What a week it’s been in politics.

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Wasn’t it Harold Wilson who said “a week in politics is a long time”?  And I have to say, it’s the most interested I’ve ever been in politics. I’ve been watching the various special elections news shows Friday and yesterday, although I’m growing a little bored with all the  predictions. I do find it very [...]

Who else held their head in their hands this morning…

….after listening to Gordon Brown’s blunder? I can’t imagine he was the only one. Apparently it’s made world-wide news but if you haven’t heard already, our Prime Minister Gordon Brown, with an election just a week away, has made a bit of a gaffe, to put it mildly. I think his people skills need a [...]

At the risk of getting political on you all…

I just wanted to mark the occassion, in my own way, of 20 years since the release of Nelson Mandela. I still remember the day. 91 years young and still sharp as a tack.

Is it a full moon this week??

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Because there are some odd things happening in the news these past few days. Earlier on in the week I read about the person who was fired from their job at McDonald’s somewhere in Holland, for giving their colleague an extra slice of cheese in their hamburger. Thank god the courts saw sense. Then this [...]

Greed is the word, is the word, is the word….

I can’t let the week pass without mentioning what’s been in the headlines all week, MPs and their expenses. I can’t help but have a giggle at their expense. The government and the two major parties must’ve been squirming in their comfy pads and second homes this past week as revelation after revelation of what [...]

“We’ve boobed.”

“Very clever, Mr. Rose,” said in my best Dr. No voice. Marks and Spencer, one of the biggest and well-loved retailers in the UK if you’re outside of it, has agreed to do away with the surcharge on bigger bras over a DD cup, which would benefit me as I’m a G cup and I [...]

Do you think I could get away with the same?

Man shoots his wife accidently in the foot. It gives me an idea. Next time we go for a ramble, I’ll take my partner out into the woods, shoot him in the foot and swear blind it was an accident and that it was nothing to do with the fact that he forgot to buy [...]

You couldn’t make it up.

Headline taken from the BBC London website this morning: Naked Ramblers told to cover up.

I can’t let this weekend pass without mentioning the 13yr old dad.

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

A 13yr old boy made headlines this past Friday for having a baby with a 15yr old girl, Chantelle. You want to know what the funniest thing is? His voice hasn’t even broken yet. Actually, the funniest thing is the poor looks about 8 and is only about 4ft tall. Well, not funny really. Just [...]

Here’s one for Valentine’s Day. Or maybe not.
