I was born in 1973 so Margaret Thatcher was PM for my formaive years.
I very vaguely recall “Sunny Jim” and have no recollection of that fat treachorous oaf Ted Heath or of that deranged buffoon Harold “bloody” Wilson. He thought MI5 were gonna kill him. If only…
So she was my PM. In eleven years [...]

Lord Melvin of the Bouffant
A couple of nights ago Our Beloved Lord of the BBC Round Buffet Table (of the Free Drinkies and Nibbles), Lord Melvin of the Laboratoire Garnier (because he isn’t worth it) was asked about the “bedroom tax” on the early evening “entertainment” creature called “The One Show” on the BBC and he wrinkled his [...]
In a hole in the ground…
…there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted [...]
Lard of the Glen.
Apparently a consignment of lard has washed-up in Scotland.
Storms over the east coast have resulted in several unusual relics from World War II washing up on an Angus beach.
Staff at St Cyrus nature reserve said four large, barrel-shaped pieces of lard have appeared on the shore.
The fat is believed to have escaped from the [...]
Why I despise the Daily Mail.
Hypocrisy is the short answer.
The longer answer is their cutsey-named “Femail” sidebar on their website. It by and large consists of stuff like this. Note the second image where Ms Moss’s nipple is clearly visible. And this from the valiant crusader (that’s all over the front page of the print edition) against online pornography. This [...]
I thought I’d died and gone to Hebburn…
A few days ago I was in the local Co-op buying bleech or some such. Anyhows, they have an area manager in and he is uttering the latest diktat. The woman on the till is astonished, gob-smacked by it. It went like this…
“You have to stock aubergines - tell Terry*.”
“But, but… what do you ever [...]
Damn you for offering us food choice
A visit from SAoT’s matriarch meant that she and Mrs SAoT were watching the Beeboid last night. After the usual ‘the Olympics is great’ type show tediously explaining the finer points of swimming and something about volcanoes, there was this utterly vile North Korean type thing called “the men who made us fat” or something.
There had [...]
For the children…
I’m an IT tech*. I am 38. My wife is 33. I have a cat and he is a minor but a complete innocent (he doesn’t have any bollocks for a start) and certainly no interest in pr0n - or at least not what you or me would regard as pr0n - I dunno about [...]
Rambo V
Sylvester Stallone says, at the age of 65, he is ready to don his jungle gear again and star in Rambo 5.
The actor says he is working on a script that will see the former Vietnam veteran fighting his final battle.
With what? Reality, plausibility, drug lords. Yes, drug lords. He is going to be taking [...]
Earth Day
Today is Earth Day. Woo-hoo! A band called “Cheap Trick” are playing the National Mall in DC. I wonder if their electricity comes from Windy Miller. I seriously fucking doubt it. Cunts. Utter cunts.
We have the concept of crimes against humanity. Green is one. they should all be cast into the same oubliette as [...]
Chicken Little - The Sky has Fallen.
Oh frabjous day!
Chris Huhne is to be charged over his speeding and (more to the point) cockamamie (first chicken joke) attempt to dodge it. For readers not of these Isles. Chris Huhne is a Febrile Demonrat MP, (now ex-) member of the cabinet and held the portfolio for “Energy and Climate Change”. So the speeding [...]
The moral panic that runs and runs…
… and takes on many forms.
I recall as a very small kid there was a moral panic over Space Invaders and that was over thirty years ago. Ever since this panic has periodically risen like a zombie on you didn’t put enough (virtual) ordnance into. Computer games have been blamed for almost everything: addiction and [...]
British Mendacity Association
A man dies and goes to heaven. He keeps on seeing this person walking around wearing a white robe and a stethoscope. So he asks the nearest archangel who it is.
Gabriel replies: “Oh him. That’s God. He thinks he’s a doctor.”
All smoking in cars should be banned across the UK to protect people from second-hand [...]
You can take the skies away from us…
Not only can but already have done.
Passengers will have to pay up to 55 per cent more tax on flights from Monday when the Air Passenger Duty hike comes into effect.
Despite protests from airlines and countries who believe the tax banding system is unfair, the increase will come into effect, potentially pushing the price [...]
The Other Side Of Porn
During a lively debate over at “Liberal” Conspiracy about the purported effects of pornography I went a-websearchin’ and found an interesting short documentary, The Devil And Shelley Lubben.
It was made to address the claims and advocacy of a particular American anti-porn campaigner, Shelley Lubben, who was briefly in the industry in 1994, then found Jesus, [...]
