ENLIGHTENMENT .....

....hasn't reached some countries yet notably Pakistan and those unevolved Taliban. Shooting little girls who want to be educated! What's that about?



I read today of that little aresehole Kim Jong Un's latest contribution to the world. When learning that the vice-Minister of the army ' drank and caroused' during the official mourning period after the death of that even bigger arsehole, Kim Jong Il, Un's father, the little scrote ordered that he be got rid of leaving no trace. The mentally, emotionally and morally bankrupt North Koreans made the poor bastard stand on a predetermined spot where a mortar was zeroed in and he was blown up.



Remember what happened to Gadaafi? What's the bet that Kim Jong Un gets a rocket up his arse sometime in the future.


AAAAAAAAGH!

Up at 5AM today.

The Old Girl is off to Stewart Island this morning and has to be at the airport at sparrows fart.

I am off up North on the first bus so have to leave just after 7 so got up when she did.

How does Richard (of RBB) do it?

OCH AYE THE NOO!

So Scotland has 'independence' at last.

William Wallace, Rob Roy and my ancestors would have been pleased at seeing the sassenachs off.



Unfortunately nowadays the scottish spirit is quite diminished. Even Scotch is threatened with England now making a decent version. No, the Scottish spirit is more likely found in a can of overstrength lager.

BEING THE GOOD GUY



Willow our cat enjoys our company especially as she is left in the house alone during the week (we have someone come in to feed her each day).

If I am home on my own I leave the bedroom door open so she can come in and sleep at the end of the bed during the night.

When the Old Girl is here she closes the door as, being a light sleeper she finds Willow's coming and going a distraction.

This morning when Willow demanded to be let in I stayed in bed being the good guy and the Old Girl got up and locked Willow in at the other end of the house.

YAHOO IN BED WITH SKY

                                 




                   "Boks blitzed after half time"

Screamed the headline on Yahoo news when I turned the bloody computer on.

We don't subscribe to Sky Sports so watch delayed telecasts of rugby test matches.
Unfortunately when the games are overseas the delayed broadcasts are many hours later so the chances of finding out the result before watching are increased.

This morning I forgot and turned on the computer to see what the silly old ...  Richard (of RBB) was up to. And saw the rugby result. Bugger!

This was just too obvious I thought so did a google search on any affiliation between SKY TV and Yahoo. Guess what? There is a very strong one.

Are these bastards deliberately broadcasting the sports news in this way in order to drive viewers into subscribing to SKY Sports?

I think so.

U-TURNS

I don't mind U-turns in government when the result is good.
Very little with our current government impresses me. The PM is a joke. His deputy is a feeble prat and his ministers have almost all disgraced themselves over the last couple of years with arrogance, stupidity, lying, incompetence,  etc. Yes, I know, I could be talking about a Labour Government of a couple of years ago or indeed any government around the world but.....

The U-turn of Associate Immigration Minister Kate Wilkinson over the rapist Mike Tyson's visit is encouraging. Of course I could say " what the hell was the silly woman thinking" in granting a visa in the first place but that's water under the bridge. Let's be consistent and if the law says that convicted felons of major crimes (and rape is a major crime) are not allowed into the country then apply it.

SPACE JUNK

I saw on the news tonight the plan for the space industry to develop crafts to collect space junk.




This space junk apparently interferes with very impotant things.

Like, umm,

Like .... communications.

Now communications are important.

Without morse code for example the Titanic would have sunk and many lives would be lost ....oh, sorry ....

Nowadays communications are important.

It provides cell-phones, internet, Facebook, reality TV .....oh, sorry

 
And





=






Why can't those millions go to cleaning up this kind of junk or educating the morons not to drop it?


NIPPLES

Its cold today, my nipples stick out like bing cherries.

Actually I stole that expression from Catch 22 when Yossarian and the other aircrew were fantasising about the general's assistant. Heller said that the nurse had nipples like bing cherries.

I didn't know what a bing cherry was but I got a hard-on thinking about that as I'm sure did every other 14 y.o. who was reading Catch 22 at the time.

I've since found out what a bing cherry is. Here's a picture of one:


My opening line was literary licence as my nipples are not standing out that much, but it is cold.

Why do nipples stand out when its cold?

I wonder if Richard (of RBB) knows?

MAKING LIFE EASIER?

I bought an ipad3 the other day with a view to using it for: blogging; for listening to and reading books when I am on the bus; and for general stuff.

This has got to be easier than lugging a laptop around doesn't it?

I've wasted about 4 hours this weekend (my weekend doesn't finish until Tuesday) configurating and syncing the damned thing.

I hope I've done it correctly.

Whenever I assemble a shop-bought product I usually get it wrong.
