First, yesterday's video offering...



Also, a bit of a quandry - who the hell do I vote for now? One thing is certain - it won't be the Tories, the current bunch, after they put in place MORE rules to stick the knife into the unemployed. Sign on at the Job Centre EVERY DAY? Do they get travel expenses (I suspect not)? Headline-grabbing ( Read more... )

Oh great - here come the "human rights" brigade again. This time, the "rights" being infringed are the "rights" of "travellers" to choose which laws they obey, and which they do not. However, I got really riled by all this "back and forth" in the courts about whether the Dale Farm evictions were legal or not when some arse-particle decided it was ( Read more... )

Yep, I took the chance... and actually, things weren't so bad. It was cold, that much is entirely not up for debate, but it was an honest cold - next to no wind, no rain or snow, some decent morning sun. All was well with the world ( Read more... )

The Student Fees "Protest"... "Demo-lition". Speaks volumes, doesn't it? That's the banner a good deal of these "students" were marching under when they stormed into Conservative Party HQ at Millbank yesterday.

Oh, so it was all down to "anarchists", was it? The University Anarchists Society, perhaps? Let's be honest; this was never going to be a ( Read more... )

Oh Joy, It's More Sh8 About The Election... New Liebour's "punch the unemployed" bombshell has made it crystal clear what the "key issue" in the election has to be (IMHO). The unemployed have very swiftly become the Great Satan in this campaign - it's like that garish embroidered tablecloth your granny gave you, which you only wheel out when you ( Read more... )

Today (Thursday) was never going to amount to much, as it was kind of a "wind-down" day, but I did manage to make an impact on the whole Mission 101 thing - I have a more organised, more complete list, and I am officially 2 for 101! I'm definitely feeling more "centred" about this particular endeavour, and I may yet come up with enough objectives ( Read more... )

To The Fucking System...If you tell someone they have to be at your offices ten minutes before their appointed time, and they do just that, then you absolutely NO RIGHT to look down your nose at that person FOR BEING EARLY, AND carrying out the exact task they arrived early to do. This particular "customer" is most glad that he doesn't have to put ( Read more... )

(quote) More news later, perhaps - unless I'm too busy writing, of course :D

...or sleeping at the keyboard.

Right... so Sunday didn't quite work out as expected. Sunday night was a wash-out, I barely saw a third of the football - but the Redskins did beat Oakland 34-13; the second 30-plus point game in a row, for the first time since 2006. Can ( Read more... )

Well, that's a relief - my appointment was entirely stressless, and the quick turn-around allowed me to do some more Christmas shopping - but I'm still stuck for ideas for anything for myself. It's a major pain in the backside that, all of a sudden, two-disk "Special Edition" DVDs have fallen out of fashion, as the movie industry makes the "big ( Read more... )

Type-up from Work Slot 3 is 99% done - a small section needs fine-tuning. I have an out-of-town appointment tomorrow, courtesy of TFS... I may be going on a "shopping" trip this weekend. Haven't had time to properly wind down yet - may still be a while before I manage that...

Must almost be time to pre-book for Avatar 3D at the local cinema, if ( Read more... )
