A bit of solar stuff, even less white fluffy stuff, not a
lot of lack of cold and not even a drop of wet stuff at the Castle this morn.
Another year has passed at the speed of time for this daft
old fart; and at the unexpected age of sixty one I only have another five
months and nineteen days and I can apply for my bus pass.
As I wandered abaht the bedroom without my shirt on I could
have sworn I saw the glint of a telephoto lens in the distance-I must call my
lawyers...
And as this Piss Poor blog is still infesting the Blogosphere
it seems that pics of the Royal
rectum are acceptable while snaps of the minor Royal Norks are a no-no.
Double standards methinks...
Allegedly what’s his name has been warned by Liberal
Democrat activists that he must not allow George Osborne to impose more welfare
cuts in return for securing the party's long-cherished goal of a wealth tax.
The Social Liberal Forum (SLF), which is on the party's
left, fears that Mr Clegg, is preparing the ground for a Coalition deal under
which the Lib Dems back the Chancellor's plan for £10bn of welfare cuts in
return for moves towards a wealth tax such as a levy on homes worth more than
£2m.
The SLF will seek to tie U-Turn Cams fag’s hands at the Lib
Dems' autumn conference in Brighton, which starts a week today.
He should be used to a bit of bondage-after all he did go to

the future according to Thingy.
Do-da and Education

ditched in 2015, and replaced with what minister’s claim will be a more
rigorous system.Assessment will be
based on an O-level style single end-of-year exam.
That’s education set back another 25 years then...
Prince George's County cops announced they are installing
new cameras designed to keep a watchful eye on the Maryland counties speed
cameras, WTOP reports.
Since April, six speed cameras have been attacked by angry
citizens, according to WTOP. One camera was shot at and another burned.
Prince George's County Police Maj. Robert Liberati said he
doesn't think people's rage is a result of the cameras, per se.
"The roads are choked; there are lots of drivers on
them. I think traffic itself is the cause of frustration [toward speed
cameras]," Liberati said. "But, we have a duty to make the roads
safe, even if takes a couple extra minutes to get to your destination."
Anyone see the flaw in logic?
And in the town of Manaus the road became a rainbow when a
truck carrying 28,000 pounds of paint tipped over.
Two southeast companies that make U.S. military uniforms are
shedding hundreds of jobs, as the government looks to federal inmates for the
fatigues.
American Power Source makes military clothing in Fayette,
Ala., but its government contract expires in October. Federal Prison Industries
– which also operates under the name UNICOR will snag the work, and leave the
task to inmates. FPI has the first right of refusal for U.S. Government
contracts, under a 1930 federal law.
American Apparel, the Selma, Ala., based military clothing
manufacturer closed one of its plants and continues to downsize others due to
the loss of some of its contracts to FPI.
According retired Air Force colonel and spokesman Kurt
Wilson, the company laid off 255 employees and cut the hours of 190 employees
this year alone so private workers end up losing their jobs to prisoners.

And finally:
A County Antrim farmer is celebrating after his pet bull
made it into the record books for being the shortest in the world.
Ryan Lavery says that Archie, who is 76cms (30ins) tall, was
originally destined to be made into burgers but, after he failed to grow
sufficiently by Christmas time, the family decided to keep him as a pet.
Despite being officially named as the shortest bull in the
world, and being dwarfed by most of the other animals on the farm, Mr Lavery
still says that Archie feels he’s the big man, or short bull, on campus.
Ryan said that he was delighted that Archie, a Dexter bull,
had made it into the Guinness Book of Records.
'I knew Archie was small but I never realised he was that
small,' he said.
Bullocks?
That’s it: I’m orf to de-virus my
