Decisions, decisions

"MoD rejected three deals to buy Black Hawk helicopters"



"16 dead in Afghan helicopter crash"



The above came from the Guardian.

Strange how the government are more concerned about bailing greedy bankers out than making sure that those brave soldiers are getting the right equipment.



According to the BBC out of 500 available helicopters only 30 were deployed in Helmand province. The governments answer to that was that some helicopters are deployed else where, but some may not be ready for deployment!

Even the new scrappage scheme introduced to breath a little life into car dealerships! How much money is going to that?



When I was self-employed and loosing a money during the recession, I didn't go crawling to the government to give me money to help me survive financially!?



Does Labour know what's important?

Binge Drinking

"Ow you f***ing w**ker come back, you t*at"

I just heard that outside my window.

Nothing to do with me I couldn't even see the source of the noise.
I live very close to one of those streets the police have to go and wait for some drunken idiot to come out of one of many clubs, smash someone's face in with a bottle (for a laugh) and then attempt to piss on the very van the police sit in.

This attractive street gets closed off to traffic every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, and the local council has just denied plans for it to be closed every night of the week, just because its probably the most high risk spot in this city at those times.

According to the government binge drinking is costing the country £20 billion a year, and have you

ever been to the A&E on a Saturday night? where 40% of admissions are alcohol related!

Its not just the screaming rows I hear, oh no, I'm sure anyone who lives near a street in a city centre like this knows what I hear.
I sometimes hear such loud bangs I wonder if my car will still be there, or in one piece!

Officially, binge drinking is any drinking session which

involves the consumption of at least eight units of alcohol, if you are a man, or six, if you are a woman.

Its almost like people live from weekend to weekend, and I'm sure I've seen an increase in this (as they call it) anti-social behaviour, maybe the fact that we're in a very tight economic climate makes people want to drink and forget all the problems with debt and their 'shitty' job.

Someone very close to me got so drunk last week he jumped into a fountain, cut his wrist, then had to go to the hospital to get a hepatitis jab!

There are an estimated 1.2 million incidents of alcohol-related violence, and 85,000 incidents of drink-driving a year. To be honest, that's allot less that I thought it would be.

Have fun next Saturday!

Interesting email!

I love these kind of emails!

I just had this in my inbox, I never normally read these but look!

"Offer Extended...Dear Mr. Dean Cummings,Last week we sent you a special offer for the Digital Film & Negative Scanner that gave you a £40 saving on the website price, as well as an SD Card worth £16.95, absolutely free! The response has been so huge we're extending the offer date a little longer.  That gives you a second chance to snap up this great offer for just £49.95* so don't miss out!!"

Its the bit "The response has been so huge we're extending the offer date a little longer." HA! If the response had been so unexpectedly huge, then like most you would not only run out of stock, but wouldn't bother sending me an email.


You know the sad thing about these email? Its that people do fall for them, people wouldn't bother sending these mails if they didn't work. And let's be honest! Its not even a good offer!

Well that was a rather tasty late night rant, so goodnight all and don't dream of Anthony Hopkins chasing you down the road with a fork! Nytol!:o)
