Pink Pussies

A question for all my loyal readers out there in cyber space.

What do you think of pink pussies?

Personally I am not a huge fan of them myself, but apparently some people are.

I ask because I was reading the story of "Oi! Kitty", a white cat dyed pink (using safe non toxic food colouring) by its owner.

Oi! Kitty was found by some bloke coming back from the pub recently, and handed into the RSPCA.

The owner, having seen the publicity, was relieved that her missing pink pussy had been spotted and asked for it to be returned.

The RSPCA have duly done so.

However, they could not resist being a tad "Nannying", they popped round to give some "advice" as to how to treat pussies (even though no crime, harm, or mistreatment had been done to Oi! Kitty).

Now I am a great lover of pussies and other wee beasties, and fully support the work that the RSPCA does (indeed our own little pussy "Rosie" was adopted from an RSPCA cat shelter). However, given that no harm was done to Oi! Kitty (aside from it being hugely embarrassed, when socialising with its cat chums, at being dyed pink), was a "Nannytype" lecture really needed?

Booze Matters - Tesco

I see that Tesco are having a wee bit of trouble in applying for a licence to sell booze from their store in East Road Cambridge (between 11am-11pm).

The local police, and certain councillors, fear that "cheap" booze sold so near a school and "Jimmy's Night Shelter" could lead to a rise in alcohol related crime.

Errmmm...two points:

1 Supermarkets have rather tedious rules about selling booze to anyone who looks remotely under the age of 25 (unless they can produce an id). How likely is it that the store will sell it to the kids?

2 Does Cambridge not already have supermarkets, off licenses and pubs that sell booze? I seem to recall that it is full of them (indeed the local students are well known for imbibing in "Brideshead Revisited" quantities...yes, I know that was set in Oxford!).

It seems rather prissy to me for some people to be objecting to Tesco selling booze.

Nanny Colchester Knows Best

Colchester Council recently decided to spend some taxpayers' money on "Nannying type" advice to local parents, by way of 8 parenting guides advising parents about how to keep children safe under the auspices of the "Safer Colchester Partnership".

Eight?!

Why not just one?

The advice, all very "wise" but somehow bleedin' obvious, includes "don't let your teenagers carry weapons".

Fair enough, but those parents who are responsible will know that; those parents who are irresponsible won't read, or care about, the guides anyway.

Is this really necesary?

Booze Matters - Scotland's Retreat?

I see that Scottish Nanny has failed in her attempts to introduce minimum pricing on booze.

Game over?

Yes, and no.

Nanny never likes to be defeated, and therefore has identified another area of people's lives to poke her nose into.

Here is an extract from today's Press and Journal:

"..You have only to look at some of the figures issued recently by Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon. On alcohol, she claimed her proposals on minimum pricing would save more than £50million in the first year. A few months ago, she said obesity was costing £457million a year, rising to a predicted £3billion in 20 years."

Scottish Nanny, it seems, will be turning her attention to "overweight" people now.

Minimum prices on "fatty" food maybe?

The Dangers of Apples

I while ago I read a headline that said that Britain would experience a bumper crop of apples this year. I recall thinking at the time that, somehow or other, Nanny would find a health and safety issue with this.

As sure as eggs are eggs, I was right!

Yorkshire Coast Homes (YCH) is a charity that runs a housing association for elderly people in Scarborough. YCH recently became worried over the crab apples falling onto the street where their houses were located, seemingly YCH were of the view that these represented a "trip hazard".

Their solution?

They complained to the council, who sent some men with choppers along, who chopped down 6 trees.

The local residents were not best pleased as, not unreasonably, they found the trees to be an attractive part of the local environment and had not been consulted.

Factoid: the trees had been there for 35 years, without there being mass carnage on the streets caused by people falling over dropped crab apples.

A bit of an "overreaction" by YCH and the council wouldn't you say?

Patronising Bullshit

As I have noted before, and has been widely discussed by loyal readers on this site, the supermarkets are more than happy to do Nanny's bidding in order to "curry her favour".

I have just received this patronising piece of email bullshit from Sainsbury's:

"Dear Kenneth,

As autumn approaches, it's easy to start craving comfort foods. But with 100s of delicious recipes at Sainsbury's Diets, you can have comfort food without the calories!

Sainsbury's Diets is the convenient and flexible online slimming service designed to fit around you.

Plus, you will receive a tailored Body Shape plan for toning, Diet Buddy for online support and you will even be able to access Sainsbury’s Diets via your mobile to keep on track wherever you are.

Customer Services Manager,
Sainsbury's Diets"

A few observations on the above:

1 Why do Nanny and her acolytes assume that I will be unable to "control" my eating habits during the Autumn?

2 Why do Nanny and her acolytes assume that I am overweight (I am not), or about to become overweight (I won't)?

3 Were I to be overweight, what farking business is it of Nanny/Sainsbury's to pump out anti "fat" propaganda in this manner that implies I am unhappy with my body shape etc?

4 Were I to decide that I need to lose weight I am more than capable of using my intelligence, the internet etc to determine and work out the best way to do it...errmm...oh I know...eat less exercise more!

5 Is this not the same Sainsbury's that bombards us with TV and media adverts (especially in the run up to Christmas), encouraging us to gorge on fattening foods (eg mince pies, cream, cakes etc)? Hypocrites!

As I said, this is patronising bullshit; the supermarkets should stop aiding and abetting Nanny.

Help My House Is Falling Down

I was watching Sarah Beeny last night on "Help My House Is Falling Down", in which each week she comes to offer advice to people who (for reasons that escape me) have bought houses without conducting a full structural survey only to find that they are falling apart.

Anyhoo, last night featured a house with numerous problems; amongst which was a bowed wooden floor. The floor was duly ripped up and it could be seen that the joists, at some stage in the past, had been hacked at thus weakening their structure and causing the floor to bow and become unsafe.

Now, the logical solution would be to remove the weak joists and replace them.

Yes?

You would think that wouldn't you?

Well loyal readers I should point out that last night's house was of course Georgian, and therefore counted as a "listed" building, thus it came under the "protection" of one of Nanny's conservation officers.

Sarah informed the viewers that the officer had ruled that the joists must not be removed, but that extra joists could be put in.

Therefore, at extra expense, steel joists were inserted.

Please can someone tell me how leaving unsafe wooden joists, which will never be seen under a floor, and adding steel joists actually "preserves" our "cultural heritage"?

A house is meant to be a home, ie a "living" embodiment of the people who own it. Putting everything in aspic, merely because it is old, and refusing to allow sensible safety upgrades (when they don't affect the appearance of the house) is absurd.

Big Brother - Internet Eyes

Almost a year ago, last October, I wrote about "Internet Eyes":

"Internet Eyes (a private company) will offer up to £1,000 if viewers spot shoplifting or other crimes in progress, on the dubious pretext of combining crime prevention with the incentive of winning money.

The scheme is due to go live in Stratford-upon-Avon in November, and will stream live footage to subscribers' home computers from CCTV cameras installed in shops and other businesses.

If viewers see a crime in progress, they can press a button to alert store detectives and collect points worth up to £1,000."

A loyal reader has kindly advised me that Internet Eyes has been set up (according to "Get Wokingham") to monitor the store feed from Alworths, a shop in Wokingham.

Seemingly an investigation into the town's existing CCTV network had shown the camera feed was going back to a monitoring station in Reading, but no-one was watching it permanently.

CCTV, in theory, sounds great as a "crime prevention" tool.

However, it does not prevent crime, it merely observes the crime taking place. Unless someone in the monitoring station is alert enough, and the police quick enough, the criminals have already done their dirty deed and scarpered before the tapes are reviewed.

Allowing members of the public to access/use the feed as a form of "game show" is positively dangerous wrt privacy issues, and will bring out the very worst aspects of human nature (wrt snooping and nosiness).

This is a snoopers charter, there are more than enough saddos who have nothing better to do than watch other people doing "very little" (eg the "reality" show Big Brother).

We will become a nation of snoopers!

Silly Billies!

Now here's a daft thing, really pathetic in fact.

I was, the other day, Googling a bar in London and came across a review about it on a site called "World's Best Bars".

Fair enough, I clicked on the link and was confronted with a page asking me to verify that I was over 18 (by entering my date of birth) in order for me to to be able to be granted access to the site.

Quote:

"You need to be of legal drinking age to enter our website."

Why???

Needless to say, I didn't waste my time, and simply moved on to another site.
On the assumption that the site was not in fact some cover for porn or something, precisely why should an under 18 year old not read a review about a bar?

Do those who make up these rules assume that the mere reference to alcohol will cause an under 18 year old to become addicted to booze?

For good measure, there is also a link to "drink aware" on the date of birth entry form.

Falling Down

FALLING DOWN: Movie Trailer. Watch more top selected videos about: Falling Down, Robert Duvall

I was walking along The Strand yesterday afternoon, enjoying the sunshine and looking at some of my old haunts.

Then blinky, blonky, blimey...guess what?

I tripped over an uneven paving stone and fell flat on my face.

Today I have a limp and a grazed knee.

Am I suing the council?

Am I fark!

Educashun - A Portent of The Future

I was having a sauna the other day in my leisure club, and a fellow occupant sitting next to the "egg timer" (the sort with sand in), that all saunas have, was a lady student of around 20ish.

When the grains of sand had run their coruse, rather than sweatily lurching across her, I asked her to turn the egg timer over.

Answer:

"Certainly, but how do I do that?"

For clarity, it was an egg timer (ie an egg timer, attached to a piece of wood nailed into the wall).

Not a good portent for the future of this country, if 20 year olds are unable to work out how to turn an egg timer over!

I explained that principles of a 180 degree revolution, and how that would place the sand at the top so that gravity would then do its work.

Educashun - Special Needs

I see that the schools' inspectors from Ofsted have issued a report that has set the veritable cat amongst the pigeons.

Ofsted claims that there has been widespread over-diagnosis of children with special educational needs, it alleges that up to 700,000 pupils have been wrongly placed in this category (50% of that category).

For why?

Ofsted allege that this is being used a cover for poor teaching, ie lower expectations and you don't need to explain failure.

Plus, as an added bonus, some schools are able to exploit this by gaining extra grants from Nanny.

Suffice to say the teaching unions are none too pleased with this.

Doubtless the media will now bring forth "case studies" from both ends of the spectrum, showing some pupils who really are in need (who have not been classified as being in need) and those who have been classified as in need as being not in need.

My humble contribution to the "chatter" is this, my partner Eva some years ago was a supply teacher in the UK. She said that whenever an Ofsted inspection was due, schools would ensure that the timetable, teaching staff, pupils etc were "managed" in such a way as to ensure that whatever impression the school wished to give Ofsted was in fact given. Those of you who recall reading the "Just William" books will recall one episode where the intelligent looking pupils at William's school were placed at the front of the class, and William at the back, in anticipation of a visit by a "great man".

Oftsed have most likely been conned at many of the schools they have visited, as to whether this invalidates the conclusion of their report (or indeed enhances it) I could not possibly say.

Bin Brother - Slopping Out Banned

I am glad to see that our "beloved" new coalition government has "seen some commonsense", and at least attempted to trim the wings of Nanny's Bin Brother rules relating to slop buckets.

Coalition Nanny has decreed that households will no longer have to install slop buckets in every kitchen, something the ZaNuLabour had legislated to do.

Seemingly Nanny discovered, to her horror, that forcing people to use slop buckets (for the depositing of food waste) would in fact lead to an increase in fly tipping.

What?

People not blindly obeying Nanny's rules without question, surely not??!!

Nanny had planned to ban certain materials going to landfill, eg; food, paper and metals, in order to obey EU targets (another "beloved" institution!).

However, Nanny spent a year consulting" about the effect of such legislation (that's the spirit Nanny, check something out after you say you will do it) and found that people would simply stick two fingers up to her if she tried to impose this idea.

By the way, slop buckets would of course have caused an increase in the amount of vermin.

Frankly all these "separate your waste" diktats are bollocks anyway. As we all know councils pay companies to take the "separated" waste, who then ship it off to India to be buried in one massive landfill.

Let's save all of the bother and cost of this nonsense, and return to the good old days of crapping out of the window!

Prats of The Week - Brighton Council

Hoorah!

My own council of Brighton have won this week's prestigious, and internationally renowned, "Prats of The Week" Award!

Huzzah!

For why?

Well loyal readers, in this era of austerity (courtesy of Broon's years' of largess), one would have thought that local councils would be looking at ways to save money.

Not in Brighton!

Our "beloved" council, a couple of months ago, splurged £25K on a "state-of-the-art machine" near Surrenden Park in London Road.

Now can you guess what this machine does?

Yes, that's right, it counts bicycles and displays the number that pass on an LED display.

Why do we need to count bicycles?

Who the fark knows or cares?

Aside from that obvious point, there is one other wee problem.

Can you guess what that is children?

Yes, that's right, it doesn't work!

Seemingly, in addition to counting and displaying the number of bicycles, it also mistakenly counts and displays motor vehicles (eg ambulances, minibuses and cars) as bicycles.

Brighton and Hove Council, well deserving Prats of The Week!

Un Farking Believable!

Many thanks to all of you yesterday who wrote in with suggestions as to what the "3000" story was about.

Sadly, I am still at a loss as to what I was going to write about.

Could it be senility kicking in?

Anyhoo, moving on, I read that we live in the age of miracles where limbs grow back as if by magic.

That at least is the view of Nanny's chums from Nottinghampshire County Council, as Lance Corporal Johno Lee has discovered to his cost.

Lance Corporal Lee lost one of his legs in Afghanistan in 2008, trying bravely on the instructions of our "beloved" government to bring a country still in the Middle Ages into the 21st century.

For reasons best known to the council they have denied him a disabled parking badge three times, as such he has clocked up £800 in fines for parking in disabled bays in his home town of Newark.

Seemingly the council are of the view that Lane Corporal Lee is "young", and "may get better".

Yes, they really did say that!

I know the Pope is coming and all that, but even his presence will not gestate the regrowing of a limb.

Now the media are crawling all over the case the council's Service Director, Paul McKay, said:

"We are looking into the matter and have arranged for a member of staff to meet Mr Lee to review the situation. We will urgently assess whether he meets the criteria for a disabled parking badge as laid down by the Department of Transport."

Call me simple, but either he has two legs or he doesn't?

3000

Now here's the thing loyal readers, I had this headline "3000" all neatly typed up ready to write a pithy article about it today.

However, there is a small fly in my oinkment, I had it very large over the weekend (trying to redress the disgraceful fall in the UK's drinking figures) and have totally forgotten what the fark I was going to write about.

Mea culpa!

Any ideas anyone, as to what the "3000" refers to?

On Yer Bike!

Ooh, another bicycle story!

This one concerns the recent use of two police community officers and two real police officers to deal with James Gresty, an 84 year old of Greater Manchester, who was allegedly riding his bicycle on the pavement.

Now I know that riding bikes on pavements is a veritable pain in the derriere for the pedestrians. However, did it really need 4 officers to deal with one 84 year old man?

Seemingly Mr Gresty was chased into a bank by two police community support officer,s after they saw him cycling on the path outside.

Mr Gresty was ordered or asked (depending on your point of view) to come outside for a "wee chat" and telling off. However, being of an age that tends to dislike authority he refused.

Therefore "back up" was called for.

Two real officers in a police van arrived, and issued him with a £30 fixed penalty notice for the offence of cycling in a pedestrianised area.

Mr Gresty contends that he had got off his bike before he got on the pavement.

Mr Gresty has sent the fixed penalty notice to the Chief Constable challenging him to take him to court.

Whether or not he was riding on the pavement, did it really need 4 officers to deal with him?

Booze Matters

Imagine my delight, and joy, when I read that the Scottish parliament wants to charge only 45p for booze.

My goodness me, what an excellent idea and bargain!

Now imagine my disappointment on reading the article properly, to find that in fact this is 45p per unit. In effect they are putting the price of booze up.

Seemingly, some "study" has "proven" that 50 lives a year will be saved by charging at this rate.

My suspicion is that this charge is bollocks and will achieve now't, other than swell the government's coffers. The Nordic countries have such a policy, yet there are still many heavy drinkers there and indeed many illegal home brew "stills".

Do the MSPs have access to parliamentary bars that are subsidised by Scottish taxpayers?

By the way, by happenstance, I also read that that the amount of booze consumed in the UK has in fact fallen.

Sounds to me as if this pricing policy is utter bollocks, and just a ploy to raise taxes!

The Dangers of Trampolines

And we're back in the room!

Sorry for the couple of days absence folks, a few matters elsewhere to attend to.

Anyhoo, my thanks to Uncle John for his recent post about London and Quadrant Housing Association (L&Q) in Lewisham.

They have a thing about trampolines, as Sharon Farmer who has erected a 14ft one each year for the past 10 years in communal gardens in Lewisham found out.

Gosh, that's quite an erection!

Anyhoo, being quick off the mark (ten years after the first erection) L&Q have just decreed that this may pose a health and safety risk; they have demanded that it be de erected.

Ten years without incident might give a clue as to how dangerous this erection (which has a safety net around it) really is.

Anyhoo, L&Q have allowed the trampoline to remain until the end of the school holidays.

So, correct me if I am wrong, if this erection is so dangerous why are they allowing it to remain up for a few more weeks?

This makes no sense whatsoever!

BTW, the kids aren't allowed to play ball games there either...what is it, a prison camp?
