Oh well. Boredom has set in.

Another health puritan

My bloody dentist.

All he seems able to do is bang on about me giving up smoking. last thing I knew dentists were not doctors, so why is he banging on about it?

 

Has their been some incentive given to dentists to coerce their patients to give up smoking?

Smoking remains the largest single preventable cause of death and disability in the UK and costs the NHS £1.7 billion each year.¹ More than 120,000 people die prematurely due to smoking related diseases. Worldwide smoking is the single most important public health problem. The detrimental effects of smoking and tobacco use on oral health are well recognised. Oral cancers and pre-cancers, periodontal diseases and poor wound healing are the most significant and serious effects of smoking on the mouth.^{2, 3} In addition, staining of the teeth, soft tissue changes and halitosis are aesthetic and social impacts of smoking directly related to oral health.

No, but they are subjected to the same brain washing as other health service “professionals”. The paragraph above is from the British dental journal.

I wouldn’t mind so much if I was getting treatment under the NHS. However I have been forced to go private due to the dearth of NHS funded dentists in my area. Therefore he can shut the fuck up in future, otherwise I shall take my money elsewhere.

And what the fuck is:

Background Smoking is correlated with a large number of oral conditions such as tooth staining and bad breath.

Spooky

I had a text message from Orange stating that my new phone will be arriving between 13.06 and 14.06 today.

I’ve just received an Email from another company that is delivering my new TV stand. What time have they given? You’ve guessed it. 13.06 to 14.06.

And it is Friday the 13th. Coincidence?

Mesmerising

Well it made a good story.

Way to go girl.

This is the way to resign from your Office job.

Just pop over HERE to see the whole sequence, including how to demolish your boss’s credibility with a whiteboard.

Well done Piers.

Piers Corbyn being aggressively interviewed by a British interviewer on Russian TV. Piers is having nothing to do with the assertion that the fires in Russia are caused by Climate Change.

“The climate has always been changing, but it has nothing to do with man,” Corbyn told RT. “In fact we predicted that there will be extreme heat in Russia and eastern Europe. It's caused by circulation patterns, caused by a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon.”

For some reason I couldn’t embed the clip.

It’s sprung a leak.

This time it is a leaked letter from the Director general of finance at the Ministry of Justice.

About 15,000 jobs are at risk as the Ministry of Justice slashes £2 billion from its £9 billion budget, a union has warned.

About time to.Do they really need 80,000 staff to fulfill their duties? We managed with far less in the past.

Of course the unions have seized on this and are predicting an army of criminals will be let loose and the courts will be closed.

In fact they may well be getting off lightly, as the figure is at the low end of the cuts needed in the governments attempt to slash spending.

Read the rest HERE.

Expect more leaks as the bloated Civil Service, finally realise that they are going to have to emerge into the real world.

I shouldn’t. But what the heck

Maybe I shouldn’t take the piss out of global warming alarmists. But….

My Wanker of the week.

Andy Giannasi, the member of ACPO who has been designated the 'lead' in road's policing has decried the wind down of 'Safety' Cameras.

However.

Figures made available by SafeSpeed show an impressive 35% decrease in deaths from 1978 to 1988. The spiraling number of deaths continued to decrease during the pre speed camera years until cameras were introduced in the early to mid 1990's. In fact, since the mid 1990's the number of deaths has stayed about the same which is proof, over a 10 year period, that speed cameras do not save lives. If planting 5000 cameras on the streets and issuing over 7 million fines since 1992 really worked then we would have seen the number of road deaths continue to fall, but they've just stayed the same. The question is, why haven't fatalities continued to decrease since cameras were introduced?

Comment: The finger of blame is clearly pointing at the cameras and those who support them. If it weren't for advances in vehicle safety design and medical treatment then casualties would have increased considerably since cameras were introduced.

Less than 4% of accidents are caused by exceeding the speed limit according to new data (page 41) published by the Department of Transport. This destroys the government's claim that 1/3 of accidents are speed related. The facts publicised by Safespeed shows the breakdown of the causes of accidents from 13 police forces from 2001:

Cause of Accident
% of Accidents

Inattention:
25.8%

Failure to judge other person's path or speed:
22.6%

Looked but did not see:
19.7%

Behaviour: careless/thoughtless/reckless:
18.4%

Failed to look:
16.3%

Lack of judgment of own path:
13.7%

Excessive speed:
12.5%

Utter Tosh from this ACPO indoctrinated Tosser. It would be a lot safer to have more traffic police on our roads to catch those who are under the influence of drink/drugs, driving badly, no licence, no insurance, driving badly maintained cars, etc.

Note: Then again it would be even better if we had any type of Policeman on our streets.
