Fiery Green

Fires caused by solan panels are increasing in frequency as a result of the rush to deploy them. Installation quality is not keeping pace. Bigger bills from insurance companies too if they are having to pay out more?

More D.I.E. action

Cambridge City Council (where else?) has blown a million quid on a toilet block which includes 3 holes in the ground for foreigners to use. They pay a quid and squat over the hole to make a deposit. Bring your own gas mask?

Still not sold

Bank Security Department seems to be getting rather desperate to impress. This morning’s call from their pocket phone number included a charge of £800 to my card (type not specified). How soon will they have to go over the one-grand threshold in their attempts to frighten someone into being scammed?

Friday treat

The winless RedBlacks travelled west to the Blue Bombers; cool and cloudy. A bobble was picked by the BB to stop the RB opener. Sack, punt. FG in the 10th minute, 3-0. Collards sacked again. 2-yard TD for the BB in Q2.
    Another FG for the RB, 6-7. Collards downed again, dinged. A dose of Olivera, FG for the BB, 6-10. More Olivera, Collards back, Olivera TD, 6-17. A long kick off return by the RB, TD! No +2, 12-17. FG for the BB at 0:00, 12-20.
    Nearly a TD, end zone drop, FG for the Bombers. Collards sacked again. 51-yard FG for the RB, 15-23. Another FG in Q3.  Sack by the BB cancelled by a roughing penalty, inside the 5, TD, 21-26. DPI by the RB, Charge! 21-33. Close by the RB as time ran out, sack, 3rd down end zone pick, the end.

Protection-free

Should we be surprised that the bloke at the heart of the Cambridge wokery scandal is being outed for recycling the title of an episode of a 2010 TV series as the title of his about to be published book? Not really.
    There is no copyright on titles, as one of my correspondents found when the title of one of his short stories, written in 1981, was used for a 2018 film.

So much for that!

Probation staff are threatening to go on strike over the government’s plans to let thousands of criminals out of gaol early. The poor dears toiling for the Probation Service are worried about being overworked.

Grab ‘n’ Wreck

Burnbum’s puppet-masters are demanding a wealth tax in the Budget. To fund benefit votes and camps for illegals? And ensure there’s Nett Zero investment here and growth, of course.
