Especially with government employees....

"Colin Matthews, Heathrow's chief executive, said: "In October the CAA accepted the need for changes to its April proposals, but has now reverted to a draconian position."

Smells like cleggie sticking his nose in......

...well, he is well known for his turnabout attitude. Denis Healey had a word for that attitude.....

Woman bites car

"She sunk her teeth into the part of the car above the window. I could hear metal crunching” -Selina Day, Car owner

Must have some strong teeth! Or is this a reflection of FIAT build quality?

Clumsy robber laughed at by bank staff



A Chinese bank clerk was caught on CCTV laughing at an incompetent bank robber who threatened her with a meat cleaver - despite the fact that she was hidden behind an unbreakable security barrier.

Dozy robber De Ke, 28, also stopped mid-robbery in Shanghai to answer a his mobile phone, leaning against the glass to tell whoever it was that he was busy and to call back later.

Bank clerk Rong Ku, 41, told local media: "I might have taken it seriously if he'd had a gun as you never know really if the security glass will stop a bullet, but I knew he had no chance of getting through with a meat cleaver.

"It was a bizarre situation and I just had to laugh, especially when he took a telephone call in the middle of the robbery.

"He said 'this is a robbery' in a really quiet voice and then asked me to hold on while he took a phone call."

As he shouted down the phone, a security guard intervened, allowing another customer to disarm the robber before police arrived on the scene.

Now if you want to declare independence and make yourself a Republic, then fine, piss off, we can manage perfectly well without you. Until then try and behave with some decorum. Silly little man.

Why can't they change their flag and have one without the Union Jack.

Recognise this.

Nickerless and his "tuition fees", now that was a lovely soundbite.....

Probably for the same reasons you do. Except mine is in government and yours never ever will be.


Not for much longer.

An ungenerous, backwards looking politics has emerged in Britain. The politics of blame has found an acceptable face: it wears a big smile and looks like someone you could have a pint with down the pub.

The implication being "untrustworthy?"

Isn't that what we have already got with the junior coalition party?

How many turnabouts is it now?

Interesting and factual comment in that link......

Therefore you cannot change your flag or remove the Union Jack part of it, whilst you remain part of the British Commonwealth, with the Queen as your head of state.


Absolutely no connection. New Zealand, like other Commonwealth states, is a sovereign nation. Yes they have a Queen, but she is the NZ Queen (who happens to moonlight as the UK Queen and a few others). She is a constitutional monarch, which means she does what the elected officials of the sovereign nation tell her. Been like that since Runnymede, old chap. Time to catch up.

That is the biggest laugh I've has this week :-)) Well done Bill. As I have said before, it is high time that Australia and NZ went their own way, we can do perfectly well without them.


...and they can do perfectly well without us!
