March moans..

Heavens above! What a week..

Brown strutting around the EU trying to persuade all and sundry that the calamitous state of affairs in the UK is all the fault of everyone else and that we should all spend ourselves stupid in a bizarre and doomed attempt to climb out of the abyss.

In denial of the fact that the UK is likely to get screwed hardest of all by the current crisis because of his failure to monitor the situation, profligate spending and abject incompetence all round. And all this in the face of the comments by the Bank of England that the spendfest has to stop.

A government report (Rose) is expected to suggest primary school kids learn more about blogging and using Wikipedia. How sad. Another example of New Labour's mantra that IT is the answer to all society's ills and the key to some brave new world of educated, employable, highly-skilled and rounded citizens. I'd suggest 'illiterate and inarticulate computer nerds'.

Brown envelopes stuffed with used fivers? Another NuLab minister has been claiming shedloads of cash allowances for his parents' house despite his own home being convenient for Westminster. It seems he may not even have stayed there!

On top of Jacqui Smith's similar situation (ooh, er Mrs!) vis-a-vis her sister's house and other cases, it just goes to show that Labour have outsleazed the Tory administration of the mid-'90s in spades.

HomeCare that doesn't care..

An example of truly dismal customer service..   Chris O’Shea Group Chief Executive Centrica plc Millstream Maidenhead Road Windsor SL4 5GD   13 th  February 2021     Dear Mr O’Shea   British Gas HomeCare – Agreement No. xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx   I am writing to you with regard to the service being provided by your British Gas HomeCare division.   We had a new boiler fitted by British Gas in 2001 and have paid for British Gas HomeCare to cover Central Heating, Plumbing and Drains and Home Electrical since then, without a break as far as I can recall. Currently we pay an annual subscription of £290.76 and an excess of £50 per visit for the security of knowing we will have a range of domestic breakdowns attended to promptly.   We have used the service a number of times and usually found response times, outcomes and the professionalism of your personnel to be satisfactory or better. We have recommended the service to friends and relatives.   On Janu...

July's Merchant Bankers..

The start of July sees GOM marginally more irritated than usual - if such a thing is possible - as summer tends to bring society's most aggravating merchant bankers out from under their decking... The short daily walk to and from school with the children provides the perfect opportunity to view an abundance of prats at close quarter. Leading the field are the cretins who cannot walk the three hundred meters to the school and have no option but to park their Freelander two hundred meters from school, doing their best to create a local mini-gridlock. This group is closely followed by the drivers who feel that the pavement, despite being used by schoolkids and parents, is a useful route to take when the inevitable daily traffic snarl-ups start. Of course the hot weather can wreak havoc on women who have had to spend all day drinking coffee and blathering, going to the gym to drink coffee and blather and otherwise doing bugger all. Sensible, therefore, that once they have bagged a prim...

The 48-hour Twitter walkout..

Whilst making the most of forty-eight Twitter-free hours - actually, I (temporarily) deactivated my account on Sunday evening - I’ve realised there’s no outlet for intemperate rants about the endless succession of bloody irritating, if not infuriating, stories in the news, not least courtesy of the official state broadcaster, the (#DefundThe..) BBC. So, methinks, let’s update the blog! Delighted to see that ‘Sir’ – I do hope that boat has sailed! – Lewis Hamilton has decided to add being an ‘anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist’ to his portfolio of achievements, alongside race-baiting supporter of the anarcho-Marxist BLM organization. He may have deleted the message saying he hadn’t read the material, so he’s either a dolt or simply got caught being a pillock! And, regards ‘taking it up the ‘knee’’, our Lewis’ll be making damn sure that the half dozen F1 drivers who ARE standing up against compulsory breast-beating and the wearing of hair-shirts get as much negative exposure as he ...
