I have moved.

Please bear with me while I settle in to the new place.

Follow me if you like.

Eat your greens.

So the government is planning on throwing a couple of hundred quid at mums-to-be for them to buy fruit and veg’. I pondered this for about 30 seconds, and it occurred to me that those mums who would buy them anyway, aren’t going to spend the money on more, and those would be mums who weren’t going to buy any, still wont and the money will go on something else. What are our leaders after here ? Has Birdseye just bunged Gordy ?

I have recently been listening to a lot of Ska. I was of the age in the late seventies and early eighties during its rebirth. I love the Specials, Selector and The Beat. I still do, as do many others. That’s why I was more than disappointed to hear that the Specials are re-forming for a one-off gig at the 40th birthday party of an incredibly rich football chairman. Not for their fans though. The lengths to which people will whore themselves never ceases to amaze me.

Just back from a week in Turkey, I’m off to ponder the wit of those in power whilst drinking my duty free allocation.

Chip and bin.

Councils have a master plan. We are going to be paying for rubbish removal by weight. This revelation has left me wondering if the powers that be regularly take mind altering substances. A chip in our bins will allow the council to send each home a bill. Do you really think that everyone will be honest and only put their rubbish in their bin ? As soon as you put your bin out to be emptied, the sneaky rubbish cuckoos will be out depositing their black bags in other people’s bins. Fly tipping will reach unheard of proportions and our streets will be awash with unadopted detritus. If this plan goes ahead, rats will rule the earth.

As for David Cameron, his plan of removing the right of offenders to apply for their driver’s license until a year later than they should is just as fucking daft as the rubbish collection plans. Are we to believe that a young offender will be remotely arsed that he can’t get a license ? He will just drive anyway. Cameron uses the same logic that says illegal immigrants won’t come here because they can’t get an ID card.

Two contenders for a bluetealeaf sponsored thinking monkey for the stupid.

Good stuff.

Easy on your ears, this is my recommendation for what's left of our miserable summer.



Listen and enjoy.
