… or as guests at Maggie’s funeral did I honestly see Geoffrey Howe and Michael Heseltine? And I heard that José Manuel Barroso was there. What were that vile trinity planning upon - dancing upon her grave?
At another level, according to the BBC News, some scumbags threw stuff at the horses in the cortege. That [...]

Horror Footie
Full disclosure - I’m a lifelong Newcastle United fan.
Yeah, it’s quite the cross to bear. But this is not partisan. Football is about two things that are not mutually exclusive. It is of course a sport, a game, a pastime… That is my eperience from “jumpers for goal-posts” kick abouts in parks (I was [...]
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 [...]
Total Fucking Barbarians…
From The Guardian…
One of seven Saudis due to be put to death on Tuesday by crucifixion and firing squad for armed robbery, speaking over a smuggled mobile phone from his prison cell, has appealed for help to stop the executions.
Nasser al-Qahtani told Associated Press from Abha general prison on Monday that he was arrested as [...]
The World is Mad!
I just heard Cherie Blair is to be made a CBE for “Services to Charity” and “Women’s Issues”. Now to be fair to Ms Booth she has advanced the position dramatically of at least one woman. Or perhaps she ought to have got it for “Services to Drama” for she (a) owns the world’s largest [...]
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 [...]
The scariest site on the internet…
There are some horrors out there but I don’t mean SAW style torture-porn or even the contents of Jimmy Savile’s hard-disk. Nor do I mean more sophisticated stuff that would make the shades of Edgar Allen Poe and MR James huddle together and cry like girls. The hate-fests of Pyongyang or Tehran? Mayan prophecies, alien [...]
Vote for Gary Johnson.
Here’s a handy cut-out and keep reminder of why whether it is Obama or Romney it matters not the mote in the eye of a weasel.
(Apart from to the assorted vested interests and corporations who have been cosying up to Dumbo or Eeyore).
I don’t think Allen will mind my theft here!
Please don’t vote for [...]
The opposite of camouflage.
Almost all serious warships defend themselves with CIWS guns and missiles and also with chaff and flares. Tanks trundle around firing off smoke to confuse IR seekers. Aircraft also deploy chaff and flares and have done since at least Operation Gomorrah - the RAF’s complete destruction of Hamburg. It was codenamed “Window” at the time. [...]
Jimmy Saville Joke.
I bet Gary Glitter regrets not asking Jim to fix it instead of taking his computer to PC World.
That is a terrible joke, via Sickipedia.
But there is a sub-plot. I fix computers. I don’t care what is on the HD(s). If there is obvious criminality there then expect a call from the dibble. If not [...]
Cats and Dogs.
In my third year as an undergraduate (at Nottingham) I wanted to do an “animal” experiment. I had to figure-up a couple of 10 creds each experiments. The first was to do with oscillations and bra design and “jiggling” (I was very serious and dear me bloody Loughbrough University did do research a couple of [...]
Shafilea Ahmed.
I suspect one of the prime reasons her parents were convicted was that her sister who witnessed the murder testified that Shafilea was suffocated by having a plastic bag stuffed down her throat. It’s not the sort of thing you make-up really. I mean it is unusual.
Mr and Mrs Ahmed both received life sentences [...]
