   Can we have all of them?

   Although, when you think about it, all they really did was exaggerate a bit in a job interview, so maybe we shouldn't be too quick to judge.

   Anyone who thinks that axing The Bill is a) remotely newsworthy or b) some sort of national disaster.

   I mean come on!

   Being a West Country lad, there's one clear winner as far as I'm concerned. With his cack-handed attempt at deterring teenage binge drinkers, the winner is old Pubebrows himself...

   Alistair Darling

   Unfortunately, I'm not so sure that the impassioned plea that I sent him, in the heat of the moment you understand, will have the desired effect I'm afraid. With apologies to any "Septics" that may be reading, I e-mailed him the following...

   "Oi Darling, the last time you guys tried to pull a stunt like this - namely the Cider Bill of 1763 - it led to widespread rioting, the fall of a Prime Minster and to the introduction of the extremely unpopular Stamp Act of 1765. This in turn led to the colonials getting all wound up, to such an extent that they eventually went and kicked off the American War of Independence. And where did that get us? Playing second fiddle to the bloody Septics, that's where!

   So, unless you want to see the birth of a new Superpower, in the form of the United Counties of the West Country (or as I like to refer to it, "the good old UC of WC"), then I suggest you back off now and leave the fermented Apple Juice alone!"

   I'm tempted to nominate photobucket. 'Cos they censored my album and ruined my post in TOTW about 3 weeks ago: click+scroll down and you'll see what I mean.

   But, on researching the problem, I spotted this picture, cunningly edited by me, from LAST year's budgie report. Has been previously used on NB, but worth reproducing I feel at this place. I call it

   Darling solves economy using string theory

    When tax was imposed upon salt
    Sheriffs' men brought the trade to a halt
    Every two or three miles
    With their arrows and stiles,
    And guarded their hoard in a vault.

    My point is that the salt tax is long gone....

    Seconded Mr Hack. May I also add the student I saw today, in the midst of a sleet shower, walking down the road wearing cut-off denim shorts, bare legs, very ugly fake converse-y type baseball boots, a cheesecloth vest top and a smug grin.

    I hope she's as happy with herself when she's suffering hypothermia.

    Crap week(s) at work: full time (cover), stock take, year end, pig's arse.

    Can I also nominate the bint I saw this afternoon who was wearing more slap than my nan ever did and in a weird fake tan bright orange colour? If I'd seen her on TV I'd've adjusted the set. Foundation is hideous at any age but at 19 and bright orange?

    Brown is just desperate now and seems to want to smear anyone who crosses him, it's become some psycho mission. Now there's an idea for a post...
