He is still at it!

I see Gormless Gordon Brown is STILL trying to give away other peoples’ money, rather than acting as a responsible MP!

Amongst the things he wants to do is to increase access to broadband across the African continent. While this may sound good, leaving aside who will pay for it, all I can imagine would be a large increase in Nigerian bank scams!

I wish he would just disappear up his own fundament!

A great day out

Yesterday, the Missus and I went to see the production of the Railway Children at the old Eurostar Terminal at Waterloo. Leaving aside the criminality of moving the Eurostar terminal, which should not have happened anyway, and then not re-using the extra platform space at one of the busiest stations in London, the show was really good, and there were hordes of school kids who were enthralled by it. There were even several actors whom I recognised in the cast. The clincher was the fact that they used the real tracks and a real steam engine in the play, although I cannot help thinking that it was being electrically driven, with some special effects steam and smoke.

Afterwards, we went to an Argentinian restaurant in Bermondsey, of all places. As many  of you probably know, Argentinian food consists of large chunks of singed cow with a few veggies around the edges. Scrumptious, especially when washed down with a bottle of a Bonarda,  then followed by a Don Pedro, a mixture of ice-cream, walnuts, chocolate and, last but not least, a large dollop of Scotch!

All in all, a very enjoyable day!

Would you care to comment, Mr Gore?

It appears that Eigg, the UK’s greenest island, is in a bit of doo-doo. Apparently, the wind is not blowing the windmills round, and the hydro-electric scheme is running out of water, so they are having to ration electricity there. Would you care to comment on this, Mr Gore, and any other of the people who would have us back in the Stone Age?

There is now a very pressing reason for reform of the House of Lords!

I need a VERY stiff drink. John “Who ate all the pies” Prescott, has been made a peer in the Dissolution Honours List! It seems that reform of the House of Lords cannot come soon enough! I cannot imagine anyone ELECTING him and the likes of some of the other dross in the list to such heights, and if it becomes an elected house, then all existing Lords presumably have to re-apply for election!

Miracle of miracles!

I filled the fuel tank, checked and topped up the oil, then fired up the Quattro!

Well, OK, it wasn’t the Quattro, but the lawn mower. Miracle of miracles, it started after about six or seven pulls on the starter cable. Last year, it took me a whole morning and all my engineering skills and some industrial grade swearing to get the thing going after the winter. I had to almost rebuild the engine! The only trouble is, I am now all stiff after pushing the thing around the lawns (note to self, must exchange it for a self-propelled one)!

Lets hope that this good omen is reflected in the result on May 7th, when the worst Prime Minister in history is consigned to oblivion!
