Thanks for (less than) nothing!*

If I were a member of Parliament (which I never will - I’ve got too much integrity) I would be worried today.

The people whose duty it is to protect the lives of our illustrious (sarcasm - it’s the lowest form of wit) leaders are only worth a 2.5% pay rise.

They can’t be that good then, can they?

Cancellation

November 27, 2007

Amy Whinehouse (spot the deliberate typo - it’s more polite than Shitehouse) has cancelled all of her concerts for the rest of the year.

 Perhaps when she comes back, she’ll have learned how to sing?


Prison officers need to be nicer.

It’s this kind of cobblers that has prompted my return to the blogosphere.

It defies logic - but since when has logic had any place in the Criminal Justice system?

Shame-Facedbook

A West Mids officer is under investigation for posting pictures of himself on Facebook - whilst dressed in women’s clothes.

I’m guessing that they aren’t particularly bothered by the fact that he was a) in a dress, b) wearing a wig or c) pouting. I think that what really annoys them is that he claimed to be a Chief Superintendent.

We all know that officers who reach this exalted rank have no skeletons in their closets, or sheep of a different shade in their policing family.

Calling yourself a Chief Superintendent when you aren’t one is a sin on the same scale as calling a teddy bear Mohammed.


I’m back!!!

November 22, 2007

I’ve decided to come back - re-launched, re-branded but still the same miserable old git that I was before.

I’ve moved to WordPress, as you will have already figured out. It’s easier to use and I can monitor comments (if there are any) by using the RSS feed. So can you - find the link and save it to your feed reader. See what other people think of me.

 The main reason for my return is the onset of winter. There is nothing on telly - the Coca Cola “holidays are coming” advert has been shown which means it must be at least a month before the 25th of December. It’s too cold and dark to go into the garden. I can’t be arsed to do any decorating or cleaning while Mrs Still is at work, so I need something to fill an hour or two.

What better than to rant on about the stuff that keeps me in food and drink?

I’ll be engaging on a ruthless campaign of self publicity to encourage my co-bloggers to update their sidebar links.

There are no plans for a book.

A TV series is out of the question.

I’ve moved the site over to WordPress and I’m considering a re-launch!
