4-4-2 OK

June 10th, 2006 · Comments Off on 4-4-2 OK · Music

This video is even more topical after today’s unfortunate experience with 4-4-1-1 (What was Sven playing at? Between his substitutions and the Mexican ref’s bizarre decisions we were lucky to get a result.) What I want to know is why I can’t just post the code from YouTube to embed the video on here… it […]

This is what happens when you let the school bus contract go to the lowest bidder…

Cemetary

May 10th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Life

Is this page the funniest report of a photographic visit to a cemetary or what? Nice photos too. A sample: Working class kiddy graves are particularly poignant, partly because of the sadness of untimely death but mostly because they are frequently adorned with toys and keepsakes left by a grieving family; teddy bears, model cars, […]

It makes a change

April 30th, 2006 · Comments Off on It makes a change · Life

I get a bit tired of all those jokes which are circulated by email and SMS. The ones which are funny tend to be old ones. So it makes a change to hear one that actually made me laugh. I am assuming that it is an old one I had not heard before, but even […]

Voodoo

February 14th, 2006 · Comments Off on Voodoo · Life

Its a bit naff repeating jokes made on TV, but the comment on Mock The Week the other day is still tickling me. With acupuncture you stick pins in yourself to make you feel better. With voodoo, on the other hand, you stick pins into something that looks like someone else to make them feel […]

London Riot Re-enactment Society

February 9th, 2006 · Comments Off on London Riot Re-enactment Society · Politics

I came across the London Riot Re-enactment Society web page quite a while ago, bookmarked it and forgot all about it. Looking through my bookmarks today I re-discovered it. Unfortunately it can only be a bit of satirical fun, but you have to smile at the thought of a crowd of enthusiasts doing Sealed Knot […]

…and then they voted

January 29th, 2006 · Comments Off on …and then they voted · Politics

Here is a nifty game to play. It is worth keeping an eye on the Dilbert Blog just for observations like this one: You know the old joke about the dog that chases cars – “What would he do if he caught one?” I was reminded of that when I read that Hamas won an […]

Briefcase full of greens

January 28th, 2006 · Comments Off on Briefcase full of greens · Life

I left the party yesterday before the birthday boy was given a present from all his work colleagues, but one of them did give me a sneak preview. They had a whip-round and wanted to buy him a DVD player as they know he is after a new one. The trouble is that they knew […]

American government attitude towards West Ham

January 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on American government attitude towards West Ham · Politics

I think I need to get my ears checked out. The news was on the TV, but I was not looking at it, and I heard that the “Hammers victory is causing concern for Washington”. Now I could see why Uriah Rennie not giving a penalty for a blatant foul would cause some concern at […]

Thats more like it!

January 11th, 2006 · Comments Off on Thats more like it! · Politics

Yesterday’s Guardian had a whole page of quotes from Tony Banks, showing that he was, indeed, capable of far wittier comments than the famous “foetus” or “sex-starved boa constrictor” lines. Even the “pig’s bladder on a stick” comment gained a lot by being put in context. In true political style, although he had plenty to […]
