Took Mrs Sane out for a meal last night to our favourite Italian restaurant, Osteria da Paolo in Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury was a bit manic because the Flower Show is in full swing and the restaurant was busier than usual but the service was great, as was the food (although it did take two attempts to [...]

This letter was in the Shropshire Star last night.  The title wasn’t my idea … Why can’t we all just be Brits Great Britain won its first gold medal of the Olympics on Sunday.  The BBC were beside themselves and delighted in telling the world that the medal winner was Welsh and it was the [...]

Birmingham City Council has sent a leaflet to 720,000 households to thank them for helping them hit their recycling targets early. Printing 720,000 colour leaflets and posting them to every household is a pretty stupid thing to do in itself – it cost the taxpayer £15k and how many of those leaflets will end up [...]

Back in May I blogged about the shitty Adobe Acrobat installer that gets in a huff if you don’t allow it to insert its accelerated startup thingy into Windows’ startup items. It seems that Adobe isn’t alone in writing shit installers that won’t take no for an answer – I’ve just installed an update for [...]

Earth First, a militant group of eco-facist anarchists, are planning another eco-terrorist training climate camp in Norfolk. According to Communist Socialist Unity, the camps “have the climate camp vibe and lots of good workshops for political education”. I think I’ll pass. Technorati Tags: Eco-terrorists

Just watched the first episode of Spooks: Code 9. The programme itself was moderately entertaining – not a patch on Spooks – but my god, Freud would have creamed himself over the propaganda and subliminal messages in it. Whenever one of the bad guys was shown, their face had a British flag superimposed on it.  [...]

The police have now made over 100 arrests at the eco-terrorist camp outside Kingsnorth Power Station. The eco-terrorists actually had the nerve to complain last week that the Police were being heavy handed and that there was no need to raid their camp, even though they admitted that it was no secret they intended to [...]

Boris Johnson has over-ruled the eco-loonies in London and cancelled the pedestrianisation of Parliament Square and the purchase of hygdrogen-powered vehicle for use in the public sector around London. Ken Livingstone, the odious turd that preceded Boris, approved plans for the pedestrianisation of Parliament Square which would have involved paving over the grass and banning [...]

A group of MPs have told the Demon Headmaster that we should have a British Bill of Rights to give extra protection to children, old people and people with learning disabilities. Has nobody told these cretins that we’ve already got a Bill of Rights? The Bill of Rights was passed in 1689 in the English [...]

No Mandate Brown has a master plan for reviving the housing market and turning round the market.  You’ll like it, it’s a stroke of genius. What he’s planning on doing is allowing high street banks and other mortgage lenders to sell their mortgages to the Bank of England who will pay them in guaranteed government [...]

Georgia has declared a unilateral ceasefire and withdrawn its troops from the South Ossetia region after Russia invaded 3 days ago. South Ossetia has harboured ambitions for independence for a few years now and has been given a great degree of autonomy in the past.  A majority of South Ossetian Georgians have Russian passports, a [...]

We decided to go exotic* for Sunday lunch with Tortilla and Taco’s which leaves me with a burning question: How the fuck are you supposed to eat a Taco?  You can’t fold them because they snap and they’re so wide the only people who can fit them in their mouth are Cherie Bliar and Janet [...]

I’ve just removed my link to George Ashcroft’s website from my sidebar as it’s no longer worthy of a link. George Ashcroft is a Conswervative councillor in Telford and was the first Conswervative councillor to take a seat in the Stirchley & Brookside parish.  When he set up his blog he was the first councillor [...]

Am I the only one that has absolutely zero interest in the Olympics? The BBC have devoted BBC1 to covering the games, even the Breakfast programme has been relegated to the News 24 channel. I might be more interested if there was an English team but I just can’t get excited about Team GB, even [...]

Courtesy of Tommy English An Englishman, a Scotsman and a Welshman drinking beer in a country pub. That night as they are leaving a huge truck thunders through main street and kills all three! The next day the publican is surprised to see the Englishman walk back into his pub. The Englishman tells him that [...]

I have just been contacted by my Common Purpose informant who tells me that Third Sector magazine has a very interesting interview with Common Purpose. Common Purpose have admitted in Third Sector magazine to illegally passing on information of members of the public which they have themselves obtained illegally. Third Sector is a magazine for [...]

Iain Dale has had to bring forward the deadline for voting in his annual blogging poll by a week. The poll now closes tomorrow so if you haven’t already voted, get a move on! As the Witanagemot Club‘s 3rd most desperate blogger to win an award, I would be letting the side down if I [...]

This is in tonight’s Shropshire Star … Website has shades of Orwell’s 1984 about it I was pointed in the direction of the npower website and was both shocked and disturbed by their low carbon economy section.  In this section npower encourages children to keep a diary of “climate crimes” committed by their parents and [...]

English PCTs are to send parents letters telling them if their children are overweight. According to the British government, most parents of fat children don’t think their children are overweight and sending a letter from the local NHS trust using data collected by schools will prompt them to take action. However, the NHS have told [...]

Eco-terrorists causing an nuisance at a “climate camp” at Kingsnorth power station have had some of their cars towed away by the police. Kent Police said they asked the eco-terrorists to move two cars from the entrance to the power station for safety reasons because they were blocking the only gateway onto the camp site but [...]
