Death by overacting? Almost!

Captain James T. Kirk in a very convincing wig appeared in an episode of The Six Million Dollar ManBurning Bright, series 1/17. As a space-zapped astronaut called Josh, he wanted to take Steve Austin and a dolphin into space with him to solve all the mysteries of the universe.
    Ten out of ten for dottiness.

Unsound Fury

As soon as you see the by-election for the seat held by Nadine Dorries described as ‘crucial’, you know the author is a wibbler.
    There will probably be a lunatic protest vote but any outcome will have zero impact on the government’s current Boris majority.

Dregs being dredged

The drama rocking the world is now Kissgate! Isn’t it really good to know that nothing serious is going on if some minor football incident is so vital?

Where will it end?

Strikes by doctors, junior and consultant, have managed to get one million operations cancelled. What are they up to now? Going for the magic two million?

Wednesday 30 August 2023

Some bargain

We’re being told that the Moon lander launched by the Indian government is a bargain price venture. Which means what? That it cost British taxpayers only sixty million quid and we should be pathetically grateful that it wasn’t a lot more?

Next item, please

Do we really want the complete killer nurse Letby saga from her childhood on in endless detail? Aaah, nope.

To the point

Don’t say: “X, formerly known as Twitter.”
Just say: “X-witter.”
    Because that’s what most of it is, wibble & witter.

More TDA

Time for the Trade Descriptions Act again. One of the chocolate offerings in a packet of Cadbury’s Roses is called Golden Barrel. Foul, ref! It’s only half a barrel.

Tuesday 29 August 2023

Shameless

We had a fine example of why they’re called the ludicrous left on the Dan Woottonn show on GBViews last night. One of the panelists complained about the way the NHS is pandering to the rainbow badgers and allowing female spaces to be invaded by men.
    Benjamin, the obligatory lefty, promptly misquoted her and started doing a rant based on his misquotation, not what had actually been said.
    On the BBC, he’d have been allowed to get away with it.

Time-saver

Recording TV films to do a fast-forward through the ads is a good idea. It becomes a great one when you realize you can do it for the long, filler journeys and the boring bits too.
    Especially films in which the dolts fire off millions of rounds of ammo at close range without hitting anyone.

Look out!

Consumer authorities in the US are having to warn the public about fake goods bearing the now iconic Georgia mugshot of President Trump. Democrap spivs see no reason why they shouldn’t make a few bob out of the trumped up charges.

If only

Wouldn’t it be great if LV Insurance dropped that dom-diddy bloke onto a boatload of migrants from a great height as the boat was chugging away from a French beach and gave the lot of them a bath?

Monday 28 August 2023

Only in America

Jessica Fletcher is on the phone to a bloke who deserves to be done in when it happens. The dozy cop declares her to be his ear-witness. How cute is that!

Just to be clear

Does Detective Charlie Hudson of SJPD ever bark up the wrong tree? Not while he has Rex, his canine partner, to do it for him.
    Wow! The last ever episode, Series 5/20, had Jesse shot and zoomed off to hospital.
    Hope it wasn’t the Countess of Chester hospital.

Plastic can be Fantastic

I noticed a plastic storage jar in the kitchen the other day. It’s 6" tall, 4½” in diameter and has a bright red, screw-on cap. The labels detailing the contents are long gone but I think it originally contained sweets of some sort; Keiller comes to mind.
    Once clear, the plastic body has gone yellow with age. And no wonder. There’s a best-before date sticker on the bottom of the container – for the end of August 1994!
    And it’s good for lots more years of service.

Hype to the max

Trade Descriptions Act time. Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is rather a BS jump from the real title of the story that was filmed in 1943, namely The Musgrave Ritual.
    And surprise! Holmes didn’t actually face death.

Sunday 27 August 2023

Aaaah, Nope!

How weird would you have to be to make ice cream out of stale brown bread? A recipe offered in the Daily Disaster the other day.

Very useful

I was pleased to find an acronym to apply to instances of the sort of mistake that is usually blamed on a computer rather than the clots in charge of the system – PICNIC. Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

Easy avoidance

Can we be spared Wag War II? asked the article. Yes, quite easily is the answer. Whenever it’s mentioned, just turn the page and move on.

Valid point

How much longer will advertisers go on billing themselves as the ‘proud sponsor’ of a TV programme given what the vexatious minorities are doing to the word ‘pride’?

Saturday 26 August 2023

One to shun rather than miss

What makes Sky News unwatchable? Having so many anti-white racialist pillocks on the payroll is a powerful disincentive. That and the enduring lefty lunacy.

Bloody Lloyds Bank

I tried to pay some bills yesterday morning and found I couldn’t log on to my bank account. Why? Because the bank had stuck a string of zeros on the front of my user number without telling me and the shorter version wouldn’t work.
    So that was a five-minute job padded out to half an hour, because I had to change the password and the memorable information, and get the change confirmed and authorized by the bank. And I now have to remember the new information and forget the old versions. Bastards!

No bloody joke

Bogus asylum seekers are costing us £4 BILLION this year?
    Time to park them in camps on Dartmoor.

Alarm rate

The telephone credit card fraudsters seem to be upping their game constantly. It used to be about £500, usually for something bought from Amazon, that they were claiming has gone missing. Now, they’re doing multiple items with a total of over a grand!

Friday 25 August 2023

Judgement reserved

Nice to see the government talking about blocking the multi-million pound payout to that Rose woman of NatWest, who grotted all over Nigel Farage. But we’ll wait until it actually happens before doing any cheering.

Afterthought

The Letby murders inquiry needs to be statutory on steroids to prevent the legal profession from dragging it out for a pocket-stuffing decade.

“I’m washing my socks.”

The ‘actress’ who plays the lead in the woke travesty with the Snow White label seems to be a rather Poisoned Poppy. Yet another reason for giving the film a miss.

Omnishambles

It seems obvious that a non-statutory inquiry into the Letby murders would let guilty parties in the hospital’s management refuse to turn up.
    You have to wonder why the government went there instead of straight to a statutory inquiry by someone with no axe to grind and Net Zero NHS connections.

Thursday 24 August 2023

Well aimed!

How convenient it was that the plane containing the bodies of the Wagner chief Prigoshin and his deputy didn’t crash onto anything important.

Great British Triumph!

A lander paid for by our taxpayers has made a controlled soft landing at the south pole of the Moon. Our Indian minions made a better job of it than the Russians, whose lander is in bits thanks to Putin denying them access to Western know-how.

Reward for failure

In the case of the former NatWest boss, Ms Rose, who did the dirty on Nigel Farage’s Coutts account, it’s £2.4 million.

Obfuscation

The lander the Russians sent to the Moon ‘ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon’, the Russian space agency announced. Which means what? That it was kidnapped by aliens from another dimension?
    This is utter tripe. The lander is still there. It’s just in bits rather than a working machine.

Wednesday 23 August 2023

Plus One

Someone else with nothing much to recommend her is that academic who was whingeing because someone told her to get off the grass at Cambridge when she was cavorting and posing for photographs.
    Ms Proudman is a feminazi, she tells us. Which tells us all we need to know.

What a crew

The leader of the opposition is a lawyer with no opinions of his own and his deputy likes to spend the night raving and working her way through a couple of bottles of spirits with a dash of orange juice to make the brew look healthy.
    Not people who are likely to be much good at piloting the ship of state through stormy waters.

Unwelcome trend

The price of diesel at the pumps seems to be static but petrol is creeping up and up relentlessly. It’s only 3p per litre short of parity now. Is it going to overtake diesel? Place your bets.

Show-off!

Boris Johnson, in his Daily Mail column, dived into his dictionary and came up with hoplite – a heavily armed foot-soldier in the fighting forces of ancient Greece and a word familiar to most ex-grammar school pupils.
    Also a word which invites us to wonder if there were ever regiments of hopheavy soldiers who were either totally unstoppable or too laden down to move.

Tuesday 22 August 2023

And an old favourite

The idiots running our Notional Health Service are blaming  colonialism and the British Empire for dividing the population into just two genders, male & female.
    If our ancestors hadn’t gone out and civilized the rest of the world, no one would think twice about 99 genders instead of two.
    And to think people are being paid out of our pockets for coming up with this tosh.

We know why, of course

What’s the cause of all the global insanity? Good old Global Warming. That’s to blame for everything else. And if it turns out to be something in the water, you can be sure that Global Warming will get the blame for putting it there.

Canada has the same problem

A bloke can scoop up all the weight lifting records for women across the pond. Worse, I read somewhere that he’s rated No. 1,600 in the male weight lifting rankings. If you can’t succeed on your own merits, cheat, appears to be okay in Canada.

Too sensible

There are overpaid parasites blowing vast amount of cash on decolonizing here. But any sign of the Romans and the Egyptians and all the others who had an empire doing the same?
    Our problem is that we are too tolerant of self-obsessed nutters.

Monday 21 August 2023

Better luck next time

It was rather astonishing to read that it’s 47 years since the Russians landed something on the Moon. Thanks the Putin the Poisoner, their latest effort was a crash rather than a soft landing at the south pole.
    His insane attack on Ukraine and his obsession with everything military deprived the Russian space agency of access to the Western tech it needed for success.

Right Choice

Watching the Austrian MotoGP event yesterday was definitely the right choice when the alternative was a one-goal football match in Australia with our team losing.

Sedate in comparison

Tyre management was needed to complete the 28 laps of the MotoGP event, so no craziness possible. Bagnaia took the lead with Brad Binder on his tail. All of the racy stuff was well behind the leaders.
    Binder was barely in the same shot as Bagnaia at the end of the race. Bezzecchi was a distant 3rd.

Very puzzling

What’s this obsession with owls all about? The one crossword compilers seem to have developed? It’s getting as bad as the obsession with golf tees and skis.

Sunday 20 August 2023

Another close finish

It was Acosta from Dixon to start the Moto2 race. Lowes & Binder crashed out on lap 3/23. Lopez went at turn 2, Arenas at turn 3, which claimed another victim with 16 to go. It started to look like everyone who finished would get points with all the crashes.
    Acosta lost his big lead to Vietti, who went ahead with 6 laps to go. Ogura was ahead of Dixon. Acosta was on the verge of a long lap, which made him a bit careful and sealed Vietti’s win.

Boneheaded to the max

If the Khan UseLEZ scam won’t trouble many motorist because most vehicles are compliant, why has he blown £120 million on something that won’t raise much cash?
    Typical Labour perversity.
    See a Black Hole, chuck taxpayers’ cash into it.

Closer to home

Apparently, there’s a football match going on somewhere far, far away. There’s also the Austrian MotoGP. Two red bikes took the lead for 20 laps of Moto3 with Holgado in the lead. Masia’s bike croaked after being clobbered.
    Vietti took the lead on lap 9 after being 2nd for ages. Holgado went back ahead on lap 10. Alonso took over and promptly crashed! Sasaki got the lead with 6 to go. Briefly.
    Sasaki on lap 19, back to 3rd behind Öncü, 2nd on the last lap, into the lead, back to 3rd, pass & re-pass on lap 20 until Öncü won ahead of Holgado then Sasaki.
    Best race of the season.

It’s what they do

Should we be surprised that no one would give the recently arrested Bulgarian spies a second glance? Not if not attracting attention is a spy’s Rule No. 1.

Saturday 19 August 2023

Really bash the banksters

A 6-mile round-trip hike to an ATM is a good deal for the ‘vulnerable’?
    In what universe?
    Your nearest main street should be the rule.

One-way street

Is the doctor who was made to write a grovelling letter of apology to just convicted infant-killer Lucy Letby going to get a similarly grovelling apology from the managers who forced him to do it?
    Not a chance in Hell.

Some for us

What’s all this ‘thank you, Parky’ aimed at the late Michael Parkinson, TV performer? Shouldn’t he go to his reward grateful to all the viewers who kept him on their screens for 50-odd years?

Dolts

You have to be really desperate for a whinge if the best you can do it moan about celeb Paris Hilton & family being on holiday in a part of Maui that’s not beset by wildfires.

Friday 18 August 2023

Easy Pick

Walker the Texas Ranger vs American fake-Irish terrorists? What else is on? An old Death In Paradise on Alibi? Okay.
    The curious incident of the dog who didn’t bark in the night recycled rather than something original.

Worth a try

There was a suggestion the other night that our migration and lifeboat services should stop taxiing illegals across the Channel and that any who stagger ashore should be told they’re on their own when they ask for a lift to a hotel.
    That will definitely discourage some of them.

More public sector wibble

The current obsession for diversity is getting the blame for the Magistrates Association ending up with idiots in charge. No more policemen and dustmen and chairmen. Just a flood of weasel words from the chief executive, one Tom Franklin.
    Bring back the middle-aged blokes in their right mind!

Deliberate, or what?

We’re now being told that the famous migrant barge will be out of action for months due to the Legionaire’s disease bugs in the water supply.
    Maybe we ought to shove everyone involved in the scheme, especially the foot-draggers, on to the barge and tell them they’re not going  back ashore until they’ve sorted out all the problems. That would larn the buggers.

Stunning crossword clue

Food item which can be used to beat someone about the bonce in an emergency (4,8)
    Answer: club sandwich

Go directly to gaol!

The current SNP regime north of the border is doing its level best to make everyone who dares to say anything it doesn’t approve of guilty of a hate crime with appropriate penalties.
    What masochists these Scots are!

Good for them

Good to see the government showing a bit of backbone by announcing that if ‘malignant actors’, i.e. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. have AI systems for hacking and information gathering, so should we. Even if it makes like tough for native saboteurs and terrorists.

Interesting Point

Just what will Wee Burney Sturgeon put in her £1 million book if she answered most of the questions during the investigation of sexual harassment charges against former SNP leader Alex Salmond with “I can’t remember.”
    There has to be a risk of being sent to gaol for contempt of the inquiry if she suddenly decides she’s got her memory back.

Wednesday 16 August 2023

Not to be encouraged

Would anything wonderful happen if all the people messing about with the language and gender were ordered to stop it on pain of being cut off at the knees?
    They’d probably just invent something equally pointless to waste our money on because they’re that sort of person.

Reality buster

What sort of getaway driver gets into the traffic after a robbery – unpursued – and then proceeds to drive like an idiot?
    The one in The Driver (1978), which was on TV last nite.

Not a new idea

We’re getting acres of wibble about AIs now but they’re nothing new. There was a super-duper molesworth-peason electronick brane Mark VI back in the 1950s.
    See Whizz for Atomms by Geoffrey Willans with illustrations by Ronald Searle for details.

Mirror Image

You have to wonder about the mentality of the people in charge of the legal profession if they are more interested in shooting the messengers who reveal corruption and illegality in their ranks and not bothered about preventing the scandals in the first place.

Tuesday 15 August 2023

Uninspired

You get blokes in a frock and blokes who charge about in zombie make-up trying to be Labour parliamentary candidates in other parts of the country.
    Should we feel offended that none of these attention-seekers thinks our part of the country is worthy of their efforts?
    Or relieved?

Being Positive

Something you can say in favour of the Sunday Post is that it’s not reluctant to print sometimes quite lengthy letters from readers pointing out that our carbon emissions are negligibly on a global scale and when politicians claim they can make a difference with their scams here, they’re lying. And they know they’re lying but they keep on doing it.
    And the Just Stoppers are a total waste of space if they’re not picketing the Chinese, Indian, etc. embassies.

Empty Promises

One thing you can be sure of is that no matter what the weather is doing – persisting down & flooding everywhere – the forecaster will assure us that it’s going to be hotter than California; or the surface of the Sun; later in the week.
    And what about that Yellow Weather Warning for yesterday? We got a bit of rain but nothing to justify hysteria.

Not sold on it

Is it an actual selling point that some spread for bread is made with ‘real cheddar’? After all, who’s going to buy gunk loaded with fake cheddar? And probably loads of e-numbers too.

Monday 14 August 2023

Another crime against humanity

Worse, ‘a bacteria’ in the SP editorial, which is obviously not sense & grammar checked by someone who knows that bacteria us the plural of bacterium. Or maybe the editor thinks the customers are too thick to get this.
    Bring on the AIs!

Print it twice

Deja vu all over again. Different headlines but the same story on pages 10 & 19 of yesterday’s Sunday Post. One about the professionals complaining that an MSP shouldn’t be allowed to challenge their dodgy conclusions about the results of the minimum pricing policy for alcohol.
    How strange that alleged scientists don’t subscribe to the concept that all conclusions should be subject to constant scrutiny and challenge all the time.
    Who do they think they are? The UN, where science takes a back seat to politics?

No austerity

There must be plenty of mad money sloshing around if Wee Burney Sturgeon expects to get a million-quid advance for the book that’s supposed to be coming out in 2025.

Totally trivial

Am I impressed by a new temperature record which is a massive 0.01 degrees Centigrade higher than the last one?
    In yer dreams.

Sunday 13 August 2023

Redundant!

Fortune tellers and other mystics are complaining that they will be put out of business by people with artificial intelligence gadgets, which can do a really super job of coming up with secrets to bamboozle mugs.
    Terrorists are also upset by MI5 using AI systems to keep track of them.

More folly

Prince Hairy wants paupers to take up polo. But what will they do about getting a horse?
    Whatever happened to think before uttering?

Fashion folly or White is Trite

Apparently, everyone with white trainers has to ditch them. No parting stress for me. I’ve never gone in for the trainer fad as I don’t do running around.
    And it’s just a scam to make idiots junk perfectly sound footwear and rush out to buy coloured stuff.

Hot’s not new

In an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the cast were saying how hot the weather was. Something set in 2023? No, 1957, actually. Amazing! Hot weather before global warming was invented. The judge had a flask of Amontillado. Nothing good could come from that.

Saturday 12 August 2023

Missed Opportunity

How do they get away with that advert in which the yummy females are labelled ‘nice and easy’?
    Are all the outrage confecters on their summer hols?

Mobility Limit

Walking just under 4,000 steps per day could reduce your risk of an early death, the article began.
    Pause for thought.
    Does that mean walking 4,001 steps per day could kill you?
    It’s a logical conclusion, given the general vagueness of these propositions.

Yeah, right!

The $6 Man surviving a depth charge going off right next to him? No way! His non-mechanical bits would have been turned to mush. Same with the sharks nearby. There’s film licence and there’s just downright silliness.

Easy choice

Lizzo or archive Thin Lizzie?
    No contest.

Friday 11 August 2023

Needful Knowledge

It would be interesting to know how many entitled bogus asylum seekers decide to take Lee Anderson’s advice and fuck off back to France if they feel they’re too grand to live on a luxury spa barge.
    No prizes for guessing that the total will be absolutely none at all.
    Not that you’ll hear that from the usual suspects, of course.

More magic mushrooms?

That Walker the Texas Ranger has a real tough time. One night, he’s beset by Injun ghosts. The next, he’s up against a religious nutter. And there’s more Injun ghosts.
    Oh, for some proper criminals like bank robbers or cattle rustlers.

No great mystery

On the subject of hidden talents: is there any difference between Burt Lancaster, the circus performer and Lancaster the actor? Well, what does a circus guy offer to the audience other than an act?

Distressed Dolts

You do get the impression that the people moaning about Liz Truss Honours are those who would never ever get one if they were awarded purely on merit.

Thursday 10 August 2023

Rolling in dosh!

A Farage tax on banks, a meaningful pollution tax on careless water companeis, windfall taxes on petrol companies which have shoved the price of their petrol & diesel up by 4p each over the last few weeks.
    Bring all those in and they could abolish income tax! And if they add on special penalties for legal firms thah are working swindles, they could probably ditch VAT as well!

Dress Code

I had no idea that blokes are expected to buy something pink to wear for a trip to see the Barbie film with a significant other. A pair of pink trainers, then off to the charity shop to ditch them the next day?
    Not something that appeals to anyone I’ve consulted for an opinion. I wonder if you could get away with wearing a pink swastika and claim you thought it was about Klaus Barbie?

Reality bites

Heating homes with electric heat pumps is never going to happen, the experts are warning.
    The pumps and the electricity to run them are unaffordable and the electricity gird could never meet the added demand, especially with millions of electric vehicles demanding power.

Clueless

Not an awful lot of use asking the Labour lot to do anything more than yell on the sidelines about migration. Not if their leader has admitted that he doesn’t have a plan to deal with all the illegals.

Wednesday 9 August 2023

’Avin a laff

That scam to send illegals off to Ascension Island is clearly the product of someone who has been going bonkers with drink or drugs. It would cost a bomb and put BILLIONs into the pockets to the legal spivs when they tie up the courts and point out there’s nowhere on Ascension to put the unwanteds.

Already Sorted

A perfectly sensible assessment of the government’s response to the arrival of the Chinese plague is already on offer. So what’s the point on blowing £100B on this alleged inquiry?

Typical bloke!

The bloke using the Flash mop always provokes howls of female derision when the advert comes on. He doesn’t move the stools in the kitchen, he just mops between them and pretends he’s done a good job.
    But only his dog is impressed.
    A shocking libel on the male of the species. Boycott and ban Flash! You know it makes sense.

Recycling without credibility

How old is that Fairy bottle into a spaceship advert? It’s been around for decades. The ’orrible kid must be a grandfather in real life by now!

Tuesday 8 August 2023

Another past-blaster

The Prisoner done & dusted, on to The Six Million Dollar Man on the Legend channel. Yet another reason not to take any notice of the repeats and garbage on Channels 1-5.

Added Value

It’s always worth watching a Jackie Chan film, if only for the bloopers that go with the end credits. Which seem to last for hours and hours if a Chinese company made it.

No let up

I caught a glimpse in passing of part of a WW show and they’re still bogged down with the endless Usos saga and a pretence of a regard for family values.
    So no incentive to give them another try anytime soon and a reason to hope that AEW doesn’t get stuck in a similar black hole.

A service to humanity

What you really need to do is be able to fast-forward TV programmes as they’re being broadcast so that you can rush through boring bits as well as the ads.

Monday 7 August 2023

Long overdue

What we need is a system of fines for people & news media which spread deliberate misinformation. For instance, that talk about ‘free school meals’. They’re not free. They have to be paid for. And no one should be left in any doubt about this. Perhaps ‘charity meals’ would be more accurate.

Slo-Slo-Mo!

How fast do wrestling referees count? A bloke with his opponent trapped in a corner can bash him ten times between the “Two!” and “Three!” of a five-count to disqualification.
    Which everyone knows ain’t gonna happen.

The second shall be last

The rain on Silverstone blew over and Canet pulled an early lead in the 17-lap Moto2 race. SLow set some fastest laps but he was way back in 10th place. Lopez fell off with 10 to go. Canet was crept up upon and had two riders on his tail in sunshine at half-way.
    Canet lost the lead and the stewards dropped him to third behind Acosta. The grey clouds didn’t unload. Aldeguer was safely out front and on his way to a first win. Sam Lowes finished 7th.

Virtuous Life

It’s rather comforting to skim through a celeb story in the paper; about the one whose PR company tried to get free cakes for a mention in OK magazine; and realize the names of the celeb’s allegedly famous co-stars are completely unfamiliar to me.
    I’m obviously not wasting all of my time on trivialities; just the bare minimum for amusement’s sake.

Sunday 6 August 2023

Best Ever?

Tyres needed activating on the MotoGP warm-up before 20 laps of Silverstone. Bagnaia had the early lead. Miller took a long trip off the track after a blunder. Alex Marquez had a bike break-down on lap 6. Bezzecchi crashed out of 2nd at 200 mph!
    White rain flags with 8 to go! Marc Marquez crashed out with 6 to go. Brad Binder joined the leaders; none of them swapping to a bike with wet tyres. Espargaro got past Bagnaia on the last lap and went on to win. Binder was 3rd and the comms were going on about this being the best British race of all time. But don't they always?

Back Again

It feels like MotoGP has been away forever rather than for a month. Back in Britain with Moto3. Lots of action at the front and the pole-sitter crashed on lap 3/15.
    Lots of passing & re-passing action. Another crash with 3 laps to go. Holgado was leading into the last lap, ahead of Alonso, who got past, dropped back then surged ahead for his first win. Sasaki 2nd and Holgado, the series leader, 3rd.

Myth in the making

Are the sceptical Scots going to believe this silly story that the idiotic gary lineker got a standing ovation from people who were standing to do shopping in M&S?
    I note that the Sunday Post printed this load of nonsense; maybe to give the customers a laugh.

It stinks

Despite the vast amount of money blown on the planned H2S rail link between London and the North, it’s getting ratings of ‘unachievable’ from the scrutineers.
    See a Black Hole, toss all our money down it.
    And if there isn’t one big enough, create it.

More preferential treament

How strange that the Yorkshire police let the Greenpillocks lark about on the prime minister’s roof for 7 hours and the Met didn’t storm the fancy office in London to make arrests for promoting terrorist activities.
    Or is it strange, given the general wonkiness of police farces at the time of writing?
    Welcome to the new normal.

Saturday 5 August 2023

Interesting take

If we’ve gone from global warming to global boiling, that means no more outrageous winter heating bills, a pundit has pointed out. Except that the swindlers are bound to come up with a reason why winters have to be colder.

It’s never far away

Celebrate the arrival of August by splashing out £160 on a Flying Scotsman Xmas centrepiece with LED light?
    Maybe next year.

Just crazy

Don’t raise the bank rate again and plunge us into recession, yelled the newspaper pundit on Wednesday. As the Gov. of the Bank of England did raise it to 5.25%, that suggests he’s hell-bent on creating a recession; something advocated by a bloke who used to be his advisor. And we’re paying him to do this?

Preferential treatment

Why were there no charges of the same sort filed against Mrs. Clinton and Biden?
    Because they’re Democraps. As simple as that.

Friday 4 August 2023

Justice delayed is justice denied

The Trump indictment is a load of bollocks. If anything prosecutable had happened in January 2021, charges should have been brought right away, not 2½ years later.
    Bullshit and political hypocrisy.

A day out spoilt

Walker the Texas Ranger goes sea-fishing and catches what? A dead body. Cute.
    How strange that the actual boat crash confected by C.D. was chopped out of the end of the episode.

Why?

How attention-seeking do you need to be to claim you were stabbed as a kid by your now dead alcoholic dad? Pretty damn desperate.

Cause & Effect?

Why are the firemenpersons in a film always sitting around a big table having a communal meal when they get an alert? This suggests that restricting them to a quick snack individually when they’re on duty might be a good way of reducing the number of fires.

Thursday 3 August 2023

No Incentive

I don’t drink Costa Coffee – and I’m not likely to if, according to their latest advert, it’s aimed at blokes with chopped off tits.

Pillocks Panic

The World’s On Fire!! the global warming swindlers are yelling. No panic around here, though. It was chucking it down with rain and the Fire God had no chance yesterday.

Just amazing

It’s incredible! When Walker the Texas Ranger jumps out of a series of exploding buildings, he always finding his cowrboy hat conveniently nearby after he lands. Is it technology or just sheer good luck?

Just Try It

How come no one ever confronts the mad killer who keeps quoting Bible stuff and tells him he’s talking irrelevant tripe?
    It would be refreshing if that happened occasionally. But it’s probably not possible, given the number of religious fanatics in high places in the US. Or fanatic fearers.

Wednesday 2 August 2023

Stop It

What useful purpose does the currently fashionable sound-track graph across a piece of news film of somone spouting serve? Apart from none at all.

Yeah, right


Creaky Joe Biden is supposed to have gone from $30,000 in the bank to $40 million thanks to public speaking engagements after becoming president. Sounds more like another name for political donations and bungs, given his creaky performances in TV news clips.

Not trying

You’d think that if the US authorities were putting a really vital Mob witness in front of a Grand Jury, then the bozos would do it in the interior of a building so that some bum of a sniper couldn’t shoot through a window and take out the vital squealer.
    But then you wouldn’t have an essential part of the plot of the film.
    But if there’s a bad guy on the inside, he could plant a bomb in the meeting room. Which would be more spectacular but more costly to film.

Simple solution

The government is delaying putting illegals on a giant barge because the jobsworths are dragging their feet over fire regulations. Not a problem if they make sure the inmates aren’t allowed to put a dodgy fridge in their room or charge up their electric bikes overnight.

Depressing but true

Would things be better if Net Zero became Smart Zero? Not if experience tells us that sticking ‘smart’ on something, such as meters, is the kiss of death. It’s always a scam because the gadget, or concept, never ever lives up to the sales pitch.

Well Done

A round of applause for the lady who observed that creeps are moaning that the actor who played R. Oppenheimer in the recent film isn’t as tall as the original, but saying nothing about the woman who played Barbie in another rcent film being five feet taller than the original.

My version, much better than reality

Ocean’s B, I thought the film title was to a casual glance. An honest admission that a Chinese copy of the original has a B-team cast? No, closer inspection told me that the assumed ‘B’ was an ‘8’.

Fair Quibble

Logically, the plural of talisman should be talismen. But when did logic ever have anything to do with language?
