Knobheads Revisited!

Last October I wrote the following:

"I see that Dunster, a well preserved medieval village complete with cobbled streets, has fallen foul of Nanny's obsession with health and safety.

A council working group has decreed that the worn out cobbles in the Old Yarn Market are a tad "dangerous", and is proposing replacing them with smooth surfaced roads at a cost of over £100K."

I am sad to say that despite the media furore, the council have gone ahead with their act of vandalism (all in the name of health and safety) and are ripping up the cobbles.

As I said at the time..Knobheads!

WTF!

I see that prison inmates in Wales are threatening legal action against prison chiefs.

For why?

Because they only get Sky Sports One, showing Premier League football matches, in jail.

They want Sky Two and Three as well!

The prisoners have lodged a formal complaint to warders at HMP Parc in Bridgend to get other pay-to-view sports channels as well for free.


Ironically some warders at the Category B prison say they cannot afford Sky Sports at home.

Well, if they win this one then I give up!

Euro Nanny Bollocks

The latest wheeze from Euro Nanny is a proposal to enforce a mandatory 20mph speed limit in residential zones, and to replace the Highway Code with European law.

All very well, if we had signed up to an EU superstate and had voluntarily given up our right to self governance. However, as I recall, the referendum on the EU in the 1970's was for joining a "Common Market" not a European superstate.

Coming soon, all cars will have to be preceded by a man walking carrying a red flag!

Prats of The Week - Various Councils

Ooh Err Missus, tis time for another Prats of The Week Award.

This week it goes to various councils (such as Newham, Lancashire and Tower Hamlets) who have been minded to pay for some rather bizarre advice offered by Anne O'Conner (an early years consultant, I assume that means child "expert") about banning witches' black hats in school/nursery toy boxes.

Eh?

It seems that by dressing toy witches in black hats a "negative" stereotype may be being created in the minds of kids, which will lead to racism.

Well, aside from the fact that the colour black wrt clothing has nothing to do with implanting racist attitudes whatsoever, may I ask what exactly a witch is meant to wear?

Oh, that's alright, the councils have been told that too.

Pink, apparently!

Does this not mean that other sections of the community (with a penchant for pink, eg ballerinas) will be stereotyped?

No, the "experts" have a solution for that too.

Fairies, such as Tinkerbell, should now be dressed in darker colours!

Oh, and for good measure, white paper is also racist..apparently!

Bin Brother - Euro Nanny

As the EU teeters on the edge of collapse (don't celebrate too much, its impending collapse is causing havoc in the global markets) it is "reassuring" to see that the Euro Nanny still has her priorities right.

Some daft bunch of zealots ("The Campaign fro Real Recycling") have won the right to a review in December of of the UK's interpretation of the EU's Waste Framework Directive.

The review will determine whether allowing people to dispose of their rubbish in one bin is contravening the spirit of the EU guidelines on refuse disposal.

CRR claim that mixed waste is often so contaminated that it can only be sold off in Asia, where it may be sorted by poorly-paid workers, including children (who of course would starve if they didn't earn money from tasks such as this).


Prepare yourselves for more councils forcing people to sort their waste between five or more bins!

On the bright side, the EU should have collapsed by the end of the year; hence there will be no directive to follow!


Follow the daily updates of the Euro crisis on my finance site. I am given the understand that our "beloved" EU "leaders" and bureaucrats are currently shit scared of what is happening, but are of course incapable of proving the leadership necessary to resolve this self inflicted crisis.

Danger - Sharp Edges! UPDATED

I am gemused to read that NASA and the US Department of Defense (Defence;)) are a tad worried about the scheduled return to earth today of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, which is the size of a bus.

Seemingly they are not quite sure where it will fall to earth, and are worried that large parts of it will not burn up on re-entry.

Therefore are they warning us to "duck and cover"?

Errmmm..no not quite.

Their main concern is that people will come across parts of the satellite and touch it.

The danger being what?

Apparently "sharp edges"!

NASA has warned people not to touch the debris if they come across it, because it is likely to have sharp edges.

So don't worry about it landing on your head or anything, just fret about cutting your finger if you touch it;)

UPDATE

Britons will see a bright orange streak in the night sky to the south east at about 9pm.

Let's trust that it doesn't land in Waltham Forest, otherwise the council will take Nasa to court for dumping commercial waste!
