Paid a visit to a local country pub on Sunday and I think it will be that last time they get my business. The problem? Well there is a rather nice beer garden where you can sit and watch the country views whilst having a pint and a fag and then there is the […] Back in the UK after some time in Estonia for a break from UK bollocks! The following (via Zerohedge) is a rather amusing take on US hypocrisy when it comes to aid to foreign nations :- _ _ […] Spotted in passing at Zerohedge, this made me chuckle : Tweet Mark Grant is always an amusing read and here is his latest missive reposted in all it’s semi-psychedelic glory, for it amused me : “For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the […] Video capturing the moment the Texas fertiliser plant went boom yesterday reportedly killing at least 70 and, if the video is anything to go by, probably many more. From CNN : On Wednesday evening, a fire at the plant suddenly exploded with a huge, deafening bang, throwing people to the ground blocks away. It […] Having always been fascinated by mechanical things, this one caught my eye rather quickly : It started life as a Russian 42 cylinder diesel radial engine putting out around 4000 hp and used in Soviet missile boats which had three of these beasts installed : As it weighed 5.4 tonnes in its […] The following headline on the BBC News landing page caught my eye in a “what on earth will they research next” kind of way (honestly!) : Only to be somewhat disappointed by the actual article : Scientists say they have published the most detailed brain scans “the world has ever seen” as part […] I think you will wear out your finger trying to open the cans faster than it evaporates from your glass … Tweet Nag, nag, nag … Today started for me at 04:30 when the radio alarm came on with an NHS advert reminding me that A&E and 999 are only for emergencies.

From the Torygraph, we have this : Nearly a third of parents believe it is “too dangerous” to let their children play outside in the snow, in case they slip on ice or get hit by a snowball, a survey has shown.

Article A : SKY viewers on unemployment benefits will only be allowed to watch documentaries, according to new guidelines. As part of a radical government overhaul of televised entertainment, those out […] The Wasp is knackered after a long day of wing flapping to return to this strange little isle, where it would seem the government is still as demented as a box of frogs : The prime minister said it was vitally important the government maintained its “credibility for deficit reduction” so it could continue […]  |
