Day 47 of misty, murky and miserable at the Castle this
morn, and just to add to our pleasure it is muggy as well.
The study is less than half full of wonky wheelbarrows, his
Maj is still bringing me worms and the bruise on the elbow has reduced to the
size of the Isle of Wight and has almost stopped hurting.
Just got back from the stale bread, gruel and pussy food run
at Tesco-don’t tell anyone but they have His Maj’s Dreamies at £1 per pack.....
Reckons that although rising gas prices are set to push up
costs for consumers, energy saving policies will help to save £94 on household
bills by 2020,
The “Climate change Secretary” insisted the Government was meeting energy demand
at the lowest cost possible by insulating homes and steering away from a
dependence on fossil fuels. While the Government could not control rising world
gas prices, it could "soften the blow", he told Parliament, with
policies that would overall deliver a saving of 7 per cent on bills.
Bollocks-I want to live on the same planet as him...
According to Unite son of a B...aronet “Chancellor” George (alien
reptile in disguise) Osborne would need to work for just 18 months to win the
typical public sector pension of £5,600 in retirement.
Looking at the government negotiating team, Unite found an
average public sector worker would need to work for three working lifetimes to
earn Francis Maude's pension and two for Danny Alexander's pension.
The calculations are based on ministers' pension pots
if they were to retire at the end of the current term of office in 2015.
But remember-(all together now)—‘we are all in this together’
Hired by farmers as
a private security guard, Brooks Rucker patrols thousands of acres of Georgia
farmland on the lookout for thieves toting 5-gallon buckets.
He rarely comes up
empty handed. Since the fall harvest began Oct. 1, Rucker says, he and two
other guards have caught more than 160 culprits in the act. Some they let go.
Others get handed over to police. Either way, he's recovered thousands of
dollars' worth of stolen goods: mounds of pecans snatched from his employers'
trees.
"It's an
all-day hassle trying to keep these folks out," said Rucker. "You'll
pull into a pecan grove and they'll have a 10-foot extension ladder trying to
shake the pecans loose with poles. It's bad."
Prices have soared
as China has developed an insatiable appetite for pecans, while withering
drought in the southern U.S. has limited supplies.
In Georgia, the
nation's top pecan producer, farmers and authorities say criminals can earn a
tidy profit by stealing the nuts -- worth $1.50 or more per pound in smaller
quantities.
Bloody China.....
A French furniture
designer created a conversation piece - by encasing the wreck of a Ferrari
supercar in a coffee table.
Charly Molinelli,
from Corsica, was approached by a customer who wanted a talking point for her
living room.
Knowing his client
was a motor sports fan, he approached a friend who worked at a scrap yard that
was crushing a Ferrari F40.
The finished work took two months, with Mr Molinelli using
other recycled materials to complete it.
Hope he followed all the Elfandsafety rules....
A raunchy ad
campaign featuring busty women battling it out on a GAA pitch in skimpy undies
has been kicked into touch by the advertising watchdog.
Crisp firm Hunky Dorys has been skinned by the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland for launching its sexy GAA theme just a year after it branded similar rugby ads “sexist and exploitative”.
Crisp firm Hunky Dorys has been skinned by the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland for launching its sexy GAA theme just a year after it branded similar rugby ads “sexist and exploitative”.
And it accused the
firm of deliberately creating the ads – featuring models in low-cropped tops
and brief shorts – knowing it would get free publicity.
The SAI took
action after receiving 82 complaints from people and groups who thought they
were offensive, degrading and sexist towards women.
All is not hunky dory then....
A beauty addict
has blown £4,000 on plumping jabs to have the biggest lips in the world – but

In her pursuit of
the perfect pout, the nail technician has had 100 silicone injections, at a
cost of £40 each, but claims she still wants more.

think I look fantastic and it makes me happy.
Kristina,
who is single and has never had a boyfriend, had her first injection at 17
after being bullied about her looks at school.
Prefer the “before”.
That’s it: I’m orf to change
my diet.
And today’s
thought:
