The Budget, otherwise known as ‘screw you all day’, was today. I don’t care enough to look at it yet. Predictably it was a load of money-grabbing bollocks as usual. Politicians justify their imagined importance by stealing money from people who do real work and who make real things. It has always been thus, and always will be.
On the radio there is much that makes me say ‘Oh just fuck off’. I hear it at work. I did indeed buy a radio for home, it’s been on twice and the first time was to check it worked. One day I might go for a new fangled TV talking picture thing… but it is not this day!
There was a personal trainer hoping to make his fortune on the back of the latest NHS shite about exercise for the over 40s. We’re all flabby and at Death’s door so we need a personal trainer to push us all into cardiac arrest. Think of the money the NHS would save if everyone over 40 was dead!
I bet there are 39 year olds thinking this is a good idea, you know. The stupidity is all pervasive now.
The NHS in Scotland want to check everyone over 40 for dementia. Okay, it can hit early but that’s rare. Very rare. Checking every 40 year old is a 99.9% waste of time and money. It’s a very good way to round up dissidents though.
Wouldn’t it save the NHS so much money if everyone over 40 was dead? Has everyone seen or read ‘Logan’s Run’? Sure it was down to 30 by then but they have to start somewhere.
I have so much more but I’m trying to make it up before it becomes real.
Logan’s Run? In the movie Carousel was age 30, in the book, LastDay was 21. Do you hear me Runner?

Am I alone in finding it difficult to distinguish between this tiresome kitchen hand and the Amiglion Major Cow portrayed in the BBC’s rendering of the Hitch Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy? Have they been seen together at any time? I think we should be told.

I wish that he would be very humane too. Spawny eyed little mockney wassock.

I wonder how many will forget to be checked?

It’s like they pour their money, cough, OUR money into things that aren’t important, while the things that are, they ignore. Completely. To their own detriment. And ours.
And Jamie is working himself up into a frenzy over the sugar tax. I guess he’ll be made a Lord soon will he, or perhaps given an OBE? For services rendered etc, etc.
You couldn’t make it up.

I don’t understand what his beef is. He’s already rich and famous, what more does he want? I guess it’s that seat in the Lords, or the OBE he’s got his eye on, eh…..

He’s probably given up trying to get a Michelin Star. Still, he’s worth about £250 million.

Strange idea of `worth`. He may have the moolah, doesn’t mean he’s worth that much.

I stand corrected, though he’s eclipsed by Simon Cowell.
