Have You Noticed ……


…… how, once you have a tooth pulled, everything you eat heads for the empty socket.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled at lunchtime today. Six hours later I am trying to eat something that requires no real chewing, minced beef in gravy served in a jacket potato. I think every granule of the minced beef found its way into the open socket. No matter how I tried to keep everything over to the right, somehow those little meaty critters snuck around my remaining teeth and leapt into the gaping maw.

That explains what all the smoke was when I was driving into town earlier today.

Top Totty Beer – A real Brew-Ha Ha


I cannot believe the debate that this brew has caused. Haven’t our politicians got better things to spend their time on ?

A beer called Top Totty has been banned from the Strangers’ Bar in the House of Commons because its pump plate, featuring a half-naked woman, offended female MPs.

Half naked ??? Woman ???

Come on folks. Are women offended by women on the beach at Brighton when they are in their bikinis ? Of course not. Anyway, it isn’t even a real woman, it’s a caricature or cartoon if you like.

Kate Green, Shadow Equalities Minister, was apparently “disturbed” by the sight of the brew. Truth be known she spotted an opportunity for some self promotion by creating a fuss. Hence the discussion of this issue in the house.

In my view Kate Greens actions can only be seen as childish and demeaning for MPs in general. If MPs don’t have a sense of humour then they have no place in politics where they lay themselves open to ridicule on a daily basis.
