Read the full article here.

Here it is

Maybe the power of protest is not dead.

Some things change for the better

I have been a customer with Orange for a number of years, almost since Mobile phones begun.

Up till recently, to get through to customer services entailed spending ages listening to crap music, and "we value your custom" messages every minute or so.

At the end of January I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by a very respectful customer services rep and advised that I was overdue for a replacement phone. What really staggered me is he also advised that I was paying too much and would I like to change to a less expensive tarriff? Well you could blow me down with a feather, my gast was most definitely flabbered.

Was this a one off? No. this evening when opening my phone, (It's a slide phone), bummer, the display was corrupted. Anyway I phoned customer services not expecting stirling service again, only to find that within less than five minutes it had been arranged to send me a new phone by courier, to arrive by tommorrow morning.

I think it shows that with the recession, companies are having to value their customers at long last.
Well done Orange.

Oh dear

Today I'm entitled to a free bus pass.

Now I feel old.

They can't have this right?

I'm so fucked I think. Or am I?

If this prediction is correct in the link above, then I've missed nearly all, or the whole of the nulabour fiasco. Hurrah.

PS Don't click on the links on that site as they are from the usual "You are doomed if you don't change your lifestyle" TWATS

Gordon has given away a sliver of my early life

Gordon went to Washington bearing gifts. I read that one of them was a pen holder made from the timber of HMS Gannet, a sloop of war. What readers will not know is that this scribe spent three years of his formative youth onboard that mighty vessel. This vessel was used for some years as an accomodation ship for the school known as the "Training ship Mercury". The three years of hell I spent there in the early sixties surely entitles me to that pencil case. I want it back.

Slavery British style

FSA

Maybe I'm naive. If the FSA has made such a cockup in regulation of the banks, should it not be wound up? Why does it still exist having proven how inept it was? can someone give me a reason why it still exists?

Whisky galore

I see that the Scottish parliament want to raise the price of booze to prevent too much drinking. They might as well piss into the wind as most drink loving Scots that I know, will grin and bear it, and carry on. Why are they going to punish the whole population for the fault of the few?
Once they've as always tested it out on the Scots (remember they had the smoking ban first), then it'll be the turn of the English and the Welsh.

They might do well to remember that there will be an election and would do well to bear that in mind before they get carried away in their own self importance.

As someone else has bagged the franchise rights to start up an alcohol superstore in Berwick-on Tweed, I'm requistioning the right to set up in Gretna.

When are we going to be rid of this sanctimonious drivel? The Brown Broadcasting Company ran it as their top story this evening. We will need a dram or two to get through the next few years.

Sorry about the vid.
