Want to see a lot of money go down the drain?

In my world when things go bad, they go a long way bad.

Last Friday.

As they say, worse things happen at sea....

Everything's OK.

It's alright!

Simplest solution?

Hand out the cyanide pills to everyone, and let the dolphins and whales take over the planet.

Damn right.

I got sideswiped on the A67 by a fucking porpoise in a pantechnicon.

But fair do's. Both a right whale in a semi-truck and an orca in a 42-ton 18 wheeler both pulled over to see if I was OK and administer emergency first aid before calling for an ambulance and a pick-up wagon.

[tomtom]

was it an accident or on porpoise?

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

I'm cetacean he did it deliberately.

[This isn't working, is it? Frankly, it's shit. Let's drop it now]

That was funny.

In a sad kind of way.
Lansley is not top of my list for man of the year.

Arse of the decade maybe (and not in a nice way).

I may possibly have over indulged on the red grape juice.
Might be best to ignore any posting from me till tomorrow.

Nice one slackers, quite amusing that.

slack---line will love this one........

49% of British homes get less than the national average broadband speed:

http://bengoldacre.posterous.com/bbc-49-of-british-homes-get-less-than-the-nat

[slackline]

Already commented on it.

The tardiness in the BBC article is not stating which average they are referring to.  I'd be extremely surprised if there weren't 50% with speeds less than the median!

[Oldmanmatt]

I'd be extremely surprised if there weren't 50% with speeds less than the median!

Like trying to raise education standards because the education minister has just been told 50% of the population have an IQ below 100....

:D :D :D

If it means free prescriptions and an end to any possibility of Tory rule, I'm all for moving [back] there!

Another one bites the dust.

http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/the-staggers/2012/02/scheme-greggs-grayling

And BBC news have just announced Gregg's are stopping the employment of the Slave Labour Scheme.

Gpvernment flagship programme going down with the captain. Fuck you, Chris Grayling.

Next up, greedy Andrew Lansley.

Edit - Burger King. Not Gregg's; Gregg's are "reviewing the situation", apparently.

Notwithstanding Andrew Witty - Chief Executive of Glaxo Smithkline - may have his own agenda in getting drugs to market more quickly  (which he does admit.)

- A book on whether Barrack Obama would "survive his first year in office"


- And a "fun" bet on what would be the outcome of Caster Semenya's sex test.
