Yup, my wife found this nine page document from Cheshire East Council yesterday. Yes nine pages of A4 on waste reduction and guess what? This is the second one they sent out. So that’s 18 pages of A4 for the bonfire.
Let’s take a look…
Q1. Who is responsible for sorting/putting out the rubbish in your [...]

Waste Reduction Survey 2010
Plane Sense
Only 7% of flyers are funding green energy projects to offset the carbon emitted on their flights, according to a survey.
A study of passengers at Stansted airport revealed that 93% of those questioned did not offset their flights. Ignorance cannot be blamed: 56% of those questioned by the Civil Aviation Authority knew what the practice [...]
This is Beyond a smoke.
I have a dose of ‘flu so I can’t be bothered to comment further. I am also so outraged I might be tempted to say very bad things indeed. Phrases like “ought to be spayed like a bitch” might even be used.
Just read it.

Let’s trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle…
…or alternatively translated as Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle, was part of a North Korean government propaganda campaign promulgating grooming and dress standards.
It was broadcast on state-run Korean Central Television in the capital of Pyongyang. The television program claimed that hair length can affect human intelligence, in part because of [...]
Chuckles yet again!
Prince of Wales to tour the country to promote ’sustainable living’
The Prince of Wales is to embark on a tour of the country to meet the guerrilla gardeners [?], ethical fashion designers [whatever!] and eco-conscious pensioners [Jesus sodding-well wept] doing their bit to tackle climate change [or the peasantry as they used to be known].
“Doing [...]
Soviet Contraception
I think one of the biggest lies that “the left” get away with is that folks on “the right” are sexually retarded. Well I’m neither on “the right” (however that is defined) or sexually repressed. Me, three goats and a crate of Buckfast and it’s par-tay time!
My point here is a blow to Shelob’s soft [...]
Food Fascism
Restaurants, cafes and pubs could be forced to list the calories in every item on their menu under Government plans to tackle obesity*.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley wants the public to be made aware of exactly what they are eating in the hope that they will chose healthier dishes.
Presumably that will turn into an “or else” [...]
Taliban
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes this in the Daily Mail…
… and I agree with it!
Time to head for the hills with a technical and a shot-gun and phone that Mormon fellow I used to know on the subject of canned goods! Actually best not do that - he’d only say, “Told you so!”. Just ram-raid Tesco [...]
Shoddy Absurdity
Saudi Arabia’s telecom regulator has ordered mobile operators to halt BlackBerry services from August 6.
The Saudi state news agency SPA in a report on Tuesday said that the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) asked “Saudi Telecom Co, Mobily and Zain Saudi Arabia to immediately stop the BlackBerry service in the country starting Friday.
SPA said [...]
Dines Opines
I’ve just read a piece on CiF by Julie Bindel about Gail Dines.
Gail Dines is apparently now the Worlds #1 “Anti-Pornography Campaigner” (whatever the #1 there means) and “highly regarded academic”. Anyway for the most part it is conjecture and nonsense of the sort that has been trodden into the ground so many times [...]
Oh the hubris!
J I Rodale was pretty much the founding father of the organic food movement.
Rodale had an interest in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle that emphasized organically grown foods, inspired by his encounter with the ideas of Albert Howard.
He founded Rodale, Inc. in 1930 in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. He was the founder of Rodale Press [...]
The Bansturbatory Round-Up
AKA - “The Circle Jerk”
There’s a few…
Drinking alcohol on all public transport - including cross channel ferries!
Sugar in hospitals - just Wales so far but recall the smoking ban started in Scotland?
Selling half a dozen eggs.
Drinking games.
Smoking in cars with children and “potential” play grounds.
Photography.
Sunbeds - because some slag was stupid. Note [...]
A NICE drink
This should be unbelievable.
All patients are to face extensive questioning from doctors about their alcohol consumption under new efforts to tackle the country’s problem drinking culture.
“Problem drinking culture”. That reminds me of the former USAF pilot in Airplane who has a “drinking problem”. I assume you’ve seen the movie. Anyway for the [...]
Jeremy Irons Is A Complete Arsehole.
The world is becoming so overpopulated that nature will one day wreak its revenge, claims Jeremy Irons, the actor.
The crap actor. I only saw one movie with him I liked and he got chinned in that one by Bruce Willis - as it ought to be. Anyway, he’s entirely replaceable with Alan Rickman for being [...]
Instructions
Had to go to Sainsburys today. Get stuff for a BBQ and also a new microwave. Well, on the way in they’ve erected new “road safety” signs. The quantity of signage on Britain’s roads and the ever varying speed limits surely cause accidents by being a constant distraction from, you know, the road and other [...]
