Not a lot of temperature at the Castle this morn, and allegedly
it will be the last day of clement weather for a while, as I have sorted out
the garden and we could do with some sky water I don’t mind that much but I
think we will be left wanting.
It seems that some departments attached to the Piss Poor
Policies Millionaires Club Coalition have been splashing out on fripperies.
The Dept of ‘Elf has ordered an “urgent review” after it was
revealed that it spent more than £100,000 in three months on "tea and
biscuits".
Silly Billy’s crowd managed to piss away £214,059 for
refreshments at the Home Office.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport planted £3,527 on
cut flowers and pot plants and the Foreign Office and its trading arm FCO
Services exported £151,990 on taxi contracts over four months last year.
But apparently back at the Dept of Elf they have an excuse-a spokesman insisted the £109,017 biscuit bill was a marked improvement on the first three months of last year when officials managed to spend £137,000 on light refreshments and in 2010 when the spending reached £194,000.
And the ever useful Tory reason-"This
spending relates to a hospitality contract that was started in 2005 under the
previous administration”.
Oh well, that’s alright then....
Routine operations and doctor's appointments may be
cancelled for 24 hours if doctors vote to take industrial action over pensions,
the British Medical Association said on Thursday night.
Although the BMA's leaders ruled out a total strike, for
reasons of patient safety, they have always made clear all other options were
on the table. Stopping all but emergency work was the most radical possibility.
Allegedly "The action would be likely to involve the
postponement of routine operations and non-urgent outpatient appointments in
hospitals. GP practices would remain open and staffed so they could see
patients in need of urgent attention, but routine, non-urgent appointments
would not be available on the day of action."
That’ll really hurt the BUPA enrolled rich gits in the
cabinet....
The show, hosted by Amanda Byram and Top Gear's Richard
Hammond, will return for one more series in its usual teatime Saturday slot
before being shelved.
A BBC spokesperson said: 'After four very successful series
of Total Wipeout - and one series of Winter Wipeout - the BBC has taken the
decision that the next series, due to transmit later this year, will be the
last.'
Total Wipeout sees 20 contestants kitted out with elbow pads
and a helmet as they attempt to navigate a padded assault course without
plummeting into water below, with rounds including Sucker Punch, the Cradles of
Doom and the notoriously tricky Big Red Balls.

Oh joy....worth every penny of my license fee....
A wealthy oil sheik managed to write orf his brand new Aston
Martin worth nearly a quarter of a million pounds on the way to a business meeting.
The multimillionaire from Kuwait, 37, took his £200,000
wheels for a drive in between meetings when he veered off the road as he tried
to overtake a cyclist with another car coming towards him in the other
direction.
With the car burst into the flames after it came to a stop, the driver was fortunate enough to scramble free in time before flames engulfed the vehicle to ash.
It took 55 fireman two hours to bring the blaze under control in the Austrian capital Vienna and what was remaining among the debris of the car was just the engine and four wheel hubs.
Still when he gets home he can take out the Bentley
Continental GT he has in his garage...
A brainless Pillock decides to slap a horse on the rump-and
gets his just reward.
And finally:
A World record was
set yesterday by 30 people who played miniature golf naked to raise money for
charity.
The event, held at
Adventure Island on Southend seafront, Essex, set the new world record of the
most naked people to play miniature golf in one hour.
The participants
raised more than £3,000 for The Prostate Cancer Charity.
Adventure Island
managing director Marc Miller said: “It’s been an absolutely superb day with
people all enjoying the chance to do something memorable, have good fun and
raise a large amount of money for a fantastic, charity, of which we are proud
to be patrons.
“People have
travelled from all over the UK to take part – from as far afield as Durham,
Devon and Birmingham – and we’ve heard some amazing stories from so many who
have been directly, or indirectly, affected by cancer and wanted to give
something back.”
Good for them-let’s hope they hit the right balls....
That’s it: I’m orf to count
stars
And today’s thought:
Cabinet meeting.

That's far afield?

I see the golf clubs were very strategically placed for the photo ;-)
Fair play to them though, that is a very good charity to support :-)
Only "tastful" pics on this blog CherryPie-aprt from the tastless ones of course:)
