Damp, dismal and a fair amount of positive numbers in the
liquid metal gauge at the castle this morn, the Fallic Glu still has its hold
on moi, I am “glowing” a bit more than gently and have just returned from the
stale bread, gruel and his Maj’s food run dahn Tesco, still dodging the
internet robots and watching as the total on the receipt climb to new heights.
Bit late today-having all sorts of problems with the
interweb thingy..
It seems that our NHS may need an emergency cash bailout before the next general
election.
And apparently it is all the fault of us old farts: Alien
reptile in disguise George (you are all in it, but we are still rich) Osborne reckons
that despite the £20 billion cuts and “extra money” for the old girl there will
not be enough to provide care for the growing number of elderly patients and
meet the rising cost of advanced medical treatments.
Well, excuse me for not shuffling orf this mortal coil.....
British gas has seen a 30% fall in operating profits at its
residential energy division to a mere £522m.
The firm blamed
lower consumption due to good weather and improvements in energy efficiency.
"2011 was a
tough year, both for Centrica and our customers," said chief executive Sam
Laidlaw.
I don’t consider a
£522m profit “tough”; more like a rip orf....
Footage claiming to feature the best UFO sighting ever
recorded has been released on YouTube.
Reported to have been captured from a moving car near
Roswell, New Mexico – the site of one of the most controversial conspiracy
theory incidents in US history − the clip has been viewed over 10,000 times.
Stephen Hannard, of Alien Disclosure Group UK, uploaded the
eerie recording of the flying saucer.
He commented: “Possible leaked footage of a UFO arriving
then landing at an unknown location in New Mexico.”
His speculation continued: “Could be one of ours, CGI, or
could be the real deal. As Always You Decide.”
Odd thing is that this “UFO” seems to have the American “star” on it.
A giant 27-pound
lobster has been caught off the Maine coast, but it won't be going into a pot
of boiling water.
Maine State
Aquarium Director Aimee Hayden-Rodriques says Cushing shrimp fisherman Robert
Malone caught the monster crustacean in his nets Friday. He gave it to the
Department of Marine Resources to deliver to the aquarium, which the DMR
operates in Boothbay Harbour.
The beast weighed
in at 27 pounds and measured nearly 40 inches long. It was dubbed Rocky because
it was caught in the Rockland area, but Hayden-Rodriquez says it could have
been named for Rocky the boxer because its claws are big enough to pack quite a
punch.
Hayden-Rodriquez
says Rocky will soon be released into the ocean because he'll fare better in
the wild.
Rocky go home....
Last week in Taiwan, a gaggle of young girls flaunted their
assets on Taipei’s MRT subway line — all in the name of saving the world, of
course. Mirroring the famed “No Pants Subway Ride” that has exploded in
popularity in New York due to the efforts of groups like Improv
Everywhere, the women (and some men) bared legs and smiles to a sea of gawkers
in order to raise environmental awareness.
The group boarded the MRT at 9am to the shock of commuters
and workers alike, and were surrounded by cameras in no time. When asked about
their motives, they responded that they wanted to inject some excitement and
liberation into their normally monotonous life, while also promoting energy
conservation and reduction of carbon emissions (presumably by attracting
attention to Taiwan’s MRT).
Nothing to do with getting on the telly then.....
And finally:
Every year, for 84 days in a row, the sun would disappear behind a 1,600-meter
high mountain in the town
of Viganella. As a result, the town with 197 inhabitants would be plunged into
near-total darkness.
Thanks to the work of Midali, a large eight metres wide by five metres tall mirror has just been
installed in November to bring light to this town during winter.
Workers also installed a powerful "altazimuth"
computer that would move the mirror around so as to capture the sun's rays
and convey them on the town's square for up to eight hours a day
That’ll bugger up the Leccy companies profits....
That’s it: I’m orf to see if
I can get cheaper water.
And today’s thought:
