Who’s the athlete?

On the subject of good old T.J., he always has to do a hell of a lot of running to chase after bad guys. Did he have a stunt double to do most of it?
    A star should be able to command one.

Virtue at the taxpayer’s expense

I used to know a local councillor who told me that some council members think it makes them look good if the Town Clerk is paid a ridiculous salary
    Which explains why 4,000 Town Hall staff are on over £100K, plus pension and expenses, and hundreds are paid more than Beer Smarmer gets for being in charge of the entire UK.

Fair question

“Do you have a first name, Callaghan?” the Six Million Dollar Man once asked Oscar’s diminutive aide.
    “Yes,” she replied.
    I wonder if you’d get the same response from T.J. Hooker!

Mugs Galore

You have to be really desperate for attention to splosh loads of money on a handbag that looks like a cornflakes packet or a slice of pizza. Luckily for the people who turn this stuff out, there are lots of attention-seekers with lots of spare dosh around.

Trivial in comparison

We’re supposed to have problems with obesity, but the Indians have us totally beat!
    The government of India reckons it will have 440 million obese people in 2050 because the city dwellers are scoffing junk food. And 800 million people living in poverty on meagre state hand-outs.

Distorted values

How curious that our wonderful Chancellor thinks it’s a good idea to take cash away from carers, who do essential work, but not from those who choose not to have anything to do with work.
    But expecting good sense from politicians is expecting something that rarely happens.

Running out of options

s there anything Trump hasn’t stuck a tariff on? Or is he going to have to resort to sticking tariffs on his existing tariffs to keep on promoting his tough guy image?
