The Joy of Floppies


The media and dog whistle American politicians have become somewhat hysterical over the last 24 hours or so as it has transpired that some of the US nuclear weapons programs are stored/run on floppies.

Cue the demand for very expensive upgrades (thus ensuring that some people in the military, industrial, political complex make mega bucks out of the upgrades).

However, consider this floppies (unlike the net) cannot be hacked nor are they prone to Cylon invasions!

"Fat" People Live Longer


Who would have thought it?

Another Nanny myth has just been turned on its head.

This time it transpires, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, millions of Britons classed as overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those who are slimmer and deemed to be the most healthy.

In fact, the definition of "overweight" may need to change as the research has shown that the "healthiest" size has increased by 3.3 BMI points since the 1970's.

Loyal readers of course know what I think of the BMI as means of determining if someone is "overweight" or not. Time and time again it has been proven to be absolute bollocks. A far better means is simply to measure your waist, and compare that to the rest of your body.

Anyhoo, currently people who have a BMI of 27 are classed as "overweight" yet they now have the lowest risk of dying from any condition. Wise owls of course will be aware that we all die one day!

Thus, as ever, apply some common sense and abandon the concept of one size fits all. Additionally, ignore all the advice that Nanny gives you!

Salt Is Good For You


How ironic and gemusing, that at the same time we learn that eating fat is good for you it also transpires that salt is also good for you.

Who would have thought that a life staple (remember you die without salt) could in fact be good for you?

A study of 130,000 people found that those who cut back their salt intake to half the recommended amount per day may be more at risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Eating less than three grams of salt a day could lead to serious health problems in the future, the study found that there were more heart attacks, strokes and deaths among those whose intake was lower than the average amount.

Professor Andrew Mente, an epidemiologist at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario is quoted by the Telegraph:
"While our data highlights the importance of reducing high salt intake in people with hypertension, it does not support reducing salt intake to low levels.

The key question is not whether blood pressure is lower with very low salt intake, instead it is whether it improves health.
As loyal readers know, and have discussed many time on this site, healthy people who drink a sensible amount of water and are active will sweat/urinate out any "excess" salt that they may have ingested.

Thus the single issue obsessives from CASH etc may care to re-evaluate their lives, and go and do something more useful instead of sticking their noses in where they are not wanted.

Eat Fat To Get Slim


I am hugely gemused to see that after decades of being told by Nanny to cut down on fat, one of Nanny's chums (the National Obesity Forum - NOF) has come out and said that urging people to adopt low-fat diets and to lower their cholesterol is having “disastrous health consequences”.

Dr Aseem Malhotra of NOF is quoted by the Telegraph:

Eating fat does not make you fat.

Promoting low-fat foods is perhaps the biggest mistake in modern medical history."

The report says the low-fat and low-cholesterol message, which has been official policy in the UK since 1983, was based on “flawed science” and had resulted in an increased consumption of junk food and carbohydrates.

The solution is a return to “whole foods” such as meat, fish and dairy, as well as high-fat healthy foods like avocados; in other words, eat the foods that we used to eat before Nanny got half the country eating low fat shit packed with sugar and chemicals.

The report also argues that saturated fat does not cause heart disease while full fat dairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, can actually protect the heart.

"Eat fat to get slim. 

Don’t fear fat; 

fat is your friend."

Unsurprisingly Nanny really hates this, and is doing her level best to rubbish it.

The fact is Nanny's advice on all issues over the years has ended up contradicting itself, it is best to ignore it and use common sense.

Nanny Bans Whistles


My thanks to a loyal reader for pointing me to a Nanny story of such utter absurdity, that I first thought it was a late April Fool!

St Monica's Catholic Primary School in Milton Keynes has banned whistles to signal the end of playtime.

For why?

It seems that, according to staff, whistles produce an “aggressive” noise that will scare the children.

The solution?

Staff must instead raise a hand in the air to get the attention of pupils at the end of break time.

Does this mean that whistles are also banned during sporting event such as football?

This is so absolutely farking stupid that I am lost for words!!!

The Dangers of Mortar Boards


Oh dear, as a result of some alleged occasional injuries, students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have been urged not to throw their mortar boards into the air when they have their graduation photos taken.

Instead they have been asked to mime the throwing action instead, and have hats added digitally to the photo after. Oddly enough, it will cost an extra £8 to have a digital mortar board added to a photo!

The BBC reports that a university spokeswoman said injuries caused by falling mortarboards posed an "unacceptable risk".

Unacceptable to whom?

The students are the ones doing the throwing, and are in the line of fire. Let them determine if they want to take the "risk".

The spokesman went on to say:
"We want to ensure no student's graduation day is ruined by the potential for avoidable injury.

This has been agreed by our academic dress suppliers who often receive back damaged mortarboards, and our photographers."

The university said it had not introduced a specific policy banning the throwing of mortarboards, but instead had "asked our photography supplier not to encourage it during large group sessions".

The university spokeswoman said:
"The university accepts some people may still throw their hats. This is their choice and nothing will happen if they do."
Hah!

So the university agrees with what I just said about letting students make the decision!

Just to remind you of a key point here, third and fourth-year students had been sent instructions from a photography company telling them hats could be added to the photo digitally for £8.

The Health and Safety Executive said the chance of being injured by a flying mortar board is "incredibly small".
"When the concern is actually about the hats being returned in good condition, it's time to stop blaming health and safety."
Quite so!

The Dangers of Spuds


Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s hospital have conducted research, published in the British Medical Journal, that has concluded that eating potatoes may lead to an increase in the risk of high blood pressure. Note an increase in risk is not the same as increase in cases!

However, in what I deem to be a fatal flaw in their research, they did not distinguish between the cooking methods used (eg baked, mashed, fried etc). That being said they also concluded that there was no association between eating crisps and high blood pressure.

However, the authors acknowledged that, as with any observational study, no firm conclusions could be drawn about cause and effect.

In other words this research is of bugger all use to man and beast!

Prats of The Week - Brighton Council

Well done Brighton Council, for once again winning my prestigious "Prats of The Week" Award.

The council won it because it banned a rubbish truck emblazoned with the Union Flag from rubbish duty.

For why?

The council, having been proded by the GMB Union, deemed that the truck supported #Brexit.

Aside from the obvious point that the Union Flag has been around a lot longer than #Brexit, there is of course another point that the council has missed.

Chris Wood, Truck UK owner, is quoted by the Telegraph:
"I have never had a complaint before. 

We thought it looked nice, it never even crossed my mind that it could support Brexit. 

Since we have had trucks on the road we have always used the Union Jack as our logo.

I only found out had been taken out of service on Friday. I think it's political correctness gone mad. If the council are not happy with it then I have to respect that, they are my customer.

If it causes this much grief then we will have to change it, but we've used it since 2004 and never had any problems before. No other councils have had a problem with it. It has been on the side of trucks for 12 years."
Brighton Council, well deserving Prats of The Week!

The Dangers of Security


Following on from yesterday's security debacle at Old Trafford, and the inquiry therein.

The questions that need to be addressed are these:

Given that this was a security exercise to test how good Old Trafford security were at spotting suspicious devices, how come security didn't spot it during the exercise?

Also, how is it that the organisation that left the device didn't conduct a full inventory of fake devices at the end of the exercise and spot that one was missing?

The Dangers of Dog Food


The Guardian reports that, for reasons best known to herself, Serena Williams ate some dog food.

Staying in an hotel in Italy, Williams had her hotel prepare a special menu for her Yorkshire terrier, Chip.

On sampling it Williams told her Snapchat followers that it tasted “a little bit like a house-cleaner thing.”

Unsurprisingly she ended up in the bog.

Lesson learned?

Apparently not:
I don’t think it’s consumable for humans. They should have wrote that.”
Just remember folks just because your pet's food doesn't have a great big "not to be eaten by humnas" sign on it, doesn't mean to say that you should have a spoonful!

You can't legislate for stupid!

Burger Off!


The Independent reports that a new study from US-based food testing company Clear Labs has discovered, from a sample of 258 burgers, two cases of meat in vegetarian products, three burgers with rat DNA and one case of human DNA.

Additionally almost a quarter of vegetarian burgers have different ingredients to those on the label. Two veggie burgers contained beef, and one black bean burger contained no black beans.

It never ceases to gemuse me that despite all of Nanny's rules, regulations and monitoring such cock ups still occur. This only goes to prove that you cannot zeroise risk, no matter how officious Nanny becomes.

Cheese As Addictive As Hard Drugs


Apparently, according to a study published in the Public Library of Science One, cheese contains a chemical found in addictive drugs

Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure a person’s dependence on, scientists found that cheese is particularly potent because it contains casein.

The substance, which is present in all dairy products, can trigger the brain’s opioid receptors which are linked to addiction.

Cheeses!

Oxford University Endorses Racism


Knobhead of The Millennium, Ntokozo Qwabe, is in the news again.

Jan Hendrik Ferreira, a South African social worker based in London, started a change.org petition with an open letter to Louise Richardson, the Oxford University vice-chancellor.
Mr Ntokozo Qwabe and friend violated a person’s dignity, publicly degraded and humiliated her, and created a highly offensive situation which Mr Ntokozo Qwabe has since taken great pleasure in narcissistically boasting over her reaction across social media."
The petition to have Qwabe sent down from Oxford or stripped of his scholarship has been rejected by the university which said it would violate his “free speech”.

As per the Telegraph, an Oxford spokesman said:
"Our duty of care to all members of the university means we do not discuss individuals.

Oxford is a place where non-violent speech, however objectionable, can be expressed and challenged. Our students may voice opinions which others believe to be misguided or which they find offensive. They have a right to do this, but in exercising it we expect them to respect other people and the law."

That being the case, would they have said the same if Qwabe was white and made his remarks to a black waitress?

Meanwhile Qwabe wallows in his notoriety, he noted that "white" people had started a petition to have his scholarship revoked or for Oxford to send him down, and added of requests for his comment “we will only engage with white media when we have the land back”.

A Knobhead indeed!

Knobhead of The Millennium - Ntokozo Qwabe


Kudos to Ntokozo Qwabe (of the Rhodes Must Fall student group in Oxford) for demonstrating to the entire world that he is indeed the Knobhead of The Millennium.

Not only is he a hypocrite (castigating Rhodes, despite being a Rhodes Scholar), he is an odious racist; refusing to tip a waitress in South Africa because she was white, then gleefully positing his abhorrent views on his Faecesbook page.

The Independent has a summary of the sordid affair here.

Ntokozo Qwabe well deserving Knobhead of The Millennium!
