Cold, calm and still dry at the Castle this first of April
morn, the garden is almost sorted, the Castle is shining like a new pin and his
Maj has discovered the joy of pouncing on the stuff finally delivered by Royal
Mail and shredding it before I can throw it in the recycling bin.
It seems that local councils don’t want to take advantage of
the £250 million discovered in Son of a B.......aronet (and alien reptile in
disguise) George (my bins are emptied by servants) Osborne’s pants draw to
reinstate weekly wheelie bin collections, but instead want to use the dosh to on
schemes to increase recycling and collect only food scraps — not black bags —
once a week. One even applied for money for a fleet of “low carbon” refuse
trucks.
According to the Torygraph:
96 councils are not
applying for funds. Most of them have already abandoned weekly collections, and
58 of the 96 are Conservative authorities
34 will apply for
money but only to introduce weekly food waste collections, or increase the
number of homes covered, rather than bring in a full service
31 wanted money for
plans which will do nothing to bring back weekly collections, including sat nav
systems for rubbish Lorries, more giant communal bins and even “nappy recycling”
schemes
Two councils were
in the process of ditching weekly collections — but were still applying to the
scheme for funding for weekly food collections
Only 17 authorities
which currently have full weekly collections said they would apply for money to
guarantee their future.
Oh dear, what a “Pickle” Eric.......
A restaurant in Houston is offering what it calls the
Titanic Experience: a 10-course meal comprised of similar dishes served to the
ill-fated ship's first class passengers the night they met their
demise-allegedly.
The whole event lasts for four hours, from the wine and beef
appetizer to the after dinner cheese. To make the experience even more
authentic, guests are given the chance to sample a bottle of Armagnac brandy
from the year 1900 by the end of the night.
Cullen's restaurant special Titanic package was created to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking on April 15 and will
only set you back $12,000…
Num, num, num-not….bit too much salt for me…
A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he
fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield's
Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex
game.
He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his
backside, according to The Sun.
A&E nurse Trudi Watson said: 'He explained to me, quite
sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in the kitchen when he fell
backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.
'But it's not for me to question his story.'
And we all know that the clergy don’t tell lies…..
Apparently there is plenty of go-juice in Canada but a
dearth of maple syrup, an unseasonably warm winter is being blamed for a maple syrup shortage in much of North America this year, and
with a number of maple syrup festivals taking place in coming weeks
true connoisseurs of Canadian cuisine and culture are beginning to panic.
Mind you if that’s how they collect it no wonder there’s not
a lot of it-I suggest that they fill up jerry cans just in case...
And finally:
Yesterday a harem
of scantily-clad women strolled down Oxford Street in nothing more than their
underwear.
The gang risked
causing a pile-up on the busy road as they merrily flaunted their bodies in a
variety of lingerie.
The stunt marked
the opening of the new Ann Summers store on nearby Wardour Street, as well as
National Cleavage Day this Saturday.
NCD is held
annually to celebrate women's independence and power in their careers and
relationships.
The recruited crew came in all shapes and sizes to show
prospective Ann Summers customers that there's something for everyone inside
its new store.
That’s it: I’m orf to check out my
apps
And today’s thought:
Keep an eye out for spaghetti trees

"Why do I keep missing these things?"
For probably the same reason as I do, Angus-the-alluded.

Can't remember how I landed on this web page? Probably 'topless protesters' :)
I think it's NCD day every day in Italy, given the amount of cleavage we show over here - you should pop over, Angus!

Those were the days bernard the bagger-and remembering Anne Summers-those were the nights as well:)
You'll go blind....:)
I would love to Welshcakes-but since "they" whacked on the extra flying tax the coffers can't stretch to it:)
