Two years since a blog entry but it seems to be the only part of the site I can still access. Not too sure what is going on but I sure as hell would like to find out. Ten years of my life is in this place! I can't access my webspace to pull off the pictures and other stuff I have there, even though my login clearly works somewhere as otherwise I would not be able to get into this part of it! Some of the blogs and the archive are a testament to those who put work in to make it was it was. Some of those people are no longer with us and it would be a real shame if this site just disappeared, along with the memories of those no longer with us. If anyone knows anything about what is going on then please feel free to post a reply! I thank you!

Well, hello again. Have to say not much rounding up to be done. Firstly, I've been far too busy and important to read newspapers, and secondly I'm so wound up by David Cameron's smug countenence that its hard to find much humour in anything much.
There was an absolutely horrific car crash reported in the news a few days ago. Some guy killed whilst being pursued by the police. The police were unable to provide details as to the circumstances of the crash that resulted in the death of a young man. However, they were able to reassure the public that the police car was undamaged. So that's all right then.
In other news I see that a teacher is currently on trial for GBH after fracturing the skull of some 14 year old boy in his class. I honestly don't know what the world is coming too, whereby a hard working, dedicated teacher can be on trial for his very liberty, just for picking up a 6lb dumbell and bludging a child with it. It's health and safety gone mad. Joking apart, clearly this is over the top behaviour. However, I can't help wondering what kind of little bastards this teacher was being expected to deal with that resulted in such a breakdown. It would appear, from the details available, that this child was an absolute shit to teach - and I lay the blame fairly and squarely at the door of his parents and a weak society that has allowed all the authority schools once had to be taken away. These little cunts will be paying my pension one day. Its a sobering thought.
Anyway, the last debate was a bit of a come down. A bit disappointed by the lack of detail shown by any of the parties when it came to explaining how they would actually get the defecit down. Its all very confusing - especially since they now talk of two defecits, structural and cumulative. And I'm sick to death of Gordon "Double Dip Recession" Brown mentioning it in every second sentence. Its one of those phrases that have been bandied about so much lately, and similar to those things you used to hear at school and agree with knowingly, not having the guts to admit that you didn't know what it meant. Double Dipping to me means sticking some celery in the humous and licking it off before sticking the same bit of celery back in the humous. Surely it can't mean that? OR COULD IT? I think we should be told.
Clegg's support actually looks pretty solid and I really would like to see him surprise everyone and have his party win. He does seem like a breath of fresh air and I think the country could do with that. I also think he has the biggest wanger and in a toss up (pardon the pun) between him and Gordon I think he would win. Its probably not the best way to vote for a politial party, but its not the worst way by a long chalk. In any case, I only ever employ this tactic on extremely rare occasions when I am torn between two parties. And the last time was way back when I voted for Thatcher. She always seemed to have a much bigger cock than Neil Kinnock. Besides, he was a ginger.
If for no other reason I would like to see Clegg come out on top (again pardon the pun) because of the truly shocking hatchet job the Telegraph did on him at the beginning of last week. A totally shameless piece and an example of grubby journalism at its best. Its a sign of how worried the establishment are that they roll out the big guns at the first sniff of anything that upsets the status quo. Mind you, the effects of this were somewhat offset by the truly abysmal performance of that addled Hack For Hire Anne Leslie's appearance on Question Time last Thursday. She really was unprepared and looked like she had based all her answers on that mornings Metro. Silly old cow.
The Guardian had a very obvious article in their weekend magazine last week. They had interviewed loads of politicians asking them about their favourite films, books etc. All very tedious. Everyone had these "choices" which you could just see had been given to them by their advisors to trot out. Not one Jackie Collins or Carry On Film amongst them. It got even worse when they were asked who was the living person they most admire. Every single one of them said Nelson Mandella. Now, I'm not saying he is not someone to be admired. But you would think statistically, out of the 60 odd they interviewed at least one of them might have said Jordan. Lembit Opik at the very least. But no. Nelson Mandella it was.
Currently we are searching for a cat to replace our Sammy. We're looking through the available Adoption Agency sites for poor abandoned kitties. Its not easy. We want all of them! Its a case where more choice is definitely less! Currently in the running is a 12 year old cat called George with some medical issues and a few others. I'll keep you posted.
And that's about it. I'm enjoying the Goldmann Sachs debacle at the moment but shall wait and see how things develop before commenting. Suffice to say I have been inspired to put my house on the market at an incredibly reasonable price and am currently inviting sealed bids. I don't actually have a house to sell, but that's apparently the risk you take. Anyway, send all your cheques to me at the usual address.
I leave you with a link to the best facebook site ever. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Been a bit of a bad week when it comes to finding silly stories to rip the piss out of. I suppose the election has something to do with it. Was massively impressed that the first debate got over 10 million viewers. That's fabulous for a political programme and, I am sure, probably the best ever figures for such a debate. I see that cunt Piers Morgan is gloating about Britain's Got talent getting more viewers. Well, that just shows what a facile turd he is. Compare the raw debate of the issues with its 10 million+ viewers with his interviews with the great and the good (Gordon Brown, Jordan, etc) and I think you will see where his cynicism lies. Piers is a dish best served......well not served at all really. But, if we have to endure his smug countenance, let it be sandwiched between a dog juggling a spoon and Amanda Holden trying out her latest Croydon Facelift, or something. I was in Central Park a few years ago and he was there amongst the "celebrities" charging $20 for a horse drawn cab ride in the name of charity - or "getting my name out there", as I suspect it more accurately could be described. I was there for an hour and he didn't get a single offer. Although many people asked who he was, when they found out, they decided to keep their money. Children died that day because of him ....possibly. I enclose a picture of his glum, lard stuffed face for your delectation. feel free to abuse and degrade the image for which I guarantee I own the copyright.
Talking of the debates though I am really looking forward to the one tomorrow. Clegg did incredibly well in the first debate, but expectations were low. It will be good to see how he handles himself in the second one. Because, if he does well this time then I think Britain is in for the biggest political upset since, well I can't even remember. I'm not really a hedging person, but I think the clever money is on him to win outright. With an each way bet on Cameron and Brown disappearing up their own backsides, and a hundred to one shot for a nation of deluded tories voting for Thatcher chucking her hat into the ring - if she can find it.
I see the blame game has started early with the post fly ban analysis. A bit pathetic really. It appears that this cloud was lingering at 20-30 thousand feet. So, why could an accomodation not be made for planes to use military and light aircraft designated airspace at lower levels to fly to at least pick people up? Because the airlines would have had to use more heavily discounted fuel that way. It COULD have been possible. Nobody has asked if the Air Force were still maintaining their AWACS presence over Europe. I bet they were. All seems a bit fishy to me. And that useless Brown just keeps saying "We have two more ships on standby in case they are needed". Well, Duh! They are fucking needed, since people are now more stuck than they were the first time you said you had these ships on standby in case they were needed. You just don't want to fork out now your weird eyebrowed chancellor has put the cost of fuel up. All it would have taken was a bit of wherewithall to make it happen. You pick up the phone, find out which private companies have spare buses lying around, you ship them over to Europe on one of those expensive transport carriers we have all paid for and which never get used, and you arrange strategic pick up points to collect these people and you get them to the ships. Easy, relatively cheap, and a fucking vote winner to rival Thatcher's Falklands. How great would that have been to appear on the debate tomorrow having put that in place? If John Snow's son can collar a pile of glorified rubber dingies and sail over to Calias to collect as many people as he can, surely to God, our Prime Minister could come up with something at least as good. I swear to God, the man is an idiot. Alistair Campbell is clearly in the twilight of his years to have missed that one. If, by some remote chance, Labour Execs are reading this drivel, please be on notice that my fee is a mere £100k per year for this priceless advice. I'll forsake the lovely car, having no driving licence to speak of.
I met up with the friend I have known the longest tonight. I've known him for 22 years - more than half of my life (although not his!). Was a terrific time, but although we had 5 hours to chat, it was nowhere near enough. Friends are important and we should all see ours more, I reckon. We spent the evening drinking and dining (despite the lack of cutlery). I get very annoyed with these new restaurants that think it is ok to charge you extra for those riddiculous fripperies such as vegetables and potatoes that, 20 years ago, you could reasonably expect to have served with your meal. Snobby, money grabbing fuckers. I don't mind paying £18.95p for a seabass. I do fucking mind paying an extra £3.00p for some cold green beans. AND my Seabass was upside down. In my day fish was served flesh up. I don't want to pay £18.95p for a a big plate with a small piece of fish, skin side up, staring up at me, saying "Can you see my bottom?". On pointing this out it was suggested that it is because they feel I would like to remove the skin myself? Perhaps they would like me to go into the kitchen and cook the fucking thing myself as well? If you follow that train of thought to its logical conclusion, perhaps I would enjoy going to the service counter and collecting my own bucket of water with which to flush away my ablutions when I go for a piss? They could even charge me £3 for the bucket. Actually, forget all that, I'll just go to Waitrose, buy the fucking fish, cook it myself and just send them a cheque. They can then stick that cheque up their smug superior bottoms. The wine was nice though. Tempranillio of some distinct vintage.
I'm off work for the next two days and looking forward to having a lovely potter, mowing the lawn, replacing plug sockets and yelling at Vanessa Feltz, when she does that smug promo for her sad radio show on breakfast tv, whilst trying hard to keep her capacious backside on the largest chair they could find for her. I hate that inane woman more than words can express.
Anyway, its been lovely ranting at you all! Could I just say that if a few of you could just get Google accounts, never to use them again, you could actually comment on my posts and, perhaps, even dare to disagree with me! My other blog link is right here
Huggles.
