Scottish quiz night madness

I’m not going to write an in-depth examination of the new laws passed in Scotland to try and reduce alcohol consumption or even argue against all of them. All I’ll say is that all you non-smokers who like a drink down your local and who rejoiced when the smoking ban came in had better start [...]

Not my ‘Digital Champion’

Where do you fucking start? Well, here or here might be a good place. Olympic aim to get Britons online Speaking to BBC Business Editor Robert Peston, Ms Lane Fox said she wanted a “virtual race” to coincide with preparations for the 2012 Olympics.

Shoot ‘em all

It’s bad enough living in close proximity to other people – although if they’re reasonably civilized it can be OK. Other people’s dogs are quite another matter. It’s the fucking barking that gets me. I’m assuming that when a dog owner lets his dog out into the back garden it’s for a crap or some [...]

A spew addition to the Blog Roll

Mr Nesbitt would like to spew all over you. If you’d like to take him up on his offer then RantinRab will be more than pleased to shower you with his mad droolings. Quite frankly, you’d have to be a bit of a cunt to pass on it.

Children and risk

Two stories have really captured my imagination today – that of Jaycee Lee Dugard who was abducted 18 years ago, and that of 13 year old Laura Dekker who wants to sail solo around the world.

Chemtrails = con trails

So, I’m out in the garden enjoying a nice sunny Sunday with a cold beer and a smoke and my son asks me, ‘Have you ever heard of chemtrails?’ ‘No,’ I reply. ‘What are they?’ And he tells me about them. An ordinary contrail (or vapour trail as I always used to call them) like [...]

More Doncaster mayoral follies

Mr and Mrs Midgley from the CAPC and an interested party When it comes to woolly thinking, woolly expressions come in handy – expressions like ‘political correctness’. Ask the many people who use the term ‘political correctness’ what exactly it means, and five will get you ten that very few of them will come out [...]

Fair stood the wind for France…

Off to warmer and sunnier climes for a while. If you’re thinking of burgling my house, my son is house-sitting and he’s a bigger cunt than I am – with several martial arts trophies. He’ll be all to willing to rip off your head and stick it up your arsehole. Toodle pip!
