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 [...]

Cop Scotch
Engineering the behaviour of our children continues apace. Traditional playground games like Cops and Robbers are to be considered an unwanted anachronism because they might “promote violence”.
A primary school has come under fire after banning its pupils from playing cops and robbers or any playground game which involves ‘imaginary weapons’

Windy Miller - Irish edition - it’s like a Leprechaun rotisserie!
UK and Irish ministers will today sign an agreement that could see some of the world’s largest wind turbines built across the Irish midlands.
Stretching more than 600 feet (180 metres) in the air, the towers are set to generate energy for millions of UK homes from 2017.
The companies involved say the Irish power is a [...]
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 [...]
Diane Abbott partly to blame for breakdown in joined-up thinking.
She’s at it again! Diane Abbott flaps her gums and spews weapons grade bollocks. According to the headline she reckons that broken families, obesity and alcoholism are partly down to people like…erm…herself.
Scratches head. That can’t be right, can it?
Oh, wait, this is what she said…
Ms Abbott, the shadow public health minister, urged the left to [...]
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 [...]
If you go down to the park today…
…prepare for a nasty surprise.
Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre authorities obviously don’t believe they have enough authority so they are maneouvring to grab a little more power for themselves. They are proposing to ban smoking in parks and other public open spaces and people can now be cautioned or fined for not having a plastic bag.
First [...]
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 [...]
The Sheep Sheep Song
Smoking during pregnancy is a controversial issue that gets anti-smoking puritans frothing at the mouth. In Blackpool they are taking a proactive stance by screening mothers-to-be for carbon monoxide in their blood. I’ll let Emma Harris of the Evening Gazette take up the narrative.
WOMEN are now being screened for signs of a deadly [...]

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 [...]
They will never be sated
I have nothing to add, we all know it’s true.

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 [...]
A classical education is clearly not required by the Met.*
While London looks increasingly like a city under martial law it is nice to see the Met still have time for pursuing nonsenses as well as going round looking like characters from some post-apocalyptic FPS game…
There were no complaints from the public when a Mayfair gallery exhibited a dramatic modern rendering of the ancient Greek [...]
