You to can help the planet. Reduce your Carbon foot print, buy smaller shoes! or you can take bigger strides or the best method may be to hop along. My personal favourite would be to get some else to fetch things for you. Now this is not as daft as it may seem. If we club together and get personal shoppers, lets say one for every five people, wow! we are already onto massive savings.

Gordon Brown declared diplomatic war on Iceland last night, He has forbidden his wife from shopping at any of their stores. The leader of Iceland known as PM for short has had his assets frozen (he is reported to be in some pain) by our Mr Brown  also known as PM by coincidence.

It’s now come to light that our very own Met Police have £20,000,000 invested in Iceland. Insiders inform me that this may be the reason Boris sacked the top cop Blair last week. I think it’s a disgrace that the Met should have £20,000,000 floating around to invest in a super market chain, they should have used the money to get more men on the beat. It would never of happened when Dixon of Dock Green was about.

So many of our Local councils have been saving our hard earned cash in an Icelandic bank. The Government in Iceland has frozen the accounts of several local councils money as it fights to save the economy of the country. Our own Mr Brown The prime minister told the BBC that the Icelandic authorities’ handling of accounts had been “effectively illegal” and “completely unacceptable”.

I might be thick but still can’t understand why they would put their cash into an Ice lolly super market chain in the first place. I went round to our local Iceland to ask where my local councils £3,000,000 was but he would make no comment and told me I should do things that I don’t think are physically possible !

it’s a funny old World.

What a world we live in! This one comes from New Zealand, I love this one, apparently When New Zealand   signed up to the Kyoto Protocol it promised to cut it’s emissions of green house gases back to 1990 levels. As New Zealand has very little manufacturing it was never going to be an easy one. One thing NZ does have is thousands of cattle and millions of sheep all producing methane gas.

The politicians are proposing to tax the gas that is produced by the farm animals, This has caused a stink in the farming industry which is a very powerful lobby in NZ. The farming industry produces over 50% of the gases which are considered gases which cause global warming in New Zealand.

The fight against this silly plan has been labeled the Fart tax gang, standing for of course  ”Fight Against Ridiculous Taxes”

There is hope that science can solve the problem but in the mean time the New Zealand wine industry reports there is a serious shortage of cork !!!!

Well what a world we live in. Even the old bolwer hat brigade from Bradford are in trouble. Mind you when the Prime minister has to get his wife out as a warm up act the country must be in trouble. Next time you disagree with the PM he will most likely send his Dad around to sort you out. Just imagine what would have happened if Tony had sent his father inlaw around.

enough said !

Just been on the Halifax web site, yes it’s still there, no mention of the problems but there is a nice big advert saying “Be smarter with your money” not sure if that should continue with bank else where. It is difficult to understand how these banks etc get into trouble. Their interest rates being so high must earn excellent revenue, it can only be that they are very wasteful when it comes to controlling the overheads. Time to review some of the fat cats salaries I think.

Camper t shirts galore to be found at van fest. It’s amazing what people would rather do than sell their camper (according to the t shirts). Even saw some of our hoodies that we printed for a retail company in Devon and Cornwall.

Rob Andrews was a fine player and much admired, but his role in rugby since hasn’t been startling. Newcastle never ever really made it to the top and his current outburst against Clive Woodward is somewhat thoughtless, he should really engage brain before blaming England’s erratic performance since the 2003 World Cup on Clive Woodward.
It was the RFU that had the lack of foresight after the 2003 World cup win, their lack of ability to sort out the problems with the premier league  mixed with not being able to committ to the next stage of team England development.
I like most rugby fans will echo the thoughts and comments of Andy Robinson, Andrews is being disrespectful.

Apparently according to the latest research, most men what a traditional wife and women are often only to happy to oblige. At the top of the men’s wish  list was for the wife to take care of the home, cooking and cleaning.
I understand that there is certain food the cause women to lose their sexual appetite. it’s called wedding cake. I can only assume the research discounted men’s basic instinct or that they interviewed eunuchs.

The research goes on to report that the most valued attributes women want in men are as follows, 1. listen to want I say, 2. financial stability, 3. Being a great parent, 4. Gardening
I remember a friend sending me an email on how to please a women. It filled 5 A4 sheets and at the end was a list on how to please a man. One line ! come naked and bring a bottle.

If life, was only that simple

With the summer come and gone (you blinked) it’s hard to believe that next month many young loved ones will leave home for the first time to start a new academic life at their chosen University. For some parents a time of sorrow for others relief. Two of my drinking friends are such parents. The first amazed that his son has got there in the first instance, claims if his brains where made of gun powder he wouldn’t have enough to blow his beanie off. The other is concerned that he may want to come back home. He tried to sell his complete works of the Encyclopedia Britannica on eBay as he reckon’s his son knows everything.

And me ! I just hope they want some  hoodies printed
