And they say “Nothing Ever Happens In Cosham / Cosham Is Boring”
Well thats obviously B’ Locks.
Either they had an unexpected delivery from a passing plane or its a message from the gods.
Ice block falls from the sky on to Cosham High Street – East Hampshire – The News.
Yet again our benefits system is failing the honest British tax payer.
I have just read about a woman who is pregnant with her 17th child.
That’s right17th
And who is paying for all these kids ? You and me, that’s who.
This leech on society is pulling in the equivalent of £42k.
Why is this allowed to happen ?
Who monitors and regulates the claims ?
At the very least this fat cat should have been spayed.
This is the “nanny-state” gone mad. What do these people think they are doing ?
Our children are being so cocooned that they have no sense of excitement or adventure.
So far we have no school trips, no sports fields, no conkers, no footballs, no snowballs……. etc. etc. Pretty soon we won’t be allowed to send the kids to school because it will be too risky.
After all they might strain themselves picking up a pencil. Oh I forgot, they won’t be allowed pencils because they are dangerous, too sharp.

“The Magical Adventures of Robin Hood”, currently being performed at the Glasgow Pavillion Theatre, are in trouble with the International Red Cross organisation. Specifically, they have contravened the Geneva Convention.
Some jobs-worth has dobbed the producers in to the authorities.
What, you may ask, has got the Red Cross all hot under the collar ? Apparently its the use of the Red Cross symbol
l
on the uniform of Nurse Poultice, a character in the pantomime.
The following is a quote from a Red Cross spokesperson
“We have no desire to be the villains of the pantomime or to appear heavy-handed, but… the emblem is a special sign of neutrality and protection, recognised by all sides during armed conflicts.
“Misuse of that emblem – even when done in an innocent and light-hearted manner – has to be addressed. Repeated and widespread misuse of the Red Cross emblem could dilute its neutrality and its ability to protect.”
Well I’ve got news for you Mr. Spokesperson. “Mis-Use” of the emblem is rife in the UK kiddy community. For the princely sum of £2.99 you can go to a well-known internet retailer and obtain a nurses uniform that quite blatantly displays a red cross on the cap. Will the International Red Cross be sending “cease & desist” notices to all 3 -5 year olds who dare to flaunt their edicts.
And then there is Barbie. The little madam has even been known to don a nurses uniform, once again displaying the eponymous red cross logo. These items are widely available and I haven’t even mentioned the adult market place.
Yet the International Red Cross choose to go after a pantomime in Glasgow. Popular as it maybe with Jim Davidson top of the bill, the damage it would have done to the image of the Red Cross was negligible.
Until, that is, narrow-minded jobs-worths decided to stir up some unnecessary aggravation.
Presumably it is the same narrow mind that is being applied by ordering that ….. “Christmas has been banned by the Red Cross from its 430 fund-raising shops. Staff have been ordered to take down decorations and to remove any other signs of the Christian festival because they could offend Moslems.”
It is time to take a long hard look at the way our society is slowly being ground down by this kind of thinking. Slowly but surely the fun is being squeezed out of Britain. Everything that makes us smile is being displaced by the politically correct brigade, turning us into a grey society.
An unemployed man, spends his own money to tout for work, has his benefits cut because he wasn’t actively looking for work.
This is madness.
No wonder so many of the benefit claimants sit on their bums all day and just take the money. What incentive is there when the government jobs-worths take punitive action against those that try to help themselves.

Watched Grumpy Old Men last night. Rick Wakemans tale of the electrical shop salesman who suggested that he couldn’t take back a faulty kettle had us in stitches.
Apparently he said it was the shops policy not to accept returns that had been used.
So how was Rick supposed to determine that the kettle didn’t actually boil.
Apparently he, the salesman, also pointed out that the packaging had been opened and was damaged.
After consulting with “head office” he confirmed to Rick that he would, on this occasion, exchange the kettle.
True Life Is Truly Hilarious
It has started again.
The so-called weather experts are once again telling us to get ready for that long hot barbecue summer. Look what happened with last years barbecue summer and I thought the met office had abandoned long-range forecasts. According to the press, not only are they forecasting fine weather but they are daring to predict temperatures up in the high 30’s in August.
Don’t know about you but I am keeping my brolly close at hand.
