Putin is great? For us!

Putin is to be feared. We need to be prepared to stand up to him. We need the wake up call. For too long now we've been complacent sitting back and getting fat. We are cutting our armed forces and being weak. So maybe soon Putin  Will test us for real. He is showing us up. No sitting back getting fat for him. Like it or not he is galvanising his country and they Will be a formidable foe both militaryly and economically. We need stomach this. We need the kick up the backside. Suppose there was a war, all our young people would have purpose, no unemployment. Not nice to sacrifice lives but what about the wasted lives, drugs , and idleness make? Living death for many.
We'll see eh?

Life sentence?

How can it be that a prisoner serving multiple life sentences is allowed "out" of an open prison - less than 12 years afterwards ? How long is LIFE one may ask.

BGT Outrage

Inappropriate dancers cavorting before the watershed?
Britains got Talent is pushing the boundaries .
Personally its not a program that entertains me. Simon Cowell is there with Jeremy Clarkson as irritating as a mosquito bite.
Why a watershed? In these days of catchup tv and the internet kids can watch what they want when they want . It used to be that parents could be sure that before 9pm it was safe to let their children watch TV. Not so now. Even dull soaps are now spiced up at ant time of day. Topics whilst sometimes sanitised are not suitable viewing for children as young as 5. Corrie is not kids tv. I blame parents . They let children have tv and iinternet with no control. They get dvd s and games  from older children. Do parents know.
How DO we police this?

Clarkson has a foul mouth?

So Jezza has put his foot in it again,? Using a "naughty" word.

Now I'm not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, he does not amuse me and irritates like mosquito bite but on this occasion I am with him.

What is it with these "Language Police"? Certain words are now banned, they used to be OK but now you can't say them because you might "offend" someone.

For heaven's sake they are only a collection of letters pronounced In a certain way. Where is the offence? Surely it is the context that they are used. Will the Thought-Police ban all words that have other meanings that offend, its like 1984, Newspeak? Rewriting history will be next - the Holocaust never happened? Did William the Conqueror invade us or was he invited?

What about "Bl*ck Labradors" - will they all have to be Euthanized or given another name? "Un-white Labradors". Gosh I'm getting paranoid now - what dare I write - someone may get offended?

Didn't Guy Gibson, Dambuster and War Hero call his dog this "N" name? Now I hear they can't use it in the latest film of the Dam Busters!

Re-writing history has started.


Bah.

Amanda Knox - OJ Simpson for the 21st Century?

Funny thing about the Amanda Knox trial and retrial etc. - does anyone think she's really innocent?

Yes she's protested at the verdict - she doesn't want to go to jail, she's making money out of it.

Remember OJ Simpson? He virtually admitted it they just couldn't prove it - very good lawyers!

Has anyone actual heard Amanda say "I didn't do it"?

Don't forget the victim and her family, Meredith Kercher. The pain just goes on and on, come on Amanda do the decent thing. Tell the truth.

Dogs

dogs only come in one size. To dogs.

Dog Pooh

now i hate dog mess around as much as anyone . perhaps more as i'm a dog owner. it gives us responsible owners a bad name.
Worse is out and about idiots bag the pooh and leave it there . In the long run the plastic bag is worse for the environment . If You're in the country best thing is simply with a stick move the pooh into the undergrowth . It Will decay harmlessly there. No one Will see it or tread in it. My dog for his own reason likes to pooh in the nettles etc. Not on short grass. I hate those who ignore their dogs and leave its mess anywhere! As i say its these thoughtless owners who spoil it for the rest. They don't have to bag it, just flick it.
