I think we have now reached the fortieth day (and night) of falling
skywater at the Castle this morn, his Maj doesn’t seem to mind and comes in
every half hour or so to curl up on my lap for ten minutes to dry out and
despite generous amounts of H2o we still have a hosepipe ban.
There was the expected drubbing for the Piss Poor Policies
Millionaires Club Coalition at the “local” elections, I don’t think it was ‘midterm
blues’ but the very few members of the populace that could actually be bothered
to make their mark telling all politicians that we don’t trust them and no
matter who is in power they are all the same.
Son of a B.....aronet and alien reptile in disguise George
(the quail I have just had for lunch has a bigger IQ than me) Osborne reckons
that mistakes in handling the Budget may have added to the Government’s
problems.
And that the so-called ‘granny tax’, ‘pasty tax’, and ‘charity tax’ and cutting the 50p top tax rate overshadowed his moves to take less tax from the low-paid.
And that the so-called ‘granny tax’, ‘pasty tax’, and ‘charity tax’ and cutting the 50p top tax rate overshadowed his moves to take less tax from the low-paid.
Writing in today’s flailing sail on Sunday, he says: ‘The
way the Budget was presented meant this message wasn’t heard. I take
responsibility for that.’
But despite this and the big Conservative losses on
Thursday, he would not abandon the Coalition’s tough austerity programme.
However he does “understand the voters' pain”....
Oh no he fucking doesn’t, he doesn’t have to worry about
paying the heating, Leccy, water, go juice and food bills or the rip orf
mortgage rates because WE pay them all for him and if he needs anything else he
can claim it on expenses or as a last resort dip into one of his bank accounts
for some of his millions-arrogant bastard.....
Allegedly Welfare-to-work providers are facing fraud checks
after investigations into wrongdoing.
One in five investigations into alleged fraud at
welfare-to-work providers over the past six years had "evidence of false
representation" – such as forging client signatures to claim fees – with
10 cases referred to the police, the Piss Poor Policies Millionaires Club
Coalition has revealed for the first time.
The figures help to uncover the full extent of misconduct in
the industry and suggest wrongdoing could go beyond crisis-hit A4e, which is in
the middle of a police investigation into alleged fraud.
A further 17% of 126 cases investigated by authorities since
2006 had "evidence of procedural non-compliance", the Department for
Work and Pensions (DWP) disclosed in an answer to a written parliamentary
question.
In total, 24 cases were found to have involved false
representation and 22 had procedural non-compliance meaning almost 40pc of the
126 cases investigated had evidence of wrongdoing.
The Dept of Witless Pillocks couldn’t organise a lazy lob in
a brothel....
It seems that Angus isn’t the only daft old fart about, John
Macdonald, from Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides, celebrated his 80th birthday at
the weekend by throwing himself 40 metres off Garry Bridge in Perthshire.
Mr Macdonald said: “I wasn’t afraid at all. I just wished I
could have had a swim in the River Garry as well.
I have had diabetes for 48 years and, when I was
lying in hospital in Rio in 1964, I reckoned I would be very lucky to live past
the age of 60.
“To do this then was special and I hope this gives
younger ones who have diabetes something to encourage them a bit: an old guy
like me managing to do a bungee jump.
Nice one, I hope he had plenty of Fixodent in
place.....
The US Forest
Service is considering explosives to move a bunch of frozen cows that died
after getting stuck inside a cabin at 11,000 feet in Colorado’s Rocky
Mountains.
The Aspen Daily
News reported that agency officials are worried about the high fire danger and
are looking at other solutions such as using helicopters or trucks.
The carcasses were
discovered by two Air Force Academy cadets when they snow-shoed up to the cabin
in late March. Officials believe the animals sought shelter during a snowstorm
and got stuck.
The cabin is
located near the Conundrum Hot Springs, a hiking area near Aspen in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area.
Or...they could use
chainsaws and get the barby out.....
Claude the Tasmanian giant crab was saved from death
when the fisherman who caught him sold him to a British aquarium for £3,000.
Now, after a 29-hour plane journey from Australia – where
giant crab meat is a delicacy – and two weeks in quarantine, Claude is ready to
meet his public.
He is the biggest crab on display in the UK and weighs a
mighty 15lb with a 15-inch shell – enough to make 160 crab cakes.
Claude is 100 times bigger than a standard UK shore crab.
Yet he is still a juvenile and will grow to double his weight.
Claude was caught off the coast of Tasmania last month, but
was sold to the Sea Life group along with two other Tasmanian giant crabs.
He will go on display at the Sea Life centre in Weymouth,
Dorset, on Thursday, and his two companions will be moved to other centres in
Birmingham and Berlin if Claude responds well to his new home.
Currently he is being kept on his own in a specially made
cylindrical tank, ten feet tall and six feet wide, but the aquarium will
introduce some coldwater fish once he is settled.
Despite being saved from the pot he doesn’t look very happy-a bit “crabby”?
And finally:
Staff at a Dunedin park has voiced concerns about a drinking game called
"possum," where players sit in trees and drink alcohol until they
fall down from drunkenness, the Otago Daily Times reported.
Dunedin
City Council spokesman Alan Matchett told the newspaper that local students
started playing "possum" at the city's botanic gardens roughly four
years ago, but the game has since gained popularity and it was not uncommon for
garden staff to have to chase people away.
The gardens are located close to the University of Otago, a
school with more than 20,000 students.
A university spokesman confirmed that university security
staff had assisted the local council in keeping an eye on drunken students.
"There have been two occasions earlier this year where
students have been located by Campus Watch [staff] in trees, drinking and
causing a public nuisance in the Botanic Garden," the spokesman told the
Daily Times.
"Because Campus Watch was involved in both cases, the
students were required to clean up their litter and to meet with the proctor
for disciplinary action."
For a proctology exam to see what happened to their brains....
And today’s thought:
The latest Coalition giveaway.

£3000 for crab that will only make 160 'crab-cakes'.
If they mean 'fish-cakes', that is bloody expensive at £18.75 each!
Even Tesco don't charge that.
