It was nice to see that the Facebook campaign to get Rage Against the Machine to the Christmas No.1 slot against the pap X-Factor song was a success. OK, I admit that I don’t know who won, nor the name of the song, but it just has to be shite! However, whilst I admire the anti-establishment stance behind the campaign …
Fair target
Now I don’t very often agree with Supermarket policies, but I must say I’ll back them up about the ‘ginger’ Christmas card. If we can’t take the piss out of Gingas, what’s the world coming to? A quote on the BBC web site said: ‘she was shocked when she saw the card: “I picked it up and I couldn’t believe …
Horse re-spotted!
I saw the hi-vis horse again last night. In fact, I saw two of ’em. Not only that, somebody else saw them too. And I wasn’t drunk. So there!
Hi-vis horse?
Well, I know I was drunk at the time, but I did see a police horse wearing a yellow dayglow vest in town last night, even if nobody else saw it. Which just goes to prove the point in my previous post about everybody and his dog wearing them nowadays. And just to prove a point, here’s the dog. Now, …
How do they know?
Now here’s one that’s been bugging me for years. Perhaps someone out there knows the answer. If so PLEEEEASE post a comment! You know when there’s a big accident or a grizzly murder and there is hardly anything left of the poor bugger to name them from? So the forensic peeps turn to dental records to identify the body – …
The Holywood Swallow.
Who shall I have a go at today? I know! Those idiots who throw their heads back when swallowing an aspirin or some such other pill. What the fuck’s all that about? “Oooh, it’s hard to get down”, I’m told. Bollocks! An aspirin’s about as small as you can get (except for a microdot… so I’m told!). What about when …
Superstitious?
Well I’m not, but… As I was getting out the shower yesterday, there was a hair in the bath formed into a perfect pound symbol. Now does that mean I have money coming to me, or a big bill to pay? I’ll let you know when it happens. Meanwhile, back to the Twilight Zone. Do do do do, do do …
Bloody bees!
There has been a recent report by scientists about the alarming drop in the number of the bee population. The reason for the demise of bee colonies, they say, is unexplained. Well, they haven’t looked very far. For I can reveal today where all the bees have disappeared to. Now the warmer weather is coming, I have started opening the …
What’s happened to fruit?
I was walking past the market yesterday and was enticed by all the lovely displays of fruit. Now, I don’t buy much fruit any more because it’s generally shit. But this looked so good, I succumbed to the appetising display of colours – reds and yellows and pinks and greens, orange and purples and blues – thank you Cilla. I …
Don’t hurt its legs!
There was a shriek from the bathroom this morning. The little lady had discovered a ‘tarantula’ in the bath. “It’s that big” she says, holding hands out that would easily encirle a dustbin lid (the old-fashioned corrugated type, not a wheely bin). The offending creature was, in fact, about an inch wide. Anyway, I ejected the helpless thing out of …
