Cold, clear, windy and wettish at the Castle this morn, the study
is still lacking in the malfunctioning machines dept, his Maj is still bringing
me worms and my lovely young lady has been and trimmed the head hirsuteness.
After wasting an hour or so of my life watching son of a
B.....aronet (and alien reptile in disguise) George (I need a torch to find my
rear exit) Osborne rambling on about resurfacing the A 12, polishing railway
tracks and taking away tax credits to pay for the 5.2% increase in “benefits” I
have come to the conclusion that our dearly beloved unelected Piss Poor
Policies Millionaires Club Coalition is about as much use as all the other self
serving gutless “political” vermin that is infesting the palace of Westminster
in the guise of MPs.
Basically we are fucked; “they” are going to do bugger all
to make our lives better-unemployment up, the deficit up, food up, “energy”
costs up, go juice up (despite the delay in tax), fares up (despite the pitiful
cut in over inflation rises), water up; pensions down, wages down and our standard
of living down.
If anyone is thinking of doing an e-petition calling for a
vote of no confidence in “them” send me a link and I will gladly sign it.
A raft of changes will be implemented in January represent
the biggest overhaul of the MoT test since car emissions were included in the
early 1990s.
Initially a motorist whose car fails to meet the new
standards will be given a period of grace to make the necessary repairs.
But by the end of the year the necessary repair will have to
be done straight away for an MoT certificate to be issued.
The overhaul, which was announced by the Vehicle and
Operator Services Agency, comes as the Government considers delaying the first
MoT test until a car is four years old and extending the interval between
inspections from one year to two.
However the tougher rules are being brought in to comply
with EU requirements aimed at ensuring that the testing regime covers the
latest innovations.
Restaurants around the world will soon use new DNA
technology to assure patrons they are being served the genuine fish fillet or
caviar they ordered, rather than inferior substitutes, an expert in genetic identification
says.
In October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially approved
so-called DNA bar coding – a standardised fingerprint that can identify a
species like a supermarket scanner reads a bar code – to prevent the
mislabelling of both locally produced and imported seafood in the United
States. Other national regulators around the world are also considering adopting DNA bar coding as a fast, reliable and cost-effective tool for identifying organic matter.
Yeah right-that’s going to work...
Becauseof the NBA lockout a group of nightclub owners appear to have taken things into
their own hands.
This morning it was revealed they want to form a basketball
league of topless dancers to attract attention to the sport while the NBA saga
drags on after nearly five months of crisis.
Rick's Cabaret group's league, consisting of dancers from
their 23 clubs, has reportedly said a former NBA star will be announced next
week as coach of the New York team, which will unveil its uniforms - we're
suspecting some of the most minute ever seen on a court -next week as well.
Gianna no last name, a player for the New York team has
reportedly said.
"The girls are really excited. We're practically
busting out of our tops.
They won’t be the only ones who are excited...
At the
£1,400-a-term International Sex School in Vienna, Austria, corporal punishment
is part of the curriculum, not a punishment.
Swedish-born
headmistress Ylva-Maria Thompson says anyone over the age of 16 can enrol as a
pupil to learn at what she calls "the world's first college of applied
sexuality".
Students live in a
mixed sex dormitory block where they're expected to practise their homework.
Added the school
head: "Our core education is not theoretical, but very practical. The
emphasis is on how to be a better lover.
"Sexual
positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands
on."
Raunchy adverts
showing a couple making love have already been banned by straight-laced
Austrian TV.
"This is
wrapped up in a very stylish way but it is just selling sex," said one
protester.
Thank him/her upstairs I’m too old for school. My old heart
couldn’t stand the strain.
And finally:
Authorities in the Swansea region are asking ships to keep
an eye out for a Vauxhall Corsa after it was submerged after being parked on a
slipway near Swansea yesterday afternoon.
Despite the
best efforts of coastguards, the search for the silver hatchback proved
elusive, with it slipping under their radar.
Luckily, the
two passengers managed to get out of the rental car before it slipped
underwater - although they probably won't be
getting their deposit back.
The couple
had been parked at near Knab Rock in Mumbles, Swansea, when the tide turned and
a local recovery service was said to have been unable to recover the vehicle.
A spokesman
for the Swansea Coastguard said: 'We broadcast navigation warnings every four
hours, and in that broadcast today we have asked vessels to look out for silver
Vauxhall Corsa.
'It is
possible it could be anywhere in the Bristol Channel.'
The good news is that the Corsa has landed on Mumbles beach.
That’s it: I’m orf to become
a scientist.
And today’s thought:
