Little Danny, my next door neighbours son, when taken to the doctors for a routine jab. Mum and the nurse tried desperately to distract him from the needle. The nurse grabbed the back of his shorts and exposed his rump and quickly aimed and fired. Danny responded with a “Cor !!! Bugger that !!!. Perfect timing and perfect context.
Best Wishes – See You In The Pub
I found this movie so sad at the end…. when John Norman Howard takes his own life.
The destruction of a perfectly good Ferrari brought tears to my eyes.
Wow…. no TV…. no HiFi … no Problemo.
Light the candles and curl up with the latest book. The subdued lighting usually adds to the atmosphere
Schumacher nearly put Barrichello into the wall with his “late” closing of the “door” during yesterdays Hungarian Grand Prix.
Once again showing the style of driving that has put many drivers “out of the race” during his career. In this case it was his former team-mate from his days at Ferrari. And once again Schumi accused Barrichello of whingeing.
Of course it’s never Schumis fault. Well in his mind anyway. Thankfully we have TV cameras and Stewards who can take a rational look at the evidence.
And what did they decide ?
They have handed down a 10-place grid penalty for the next grand prix in Belgium.
To my mind he should have been black flagged yesterday AND given the grid penalty for the next race.
Way To Go Webber !!!
In what could have been another processional race Mark Webber stormed to the finishing line to take the chequered flag to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and to take the number one slot for the championship as the F1 circus heads into the mid-season break.
What a performance Mark gave. A combination of the rolling out of the safety car followed by Vettel being given a drive thru penalty, after being caught asleep (his own words) when the safety car went in, put Webber in the front. But he still needed to pit for a tyre change. Mark then proceeded to lay down scorching lap after scorching lap until he had built the buffer he needed to allow him to pit and rejoin the circuit ahead of Alonso and his own team-mate, Vettel. After that there was no looking back.
Mark now leads the championship a position that he has every right to hold. However, although there is now a 3 week break Mark will not be able to rest on his laurels. There are only 20 points separating the top 5 drivers which is going to make the remaining seasons races very interesting.
But for the moment, well done Mark.
Shouldn’t this yob be sent to jail ?
Paul Rossie attacks an innocent passer-by, is given a suspended sentence by the court. Then the clown boasts about it on Facebook.
To me that has to be contempt of court and he should be re-arrested and jailed.
Congratulations to the crew of the Artemis.
They are a four-strong rowing team who set a new record for crossing the North Atlantic when they reached the finish line on Saturday. The previous record has stood for a 114 years and the team sheared 11 days off it rowing from New York to the Isles of Scilly off the southwest English mainland.
The new record now stands at 43 days, 21 hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds.
Well Done Lads
Huntley carried out a despicable crime and got caught. Now he is reaping his just rewards, one of which is that he has been attacked by another inmate. Well hard cheese. The old saying “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime” seems to apply here.
Its being stated that he could win £100,000 in compensation but it could cost the British Taxpayer £1 million in legal aid fees if he follows through with his plan to sue the Ministry of Justice .
Well here is one British Taxpayer who does not want to contribute anything to his legal aid.
What a kick in the teeth for the families of his victims, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
According to the Telegraph “American researchers found that a plant extract contained in the skin of red grapes helps protect the body against ageing”
Apparently they found that some substance found in grapes has been shown “to prolong life in yeast and animals such as roundworms and fruit flies”. On that basis they decided it would be a good idea to carry out a study on human beings.
So the scientists carried out a study on twenty human subjects of which only ten were actually given the substance over a trial period of six weeks. The results of this experiment apparently show that the substance, “resveratrol” , can have beneficial effects which could reduce the possibility of developing diabetes, heart problems, strokes and ageing.
On that basis alone I intend to carry on with my own experiment, to carry on drinking red wine which is my favourite tipple.
What I need to know is how many bottles a week I need to consume ?
I presume that the reduction in cholesterol that other scientific reports have indicated are not negated by this new substance.
And another question, Does this resveratrol negate the negative effects of the alcohol contained in wine.
I guess what I need is a scientific study which looks into all the reports that say that red wine is bad for you and balances them against all the reports that say red wine is good for you.
In the meantime I will humbly go ahead with my own experiment. Needless to say I won’t be publishing any reports.
However, I am prepared to participate in any official experiments. My preference is for full-bodied reds so if you could send experimental supplies to my home address at …….
