Richard Symonds has been having a moan about a suggestion that some new houses might have indicators installed which tell the inhabitants when the next bus is due outside. I can't help thinking that if a certain house in Bewbush had such a gadget back in October 2005 it might have looked something like this… […]

Satay

I had chicken satay in the canteen at work (oops. Sorry. They like to call it a "staff restaurant"). I am pretty sure that satay is not supposed to be bright yellow…

Bird flu in Sussex?
February 26th, 2007 · Comments Off on Bird flu in Sussex? · Life
The good news is that there isn’t any. I know that some people see a denial as sign of a cover-up, but in this case its because the whole thing was made up. If anyone tells you about a BBC story saying that there have been 15 deaths from bird flu, it is because they […]

Stallone in good film. Really.
February 24th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Life
This evening I watched what is probably the best film Sylvester Stallone has been in for the last ten years. Not Rocky Balboa: I haven’t seen that. I haven’t even seen the first 5 yet. It is a film from 2003 which I didn’t even know existed until I saw it in the three-for-twenty-quid racks […]
Small World

The kids are going paintballing tomorrow. It is at a place closer to home than where we normally go in Westerham, but I don’t have a clue where it is (the instructions have been lost in the post). But thats not a problem because I have Google… I knew the place was at Gatwick/Salfords so […]

Happy Birthday
February 23rd, 2007 · Comments Off on Happy Birthday · Politics
It was Chrystal’s 15th birthday today, and I’m afraid it could have been better for her. Instead of spoiling her in the evening, Jayne, Charlie and I had to go to our local branch AGM so Chrystal just went to Army Cadets as normal. But looking on the bright side, the AGM was a bit […]

Why I am happy with my council tax…
February 23rd, 2007 · 6 Comments · Politics
…well, sort of. As with all types of taxation, it depends on how you look at it. I am one of the fortunate people who does not actually get much back for my tax. Being gainfully employed and generously rewarded I am not in need of many of the services offered as safety nets. Some […]

Solidarity?
February 22nd, 2007 · 4 Comments · Politics
I wanted to write something about this new BNP trade union, Solidarity – having seen it mentioned by Tom Watson, Mike Ion and others, but i was just too slow. It turns out that johninnit has said just about everything I could want to say about it already. He points out that anyone joining Solidarity […]

Council Tax day
February 22nd, 2007 · 2 Comments · Politics
I think the council were meeting today to decide on the level of council tax for this year. I don't know what happened. I don't even know what the Labour group intended to do about the Tory proposal to increase the borough part of the tax by 2% My guess – and I realise its […]

Facts Correct. Full Stop.
February 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Politics
Richard’s comment on a previous post relates to a letter in today’s Crawley News, which I have now read, and it puts me in a bit of a fisking mood… and none of the following will be of the remotest interest to anyone outside Crawley, but never mind. The background is that the newspaper two […]
