There has to be a market for these.

We have a cat and we tend to feed her outside, unless it’s raining. Like most cats she tends to leave some of her food for Ron (later on) which please the crows and a few other birds that descend upon an unguarded food bowl.

Now for the odd part, we have noticed this summer that when we return home her food bowl always has a number of dead wasps in it. Why? Is there something in the cat food that’s killing them or is the cat killing them (highly unlikely).

Any body else come across this and if so is there an answer?

Sitting here watching the news I began to wonder about Libya and all the bullets these guys fire into the air; don’t they come down somewhere and if they hit someone on the way down would it kill them?

Any answers to this from some of our weapons oriented bloggers?

Life and times of an average banker
For the past two to three years we have heard nothing but how the bankers have nearly ruined the world, how rich bankers are and of course the rabid rantings from Brown, Prescott, the rest of the Labour lefties and of course the very Biased Broadcasting Company.
I am not trying to make excuses or say that the banks did not play a major part in the financial woes of the world, nor will I say that a few (very few) are grossly overpaid, but no more so than the top people in other Limited companies and PLC’s; though most of their earnings are based on bonus payments, they bring in the dosh they receive a percentage the same as any other salesman, just bigger numbers.

As I was leaving work and locking up our gates a mother of a young child, about 4 or 5 approached me and said “Did you know that there is some sort of awful black stuff all along the top of your gate?” the gate in question is nearly 7 foot high.
“Yes” I replied “It is anti vandal paint to stop people climbing up it”
“Well my son just climbed up and got covered in it” she remonstrated
“Well it is there for a reason, we have been broken into a number of times and we need to stop people getting in” I answered.
She then just stood there looking and waiting. I think she expected an apology or an offer to replace her snotty little off springs ruined clothes. Tough shit madam, if he climbed my gate, he entered my property.

Still in 8 years time we shall see this lovely little child running amok and smashing up cars and shop windows.

For those of you that saw my blog last week about the scum in Orpington nicking the lead from roof.

After the event I coated everything in anti vandal paint, a black slimy greasy stuff that ruins your clothes and is a sod to get off.

Got to work this morning and the lamp posts outside our entrance are covered in the anti vandal paint where someone has tried to wipe their hands somewhere to clean them off.

Strike one for me and the paint. Pity I can’t add phosphorous to it so when they try to wash it off it bursts into flames, but I am told it is against their “ooman rites” Pity.

Okay people as it is summer time try this one and have fun

I see from the papers that our Olympic team are practising well with the new events on offer for next year.

The 200 metre sprint with a 42inch plasma telly on your head.
changing into stolen track suit and trainers in under 10 seconds.
How quick can you get from riot one to riot 2

and so the list goes on.

When the press stop calling them rioters and start calling them thieving vandals the better, then maybe, just maybe they will realise it is their shopping centres and local businesses they are destroying, not the establishment. Continue reading “New Olympic event”

I arrived at work today and sat at my desk drinking my coffee, when I decided it was rather hot in the room so I went to open the window. Looking across the flat roof I noticed something adrift. Half a roof rather than a complete roof in front of me.

Overnight the scum in Orpington had decided to help themselves to half off our lead roof and scarpered. Being a dutiful soul I called Mr Plod on the new 101 number for non emergencies.

After an 8 minute wait a human of sorts answered the call and took all the details. I was then called back for extra info, date of birth (??) ethnicity which I declined to answer to then be asked the reason for the info is to ascertain if it is a racist attack. I informed him that I did consider it to be a racist attack as I am a white, hetro-sexual male who works and pays tax and that the perpetrators where most probably the pikey scum bags that live around Orpington (the biggest pikey settlement in the UK) and who are all on benefit and scour the area to steal.

He informed me that my attitude was wrong and that I should not say such things.

I still consider it a racist attack but Mr Plod doesn’t. Ho Hum such is life.
