My Public Catalogue for Suffolk Came Today

My catalogue of publicly-held oil, acrylic and tempera paintings in Suffolk from the Public Catalogue Foundation arrived in the post today.  And what a beautiful example of the printer’s art it is too!  It was £15 well spent and over the next few weeks I’ll explore some of the galleries.

As most counties now have a catalogue, they make would good presents for those who have everything!

A Spoonfull of Lord Sugar

In The times today, Lord Sugar states that the rules on football clubs going bust should be changed.  He says, if they do, it should be goodbye and you start at the bottom of the pyramid again. 

What sense!  But then he does talk a bit more than most football chairmen or politicians.

Be Difficult and Stupid and You Get a Peerage!

The Times today is thinking that the leader of the awkward squad and Ed Milliband’s biggest financial backer is in line for a peerage.

So do your best to make life miserable for millions of people and get a reward! The fact that it is being discussed shows that Ed Millimind must have really thought the thing through!

It just shows that the remains of Nulabor don’t have the qualifications to run a whelk stall on Hastings Pier, which last time I saw pictures of it, was in a better state than the Labour Party.

Milliband’s Poisoned Chalice

The elections for the Shadow Cabinet have meant that both Yvett Cooper and her husband, Ed Balls, are both up for plum jobs.

If I were Ed Milliband, I’d have hoped that one wouldn’t have got elected, as there is nothing worse, than to have husband and wife in the same meeting arguing from different sides.  Say you decide what should be done and agree it with the husband, as it’s his brief.  But if the wife disagrees, she’ll use all her feminine charms to change her husband’s mind and you have to go through it all again.  It would also work the other way round, if you’d agreed it with the wife and the husband reasserted his male instincts.

There are endless scenarios and you can understand why some companies don’t like employees to have relationships stronger than friendships!  I also speak from personal experience, which probably meant that one of my projects wasn’t as good as it should have been!

A Load of Old Conkers

I thought that we’d seen the death of Health and Safety warnings over conkers.  But we haven’t according to this story.

Surely, St. Edmundsbury Council have been things to do, with my Council Tax.
