Rabbie Burns himself couldn't have put it better I reckon Jim

You'd think that with Iran being such a terrible place that top British firms like BA & BP for instance wouldn't be interested in it, innit, or do you think they're only in it for the money?

So, another resignation and another PM's questions - should be a good one today, I reckon...

Reminds me of that Great 'Fools & Horses' episode and Grandads death, where some old girl at the cemetary say's, 'I like a good Funeral', and Del Boy replies, 'well why don't you wait around here then, there'll be another one along in a minute' ! innit


Egyptian Holidays:

I think it's impotent to remind one of the fact that I did actually mention Davey Boys demise on here at 07:41 this moaning, but you know me! I ain't sayin nuffin further on the matter!

I wonder why Cambridge Graduates can't spell scientist then?


P.S. I read 'Hyperspace' by Kaku earlier in the year, Now there's a true spirit, and honest bullshitter if ever there was one; (Marvellous stuff) Read it:

Scientists I would argue are often swayed away from finding the truth of a situation by having to compete for government and university finance for their research, which subsequently (in my view) destroys any seriously free & honest agenda on their parts


Not that religion is any different mind, but as I understand neither, and leave it to the 'professionals' to tell me what I want to hear, it's neither here nor there really issit? so long as they get their dosh from where-ever

All potential Brits who said the North Pole should be deported to Oz forthwith

Maybe Our Gordon was sneakily behind it all?

If Davey Boy Blunkett get's another Jag will he qualify as the next DPM, cos let's face it; he's done a damned site/sight? more in his career than the present one has, and he's just as bloody arrogant, if not more so, innee

Yep they will come into the house for the stuff! Fredrik

PS: Tumbleweed, and it was unpleasant...

Mind you as Blunkers is an ex HS, he'll keep his Ministerial Jag for security reasons, as well as his Grace & Favour drum, because of his special needs as an MP living near Westminster, just thought I'd mention that to all you grateful taxpayers out there (think of all that valuable State Ministerial time) that's been wasted on bullshit, instead of the job in hand (ie, Pensions etc), in the States he'd be up on a rap no doubt (how crude, poor chap), innit


I didn't know one could just sell off shares that had been put into trust (must be something new then eh?)

Fredders me old sticky finger, weren't Tumbleweed a Cult Band of sorts once?

Evening Standard:

A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a London courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have
residence (custody) of him. The boy had a history of being beaten by his parents and
the judge initially awarded a residence order to his aunt, in keeping with the principles of the Children Act requiring that the family unit be maintained wherever possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have
custody of him.

After two adjournments to confer with CAFCASS officials, the judge granted a temporary residence order to Rangers Football Club whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone, innit


N.B. Cyclists who regularly ride/fly along pavements wearing ipods, etc (as they often do here) probably shouldn't ever become bus drivers, or so my neighbour says! and he's been one for 30 years, so he should know, innit

I expect if Germany is forced one day to impliment a work ethic akin to the UK's present one, unfortunate threads like the 'roofwarming' one will soon be in abundance on Berlin forums too? Cowboys & Mickey Mouse firms/merchants will abound, and I expect even legal services will be chosen more for their pricing than their actual professional qualifications! and getting ones chandalleers cleaned will be a bloody nightmare'n make no mistake


Recently taken whilst visiting the Isle of Man, Bloody big bike he had too!

Is it just me? Or does your constant negativity spoil the pleasure of reading the Padded Cell?

Your endless tirade against everything you despise is becoming very wearing again. As is your regular quoting of others' posts with glib remarks as to their inability to live up to your own impeccable standards. Odd behaviour coming from an unemployed soak, who openly brags about his benders and doesn't even qualify to be here on hifi grounds, don't you think?

But I suppose it helps your own psychological problems if you drag everything down to your own level at no personal expense. I've had the misfortune to work with a number of alcoholics over the years and would swap all of them for the pompous, Teflon-coated Jehova's Witness with whom I once shared an office for several years. Perhaps there's an opening for you there? Or is it the Salvation Army?

Go to go. I have an early meeting.

N.B. I used to know a Finnish girl called Yo Yo (honnist) I think she liked to be so-called cos nobody could pronounce her rael name properly? I was just wondering if I mentioned owning lot's of bikes, and bragged about my chosen country smashing England at football, if Our Adam might pull me up for talking too much sports rubbish on this thread, instead of just the usual rubbish?


Just got in a nice brace of Czech Bud for teatime to celebrate paying the monthly Jack & Jills, I do hope this isn't bragging too much though about BOOZE!

Tony Blair said yesterday during PMQ's (I do hope I'm not making this negativety up?) that some 13,500 fewer fatal accidents occurred in the UK by the last official figures, due to safer driving by British citizens across the board, as a result of 'New Labour' induced policies, I wondered at the time though, if these 'stats' were 'scientifically' deduced, or just yer normal run o'the mill spin bullshit for the punters to swallow, and make everybody (including the opposition) questioner happy?


Does anybody give a monkeys?


I doubt it!

You know me John, I ain't er, sayin nuffink!


Mind you, I'll just say this for the old record, some folk out there (who if in positions of power; God forbid) and who wantanly bandy slanderous unfounded statements about, accusing total strangers of having psychological problems etc, then many folk would I suspect never get a driving licence in the first place, just on the heresay and sticking power of the unwarranted gossip of those superior and 'very dangerous' individuals


Attack is only a good form of defence I feel if one knows what the ground rules are, and sticks by them, and in the societies that we live, when such rumour-mongering is not quickly addressed by the accused, it automatically becomes fact, dunnit

You're not imagining it - those figures Mr Blair quoted were comparing the total number of road deaths and serious injuries last year to those of a year prior to when Labout first came to power. He (conveniently) neglected to mention anything about any improvements that have been made to in-built car safety equipment (brakes/bags/bars/etc.), some of which at a push could be claimed due to Labour policy but most, I think, would be better attributed to market driven manufacturer improvements.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good bit of politicking, though.

Thanks for that Mr Starbuck, that's an excellent rundown if I may say so (excuse the pun) John

Danish Citizenship Test, No Wonder Nobody Gets In Then, innit!

Mind you! I have it on very good authority that the German test is even more worserer!

'When being malicious, never take a normally passive entity for granted, you might just get an unwelcome shock' in other words as the great comedien herself once said, 'If you can't take it, don't even consider trying to give it, innit'


No more Route-Masters & Clippys then! What a great shame, innit
