Its Budget 2015 in the UK.
Up and down the country there are street parties being held for what is the highlight of the year in oh so many people’s lives. Bunting hasn’t been put up as its too expensive, sandwiches haven’t been cut as there are none (have you seen the price of a loaf of bread?), drinks of tap water have been poured out into those horrible cheap plastic cups you got 1000 for £1. All expense spared.

I’ve read various articles over the years from folk who have lived past 100 and they have put it down to all sorts of things including whiskey and smoking (this may be that story or it could be from others).
In another story Irn Bru was said to help a woman recover from the Ebola virus.
So the lesson here folk is smoke like a chimney and drink plenty of whiskey, dr pepper and irn bru each day and you are guaranteed to never die.*
*Guarantee only valid until the individual dies.

Offline The euro’s weakness is irritating me to the 9th degree. I mean we’re almost equal with the dollar! Everytime I buy something off amazon.co.uk I feel as if I’ve been mugged- I knew we should have stayed with the Irish pound (damn you 3 year old me, why didn’t you speak up!)
I mean it had a nun on the IR£5 note for Christ’s sake, not to mention James Joyce, Charles Stewert Parnell and Douglas Hyde! Yeats and Swift were on the old notes, that and there was a stag on the pound coin-much nicer than a harp!

Good. The less plastic bags available the less used the less found floating around cities and the country-side as they are obviously too heavy for folk to carry when empty.

Sounds great, it’s been like that in Canberra for about 5 years now.
The downside has been an increase in food poisoning as people have re-usable bags but don’t wash them much so they get dirty over time and sometimes contaminate fresh food carried in them.

Watching the beginning of the ceremonial for this week’s “Royal Funereal”.
Facial reconstruction.
King Richard III’s remains have reached Bosworth Field, where he fell, and a short ceremony is being held there.
His actual reburial, after being found under a car park, will be on Thursday.
A much maligned king who has been considered one of history’s villains. A great example of the maxim that the victor (in this instance, the Tudors) write the history.

Offline A Tory MP, Afzal Amin, has been caught on tape speaking to the English Defence League for them to arrange and announce a march thru the streets of Dudley which would then be cancelled after a few meetings and he’d take all the credit.
Instead of admitting it and stepping down he’s now saying he’s a victim of a sting.
Its no wonder folk dont trust politicians instead thinking they are a bunch of lying, untrustworthy, manipulating tossbags.

Offline Erm, well that lasted long. Afzal Amin has now resigned. He could have stayed in bed instead of sounding like a deluded lying prat on the radio this morning when trying to spin it all into trying to make it look like he was doing it for our benefit. I mean why even bother going thru it all –
Accuser – ‘We have evidence on tape of you saying this, you identify yourself and say all these under no duress.’
Accused – ‘Nope, its not me’.
Accuser – ‘Are you saying its not you?’
Accused – ‘Well, erm. No. It is me but i didnt say it’
Accused – ‘Really? You’re on tape saying it’
Accused – ‘Erm, well i did but i didnt mean it and i will not resign under any circumstances. I did it to help you all cause i’m a great person and that will be seen when i defend myself’.
20 minutes later.
Accused – ‘I resign.’
And whats the bet he was coerced and didnt do it of his own prompting. Its no wonder folk dont vote.

Can politicians still be so stupid as to not expect that everything they say in this era is likely being recorded by somebody?

They could also try and not be slippery bawbags who wouldn’t think twice of claiming back the 30p donation they put in the charity tin whilst on camera. And I know its not all politicians, there is…
er…
There must be one serving who doesnt just toe the party line and avoid answering questions with bland nothings that are denied or talked out of 10 seconds later.
When one comes to mind i’ll name him/her.
And i encourage folk to vote.
