Maybe now we will see some racing?

The Formula 1 world championship will this year, for the first time ever, be decided on who wins the most races. Only if there is a tie at the end of the season will second place be worth anything! Finally these drivers will have to go out and do what they are paid for and actually race the cars.

There will be no point backing off and settling for second or third place just to get points. There will be no more taking it easy to preserve the engine for the next race. It is now win or nothing.

Maybe now at last we will actually get to see some racing, assuming the BBC don't break off with two laps to go to show the cricket. Well that is the theory anyway but will it actually produce close racing?

If I was an F1 team manager who had spent £250 million on my cars as soon as I realised that they were not going to win and were actually driving round and round the track for no reason whatsover I would just pull them in the pits, save the fuel and tyre costs, negate the risk of them crashing or blowing up expensive engines and wait until the next race. If I found they were off the pace in qualifying I might even not start the race at all.

So it's a bold move. It could result in better racing. It could also make it, quite literally, pointless.

Another waste of our money

Rather than deal with the mindless minority who turn our streets into war zones every weekend this incompetent government put up taxes on alcohol instead in an effort to curb alcohol abuse.

Then rather than insist that every pub has a smoking and a no smoking area they decided to treat smokers like children and force them outside into the rain and cold to smoke something they can quite legally buy in any garage, supermarket, newsdagent and most pubs.

The result, as anyone with any common sense could have predicted, is a huge loss of trade for pubs, 75,000 people in the pub industry out of work and pubs closing down every day.

The clowns in Westminsters answer to this? They have set up a 1.3 billion pound fun, with our money, for pub landlords who are struggling to get loans to borrow from! And of course to create another load of paper work and to employ another load of pen pushers on state pensions all payed for by us.

Surely the most effective way of dealing with this problem would be to allow pubs to have smoking rooms inside and to lower the tax on alcohol for products sold on licenced premises?

This is just another excuse to get more people on the public pay roll and voting for Labour and just another waste of tax payers money from a corrupt, immoral, thieving bunch of scum who masquerade as a government.

Well we survived. Adults Only

As you have probably guessed we made it through the last lot of chemo in one piece. Apart from the nausea, the pain, the horrible taste in our mouth, the tiredness, the constant aching etc it all went quite well!

We now have a scan on Thursday which will determine if the chemo is actually doing anything and will determine if we will die around September or hold on until Christmas. We are really looking forward to it!

So, to cheer us all up, here is a babe in some boots. Enjoy her here.

Worlds biggest shuttlecock.

The people at the Guiness book of records last week thought they had discovered the worlds biggest shuttlecock.

It turned out to be Jade Goody in her wedding dress.

A simple solution. Adults Only

While our MP's and bankers continue to line their own pockets our economy continues to collapse. Gormless Gordons latest great idea is to print more money and give it to the banks, so they can pay bigger bonuses and lose it again, just like they did the last lot and the one before that.

So I have a better, much simpler idea. Print more money, give 10% to customs and immigration so they can weed out the illegal immigrants and kick them out so they are no longer costing us all money. Use 10% to build more prisons so we can lock up our criminals and reduce the cost of crime to the tax payer.

Then give everybody on the electoral roll, who isn't in prison or living abroad, £5000 each. Those who don't need the money will invest it and ease the banking crisis. Those struggling to pay their mortgages will be able to afford them and not lose their homes. Those with small businesses can put the money into their business and stop themselves going bust. The rest of us will spend it, boosting the economy and keeping people in jobs.

It is the perfect solution to our problems except that it doesn't give the government any way of lining their own pockets and goes against their socialist principles of keeping the poor in their place.

So instead they will give it all to the banks and nothing will change.

Here is a bird.
