I am talking about this 2 legged oxygen thief.
Cannot say I am a fan of tattoos in general, but to have the name of a footballer engraved on your chest forever is just, ooh whats the phrase, STUPID BEYOND BELIEF.
The quote from said moron on the website is also precious.

Blair is back :o(
I like this blog. NSFW but i agree entirely.
Best quote-
"Are we talking about the same Tony Blair who was widely believed to be the weakest, most self-serving Prime Minister this country had ever had, until his grotesquely incompetent successor proved that it was possible to do even worse?"

Caption Competition
Ok ok so i know funny animal pics are a little base in terms of humour, but what was the seal laughing at?

Now here is a man proud of his Helmet.
Sorry, i was watching University Challenge this evening and had to laugh at this image.
But actually, it would be good if the political and military leaders of today did have the pride to be able to wear this outfit.
If you are going to wear a helmet, why not have a polished gold eagle on the top? :o)
P.S. Does this look like Vinnie Jones to you?

I don't like Sundays. (tell me why?)
So just what is it about Sundays? That feeling I get that means i just have no get up an go.
Please do not believe for a second that i should be going to some religious altar to whilst the time away- i have never and will never do that. So that cannot be the excuse for my 7th day malady.
The feeling that because "things" are not open until 10/11 am and close at the horrifically early hour of 4 that it is far from a normal day? Should we just dispense of this and just close all the shops anyway on Sunday. Not as a sop to the religious, merely as it is so pointless going to the shops with staff that do not want to be there, customers that do not want to be there and virtually no stock on the shelves unless you are there for the second the establishment opens. Will expand on that point in another blog me thinks.
Is it the fact that Sunday is next to Monday, and ergo, back to work? Might be, but I do not think that is 100% of the cause.
Or could it be because of the televisual entertainment? The fact that anything broadcast on a Sunday is dangerously close to being at the same intellectual (sic) level of daytime media? I cannot say that i am glued to the TV 24/7, certainly never listen to the radio either. But there is nothing that stimulating on this day of Suns.
Food- major part of my life as i enjoy cooking- is also different on this day. Cannot say that I do a big roast every week, but certainly the extra time to contemplate and prepare food today is in itself different. (salmon and squid pasta for supper by the way tonight). But that is not depressing really?
Maybe i need a hobby? Suggestions please. Certainly need to go back to the gym, but that is only 90 minutes of the day, and then i feel this Sunday malaise and tired. Go for a walk in the countryside? No, as that means you come into contact with other walkers and ramblers, quite simply the most odious of human beings who marvel in the ability to walk in cowshit, stumble over barb wire fences, wear too much annoying clothing (usually matching clothing at that), and annoy farmers in equal measure.
I seem to have this desire to want to do something, as if i am not switching off enough. Stop thinking about relaxing and just get on and do it says the little devil on my shoulder.
Is the Interweb to blame? Alot of distractions on here, and i do feel like i have to read all of the news before moving onto other sites. Should Sunday be the day of No Internet? (shudders)
Is it Labour's fault? Ah yes that must be it. Another day under the shadow of Gordon McBroon's disarray of politicians with 1000's of laws to stop me having fun. That's it, i will blame Broon. Noone can deny me that right.
Sod it, i am going to go out for a blast in the car and blow away some cobwebs. V8 bellow beckons!

Another day, another moron.
Darwin at work
Now if Youtube was a chargeable service, and uploaded videos attracted a nice fee, we would eliminate, i mean, be able to watch alot more of these idiots, and their funerals would be paid for?
Plus there would be more free seats on the bus. Happy days all around surely ? :o(
More Darwinesque behaviour
Cynical being my middle name, anyone else suspicious of this? What is the chance that an outsourced manager of this service is going to do a safe and secure job with our data?

Stopped by the Rozzers!
So, after a fabulous lunch at The Blue Elephant earlier today ( highly recommended by the way, fabulous buffet sunday lunch-must book) , i was driving carefully and cautiously up the A30 towards Camberley. Naturally when i heard sirens and saw blue flashing lights, i thought some nefarious criminal was being pursued so pulled over out of the way to let nice Mr Policeman by.
So imagine my surprise when he pulled over behind my car. Yowsers.
He took some details, then told me that i had been reported for driving away from a petrol station without paying. Not something I would do I may add. Especially when I have as a perk of my job, a company fuel card.
So after a friendly chat- ( and he was friendly) i spoke to Thames Valley Police in Oxford, explained the story which is too boring to recount here, and they have removed me from the most wanted list. Phew. Very efficient they were too.
Now to deal with the garage who mistakenly reported me... and to find out why they did this....
I smell a rat.

Freak Show
No, thats wrong, i do not want my blog to become some sort of freak show "best of breed"site.
However,
J H Christ on a bike! He PingPing looks like some sort of childs toy next to Mr Kosen. Does this point to the wonderful variety in our DNA makeup, or, in a more sinister way, show that something is going very, very wrong?

Attitude
I have to say, today has been a better day. Why? Because i have been dealing with people with a pleasant and positive attitude. Should not be hard, or that uncommon, but as this morning has shown, it is obviously far to rare a state of mind.
So a brief introductory meeting, product demonstration, company pitch and general chat with a brand new customer has lead to a sale within about 4 hours. All because someone was open to new ideas and had the attitude to sense a deal could be made for the benefit of all involved. Why can't it always be like this.
So lesson learned, be a damn site more positive in future, it will pay back handsome like guv'nor.

I have been following this site for a few days, and must say it is interesting to see how many people are telling competition sized porky pies about snowfall in their areas.
I have tracked a few people, supposedly in the similar postcode as me, telling blatant lies about snowfall. Guess they see the snow as a day off work or school. Wonder if they realise they can be caught out, as Twitter posts and blog pages are easily searchable on Google these days.
Do employers track social networking ? Of course they do. Will people be caught out? Of course they will.

Here's a surprise- SNOW!
Well my first blog looms. And I immediately have to apologise as it is about the dreaded S word, Snow.
Why on earth (sic) can this country not be prepared for anything other than mild drizzle or light sunny spells? I have just heard that our beloved Government told local authorities NOT to grit last night, despite all forecasts obviously showing a serious weather event ( no tickets required folks).
So much respect due to my wife this morning who optimistically set off for work; after pushing off the drive the Ovlov slipped down our road onto the A33. Yes a main road. And stopped. For 90 minutes. Ungritted roads made the A road impassable even for lorries. Only 4x4's were getting through.
So working from home has been rather common in the past fortnight, i pray to the great god VPN every night it snows. Maybe i can claim back my broadband costs from Basingstoke and Deane borough council as recompense for not getting anywhere in the past week?
Oh and if we are talking councils, thanks B+D for not collecting our rubbish for 3 weeks now. Great effort. Ta. Thanks a million.
By the way for those reading this post, sorry for the miserable tone, i am not usually this optimistic :o)
