BNP Algebra

January 16th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Politics

Either Nick Griffin is barking mad or he thinks that one white person is worth about 2272 non-white people.  The two are not mutually exclusive though.

Abandoned and let down by West Sussex county council

December 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life

What am I going to do?  How am I going to learn how to use my mobile phone now?  WSCC went to all the trouble and expense of producing a (presumably) excellent video tutorial on how to make a phone call, but before I get a chance to watch it they take it down! (According [...]

The Circus of unearthly delights

November 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics

Hot on the heels of his utter denial of global warming, Philip Circus has used his column in the West Sussex County Times this week to apply his (sadly not) unique wisdom on housing provision and his conclusion seems to be that we don’t need any.

Gazprom with attitude

July 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life

The  catalogue of brand-naming disasters got a new entry this week, when Russia’s Gazprom entered into a joint venture with Nigeria’s state-run gas company and decided to call the new entity… Nigaz.  What could possibly go wrong?

Jealousy

May 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Politics

Aaron is not happy with Tory MP Anthony Steen…  can’t say I blame him.   Hopefully the sound-player thingy will be embedded below to play the offending/offensive interview.
I still can’t believe it is not a clever piece of satire cooked up by Chris Morris or someone like that.   His argument seems to be that the whole [...]

Work for peanuts

February 12th, 2009 · 35 Comments · Politics

Apparently a group of Tory MPs are gathered in support of Christopher Chope’s 10 minute rule bill to, effectively, abolish the minimum wage.  I find this absolutely breathtaking.  It is wrapped up in some euphemism about ‘increasing employment opportunities’, but it boils down to allowing employers to pay as little as they can get away [...]

Near Misses

February 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Life

I saw these on teh news last night and could hardly believe how stupid/lucky these people were.  A couple of the clips were so unlikely I just had to hunt them down on Youtube.    Unlikely as in: if a Hollywood film featured such a close shave you would think it too close to be realistic.
You [...]

Graham Stringer

January 15th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Politics

The most efficient responses to Graham Stringer’s bizarre outburst about dyslexia would be one word long.  “Idiot” for example.  Other responses could be book-length disections of his remarks.  I’ll seek the middle ground on this one…

You Got That Right

October 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Life

It’s good to see that Match of the Day’s pundit Mark ‘Lawro’ Lawrenson can be as inane in writing as he is on air.  He has a weekly feature on the BBC Sport website where he predicts the results for the week’s Premier League games.   For each game he gives some opinions and says what [...]

Those evil buses

June 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Politics

It looks like I was falling short of 100% accuracy in an earlier post, when I was gobsmacked about the apparent wackiness of a local councillor in blaming the state of the roads on buses.  Now I have seen the e-mails involved it is clear that I was taking two different people’s remarks and ascribing [...]
