The Dangers of Daffodils

Proof, if ever it were needed, that Nanny is a complete knobhead and that some people living under the dictatorship of Nanny are utter fuckwits.

Nanny has told supermarkets to remove daffodils (which are poisonous if eaten) from the food areas of the shops, lest morons mistake them for food.

In a letter to supermarkets, Public Health England (which clearly has nothing better to do) warned that the flowers could be confused with onions or Chinese vegetables, and consumption of them was an "emerging risk".

Who is dumber, Nanny or the cretin that chooses to eat a daffodil?

Nanny's Flu Vaccine Is Bollocks

It seems that Nanny's flu vaccine, that she implored us all to have, is in fact bollocks and doesn't work.

Evidence shows that the vaccine is stopping only three out of every 100 vaccinated people from developing symptoms.

What a complete and utter waste of time and money!

One wonders exactly why Nanny is so keen for us to have had this vaccine?

Still at least the drug companies made a fortune out of the vaccination programme!

Booze Matters - Brand Awareness

Yawn!

I see that Nanny, in the shape of Alcohol Concern,is getting her knickers in a twist over the "fact" that kids are apparently very familiar with the brand names of booze.

Such is Nanny's concern over this that she wants more restrictions placed on booze adverts and sponsorships etc.

Now when I was a nipper, the TV was choc a bloc with adverts for booze. I was very familiar with names such as:

-Martini
-Red Barrel
-Worthington E
-Long Life
-Budweiser
-Harp
-Gordons
-Babycham 
-Carling etc etc

Yet this familiarity didn't turn me into a raging alcoholic (then or now).

Rather gemusingly Nanny adds weight to her "argument" by citing that "fact" that kids are more familiar with booze brands than brands of crisps, biscuits and sweets.

Ermm....I thought Nanny didn't approve of those either?

As ever Nanny's concerns are bollocks, kids are drinking less now than they ever did!

Exercise is Dangerous

 

I am gemused to learn that the Copenhagen City Heart Study, conducted on runners, concluded that too much exercise really can kill you.

The study of 1,098 runners found that those who ran the fastest were nine times more likely to die prematurely within 12 years than those who enjoyed a more sedate pace of around 5mph for two or three times a week.

In fact, strenuous runners were as likely to die as those who did no physical activity.

Peter Schnohr, MD, DMSc, is quoted by the Telegraph:

"There may be an upper limit for exercise dosing that is optimal for health benefits.

It is important to emphasize that the pace of jogging corresponds to very vigorous exercise.

When performed for decades, this activity level could pose health risks, especially to the cardiovascular system.

If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, it may be harmful."

As ever, it is a case of eating, drinking and exercising in balance rather than to extremes.

Bin Bollocks

Kudos to a traffic warden in Carmarthen who recently displayed a good sense of humour.

The warden is being investigated after a parking ticket was placed on a wheelie bin. The warden was accused of "bizarre behaviour" by onlookers as the penalty charge notice was stuck on the bin which was on double yellow lines in Carmarthen.

However, all is not what it may appear. Carmarthenshire council said no ticket was inside the wrapper and the incident was a light-hearted moment.

Yet, and this I don't understand given that there was no ticket, the council is still looking into the warden's conduct.

Why?

This seems a simple matter of high jinks. Why is the council being so anal about it?

Maybe the council wanted to fine the bin and is annoyed that it can't!

CCTV Is Useless

I am gemused to see that Tony Porter, Nanny's surveillance commissioner, has said that there are too many “useless and ineffective” CCTV cameras in Britain.

Mr Porter said the public does not realise the true extent of surveillance in Britain, and lacks the understanding to be able to consent what is happening.

He also said the country must not “sleepwalk into a surveillance society” and called on councils and businesses to publish exactly what information is being gathered by the cameras.

Asked on BBC Radio Five Live if he thought there were too many “useless” cameras in Britain, Mr Porter replied:

“I think undoubtedly there are because we know that for a fact.”

He is quoted by the Telegraph:

“There is a local authority actually in the West Midlands that did a local review and was able to reduce the cameras that were ineffective and useless to the tune of a quarter of a million. 

If that can be extrapolated across the country I think we can actually still maintain the balance of excellent surveillance but not have a promulgation of surveillance that actually is useless.”

As I have noted before, CCTV merely records a crime taking place. Unless CCTV cameras are fitted with lasers that zap a criminal in mid act of criminality they will not prevent crimes (at best they displace them).
