Not much lack of cold, even less solar activity, a definite
dearth of atmospheric movement and oodles of ex skywater at the Castle this
morn.
Just returned from the stale bread, gruel and his Maj’s food
run dahn Tesco, well every little helps considering their financial situation.
Did even more coloured stuff application yesterday, I am
knackered, today’s daily Dei decorating tip-pay someone else to do it....
And Michael Gove, the education secretary reckons that primary school
children should learn and
recite poetry by heart as part of broader changes to the curriculum.
And to start them orf:
There was a young lady from Ealing
Who had a peculiar feeling
....
And:
There once was an MP called Hunt
Who was a really daft.....
Today’s lesson is to finish orf the above limericks without
using rude words...
Apparently patients are being treated so Piss Poorly because
they are wrongly viewed by doctors and nurses as simply "medical
conditions" to be dealt with rather than individual people.
According to the Royal College of Physicians medical staff
frequently have such little time to deal with them, that patients' full medical
and emotional needs are not met.
Patients are also being left in a high state of anxiety because staff do not
talk to them enough. The institution has joined forces with the Royal College of Nursing to publish new guidance today, urging hospitals to give the morning ward round the priority it deserves.
Not bad, it’s only taken them 60 bleedin years to realise
that....still it’s not as if they are being paid to do their jobs...
Some gormless knobhead in the Millionaires Club Coalition sideboard
has come up with a spiffing cunning plan.
A national identity scheme which will allow people to use
their mobile phones and social media profiles as official identification
documents for accessing public services.
Want a tax credit, fishing license or a passport?
Choose from a list of familiar on-line logins from social
media sites, banks and supermarkets to prove who you are.
Once you have logged in correctly by computer or mobile
phone, the site will send a message to the government agency authenticating
that user’s identity.
The system will be trialled when the Department of Work
& Pensions starts the early roll out of the Universal Credit scheme, a
radical overhaul of the benefits system, in April.
Users who access the Government’s online one-stop-shop of
public services will be asked to identify themselves by choosing one
organisation from a selection of logos. (This feature is called a “Nascar
screen”, in reference to the logo-filled livery of the famous American racing
cars.)
Splendid; what could possibly go wrong?
An eastern Kentucky health inspector says he has shut down a
restaurant after finding Roadkill in its kitchen.
Paul Lawson told WYMT-TV that he went to inspect the Red
Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg after customers complained to the
health department that it appeared employees had brought in a dead animal.
Lawson said he immediately shut the place down.
Lawson said the restaurant owner's son apparently picked a
dead deer up from a roadside and brought it to the eatery. Lawson said the
owner reported he didn't plan to serve the animal to customers; he planned to
feed it to his family.
The inspector said the owner wasn't aware of health
regulations, and will not face any fines.
He said the restaurant can reopen if it passes another
health inspection.
Num, num...
And dahn to the sarf coast, friends George Dalmon and Andy
Miles have been banned from an all-you-can-eat restaurant - for eating too
much.
For two years, ex-rugby player George Dalmon and his friend
Andy Miles helped themselves to five bowls of stir-fry each during their
regular sessions at the Mongolian barbecue.
But now the ‘greedy’ pair has been banned – because the
manager feared for his business.
They were called ‘a couple of pigs’ and told never to return
to the Gobi in Brighton.
The manager, who did not want to be named, said: ‘Basically,
they just come in and pig out.
‘We have put up with them for two years but I’ve had enough.
The restaurant invites customers to create their own dishes
from the buffet.
The chef cooks it and diners are invited to go up ‘as many
times as you wish’ for £12.
The manager said the voracious eaters stuck to water, they
never ordered drinks and never paid the optional service charge.
He added: ‘We are not a charity, we’re a business. It’s our
restaurant and we can tell people not to come back if we don’t want them to.’
Still all publicity is good publicity-isn’t it?
You go into a 7/Eleven, you buy coffee, and you choose a
blue cup or a red cup.
7-Eleven tallies the results, and correctly predicts the US election. It's called 7-Election and it's worked since 2000.
7-Eleven tallies the results, and correctly predicts the US election. It's called 7-Election and it's worked since 2000.
The blue cup is for Democrats and the red cup for Republicans. In 2000 and 2004 more red cups were chosen by coffee drinkers and George W Bush won those elections.
In 2008, the groundswell of public opinion swayed towards
blue-tinged java and Barack Obama won the election.
The current stock take across the states participating in
7-Election has Obama getting up 60-40.
Maybe we should try that here-using loo rolls...
Apparently a Thurston County, Wash., man says he managed to
shoot himself in the head with a .22-caliber rifle while fishing for salmon.
A sheriff's report says the man told deputies he fired a
shot into the Deschutes River on Sunday afternoon but the bullet ricocheted off
a rock and hit him in the temple. When he scratched the spot with his finger,
he says the bullet fell out of his head and into the river.
The tale came to light although the man went home and refused to tell his girlfriend how he had been injured. After he left again, she called 911. When deputies pulled over the man's pickup truck, he told them what happened.
The man was treated at an area hospital and released. The Olympian
newspaper says the man was not cited for any violations.
Apart from being a dickhead.
That’s it: I’m
orf to stay away from wetlands
And today’s thought:
The Angus Dei view of the world
