The ideal TV channel

My ideal TV channel, would have to show adverts, unfortunately, but would only shew ads that made you smile, or think, or generally made you feel good. This would obviously mean that there would be no more of the incessant ads for car or home insurance, no more ads for shampoo, conditioners, razors, hair colouring, face cream, tampons, or DFS. There would be no more use of celebrities, or shows featuring "celebrities", no more property shows, no more second-hand auction shows, no more freak shows, definitely no Big Brother, or anything like it. No repeats of anything within a year, no ad breaks longer than 2 minutes, no constant plugging of forthcoming programmes. I can dream....

Cellphones. Worry beads, or Snoopy blankets?

What is it with cellphones that users, especially young women, feel the need to hold them all the time, like worry-beads, or snoopy blankets? How often will you see them walking down the street, phone clenched tightly in their hand, obviously waiting to use it, or for someone to call them. It's like an addiction. Some people need a cigarette, others a cellphone. And when using them, why not stand still? I have lost count of the number of times I have almost been walked over by someone totally unaware of my presence, as they were fixated on their phones. And don't get me started on cretins who are texting while driving. I saw another 2 this morning, bimbos who obviously felt that their driving skills were such that they could use a phone, texting away, while accelerating over our local bridge. I wish I had had a camera with me. The local bobbies "might" have done something about them.

Baby P. A good reason to bring back hanging, and introduce compulsory sterilisation

Baby P.

Surely this case brings back the call for the death penalty, especially in such awful cases as this? And the mother, who is obviously totally unfit to ever bring up children, should be sterilised. This couple are the sort of people who have dragged this country into the gutter, benefits-trash, who use offspring as meal tickets, and who are content to live off the State, taking no responsibility for their actions, and giving nothing back to society.

If we hung the murderers we would increase the availability of prison cells at a stroke, and if we sterilised people like this couple, we would reduce the strain on public resources. Oh, I'm sure that organisations like Liberty, and their bleating do-gooders, will get the lawyer involved, as they always do, and the EU will poke their oar in, but we really ought to do something which will stop the baby P case ever being repeated.
