Earache, but a free suntan?
Apparently some TV adverts are being shown with sound tracks that are far too loud.
Actually, for Phyllosan and Saga promo’s, to some of us that’s quite a boon. But there is, I feel, another problem that may loom as TV sets grow in size.
A year or so back I ripped-out our fireplace entirely (the council [...]
Predictable Pop? It must be.
Mmmm….despite being old and decrepit I felt strangely ‘at home’ last night while watching The Brit Awards thingy. Not that I mind any of the acts that performed or appeared. In fact I quite like ‘one-off’s’ – such as Lady GaGa – good songs and always something fresh – ish to watch. Lily Allen too [...]
Mmm…inflated?
I’ve not really been checking the recent ‘inflation’ figures – mainly because stuff like that is totally useless info’ if you just want to pull a quid and buy a loaf.
But anyway I trot off to erm…well…the beeb website I thought initially ( )
Yes, there was a piece on ‘inflation’.
Apparently there are TWO [...]
Selling short!
So there’s me posting me ebay stuff, “…first class recorded please…”, while, behind me a bloke is drilling the side wall of post-office to stick up a board for summat.
I get me posting done (it’s kind of electronical) and the lady give me my change – then KAPOOF! The whole post-office is in darkness! Yikes! [...]
Mmmm….
Oooooh! Latest scam….erm, sorry, scheme, coming from the poli’s seems to be some form of Death Tax??? It’s supposed to fund your old age. Mmmm…I’ve sort of heard all that crap before….”…your private pension is to fund your old age…”
Erm, by the time I reached ‘old-age’, most of my private pension had already gorn! Some [...]
21 Hour Week?
It’s on the bbc news website….people are on about only working a 21 hour week!
OK. I know quite a few people who would just LOVE to have 21 hours of PAID work per week!.
But erm, what about the kind souls that actually PROVIDE that work? (JOBS! bozo!) Can they also just work 21 hours per [...]
No Joke!
Yesterday I read about all the empty High-Street shops all over the place. It’s really bad in Wolverhampton (they say) with about 1 in 8 shops closed!
Of course there are myriad reasons given…
But then, later, I was reading our local freebie ‘newspaper’ and apparently our local council (Bury) is to introduce fines for ‘queue-jumping and [...]
Joke Time!
Birmingham council has said that it may have to axe up to 2000 ‘jobs’. (It employs about 52,000 people).
Till now these 2000 people work very hard for the council and, in return, get paid enough cash to live on.
Once made redundant the 2000 people will do bog-all and still get enough cash to live on.
amatuer [...]
Joke Spot!
Yes, my son said write really funny-stuff on your blog. Ok. But really I don’t wanna write anything even vaguely political – BUT!!!! When I stop rolling about on the floor laffing:
The independent standards authority has told some naughty m.p.’s to repay £1.12 million pounds.
This sounds GREAT on the face of it, until [...]
Tut’s wheels…
Apparently, when they discovered Tutankamun’s tomb at The Valley of The Kings as they now call it, they found loads of artifacts in an ante-chamber.
Among them was a pair of wheels. Yes, wheels.
Of course the Egyptologists said, “Ah! These are King Tut’s CHARIOT wheels!”
All well and good, until you take a look at the places [...]
