Since I don’t drive here, I find myself having little sympathy for the day to day woes of drivers, the high gas petrol bill for example, or the charges that the government is debating for driving every mile (more in the city, less in the rural areas, more in congested roads, less in small country [...]

Well from this little story, I think we have a ways to go yet. Here’s what the neural network at the end of the tale finally produced (having being put to work doing prose):

The pig go. Go is to the fountain. The pig put foot. Grunt. Foot in what? ketchup. The dove fly. Fly is [...]

I heard about the congestion charges a few years ago, when I visited the UK. I went to visit my Dad and he drove me through London, complaining about the (then) £5 charge. Now it’s what, £8 a day?
Ken Livingstone however, is trying to push through a further push for heavily polluting vehicles. My question [...]

You know how you just get questions in your head that you can’t answer, rationally, or not rationally? Here’s a few that I’ve been thinking of, which maybe you, my readers, can help answer:

Why are men’s shirts and women’s blouses buttoned oppositely?

Why do no-smoking signs in the US and Europe have opposite slanting prohibition signs? [...]

Today at work I heard an interesting tidbit of information. The person in question said that running your heating all day long is more efficient than running it at preset times. So say I have it on for 30 minutes in the morning, and then for 2 hours at night - would it honestly be [...]

It’s been quite some time since I attended any bonfire night let me tell you. The US doesn’t have one (of course, why would they?) and although Halloween certainly has the party atmosphere, Thanksgiving doesn’t have any bonfires.
I’m looking forward to it to tell the truth, I always had a good time at them when [...]

Now that’s an original idea eh? Wait, no, doesn’t that sound like the old ‘rates’ system that the UK used to have? Yes! Wow, and you’d think that Labour would be happy with the current blanket system, given that their roots are in the equality for all belief system.
To be honest, I do like the [...]

Why can’t weather forecasters ever get it right?
I mean, just two days ago on Monday night the weather forecast showed a satellite picture with a front whipping up to Lincolnshire and raining cats and dogs. Yesterday? It was fine all day long, in fact it was a very nice day for October, more like something [...]

Today was one of those Mondays you grow to love, it whizzed by so quickly I can barely remember what happened. First of all I spent the entire day on my feet, working downstairs vinyling up signs. I had one or two minor problems but all in all, several jobs finished and bam that was [...]

We’ve heard of Dooce, getting fired for her blog. We’ve probably heard of Petite Anglaise, who also got fired for blogging.
Now we have, amazingly, a politician suspended from the Canadian Tory caucus for yes, you got it, blogging. It seems like no-one can speak their mind anywhere anymore.
Given that over here in Blighty, a Labour [...]
