Damp, dingy, dismal and dodgy at the Castle this morn, didn’t
get to the smoke yesterday, I managed to break my only pair of glasses so I had
to go to “Specsavers”, had an eye test while I was there and discovered that
the old peepers are healthy but in need of a bit more help to function.
So I look forward to getting my “new” driving glasses next Saturday
at the knock down cost of £143. But they did repair my old specs for free.
And today’s worm pic.
Pippa Middleton is single again after ditching her doting
boyfriend Alex Loudon.
Apparently Britain's
most sought-after date has not been seen with the professional cricketer turned
City broker for weeks.
One source close to Old Etonian
Alex said: "Pippa has become very high profile and it's put a strain on
things. They're moving in different circles."
Pippa shared a three-hour
romantic meal with George — son of the fabulously wealthy Duke of
Northumberland — at Le Cercle restaurant near London's Sloane Square last week.
They sneaked back to his posh pad
and did not emerge until 2am when George, 26, walked Pippa to the lobby and
gave her a goodnight hug.
Hope he’s wearing body armour.....
A whopping £31.5 billion is raised by the Government each year through
fuel and vehicle excise duty.
But just £13.4billion is spent on roads and repairing environmental
damage caused by traffic. That means the Treasury's coffers are swollen by an
extra £18.1billion — or £293 per person.
Taxpayers' Alliance
director Matthew Sinclair said: "British motorists are hit unfairly hard
by motoring taxes that are far too high.
"The
Chancellor should freeze duty for the rest of this Parliament. And politicians
should stop ripping off British motorists with the highest taxes on petrol in
the EU."
A YouGov poll for
The Sun yesterday revealed 85 per cent of Brits want fuel duty frozen.
Make that 85 per cent plus one.
And:
EDF was found guilty of
espionage aimed at Greenpeace.
Two of
the company’s security executives were jailed, along with three others
recruited to carry out the spying.
Campaigners
hailed the verdict as ‘a strong message to the nuclear industry that no one is
above the law’.
The
verdict was reached on the day that EDF, one of seven top-tier 2012 Games
sponsors, brought in price rises for its 5.7million British customers.
So that the customers can pay the fine for them...
80pc of Australians think they can understand pets and believe
they know their pets well - and can communicate"
The survey of 800 Australian pet owners found more than 95 per cent of dog owners talked to their pets, while just over 89 per cent spoke to their cats.
And 87 per cent said they
understood what their pets were trying to say, according to the survey
commissioned by an animal healthcare company.
I aked his Maj about this-no comment.
Lisa Somerville, 28, was driving home in a rainstorm when
she lost control and careered head-on into another car.
She was cut free by fire fighters and
rushed to hospital with a punctured lung, four cracked ribs and a broken nose.
Doctors later told her the silicone pads
she used to boost her then AAA bust had saved her life by acting like airbags.
Ms Somerville said: ‘I suffered a
punctured lung and cracked ribs but thanks to my chicken fillets, I was still
alive.
‘I was told otherwise my ribs would have
pierced my heart.’
After the crash near her home in
Kirkintilloch, near Glasgow, she came round moments later with shooting pains
in her body.
But luckily she was ‘doubling up’ –
wearing two silicone implants on both sides.
She said: ‘I was in a bad way but I was still breathing. As
doctors peeled back my clothes to get a better look at the damage, they noticed
the skewered chicken fillets inside my bra.’
After recovering, Ms Somerville paid £4,000 to upgrade her breasts from a triple A to a 30E.
She said: ‘I’m ten times more confident
and happier than ever. I’m giving my new boobs a birthday celebration.’
Wonder if my Moobs will work as well?
Learner driver Wen
Le had one 'L' of a time learning how to park during her lesson in Xiaolan,
Guangdong province, southern China.
After hitting the
accelerator instead of the brake she shot through a wall leaving the car stuck
half in and half out of an alley.
"She was
slightly hurt but luckily no-one was standing on the other side of the wall
when she came through," said a police spokesman.
Wen added: "I
don't know what happened. I was parking very carefully and the car just took
off."
That’s a fail
then....
Michael Alan Skopec phoned the police five times because his
iPhone wasn’t working. The 48-year-old man from Bristol, Illinois, allegedly
made the calls to complain, according to a Kendall County Sheriff's Office
report shared by The Smoking Gun.
Officers went out to Skopec's home around 1 a.m. Wednesday
to investigate and said Skopec "refused to comply with orders from
deputies," according to a sheriff's spokesperson, and he was arrested for
obstructing or resisting a peace officer.
Should have bought a Blackberry, or a Samsung or an HTC....
That’s it: I’m orf to have a
piss on the Leccy meter
And today’s thought: “If we go
into the red next year... I shall have to give up polo.” 1969.-Prince Philip.
