Nurses and Booze

Huzzah!

I see that the Harvard School of Public Health have concluded that regular moderate drinking improves the health of women and reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other mental and physical disorders in later life.

The study of 14,000 female nurses found that those who frequently drank one to two drinks a night, but no more, had a 30% better chance of overall good health in their seventies than those who avoided alcohol altogether.

Women who drank on five to seven nights a week enjoyed a 50% better chance of good health in later life than teetotallers.

Brilliant!

As we know, nurses and doctors also indulge in other "vices" on a greater level than the rest of us. Therefore I look forward to the results of future studies that show that smoking and taking drugs are in fact rather good for us;)

Nanny Bans Guitar George

My commiserations to Guitar George (a music act who sings and plays the guitar whilst riding a unicycle) who has found himself on the wrong end of Nanny.

For why?

GG had been expecting to appear on Sky 1's "Don’t Stop Me Now" (a talent contest where everyone in the audience trys to prove that they are a superstar, and where unsuccessful acts are ejected from the show via trap doors, horizontal bungees and exploding stages).

However, he was told by Sky that he could no longer perform his act on the show because of health and safety issues.

This being a show where they have "exploding stages"!


I am lost for words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global Warming

I am hugely gemused to read (especially after this abysmal excuse for a summer) that global warming may in fact not be caused by our puny attempts to pollute the atmosphere, but the sun and the cosmic rays that it produces.

CERN have conducted an experiment (aptly named CLOUD) which shows that cosmic rays and the sun are the dominant controller of climate on Earth.

63 CERN scientists from 17 European and American institutes have demonstrated that cosmic rays promote the formation of molecules that in the Earth’s atmosphere can grow and seed clouds. Clouds affect the temperature of the earth.
 
Sadly the results of the experiment will not be given huge publicity, because they are deemed to be "heresy" wrt the dogma of "man made" global warming.

Prats of The Week - South Yorkshire Police

Ooh Err Missus, tis time methinks for another of my prestigious and internationally renowned "Prats of The Week" Awards.

This week it goes to South Yorkshire Police.

For why?

Just ask Peter Tooley (owner of the Party Time party store in Sheffield).

Mr Tooley recently put a mannequin dressed as Colonel Gaddafi in pink tights, holding a sign "you ain't seen me right?", in his doorway.

No harm there then?

Errmm..yes, if you are the two PCSOs who came into his store and ordered him to remove it.

For why?

They deemed that it would be offensive (despite the fact that no one had reported being offended by it), and that it may cause "community tension on a sensitive issue."

Have we really lost our sense of humour as a nation?

South Yorkshire Police, well deserving "Prats of The Week".

Booze Matters - How To Talk Bollocks With Statistics

Nanny's chums from Alcohol Concern (AC) have published a the results of a study that suggests that for every two off-licences per 100,000 population, one under-18 year-old was admitted to hospital for alcohol poisoning or intoxication between 2006 and 2009.

AC are using the results of the study to call for the restriction of the number of off licences.

Reasonable?

No, not really.

Aside from the fact that the law clearly states that under 18's are not allowed to buy alcohol, ie the number of off licences is irrelevant when it comes to underage law breaking re booze buying, AC sweeps under the carpet an anomaly in the study.

Whilst the study claims to find a relationship between the density of off-licences and under-18 alcohol-related hospital admissions across England it does not find such a relationship in London, ie there was no statistical link for London.

London, for those of you who don't know, is actually quite a large place!

Also, rather ironically, a report from the NHS Information Centre "Smoking, drinking and drug use among young people in England 2010" shows that the proportion of 11-15 year olds who had never drunk alcohol increased from 39% in 2003 to 55% in 2010.

In addition, those that have tried alcohol appear to be drinking less. The proportion of pupils who drank alcohol in the last week fell from a peak of 26% in 2001 to 13% in 2010.

There you go folks, make of that what you will; you can do anything with statistics if you have a political or "moral" agenda.

However, the key point is this, off licence density (or rather regulating off licence density) is irrelevant. The law clearly states that under 18's are not allowed to buy booze, ie the means are in place already to deal with underage booze buying.

The Joy of Salt

I see our old chums from Consensus Action on Salt & Health (CASH) have got on their high horses again about the dangers of salt.

This time their bile is directed towards bread, seemingly bread contains oodles of salt, in fact one loaf of brown "pain de campagne" bread from upmarket chain Paul contained 2.83g of salt per 100g – a higher concentration of salt than seawater.

Huzaah!!

Prof Graham MacGregor, Cash chairman, said: "It is frankly outrageous that bread still contains so much salt. .."

Yawn!

Save me from the farking "outrage" of these single issue zealots!

Do I give a fark?

No!

We should be allowed to eat as much or as little salt as we want, without these zealots interfering in the minutiae of our daily lives.

A balanced diet, combined with a decent fluid intake and exercise (that induces sweat) will ensure that the body excretes any salt that it doesn't need in a perfectly healthy fashion.

The high blood pressure that these zealots bang on about is primarily caused by stress, lack of exercise and a remarkably shite diet (in which "salty bread" is but a mere smidgeon).

I ate chunks of sea salt as a child, when I shaved large blocks of sea salt for my mum's salt pots, it never caused me any problems.

If people are so worried about the salt, then add heaps of sugar to your food..problem solved!!
