Defence
Just commented at Subrosa's site. She's just posted that more servicemen have been killed in Afghanistan.
I feel strongly about the lack of equipment that the services get.
All the time the politicians (small p) are using the Defense procurement agency as a tool to safeguard jobs in the party homelands, this is going to continue.
Why are we buying the new Lynx helicopter for double(or more), when we could buy american Blackhawks, now? A tried and tested Helo that can hold more troops and is better armed and protected.
Why have we continued with Eurofighter Typhoon (A cold war throwback), when we could have the american F18, IMO a superior aircraft? At far less cost
I could go on but you know the story, politicians aren't in the real world.
My answer is to send them to Helmand province,all 646 of them, as "The First battalion of the UK despoilers", and see how they whine then.
Hopefully we'll need a lot of Hercs to bring the bodies back.
Then again, that would be a waste of fuel.

Facebook: "Can we have our anti -smoking ban group back please?"
A new group has been started on facebook to re-affirm the public disgust at the blanket ban on smoking in pubs and clubs.
It would be interesting if the owners of facebook actually came out with a statement of why they removed the group in the first place. I wonder who lent on them?
Here is the link. Go on, join, you know you want to.

It's now an equal opportunities profession.
It would appear that begging has moved upmarket in these times, if this story in the Mail is to be believed.
Beggars cant be choosers. Or can they?
Plenty of helpfull hints in the comments on how to spot a well off beggar.
Beggars cant be choosers. Or can they?
The sight of a person in tatty clothes begging on the street is enough to elicit money from many well-meaning passers-by.
But, it was claimed last night, some 'beggars' could be office workers with homes who are topping up their salaries by earning £200 a night from donations.

Watching paint dry. Oops my mistake!
I just hate women. Especially my wife at the moment.
"Can you paint the new fence at the bottom of the garden?"
Off I go down to B&Q and spend 30 mins looking at all the fence paints, of all colours, textures and manufacturers. (maybe we can hold a fence painting olympics).
Anyway I choose Antique pine silk, and rush home to begin this labour of love.
3 hours later I have finished. (It's a long fence at chateau filthy engineer)
The question I'm asking is: Why did she wait till after I'd finished, to tell me she wasn't happy with the colour?

Some pearls of wisdom for today
• Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just bugger off and leave me alone.
• The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tyre.
• It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
• Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
• No one is listening until you fart.
• Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
• Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
• It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a bad example.
• It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
• If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.
• Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile way and you have their shoes.
• If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
• Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
• If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
• If you always tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
• Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windscreen.
• Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
• The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it in your pocket.
• Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
• A closed mouth gathers no foot.
• Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.
• There are two theories about how to argue with a woman. Neither works.
• Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving.
• Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
• Never miss a good chance to shut up.
• We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.
That's enough of the hiliarity for today.

I'm a fattist as well
I've just been reading an article in the Mail and cannot believe the excuses that the overweight peeps in the article used to justify their condition.
It's the downright denial of their condition that worries me, and the attitude that it must be someone else's fault. Someone should tell them in no certain terms that it's their life and they, and only they, are responsible for it.
Maybe they should tax meat pies in the same way as cigarettes? It certainly seems they are overstretching the NHS more than smokers do. (Pun not intended)

'I can't help it', 'I get it from my mother', 'I've got the fat gene', 'you're being cruel', 'what if it was your own family'.
'The Government doesn't do enough,'
'There's nothing for kids to do, that's why they eat all the time,' says Kayleigh. 'We need help. I can't afford to go to something like WeightWatchers. They charge you £1 just to get weighed. A pound is a lot of money to me.'
