Is Gay Marriage The Reason For Floods And Storms?

According to this story from the BBC, a UKIP councillor thinks it is.

A UKIP councillor has blamed the recent storms and heavy floods across Britain on the Government’s decision to legalise gay marriage.

David Silvester said the Prime Minister had acted “arrogantly against the Gospel”.

He is wrong.  The best explanation was from my late son, when he was about ten.  He said it was God allowing his bathwater to overflow again.

Does This Mean I Won’t Get Dementia And Depression?

I have just read an article in The Times describing a diet for your brain.

They also publish the neurologist’s eating rules as down to Dr. David Perlmutter, in a book called Grain Brain.

So what does the diet advocate?  A lot of things that I stick to fairly well, like certain fruits, vegetables and oily fish, with possibly a glass of red wine a day.  But above all it says avoid gluten!

So far so good!

But then he’s an American from Florida!

The Last Word On Hollande

I picked this paragraph up from The Times.

Christine Boutin, a Roman Catholic who served as a minister under President Sarkozy, accused Mr Hollande of “treating his concubine like a Kleenex”.

It would appear that he’s running out of powerful women to take to bed. One wag also said last week, that he looked like a middle-aged provincial dentist.

i know the French expect different things from their politicians, but there can’t be many countries where Hollande’s behaviour would be tolerated without redicule.

Why We Need Plain Fag Packets!

My old and sadly departed mate, Brian, who was an innovative and reliable accountant, always used to joke he did his best work on the back of one of his fag packets.

He would have laughed at a reader comment in The Times describing the mess politicians have got into on the economy.

The arrival of plain fag packets can’t come too soon for this lot.

We need some sound sense, otherwise the next election will be a disaster for everyone.

The trouble is that if a few economic home truths were printed on fag packets instead of health warnings, they would be ignored, just the same.
