No More Dancing on Adverts, sorry, Ice, for me

What is it with the present run of Dancing on Ice?  Is it necessary to have one skating couple's performance, their scores and judges comments immediately followed by an advert break? - hey, anything to drag out this spectacle for a whole hour.

They should rename this show: Dancing on Adverts and/or Pantomime Audience Screaming as that's all we get, as well as the rather daft studio manager encouraging the even dafter  (and therefore gullible) audience to boo the judges if they say something the audience don't like and to cheer and scream madly when the judges say something the  audience agrees with.  No doubt these moronic studio mangers must be no older than 10 years old as all this screaming and booing, especially when poor Jason Gardiner is trying to comment is so rude. 

I'm tearing up my DOI Loyalty Card because of it now, and will watch something else from now on; it's too much hassle.  The audience have no manners and neither do the childish studio managers who obviously think it makes for great viewing - NEWSFLASH MORONS - IT DOESN'T.

The present Husband, Mr Malaprop!

Hubs just came out with a corker.  I'm channel surfing to see what's on tonight (BBC wall to wall sport) other channels not much but I came across a channel with a film called: Caramel.  Hubs pipes up: 'isn't that an opera?'

'No dear' I reply slowly, 'that would be Carmen' - SIGH!

Not voting Tory? then expect Labour to be re-elected!

Not that I have much truck with the Tories under Cameron (their last, greatest leader was Mrs Thatcher imho - can just see her putting up with uncontrolled immigration and bending over backwards for the EU - NOT) but if those misguided, sniffy idiots amongst us who smugly claim 'No vote from me Dave, I'm voting Independence' because they take umbrage at one yes one, teeny tiny argument in the manifesto think they'll get an independent party elected they are sadly mistaken but then they are literally too stupid to realise that.  In reality, much as we'd love to have UKIP elected and therefore get us OUT of the EU, we are stuck with Dave and his Tory party.  If we don't vote in our millions for the Tories then we can expect another five years of Labour and that will include five MORE years of uncontrolled immigration, jobs and factories closing, British workers passed over in favour of foreign nationals, illegal immigrants living in YOUR back gardens, ineffective policing, council snoopers being given the green light to come into YOUR home when THEY like to 're-evaluate your council tax' - seems under labour, we have NO rights to privacy at all, we are sleepwalking into a Stasi state but hey, those idiots amongst us will blindly carry on voting for anyone but Tory and then will be bleating that 'they can't understand how Labour got in again' - well here's why I'm spelling it out for you, vote independence and see what you land us with.  I cannot believe we are such a nation of idiots.

Why has the 'Cadbury's' Creme Egg taste gone from great to horrible?

You really can't answer that?  Well, it's because of cheaper products creeping in to the mix - literally.  Don't know what they've done to them but the Creme Egg is a complete no-no for me now and I used to love them.  The last few I've had taste diabolical, like there is something 'off' in the mix.  They do not taste like they used to; they were delicious.  Coincidence that Kraft have just taken them over?  No, not really, us Cadbury eaters were warning furiously that this would happen and sadly the Creme Egg is just the first casualty, wait till they shift everything to Poland and then see how bad and uneatable the whole 'Cadbury' range becomes, sadly the Creme Egg debacle has just started the rot ...

You were warned not to mess with the formula Kraft!

VGA Card 'Buzzing'

Working on the computer is now getting to be a problem.  The VGA Card inside the box is buzzing so loud it gives me a headache.  Apparently the fan and it's ball bearings are failing and we have to have a new one!  Oh Joy!  Firstly it was thought that it was the main fan failing so hubs goes out (in a nark) to get one, throwing his toys out of his pram left, right and centre.  Every little thing that goes wrong he HAS to make a crisis out of it, it gets wearing on the nerves y'know.  It's got so bad now that I've only got one nerve left - AND HE KEEPS GETTING ON IT!!!!!!  Turns out, after all the gnashing of teeth and the tantrums that it wasn't the main fan but the VGA card (and fan) so that just made things worse.   This racket is so bad it sounds like there is a wasp or six hundred thousand in there!!!

One day I'll live a quiet, peaceful, untroubled life - but it's not here yet.

Trespass in not a criminal offence ... in Peterborough, Cambs, UK

Pity the poor people of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, UK. 

In one of our Saturday papers it is reported that illegal immigrants have descended on a part of the county and moved in ... to resident's garden sheds and gardens! They have all pitched up in one area with their filthy mattresses, toilet material (polite version), drug paraphernalia, syringes etc - all within areas of quiet, peaceful, respectful domesticity. The response from the local council and police is pathetically unsurprising. The council say they can't do anything to help the residents but they will be down en masse to make sure the illegal immigrants have everything they need! Excuse me?? What about the rights of the householder? Why should they carry on paying their council tax when you blatantly will not help them? The police there are apparently no better; as trespass (which is what the illegal immigrants are doing) is no longer a criminal offence they can’t shift them. Again, what are the residents of Peterborough paying their taxes for? One poor chap has an illegal immigrant living in his coal shed! You could not make it up could you, only in this festering sore of a country would this happen and no-one in authority seems to have the will, the courage, or the backbone to do their duty. Regrettably, if the householder moves the II's on by using 'reasonable force' you can guarantee who would be prosecuted, yep the householder. So, do I understand this correctly - anyone from anywhere in the world can come and invade your garden, your shed (and probably very soon your house, turfing you out in the process - watch and see) because if these illegal immigrants and anyone else who fancies the look of your house can now move into or onto your land and not be prosecuted? Really, well how about getting a caravan and moving onto someone's drive? It will happen - because the people who are responsible for doling out law and order and civil justice in this country let it happen. Bet though, that if these illegal immigrants pitched up at Westminster or in say Mr Brown’s constituency and lived in their sheds and gardens the police would soon shift them then. So the question remains: When is trespass a criminal offence? Answer: when it happens to the present incumbent government and/or any of their representatives. Question: When is trespass not a criminal offence? Answer: When it happens to the ordinary law abiding, tax paying, indigenous population, who just ‘have to lump it.’  Apparently the only way the residents can get rid of these gangs is to take legal action themselves, great to see democracy in action isn’t it?

A very sad but not surprising indictment of life in Britain under 'New' Labour. You see, while this problem blights the hardworking people of this country, it is totally ignored by the government. The region's MP has even been trying to get something done and is just as appalled as I am at the state of things in the part of Peterborough that is affected.

Of course, all these problems are a direct result of that failed immigration policy of new labour. In other countries in the EU they don’t have this problem, because their governments stand firm to uphold their country’s nationally and will not allow it to be eroded by hordes from every given country on the planet, but Britain, well see, that’s a whole other story, our government does not want Britain to exist as it was. They blame the EU for all these rules and regulations which we can’t, for some reason, ignore. Most other countries in the EU don’t behave like a whipped pup when the EU demands something, but Britain does. So, it’s about time Mr Brown that we left the EU. Switzerland does very nicely out being a non-member, betcha they don’t have illegal immigrants taking over their back gardens and sheds, no, because their police wouldn’t stand for that. And while we’re on the subject, the reason illegal immigrants flock here is for the benefits (which they have no right to because they, unlike the indigenous British people, have never paid a penny in contributions so they should not get a penny) but say this in public (ahem) and wait for the inevitable cries of racist to come screaming out of the wood work. Those who scream racist are morons (whose lack of decency and common sense has deserted them) so now that we have the name calling out of the way, can we deal with the reality of the situation? We must take all of the indigenous British people who are unemployed, sick and/or disabled so we can give that money to any illegal immigrant who wants it. Shouldn’t the term illegal immigrant give these morons a clue? Illegal means they should NOT be here, so send them back where they came from and if there are no papers on them, simply pick a country and send them back there. You can bet they’ll soon remember where they came from if you say you’re sending them back to a place that is worse than here, but believe me that list is getting smaller all the time. Australia and Canada are not over-run with illegal immigrants because they are tough on them, not spineless like the British Authorities, and it doesn’t matter how many times you write to your MP, the Prime Minister or how many petitions you sign and send, the government will not listen, so although over 90% of the population of this country want illegal immigration stopped and the country put back to how it was before this New Labour lot wrecked everything, it’s only that 10% who matter, those who actively support this crowd. Those of us who remember back to the times before our country was wrecked by New Labour pine for the loss of our once beautiful country, we pine because it will take generations to go back to before the blight of New Labour set in and it will take a tough, harsh government to do it. Unfortunately we do not have the statesmen that we once had, the old guard who would take the decisions necessary. No, all we have now are politicians who don’t look like they’re old enough to be out on their own. Those who have never worked in industry or held any sort of life outside of Westminster; they are a waste of time, and sadly that is what our future governments will be made up of, so don’t go holding out for a change in this country for a long, long time, if ever. If you have the money emigrate, I would if I had the chance.

There is allegedly a general election coming up (but Brown is delaying the naming of the date, probably to wrong foot the opposition, great to see democracy in action eh?) and whereas in the past the British people would get rid of this, the worst government we have ever, ever had bar none, this time round they have become so spineless now that they'll happily vote Brown in again for 5 more years of the same. They won't vote Tory because they don't like them, I have to agree that Mr Cameron is style over substance and had the party faithful elected David Davis instead of Cameron they would be elected by a landslide; what a shame.
