My Father Had a Bike

June 4th 2008 16:36

Ever heared someone say 'His father must have had a bike.' ?
This is something you hear in Wales at least. It refers to the hint of a person who looks like you being a possible illegitimate sibling of yours.
Sadly though as our Govement drags us all back into the dark ages where we sit in the gloom of a solitary energy saving bulb, we will soon be familiar with this old saying again.
Our duly elected Scottish-run Government is doing everything it can to contain us in our homes and cities. Petrol pricing makes a journey out of you city a rash thing to do.
The current spate of stabbings and the trheat of terrorism is published by the hour with he sole intention of keeping us cowering in our homes. It's easier to control us when we're watching some over-piad tosser helping us find our Nancy. Your phone call vote helps some department somewhere track your movements.

Before long the only people who leave the city or town will be, like my Grand Father, the butcher boy on his delivery bike.
Lock up your daughters now !

Petrol pricing and so on.....

June 4th 2008 16:18

I've been asking the question for years; ' why are we paying so much fo petrol when we have our own oil? '. The truth is. that our oil is a very good quality and sells for far more than we buy crude oil for from from other nations. So what happenined to to the profits? Squandered, that's what.

It seems clear to me that the recent oil prices are probably no more than an economic war waged on us by the middle east oil producing nations and by heck they're winning.

It's not quite what our Government had in mind. They loved the initial feeling that they would get loads more revenue from taxing the plebs and the side-effect of forcing us onto buses. What they didn't realise was that the whole petrol pricing issue would spiral out of control. We are now at a stage where soon the buses and trains will grind to a halt because they can't afford the fuel.

Industries that rely on any form of haulage will be going under soon. I understand that Royal Mail's fleet are no longer allowed to fill up at Tesco. Now all vehicles have to report to the main sorting centre to be fuelled. This wastes a massive amount of time and fuel in itself but it's still cheaper.

So the Goverment has just found some new oil in the North sea. Crap; they knew it was there in the 1970's.

Taxi Drivers

April 22nd 2008 12:41

For many years I have studied the habits of taxi drivers. These guys are not nice people. Take it as read. But it is we who are dumb for using them.
Theseguys get to charge outrageous sums for any trip be it lengthy or short. It's like having no control over the cost of a journey in the same way we have no control over our local councils demands for council taxation increases.
But this isn't my bugbear. I have noticed that taxi drivers are constantly looking to have an accident a) when they don't have a fare and b) when they can safely argue that it was your fault. This, you may think is sour grapes. Not really; I have never had an accident with a taxi driver but have avoided loads. It's in my mission statement that should a cabbie ever collide with me under the circumstances I have mentioned above, I will make the job a good 'un.
Note, these automotive cowboys are a law unto themselves and that accident they blame on you will be your biggest nightmare. They will not only claim for their damaged car, but hire of another car plus radio rental, personal injury and lost work. They will also probably claim for everything you can possibly think of.
Finally, and I have tested this theory, a cabbie will avoid any possibility of an accident with a pedestrian or a cyclist.

Thanks to the dumb supermarkets

April 21st 2008 15:58

There is a little man somewhere employed by all the supermarkets. They keep him in a dark room where he thinks up big ideas. Every-so-often they let him out, give him a hug and a mug of Horlicks and ask him what he's come up with.
This week he came up with a name for new, previously un-used carrier bags. They are Virgin carrier bags.
I'd like to thank the Supermarket Einsteins for this little bit of brilliance. Why

Green....vent your spleen

April 19th 2008 20:44

For sometime now, Postmen/women have had to deliver vast quantities of energy saving light bulbs on behalf of companies like British gas. However, they don't fit through a letter box. So if nobody's in the Postal worker has to write out a docket made from paper and shove it through the door. Then the customer has to get to the sorting office to collect it or have it redelivered. Just how much energy has that saved?
These Green idiots need to be stopped now.
