The Leveson Enquiry
What a waste of time and money! If the law is broken, throw the book at them.
Anyway regulating the newspapers is a waste of time, as everything can be posted on the Internet without checking. And it will be!
Newspapers will just be used to wrap fish and chips.
I’ve Now Got A New Ceiling
My hall had terrible lighting, so I decided to put a false one in to hold some decent lights and be able to take out Jerry’s awful wall lights.
You can see the lights in one of the pictures.
All it needs now is to be plastered and have the lights fitted.
WordPress Changes Picture Upload Again
Why do they keep fiddling with it? Especially, as I preferred the original one, where I could size my pictures directly to 450 x 337 pixels.
Now I have to edit the HTML
Lovely Liver
Lovely Liver
For supper last night, I cooked some liver which I had bought from Marks & Spencer.
It was in lots of slices and I just fried it in olive oil, serving it with a fried onion and some potatoes and sprouts.
It was rather nice considering my limited cooking skills.
The View Tube Reopens On Saturday
This is good news and now I’ll be able to take a walk along the Greenway and have a coffee.
More New Universities
We’ve just had a whole new set of universities created, as the BBC reports here.
I would have thought we had enough. On the other hand Cornwall gets its first university and other colleges like the Royal Agricultural College are upgraded.
It’s Parky, But The Radiant Heater Is On!
It’s very cold, but the sun is out and although, I’ve no heating upstairs in the house, where I live most of the time, it’s warming up with the sun.
The origin of parky is a bit obscure. Some say it’s northern, but then my parents in North London used it.
A Day Without Violent Crime
New York is celebrating Monday, which was a day without violent crime. It’s reported here on the BBC.
I’m reminded of an episode in the Peter Seller’s film called The Wrong Arm of the Law. London is suffering a crime wave from an Australian gang, who impersonate police officers to do major crimes. So London’s two criminal masterminds, played by Sellers and Bernard Cribbins, decide to have a crime-free day to trap the Australian gang.
I hadn’t realised but this comedy was written in part by Galton and Simpson.
Christmas Never Changes
Last year, I posted this called Christmas, Bloody Christmas.
It doesn’t appear that this year is going to be any better. Although, I suspect, I could be able to get to the football at Charlton on Boxing Day. That is if the buses decide to run!
I should also be able to get to Ipswich for the New Year’s Day match against Brighton, but I won’t bank on it, as the train drivers will probably go on strike to annoy me. At least there doesn’t appear to be any engineering work this year.
David Campese Acts Like The Aussie Male Stereotype
This story in the Telegraph, this morning is a gift to all good sports reporters, who like to make papers entertaining. The second line sums up the report.
When he can drag himself away from his shaving mirror David Campese has long been known as the journalist’s best friend.
Where would newspapers be without characters like David Campese?
