Actually I’m sure he doesn’t smoke dope, but sometimes he seems like the only public figure who doesn’t or hasn’t. The spooky thing is that every politician who admits to having a puff says that they didn’t enjoy it at all, some go further and say they were forced or tricked into it. (Interesting declension […]

Injury crisis already?
July 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life
Just over three weeks until the football season starts and West Ham’s new £6.1m player, who signed for the club less than three weeks ago is injured and probably won’t be able to play until February. Another bargain! Its like Dean Ashton all over again.

Plausible fact time
July 19th, 2007 · Comments Off on Plausible fact time · Work
If you went around all the offices in the UK and collected every ream of photocopying paper which is sitting underneath a computer monitor to raise it up 5 centimetres you could build a stack of paper which would reach three-quarters of the way to the moon.
Bins cause rubbish
July 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
A theory put forward by the Amenities chap at last night’s Broadfield Forum is that most of our litter and rubbish is caused not by a shortage of available litter bins but by the presence of those that we already have. This is why those bins which were removed during the Queen’s visit for security […]
Miserable gits
July 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life
One of the least pleasurable aspects of the Broadfield Forum is the poisonous presence of a couple of miserable old gits who never miss a meeting. I am sure they are the only people who have never missed a single one. I am not naming names. Anyone who has ever been will know exactly who […]

Tollgate Express
July 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
At last night’s Broadfield Forum there were some concerns raised about the new shop (Tollgate Express) which is to open in Mann Close very soon. Some residents from that estate who are experiencing some nasty-sounding anti-social behaviour from groups of abusive youngsters there are worried that the shop may encourage them to hang around, and […]

Amicus Goodies
July 18th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Work
The Amicus people were visiting work today and set up a stall in the canteen. After lunch I thought I would go over and say hello on my way out and introduce myself as a new-ish member. I came away with a very useful satchel (handy for when my current man-bag wears out), a health […]

Prince 4 No. 1?
July 17th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Music
The Mail on Sunday are running a campaign to have the Prince album Planet Earth declared the number one album. Is there any merit to this campaign? No. Well, that's the short answer. And remember the question is not whether it deserves to be number one (The answer to that is No as well – […]

Boris 4 London?
July 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
Reasons why I won’t be voting for Boris: 1. I don’t live in London That makes any other reasons superfluous, but even if I did live there I wouldn’t vote for Boris if he was the only candidate. What does he know or care about London? The best you can say for him is that […]
Sex in the back garden…
July 16th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Life
I have not been getting out and about with my camera much lately – but I hardly need to: its like a safari in the back garden. Having exhausted the possibilities of snail photography, and slugs and spiders, and snapping the flying ant invasion its now the turn of the unidentified red bugs who were […]
