A tale of modern day England from the BBC – whilst reading have a think to yourself of the costs involved here : A two-year-old boy fell into an eight-foot (2.4m) deep hole which suddenly opened up in the garden of his family’s south Derbyshire home. At 0945 BST, fire crews went to Newhall […] Whoever coined the phrase staycation should be publicly flogged and placed in a gibbet as a warning to others. Fuckers. That is all – carry on! Tweet Via Bloomberg, an interesting little tale about the days following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers (emphasis mine) : “Lehman’s books were in such a mess that I don’t think they knew where they were,” Elizabeth James, a director of Barclays’s futures business, testified today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. James worked on Barclays’s […] Being in a half grim Bank Holiday mood assisted by foul weather for August, the following seemed appropriate : If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever. George Orwell Cheerful bugger wasn’t he? Tweet Not the usual musical interlude but a pretty damned good effort using two balloons and a wooden box. _ Ballon Bass And Box Jam – Watch more Funny Videos […] Interesting little chart spotted over at ZeroHedge showing how real men run a country into the ground. Why pussyfoot around like the UK with 20% debt to run your country when you can match each tax dollar with a new shiny dollar in debt.

After reading the following article, I would suggest asking for the vegetarian menu : A sick internet joke or a serious business proposition? A restaurant in Germany has been conducting an advertising campaign for people to […] Switzerland, better known for cuckoo clocks and mountains (although cuckoo clocks are actually a German invention) seem to have quite a reputation for annoying the EU chattering classes these days.

Today whilst reading Pravda […] Reading BBC news earlier, I came across another example of lamentable reporting involving bugger all facts and contorted conclusions. Introducing the article itself (emphasis mine) : An undercover investigation into UK car garages suggests the vast majority miss simple mechanical faults, consumer watchdog Which? has said. Which? took cars with four deliberate faults to […] Madder Mortem from Norway. Where dream and day collide. Brilliant! _ Tweet Via ZeroHedge, the following article on the start of the war of word between Iran and the USA’s middle east mouthpiece Israel. As has been widely anticipated, Iran is currently in the last stages of preparation before pushing the On button for its brand, spanking new (and 20 years in the making) nuclear power […] One of my Estonian co-conspirators sent the picture below as he knows how much I like SQL.
