Little 'ole Wine Drinker Me

I am a British child. I am fifteen.
I am a Spanish child. I am fifteen.
I am a French child. I am fifteen.
The Brit Government wants to stop alcohol in the house.

No more wine with dinner.
The Brit Government has bred Vicky Pollard.
Who is right?.

Feed the birds, an ASBO a bag.

A friend of mine from the village has an 80 year old mother.
A grand old lady from a good family.
Last week she received a letter from 'the authorities'.
This letter warned her against feeding birds in her garden due to the threat of vermin.
The next step, apparently, an ASBO.
The particular small village has oodles of open space, space to have wildlife and all the things that we don't see in town.
That this lady of previous good character should in her 80s be threatened with a potential jail term, on the basis of an anonymous letter, beggars belief.
Last week her son was refused entry onto a local bus.
Last week her grandchildren were left standing in the rain when a local driver refused to pick them up.
What has happened to this family to drive them into the land of the Jukes and the Kallikaks?.
Could it be that one of the family members is foremost in the fight to uncover local Council 'sharp practise'.?
More to follow, I am sure.

The Beeb 5 'o' clock news made me laugh

Just heard on the Beeb 5 'o' clock news :
'The death of Boris Yeltsin was confirmed by spokesman Alexander Smirnoff.'
What can you say to that?. Hic.
The death of Comment is Free was confirmed by spokesperson Georgina Henry.
Any other suitable news stories and spokesmen to match?.

Tags For All Bloggers.

This house thinks that Anticant and Jose should be required to wear electronic tags at all times.
Discuss.
Having seen the suggestion from the science minister that 'older people at risk' should be required to wear tags I just had to think of my father and mother.
Not a hope in Hell of either of them conforming (and my father is long departed).
He would be turning in his grave to see what is happening here.
This is just a straw man from the government which will be swept away in favour of implanting chips in the 'old dears'.

Waddya wanna say, Today?

This is the laziest of lazy laziness from a lazy blogger who is always on the run.
Fancy a jog along for a while?
This is the place to get it off your chest.
Depending on my mood, I may moderate this strictly. Or not. Suck it and see.
Take a chance - on any subject that takes your fancy.
At the moment, it is a 24 hour shop of the open thread.
