Just a quickie before bedtime.
Watch it before the Beeb remove it from their playlist.

There is much in the news today, but surely this report should take the front page.
Modern day weans probably don't get to partake in this ancient sport any more due to the H&S crowd or some PC nonsense about banning armed combat at skools, but I remember well all the tricks of the trade, like soaking my nuts in vinegar to get that extra edge.
I'm glad to see some skools are still at it - so to speak.
Caution - there are pictures of kids at the last link, but their identities have been obscured. That's nice.

I'm in plagiarist mode tonight, so I thought I'd bring your attention to this soon to be top seller at Waterstones et al. Thanks to Dickiebo for bringing it to my attention.
Oh, and the photo - that's from a member of the public across the pond.
There is a tenuous link between the Polis and Pandas.

Certain HMG Ministers do not like being cheek by Jowell with the prols.
What is it about champagne socialists that they want us all to live in harmony just as long as certain things are NIMBY?
Mind you, even poor old Basil Brush can make a faux pas when it comes to our Romany friends.
It's just as well then that my mob stick clear of such evil racists.

I did suggest a while ago that perhaps the Home Internationals should be resurrected.
I keeked at the snoozetastic game across in Paris, but frankly it was a dreich affair.
After checking out the latest results against 'useful' opposition, I think we Jox may have a good chance!

Easter? Spring?
Yesterday at work, the howling ice cold gales straight off the Arctic ripped through me like a knife.
Today I woke up to this on my day off. If it stays like this for tomorrow, my eggs won't be rolling anywhere.
Dog seems happy though.
For those of you still out there working, wrap up.
Me I'm back off to my bed with a hot cup of java, imagining what it must be like to be sinking a pint of Guinness over in Singapore.

Not having quite reached the landmark half century myself and membership of SAGA, I have this warning for the likes of Dickiebo and the Asda Annihilator.
Once upon a time there were lager louts, now it seems there's Saga Louts.

According to the Times this is the new look of Toy Town™ city centre patrols.
I reckon Gazza will be right there with me when I suggest we have both escaped.
Mind you, that's me just back after a shift that started at 3pm - yesterday. A double Domestic saw to that!
Sometimes sink estates can be just as much 'fun.'
p.s. - the combined experience in our panda was 37 years and I'm not even going to think about the combined age!

I was trawling through various websites and came up with this sad news. I was thinking to myself, why would a man of his standing think to climb mountains when the UK is being knowingly battered by storms?
Then news reports expanded a little and we find out this may have been more calculated than I first thought. I don't know the full facts or the pressures upon this man, but it is still a tragedy for all concerned.

Kids are top billing in the news of late. First off there is the completely loopy suggestion from Lord Goldsmith, which will go down really well in Nationalist sectors of the UK. Some folk see it as a good idea. I'm not convinced. Perhaps the kids in Glasgow could all assemble at Celtic Park to take their oath!
Then there's the poor kids being stressed out by homework. Self-discipline anyone?
And finally, I hear the CPS in England & Wales are admitting their failures. Perhaps they should get hold of this whizzkid.
But rest assured me and my mates have already sworn our allegiance to Queen Elizabeth and here's the proof...

It has been a wee while since I last posted about the poor hard done-by inmates of SPS establishments.
What hasn't changed is the ridiculous claims of the 'odd' individual every so often.
The poor man wants us to know that the smell emanating from his portapotty leaves him feeling worthless and degraded.
I wonder how this sex offenders victim feels?
When I exercise my custody officer talents I often hear the whines of the incarcerated as they bemoan the thinness of their mattresses or the temperature of the water they are offered to drink etc. The phrase that enters my head is, "Don't come back."
Nuff said.

It has finally been proved that H.M. Government's slavish (sic) devotion to, and compilation of, statistics is rubbish and to whom do local councils turn for help "because Government figures are too unreliable?"
Tesco.
Does that mean they'll be russian to the czech outs then? This Asda be a Lidl bit of a joke. Is this a Safeway to do business?
Sometimes I think the grip on reality at Westminster is poles apart from what you and I can see with our own eyes. It just confirms to me that they are a bunch of neeps (or swedes to my southern cousins).
Stats have always been double dutch and greek to me anyway.
Now, I eagerly await the SMT to try something new today and get their monthly targets from Sainsburys.
It's OK, I've finnished ranting.

This will have to take a wee bit of explaining to non-locals.
Up in these pairts, Peterhead is kent as the Blue Toon. Abidy kens 'at. Noo, it appears 'at the lassies are being telt tae advertise their non-availability (aye right!) for a lumber by wearing the toon's colours.
This article disnae tell us fit the loons are meant to wear and fit wiy they're nae at risk too. The local cooncillor said the licensing board, far were investigating the collieshangie, should "lighten up." I agree. If you've seen the quines fae up yonder I wid recommend wearing bricht red wi' flashing lichties, min.
Personally, I'd say een aff the wrist wid be safer!

Sticking to the education theme, this article from the Beeb amused me. Not least because up in these pairts the landward locals have a reputation they'd rather not have amongst certain central-belters.
I wondered if the kids also get to go to the slaughterhouse and see their cuddly little balls of fluff get the chop? Now that's reality.

Dickiebo posted on this little add on and was a tad miffed he resulted as primary school reading level. We could have told him he was in his second childhood, but that would have been impolite.
Meanwhile, please welcome another old Jobber to the fold as directed to by the Annihilator.
Please God, shoot me when I start to dribble!
