Oodles of solar stuff at the Castle this morn the garden has
been fettled to the nth degree, and I have had to wash the sheet, duvet and
cover because it is a bit damp from my melting bod over the hot dark thing.
As I put a nice clean sheet on the four-poster his Maj came
in from exploring the grounds and ran right across it leaving a nice set of
dirty paw prints-make that I have had to wash the duvet, cover and two
sheets....
Someone in the on holiday number 10 yesterday ruled out
offering an amnesty for illegal immigrants and failed asylum-seekers still in
Britain.
The move has previously been supported by Boris Johnson, the
Mayor of London. But Prime Monster U-Turn Cam’s spokesman said: "That is
not something we are considering."
His comments came after it emerged that the UK Border Agency
is working its way through a backlog of more than 275,000 cases – equivalent to
the population of Newcastle.
Wonder how many it will be after the underwater Olympics?
Physiotherapists
and podiatrists (feet and ankle stuff) in England are to get the right to
prescribe medicines by themselves.
Ministers agreed to
the change in the law after carrying out a consultation, but it will be 2014
before it is fully rolled out.
When physios and
podiatrists do start prescribing they will become the first in the world to be
given such powers.
And it will mean
patients do not have to go back to GPs to get drugs such as anti-inflammatories
and painkillers.
Health minister Lord Howe said: "By introducing these
changes, we aim to make the best use of their skills and allow patients to
benefit from a faster and more effective service."
That should help our medal count....
After working for
eight years, Ji Xingang's bomb-defusing device is now used by many public
security bureaus, fire stations, as well as oil and gas companies throughout
China. Wang Ru reports.
For eight years, Ji
Xingang worked relentlessly on his bomb defusing invention, modifying and
improving the device. It was originally a hobby and he never thought it would
be put to use. But the timing was perfect. He completed his project in March
2010 and in June 2010, someone from the public security bureau of Shijiazhuang,
capital of Hebei province, found use for it.
The conventional way to defuse unexploded bombs was to
transport them to remote localities and detonate them. But nobody could predict
whether the bomb would explode during transportation.
So they moved it to nearby open ground.
According to Ji,
there is a huge market for such machines. In 2008, the Olympic Games imported
an anti-bomb water jet cutting machine from a German company, which cost
$200,000.
Since 2010, Ji has
been selling his water jet cutter to public security bureaus, fire stations, as
well as oil and gas companies all over China. In 2011, his cutter was bought
for the World University Games in Shenzhen.
Spiffing, but shouldn’t he be standing a bit further away?
A raffle will determine which civil servants in a small
Argentine town will receive their pay first, due to insufficient funds, its
mayor announced Monday.
"We will draw lots to decide the (order) of
payment," said mayor of Bialet Masse, Gustavo Pueyo, in a broadcast from
Buenos Aires private radio station Radio Mitre.
Pueyo said the raffle was approved by national mayoral
authorities and the first draw took place Friday, with 23 of the town's 92
employees receiving their pay. A second raffle is slated for Monday.
Home to 5,000 inhabitants, Bialet Masse is a tourist
destination in Cordoba Province, 750 kilometres (466 miles) northwest of Buenos
Aires.
Pueyo attributed the city's insufficient funds to a drop in
the funding usually received from the provincial government.
No wonder they want the oily Falklands-wonder if it would
work in the leaning tower of
Westminster....
A hedge clipped to look like an extended middle finger has
landed one gardener in trouble after police ordered the offensive bush to be
altered following a complaint.
Warwickshire Police have told creator Richard Jackson his
cheeky garden humour must be altered as it is considered a public offence.
In response, neighbours in Tamworth, Staffordshire, have
started a Save the Bush campaign.
'I carved the bush into a middle finger eight years ago and
there has only ever been one complaint about it, made recently,' explained Mr
Jackson.
'I was contacted by the police and they said the council had
been in touch because somebody had complained to them about it.
'Apparently, one person was offended by it and the police
said it was a public order offence.'
Warwickshire Police said if they receive a direct complaint
about the hedge they would deal with it proportionately.
Fuck orf......
And finally:
After driving out of the Spotless Auto
Laundry carwash on East Anderson Street Hackensack
an ‘elderly’ woman decided that her motor wasn’t “spotless” and drove it into
the river to finish it orf.
The woman, who was not immediately identified, apparently
hit the wrong pedal and she and her car ended up in the river, police said. She
was rescued by a carwash employee and a customer and treated at Hackensack
University Medical Centre.
The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. Police called city fire-fighters
about a car in the water at East Anderson and River streets, said Lt. Justin
Derevyanik of the Hackensack Fire Department.
Fire-fighters launched a boat to check the vehicle for other
occupants, found none and then secured the car by tying it to the shore line so
it could be towed from the river, Derevyanik said. They then helped a tow truck
crew retrieve the car.
The good news is that no fire-fighters were injured.
That’s it: I’m
orf to slow dahn a Dumpling Squid
And today’s thought:
Now where is U-Turn Cam sitting Olympics....
