"So This Is Christmas!"

The offensive cartoon: The IDF, as far as I can tell, does not bomb 3 civilians in rural areas. My understanding is that the civilian deaths among Arabs occur as collateral damage in more heavily populated areas.

[I've objected to IDF tactics for years and to the occupation of the west bank and Gaza, but I note that the IDF is criticized even in Israel when civilians are killed, while Hezbollah (sp?) targets civilians and seems to be proud to do so.]

Both Arabs and Israelis have acted inhumanly. Both Arabs and Israelis have valid claims. Taking one side or the other - which 'Acad Tsunami' and the cartoonist seem to be doing - only strengthens those who want to sustain their justification for acting inhumanly.

Political cartoons that foster rage against one side or the other are offensive.

And there's me always thinking that M.D. was actually Dr er, John Boy (Oh Fuck not Health) Reid making a few Bob on the side! we live and learn I suppose? Nice Little Hairy Balls come to mind!

You're simply incapable of discussion, aren't you Fritz? Even the most zealous religious nuts I've come across over the years can manage to trot out their pre-prepared arguments when somebody is subjecting their views to question. But all you can do is insult people and post more rubbish.

It's a pity.

Can you believe the sheer arrogance and rudeness of this article? to actually accuse the 'possible' future, erm, 1st Load of the Treasury of Llllll'ying, it's incredible thanklessness²; and after all he's done you & Britain for*

Taken from Today's ('Daily Mail' Financial Section).

Fritz Von I expect Our Mick and his Chaps will be straight on the old blower to their er, Lawyers to see how much they can get in damages? I mean to, er, take this scoundrel to the cleaners and a hefty sentence behind bars too (couldn't imagine such Treason in Maggie's Reign now could we Chaps) Oh no.


P.S. Deano me Old Yawn Merchant³! Our Bruce knows some good Doctors I expect, ask him for some names Son, they'll put yer right John.


G'Day. Crochet's very theraputic I hear?

N.B. Doesn't that bleedin Karen Carpenter's voice get on yer tits at this time of year Chaps (She's dead you know! for those that may not have heard), I much prefer the old Lennon version of Mr Postman, it's just sooo FAB, innit*

In fact I'm listening to it right now strangely enough*


Talking of the Post Office ****



So that's allright then*

Apparemntly quite a few British GP's these days actually earn over a quarter of a million squid a year!


Fritz Von Nice work if yer can get it, innit*

I can Wholeheartedly reccommend listening to the 'Being Different' Prog, which I heard last night, bloody interesting and entertaining stuff actually Chaps*

Here's mine too Chaps:

At the Mall, Christmas shopping with my parents when I was about four years old, I had a little money and I was starting to figure out what it was all about. I had worked out that a price label that said, for example, £8.50 meant that you could choose whether you wanted to pay £8.00 for it - or whether you wanted to pay 50 Pence...

So, armed with this logic I found an unexploded handgrenade holder for my father which was priced at £4.50. I asked the lady at the counter if I could pay fifty Pence for it. She looked at me for a moment, smiled and said, "Of course." She took my fifty Pence and put it in her pocket for me, then she said "come back when you've got the other 4 Quid you thievin little con artist". I told my mother and she just smiled.


Fritz Von Ah yes those were the days! of course it's all so very different now though Chaps, innit?*

Still on the Christmas theme Chops, in Jolly Old Texas (States Vary) if one is convicted of a Sex Crime, one's D & A is automatically put on a National & State Register, but Guess What Chaps?


If you're a Convicted Murderer, it isn't!!!

On a German TV Quiz Show the other evening (tounge in Cheek , with 'comedians' based on UK model) the MC asked the question "Why was a British woman who'd emigrated to Australia with her husband and two kids refused a permanent resident status thingy there?" I expect many of you may already know about this, and I'm not totally sure if it's a spoof or not, perhaps somebody could enlighten Moir further if one could be bothered naturally, innit?

The answer was that because she was too thin/light and didn't have enough body mass as required by that particular State (Victoria I think?)!


Fritz Von I kid you not! (Honnist) .


P,S, Kate Moss would just get a visitors jobbie then I expect!


I'd be classed as a crowd!!!

What did Kenny Everett say to Mr Peel as he put another record on?

"You've changed your bloody tune John!"

N.B. Just had a nice Christmas Letter from the old Court telling me who my official brief is, and that a thingy will be visiting me in the not too distant future (date yet to be arranged) to assess my incredible wealth for legal reasons you understand, (there goes my Hi Fi then Chaps) innit*

Plus a full on 'have a go' letter to my Health Insurance people to demand free service from now on (feel better already so I do), and a refund too naturally.

Tax office soon too to get that old 100% rebate a'rollin (Jan-Dec here naturally as in the rest of the normal fiscal world, innit).

Well done Del Boy and all at Christmas time too Son, I wish you a speedy recovery John. I will repeat though, that surely you mean (New NHS Technology in the UK) and as mentioned afore, of which I have absolutely no qualms about whatso'ever in repeating a thousand times over, this technology is not new by any means. British NHS management is a sham and that's why you're farting about for ever trying to get served. At least three+ ('normal' 'GP Practices' NON PRIVATE, Not Hospitals! GP Bloody Practices) here in Berlin boast 'Full Body' scan MRI's (where you are elligible to be seen at too by the way as an EU Citizen).

Regards,

Fritz Von The advantage of FULL BODY once again being the Data is complete and whole for future reference (ie, is much cheaper too in the long run for those that 'actually need' scans!!! and not those that 'think' they need scans?


British Airways are proving their usual rubbish seasonal service I see*


Consistent if nothing else*

A guy walks into a Glasgow library and says to the prim librarian:

"Excuse me Miss, de ye hiv any books on suicide?"

To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses, and says,

"Fuck off, ye'll no bring it back!"

N.B. Chaps! You know how it took Suffolk Police about 5 Seconds to put scaffolding up to keep out nosey bloody interfering er, Media Johnnies? Well I wonder how many 'uninsured' er, properties in Norf London are still waiting for the same; after the Dreaded Tornado then?

"So let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of **** La La, I'll show you summfin to make you change your mind ***"

Exactly 3 Years to the day I flew from Berlin's Classic Templehof Airport in freezing snow & dense fog (plane was de-iced first while we sat in it warming up TurboProp Concordski jobbie) flew over the Alps to Basel, no visibility the whole trip landed in thick snow, took off again twenty minutes later to Barcelona, and basically the same on the way back a fortnight later.


Fritz Von You'd think they'd be more safety conscious the Old Swiss & German's really wouldn't you?*


Tickets cost a fortune mind you!

I ain't sayin nuffin though*


Appy Christmas *

Actually, this is bollocks. My accountants specialise in GP accounts and I have seen their (annonymised) earnings sheet for a large representative sample of UK GPs. This information is in the public domain anyway.
You are simply repeating the ill-informed media story.
GPs in Britain are self employed and effectively receive a lump sum to provide care for the patients on their list. Out of this lump sum they have to pay for; employed doctors (a growing trend, 'cos the young-uns like some employment rights),nurses, secretaries, managers, receptionists, cleaners etc. They also have to provide their own premises, and heat, light, and maintain them. The "contract" sum received by GPs,from the Care Trust, to pay for all this is quite large, and simply dividing it up as GP income can result in ludicrous statements regarding "GPs' earnings".
The net intended income for a full-time UK GP is about 100K, and considering all the factors involved this is a fair sum in my view. Quite a few GPs are temporarily earning a bit more due to meeting all the Govenments "Quality" targets, but this will be clawed back over the next five years. Also, GP numbers will drop considerably as we are replaced by private contractors, mainly staffed with Nurse practitioners. So being a GP is no longer a "job for life".


Now, why don't you go and get a job Fritz?

Don't be fooled by the whiskers and foreign accent, or the red tunic and seal skin wellies, he'll still slurp your sherry and scoff the mince-pies.

This'll only happen if you're on the database of course and meet the strict conception of being "nice" and not classified as being "naughty", will he slip in through the French doors or down the chimney to distribute the gifts from various catalogues and emporiums!





Merry Christmas all

I'm in a slight quandry here Chaps! The question is! Who does one actually listen to here, a Crown Minister of the Realm Democratically elected by the British People on an Official Govt Website airing her views, or a Chap (Who I'm sure's very decent when he's sober) on a Hifi forum, who doesn't use his real name, and tells one he's a Doctor?



Fritz Von I recall reading on here not so very long ago the Right Honourable Bruce Wodehouse (also say's he's a Doctor) commenting on the Right Honourable Dr Mrs Bruce, telling him how nice it would be that now he was earning �250,000+ a Year, to possibly get her that nice little motor she'd always yearned for, innit*


Probably only joking though I expect?


I bloody hope Arry don't win today though!!!


N.B. Watched an interesting little filum last eve on the second German TV Channel (UK 2006) with Vanessa Redgrave, etc, etc, playing a well off charismatic & thinking widower (I expect some of you may well have already seen it too?).
Oh How I related to so many of those Characters in that story, it just reeked of Parryesque Greed and selfishness� (nice scenes though).


P.P.S. Yes Chaps! I can see him now trotting along the Wiltshire Lanes on his trusted Steed *Dinplug2' dropping pooh left right and behind him, antique shotguns on either side of his saddle (24 bores + 1) hounds bounding ahead into the distant traffic, ancient motor bikes clouding the atmosphere with their splutter, and Our Mick proudly strutting on for England and all that's truly British.


Love the subtle advert too (Emblazened on the back of that Red Hunting Jacket splashed with port & Wild hedgehog flavoured crisps, (PFI CONSULT) in Gold Lettering, How truly tasteful I thought:



Brrp.


Did you know some folk actually refer to whisky and Single Malt as Scotch?

Great to see Whispering Bob giving a lovely tribute to Mr Brown on Auntie yesterday too wunnit:

Give em a Barbour Jacket and a glass of Port each and you'll see no difference at all at all Chaps*

Fritz Von and an amusing tale to Cheer Our Mick up somewhat, Fritz's Care Packet didn't arrive yet (posted long afore naturally), so he's just enjoyed the first ever Alcohol Free Christmas (not even gripe water John), and possibly a Fizz Free New Year as well if this keeps up! Well what can you expect from a scrounging dole grabbing layabout eh?


I'm just glad I live here though, and that's a fact*

"No More Credit at the Liquer Store" sounds like a good song title that dunnit Chaps?


Tax office next week by Gad*

N.B. Did you know that the German Public Love and Admire the British Royal Family so very much that they've all actually adopted the Custom of Celebrating Christmas Eve and the giving of presents etc then, instead of the next Day, Now that's what I call Respect² Chaps, innit*


Do I give my postman a tip this year or not? (Usually leave it stuck to my door on New Years Eve in an envelope), looks bad down Our Acad's way for the shopping then dunnit!
