Not grey anymore, call it "off-white"

I used to think that the UK was grey, cars were mainly grey, weather is grey, political climate, and the actual climate, everything is grey, and it was getting me down. I am normally a glass 1/2 full type of guy, so, on the 1st day of Spring, I had a change of mind. Now grey does not exist in my vocabulary, and what used to be called "grey" is now "off-white". What a difference this has made to my view of life. Try it for yourself.

Grey, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly

I am completely fed-up with this miserable, grey country, and cannot wait to leave. Roll on 21/11/2012. The latest news, about more politicians fiddling expenses, 50p for milk, I ask you, and the thought that we might have to pay compensation to criminals for denying them the right to vote. Come on, are we completely bonkers? We should be telling the European Court of Human Rights to take a long jump, or pay the compensation themselves, Unelected pillocks! And don't get me started on health and safety. God forbid, it is thought to be dangerous to leave your house in case you stumble on something. This country, and I am ashamed to admit I was born here, has turned into a grey mass of wanna-be property owners, or scroungers, or both, a haven for terrorists, scoundrels, illegal immigrants, pseudo-refugees simply here for free handouts. And our elected leaders are too cowardly to do the right thing. Leaving the EU, bringing back hanging, and chucking illegal immigrants out would be a good start. Celebrity culture dominates everything else, TV programmes are, on the whole, repeated rubbish, or moronic wallpaper, like the X-factor, or any of the soaps. How can people watch such drivel? Let me go back to the bush, where all I hear is Mother Nature, a wind-pump, and the BBC World Service.

TV brainwashing

The most annoying TV adverts?

Car insurance, home insurance, pet insurance, insurance and more bloody insurance.

The interminable % of interminable people interviewed who approve of their hairspray, mascara, floor cleaner, shampoo, make-up, etc, etc.

DFS and their never-ending sale.

Happy smiling banks and building societies.

European Human Rights idiots

Terrorists!. We find them, convict them and jail them, but we can't send them back to their own countries as the European Court of Human Rights say they might be in danger. Shame. Now, this same, august, body, tells us that terrorists we have in jail, and who are wanted by the US, cannot be deported as they face harsh sentences, and/or conditions. Another big shame. Isn't it time we listened to our own courts, our own justice, and told the Europeans legal monkeys to go and take a jump. Whoops, sorry, that is probably against European health and safety! Let me out of this insane asylum.t

YouTube twit or nitwit.

"Until I lost 900 videos, I never actually considered there was anything unsafe about trusting a company such as Google to protect my data. After all, who keeps photos in a shoebox any more?"

A blogger, name withheld for legal reasons, had his YouTube account removed after uploading a video from a gig by British comedian Jimmy Carr.

The BBC article re this man who "lost" his videos from Google/YouTube, raised my ire. He obviously transgressed, not for the 1st time, and deserved all he got. His comments about his 900 video files, and who uses shoe-boxes, were childish, and offensive. As someone who keeps my own video files, on my own storage devices, I have no desire to use on-line storage applications, such as Facebook or YouTube, and if he wants storage, he should pay for it. People like him, who take unauthorised videos, using their mobile phones, and then upload them, are pirates, and need slapping down.

Child-free shopping hours

Child-free shopping times.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to go shopping, especially for the main weekly shopping, during a time without hordes of noisy, badly behaved, obnoxious, brats!.
I call upon major retailers to give us the option of at least an hour, each week, to enjoy our shopping experience, without having to avoid buggy-pushing parents, and their misbehaving offspring.

Tiger b****y Woods is the main story on TV, Radio, and the newspapers. Why? He is a golfer who was unfaithful to his wife, hardly Earth-shattering news, and of NO importance whatsoever to those of us, the majority of the World I imagine, who care not a jot for golf or golfers.

Compulsory sterilisation

The 2 "Edlington" sadists, sorry, young children, some from a family of 7 children, a violent father, and a junkie mother. Surely an obvious argument for compulsory sterilisation? Why should we support people like this?

Unemployment figure lie!

The unemployment figures released by the Government a couple of days ago are lies. They pointed out that the number of people drawing unemployment money, job-seekers allowance, had fallen, so, obviously, less people are unemployed. Rubbish. I have been unemployed for more than 7 months, and my job-seekers allowance was stopped after 6 months. I'm still unemployed, still battling financially, thinking of going bankrupt, but no job-seekers allowance, so I'm not on the radar. Ergo, I must be off the unemployment figures. Politicians? Devious benders of the truth more like.

notmyfault.gov

I had to laugh this morning, when they were discussing the lack of salt for treating frozen roads in England. The politician blamed the council, the council blamed the suppliers, and the suppliers said they were supplying everything that had been ordered. So it’s nobody’s fault then. That’s OK.

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.

Hanging or deportation and Ms Chakrabati

We have a major problem here in the UK, with more murders daily, knifings, and shootings, and jails full to bursting. Jails so full that scum are claiming their human rights are being infringed.

Convicts should have no rights. Theychose to ignore the rights of their victims, so have no case for bleating.

Only this morning, 14 illegal immigrants escaped from an Oxford detention centre, which means valuable Police time looking for them, when we have a major agricultural crisis going on.

We have murderers who will be out in a few years, and can murder again, yet who, in the meantime, are costing us a fortune to feed and house, and who are taking up much needed cell space.

They should be hung, or, at the very least, if they are imports, sent back to their home countries, whether they like it or not.

Nobody goes on when major trading partners, such as China or Saudi Arabia, execute criminals, when you would expect people like Ms Chakrabati to be at her most voluble. Perhaps there is no cash incentive for this woman to go on about foreign executions. I do wish she would get a life other than on the BBC every 2nd day.

Apartheid wages?

So there is no petrol or diesel to be found in South Africa, as the delivery drivers are on strike. Sounds a bit like Zimbabwe doesn't it, yet while Zimbabwe still blames the colonial oppressors, South African trade unionists are still blaming apartheid, with a rallying cry against "apartheid wages". Some 13 years since they took over, and they are still blaming apartheid. They should get a life, and see what they are doing to the country. In the meantime the South african Communist Party loses(?) huge donations, somewhere between the party treasurer, and the general secretary. Seems even communists like money, especially if it doesnt belong to them.

Naughty Brazilian Judge

So a brave/foolish judge in Brazil has declared that football (soccer to some people) is for straight folks, no homosexuals should be playing. It will be interesting to see how long he keeps his job.
