Hearts of Darkness:

I see Doctor John's at it again then*

And when asked what he actually thought of the Great Soap Opera that is today's Britain; Our Jack (2-Jags) Duckworth said, "I'm just bloody glad I live in the real world of Weatherfield Lad, and our Cherie/ sorry Vera Love; agrees too"

Fritz von Elsie Tanner's not worth a half a sixpence, cos that's a thrupenny bit, and you don't get many of them these days to a bakers dozen of tripe balls*

Whilst enjoying a few pints of Weihenstefan (Worlds oldest brewery) Weizen (wheat) Bier last night (known as Wei� beer in the West) with fresh lime slices, (most drink it with lemon) I was chatting to an old mate of mine who's from D�sseldorf and has just returned from a quick buzz down there on his Motorsickle. He said nothing's changed there; still as boring as ever (Barring the Irish pub in the Altstadt), everybody still goes over the river to K�ln where the real crack is and serious all night drinking unlike the early closing of the former puritans and their money grabbing ways, innit*



Fritz von Shame really innit, but yer can have all the good looking boozers side by side in a lovely old setting, but if the people ain't got humour and are stuck up, what can yer do?


The taxi drivers are nice apparently though*

Amused that SKY aired that Bush/Blair video spoof as breaking news from er, Sweden, it was going around here 4 months ago+, even in Slovakia too apparently and we know what they're like don't we!

This open er. tomorrow* Quite an amazing piece of engineering to put it mildly, of course they would have preferred the Aussie Cowboys to build it, but they were unfortunately too busy fucking up Wemberly and screwing the British Taxpayer for tens of millions in extra (whatever you wish to call it John, it's your bleedin money).


Fritz von How I miss the old stench and filth of the street it was so romantic*

Nice to see Angela Merkel just returning from a successful trip to China after selling them some 300 new trains etc, all to be built in er, Germany, I wonder how Britain & the US are getting along with their relations, I notice too (quite rightly) that India has no qualms about a certain protectionism towards it's own industries and workers either (just like George W eh) we'll soon see who can get it both ways won't we?

Did you know that Germany is the biggest exporter of goods in the world (It was in the Sun so it must be true) you'd think more Brit Students would learn the language really wouldn't you!

I wonder why it's taken two odd weeks before announcing a £40,000 reward for information relating to the recent murder of the Special Constable in UK, anybody care to comment (don't make me larf Fritz)* Should have been immediate and by the State* other private donantions can top it up later, pathetic really innit*

Enjoyed reading the link This open er.Tomorrow*

Did it stay on budget?

The photograph of the mans hand holding the steel hawser, would make a terrific enlargement for my office wall.

Fritz von I'm glad you enjoyed that link Our Beano, if you read further you'll notice that it all cost (well on budget) not too far off of what the Aussie PFI Cowboys (TO DATE) have squandered on the Wembley mud patch, wait till next year, excuses over non working toilets, this and that etc, etc, I wonder if the new Emirates stadium will have serious teething probs? I think not somehow**

Goodnight

I've just had a quick look at one of the forums on the Spiegel site. A good post by Abu Afak me thinks.

Fortunately, that Frank's pretty amenible. When I was a student in Frank's hometown of Oxford, he kindly let me have a box of a dozen jars for my dad's Christmas present - 'best Christmas pressie ever' said my dad - kind Frank.

I have enjoyed Frank Coopers marmalade vey much, and it was only bettered (in my view), by home made marmalade from proper Seville Oranges, made by my now eighty year old Aunt from Ross-on-Wye, who simply used to cook for Britain in her time. Real bread is still obtainable of course and is essntial, with nice fresh Welsh butter...

Fredrik

PS: I have made marmalade on an industrial scale myself, but I would not have recomended it as being fine as a taste. Too much Sulphur Dioxide in the fruit to ever get nice tange. Gets the hands clean tho'! It would not hurt you but the flavour was not subtle in my view! Did any here sample Hartley's individual miniature packs of Marmalade, such as one found in Hotels for breakfast, about twelve years ago. I made the stuff! I am repentant!

The real reason why Our Mick eats the stuff!

"Carrying as it does the Royal Warrant, Frank Cooper's marmalade has been standard fare at British embassies the world over. The Queen herself also admits to enjoying Frank Cooper's at breakfast!"


Fritz von You've either got it or you ain't*

A'plenty in the old Scottish Embassy Son!



Fritz von Did you know that a certain British Minister was entertained ('Privately' for four days) hotels , booze, etc, etc, not so very long afore by those cheeky lovebale chappies from Serbia; Karadich & Laddie Boy (who are presently AWOL), and guess what the Chaps name is?


Yes you've guessed it Dr John Reid Home Secretary MP (Not for long), this will cause far more shit hitting the fan than anything gone before (he didn't declare it either). His PHD is in Stalinist/Marxist studies by the way when he was a paid up Commie, as well as being a serious Bully Boy, and boozer (Still) and punch em first merchant, and he's in a very powerful position if you ask me (Which I'm sure you won't)


I ain't sayin Nuffin John*

Chancellor Merkel's official train rolled into the brand new Haupt Bahnhof from Leipzig late yesterday to the cheers of some 500,000+ cheering onlookers (Imagine Blair getting that?)

Fritz von After it was all sorted she was reported to have said we will never be late again all the British ICE drivers have been fired*

Talking of Bloody Changes

Just about every police officer on duty one night in the Teeside town of Stockton (all 19 of them) are likely to be questioned over an incident in which an innocent man was brutally beaten by some of them and – adding insult to injury – was then charged with assault.The Independent Police Complaints Commission is supervising an investigation into claims that officers used excessive force against Stephen Whenary after a district judge threw out charges of assault and resisting arrest against Mr Whenary and declared the police case had been “riddled with discrepancies”.

Mr Whenary, 36, suffered cuts and bruises to his head, neck and back after he was dragged from a shower and battered with a baton. He was then dragged naked and bleeding from the house and taken to Stockton police station. His injuries, including a huge gash across the back of his neck, required hospital treatment. He was off work for 13 weeks.

The Stockton officers were responding to a call from a neighbour about raised voices coming from the house Mr Whenary sometimes shared with his partner – who just happened to have once been married to a Cleveland policeman.

ALSO THIS FORTNIGHT

- Asbo for “polite and courteous” 79-year-old who criticised council policy at meetings

- Taxpayers buy hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of heroin for customs officers to supply to dealers

- Just how many other jobs does the chair of the Atomic Energy Authority have?

- They liked it so much they bought the community: British Nuclear Group to sponsor new academy near Sellafield Health Secretary and PM’s favourite hospital… to close

- Oxfordshire loses NHS hospital beds, gets private ones instead

- All talk: government opens “talking therapy” centres with one hand; cuts counselling with other.

Nothing new there then*

Nice to see you consistently publishing a good news story, Fritz,

When and if you ever read the rest of the story you'll enjoy it even further Our Andy, those involved shoud be jailed, but they wont be unfortunately*


CSO's Rule OK

Fritz,
the story will be interesting - no doubt.

3 points, tho:
1. It will be interesting to see the IPCC reply/investigation, won't it?
2. You make a very early assumption re the outcome of the case w/out the facts. Are you assuming the full facts from a private eye report? I wish I had that luxury.
3. How about a posistve story...?
