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?
Smoking in cars with children and “potential” play grounds.
Sunbeds - because some slag was stupid. Note the Daily Fail comments.
Trans fats - whatever they are - salt and saturated fats.
Saying you find breastfeeding, “creepy”. Yes, someone said that saying that, “shouldn’t be allowed” (presumably whilst tripping over her earth-mama duggs).
These bansturbators… It’s gone well beyond political action. They ought to be put on tumbrils and dragged through the streets to the pyre.
I’m moving to Saudi Arabia. I think It’ll be more fun.
I saw the ‘eggs edict’ yesterday and I had to check my calendar to make sure we were in June and not April.
I was going to do a NickRant (TM) myself and then decided there was no point - the whole thing’s beyond parody to begin with.
I pity the hen that lays eggs with a mass that fall outside of government mandated limits.
Trans fats are a real health issue.
In layman’s terms: oils heated past a certain point get chemically changed slightly. The new product, the trans-fat (as opposed to the cis-fat) has the same nine calories per gram as any other fat. However, it also (in most people) will increase serum cholesterol. By some accounts, it has a greater effect than does dietary cholesterol.
Which doesn’t translate to a justification of a ban. Everybody knows that you don’t eat greasy food if you’re trying to be heart-healthy, except apparently the people who are so damn dumb that they need 5-a-day coordinators.
Anyway, time to indulge my inner health-and-safety-guy with gunfire followed by cigars and whiskey.
The evil ones are back to pressing for a blanket 20mph speed limit in all built up areas as well. Apparently it will save the lives of lots of children. I am so pleased that my 35 year 100% safe driving record will be improved.
watching television.
Oh my god Mark, that is utterly ridiculous.
Substitute the word Television for almost any other human activity.
I await the wanking kills study with baited breath!
“If only our Johnny had cut down from four to one hour a day he would still be with us! sob.”
Well, I can understand that sitting watching the World Cup could be hazardous to your health. 90+ minutes of watching that crap, and I’d be ready to gnaw my own leg off in utter boredom.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this sort of thing, but I am.
