Don’t add up

You watch the weather forecast and there are these huge blue areas of rain sweeping across the country when it gets to today. But when you wake up, the Sun is shining.
    Okay, there’s a vicious wind blowing to make everywhere frigid, but we’re not getting wet as well as chilled to the bone.

Just clottish

Don’t you just hate it when Great! TV gets the title of an episode of The Avengers and the cast list right, but adds the wrong plot summary? One involving Emma Peel instead of the present incumbent, Tara King.
    And not just once. Night after night after night.

It’s only our money

No doubt the trade union bloke is all in favour of handing China, a major economy that dwarfs ours, over £8 MILLION out of the overseas aid budget. Sheesh!

Pots & Kettles, come away, come away!

A trade union leader takes a pop at Mandelson for opposing Labour’s plans to let trade unions run riot and accused old Mandelson of thinking of his personal financial interests.
    But what is a union bloke doing if he’s in favour of making his members unsackable and unions having the right to hold the country to ransom?
    Looking after his personal financial interest?
    Which leaves me wondering if the union bloke is too thick to see that his argument is spurious, or cynical enough to assume no one will notice.

More uselessness

 50% of parents don’t think it’s their job to toilet-train their kids(!) a charity has found. Resulting in a call for a ban on kids in a nappy being allowed to go to a school.
    The Age of Ignorance marches on.

What myth?

I watched the Timewatch repeat on BBC 4 of The Houdini Myth and ended up wondering what this famous myth was.
    If it was the assertion at the end that lots of people think Houdini is as imaginary as Sherlock Holmes, that’s nothing to do with a myth.
    That’s clear evidence that we’re sinking into a pathetic Age of Ignorance.

Good Question

People are asking what the Labour party has been doing for the past 14 years in Opposition if it doesn’t have any policies to offer right now with a general election looming.
    The obvious answer is the usual – grabbing cash off the taxpayer and giving nothing in return.
