‘Tis wet, warm and wobbly at the Castle this morn, the study
is filling up nicely with broken do-dahs, and his Maj has got the hump because
he can’t go out.
And talking of his Maj-he has many, many toys, he has balls
of all shapes and sizes (apart from the two that are attached), a rat, several
mice and a variety of chasey things, but his favourite toy is.........a stick,
yes the thing he likes the best is a bit of shrubbery that he found in the
garden.
Just to prove it below is a short video of him with his
favourite toy (apologies for the bad quality).
Up
at the Lib Dem conference Cleggy has finally slipped through the tear in
the dimensional rift and has come up with the biggest load of old bollocks yet.
The Lib Dem boss
will issue a plea for some sympathy for the tearaways' plight in his set piece
speech to his party conference.
And he will
announce new £50million summer schools for 11-year-old potential troublemakers
in a bid push them back on track.
Mr Clegg's
"hug-a-young-rioter” approach is a marked contrast to the tough line
Premier David Cameron took on the rioters, blaming an underclass's moral
collapse.
But addressing the
faithful in Birmingham today, the Deputy PM will say: "You know what really
struck me? How so many of the rioters seemed to have nothing to lose.
Who voted for this arsehole?
While seven out of ten people in that age group do not
believe that they should pay for care in their retirement.
The findings are contained in the Real Retirement Report
from insurance company Aviva, which is based on interviews with 10,000
consumers.
The report shows that over-55s have seen incomes fall,
savings drop and debts rise as they struggle to cope with the rising cost of
living. The average monthly income for this age bracket has fallen by almost
£80 over the last three months to £1,216 due to spiralling inflation. However
25 per cent of people have just £500 or less saved in the bank.
Clive Bolton, a director at Aviva, said: “Our research
clearly shows that the majority of over-55s do not believe that they should
have to pay for care in retirement.
Maybe it is because WE HAVE ALREADY FUCKING PAID FOR IT!
Ex NASA “scientists” have teamed up to create a high-tech
tricycle.
Called the Treycycle,
it is powered by a Chrysler 300 3.5-litre engine, packs 260 horsepower and can
go from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds.
The part-bike, part-car is billed as the first
race-engineered but street-legal three-wheeled vehicle.
There is apparently already a waiting list of 150 for the
tricycle, which is being built in the shadow of Launch Pad 39A, where shuttle
Atlantis once stood.
They aim to build two every three weeks in the first year of
production, which is set to start next month
Michael Shulman, from promoters Emerging Growth Institute,
said: "You can be sure this is going to fly."
I hope not, but Wallace and Gromit would be proud.
Temperatures will
fall sharply over the coming months and are forecast to drop below average for
the time of year.
Long-range
forecasters at Exacta Weather have also said that we should brace ourselves for
another brutal winter from December through to February.
James Madden said:
"As we head towards winter, I expect to see the first signs of some
moderate to heavy snowfalls as early as October or November in certain parts of
the UK.
"I expect
December, January, and February to experience below-average temperatures, with
the heaviest snowfalls occurring within the time frame of November to January
across many parts of the UK."
The Met Office also
warned that we should expect colder-than-average nights at the beginning of
October, which would bring with them the chance of overnight frosts. The
Midlands and the South-east are expected to bear the brunt of the cold snap.
Oh joy; I must send the butler out to stock up on fat
teenagers.
Men really are grumpier than women – especially in front of
the camera.
A study of more than 1,000 photographs in student year books
found females far more likely to smile for the camera than males.
Psychologist Dr Nicolas Gueguen, who led the research,
believes teenage girls associate smiling with attractiveness from role models
such as actresses, female pop stars and models.
But boys’ role models – including rock bands and sport stars
– tend to be sulkier and moodier.
Dr Gueguen said: “Women were more likely than men to smile
expansively when photographed.”
No surprise there then.
More than 31,000
scientists have signed a petition denying that man is responsible for global
warming.
The academics, including 9,000 with PhDs, claim that
greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are actually beneficial for
the environment.
The petition was created in 1998 by an American physicist,
the late Frederick Seitz, in response to the Kyoto Protocol a year earlier.
It urged the US government to reject the treaty and said:
"The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment,
hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare
of mankind."
It added: "There is no convincing scientific evidence
that human release of ... greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable
future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of
the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that
increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon
the natural plant and animal environments."
The petition was reissued last year by the Oregon Institute
of Science and Medicine, an independent research group, partly in response to
Al Gore’s film on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth.

Jack
Mord is asking $1million for a photo of a man, believed to have lived in
Tennessee around the time of the American Civil War, who has a resemblance to
a Hollywood star.
Mr Mord, a dealer in antique images, believes the photo is
of Nicolas Cage himself and proves the actor is a member of the 'walking
undead'.
The eBay listing for the photo reads: 'Original c.1870 carte
de visite [a type of small photograph] showing a man who looks exactly like
Nick Cage.
'Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of
walking undead / vampire... who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75
years or so.
'150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of
a cult, or a talk show host.'
The seller claims he found the photo at the back of an album
of Civil War-era portraits, but he noticed there was something inconsistent
with the other pictures.
He said: 'All of the other people in the album, living and
dead, were identified by name - this man was not.'
That’s it: I’m orf to grow
some bacteria.
And today’s thought: "The shinbone is a device for
finding furniture in a dark room."

Loved the vid-clip. :)
I assume you were kicking the stick along the floor for him to chase. When mine were young they chased most things that i threw. The funniest was - before mowing the lawn I would clear windfall apples by throwing them over into the hedge. Without fail, Wesley would go haring off after them! (Although not retrieving them!)
OAP's not having £500 of saving?
"...based on interviews with 10,000 consumers."
If anyone stopped me in the street and asked how much I had saved up - I'd tell them where to stick their 'clipboard'!!
I was throwing it with one hand and videoing with the other Bernard the apple picker, you obviously haven't trained Wesley properly:)
More than a Monkey eh?
Who voted for this arsehole?
Considerably more than are going to vote for him next time around.
Nick Payne did not know the difference between an android and a cyborg. Buy mugs and shirts numbnuts sponsor word.
Let's hope you are right James:)
