even I can deduce that a business which haemorrhages money at double the rate it did last year to the tune of 2Bn smackeroonies is most definitely circling the drain.
Mr Osborne on the other hand says that this is a sure sign that the bank is on track. WTF?????????? Read more…
Heston Bloomin’eck is to put a new dish on the menu.

Burger in a bun.
Nothing special there I hear you say, perhaps not. The aim of the creator of this burger is that it appears NO different to any other burger you might purchase.
If he gets it right the only difference will be when l’addition drops onto the table with a thud. £207,000 quid please.
and now the first shoots of evidence are begining to poke through.

Recently we had the Quakers, (Darlington) go into administration. They had a last minute reprieve courtesy of a 50k bung from fans and local busnisses but they are surely on their way.
Now one half of the Weegies are being advised to seek refuge from it’s creditors.

Jimmy was a good kid, no mathematician or literary giant, he had a flair for just making things work.
With no distractions such as multi channel TV, play stations or PCs, Jimmy did what came naturally to kids his age, he made his own entertainment. On non-school days, weather permitting, he was out of the house early and seldom seen until tea-time. He was always back before Dad got home, otherwise stern words from Mam would follow. They were the rules and life on the whole was fair.

“Dunno Dad, we might go up to the hills and make some gliders or there’s the beach. I’ll see if George has thought of anything when I call round his house.” Read more…

No2 daughter is after a latin translation of the following:
“Movement, health, performance, balance and therapy”

Firstly can I say that I hope you have all had a very merry Xmas and are now preparing for a very happy New Year.
Secondly I must thank OZ, Jay Dubya, Bearsy, Boadicea, El Dubya and Nym for a very difficult job as da judge. I was a shade disappointed to see no entry from Minty MBE but Xmas can be a very busy time after all. Read more…
