RYANAIR O'LEARY COMES UP WITH ANOTHER CRACKER.

It sounds as daft as he looks in this picture,but, Mr O'Leary insists his latest plan to offer free flights ...if you stand all the way is a winner.  Yes you read that correctly  no charge if you stand for your journey. We thought the toilet charge was daft but this one surpasses even that. There is no doubt some logic behind it, like squashing lots more people into the plane and, it conveniently gets rid of any complaints on the leg room front. Whatever you think of it,you must hand it to him for headline grabbing. I just hope he never sets a spanner on any plane I sit stand  in.

Jacko's Ghost and other Celeb Spooks.

You know we love a good ghost story to make us grumpy so we thought you may all like this. Jacko has already made a ghostly appearance but from Elvis  to Lennon this little list makes interesting reading. There are five listed here but there are sure to be more,if you know of any let us know. I have a mental picture of John Lennon kicking Jacko's ass for plundering the BEATLES back catalog. In ghostly form of course. 

Jackson tribute concert. As soon as July 13th. ????????

What do you do when the most valued member of your family dies?

DANCE & SING  if you are a Jackson it seems. Maybe I am being a bit too hard but We have not even had the memorial "show" or the "funeral show" (although you can get a celebrity bus ride to see the house where he died)and already the family are at an advanced  stage in rehearsals for a London show at the O2 Arena.  An attempt to cash in? Or what Michael really would have wanted? 

                          Old man Joe Jackson came up with the idea.........enough said. 

Pay Freeze for Public Sector. Welcome Aboard Guys.

Teachers are among the public sector workers who could soon be enjoying a pay freeze like most of their fellow workers in the private sector. So along with firemen,nurses,and doctors they will share some of the pain of the economic mess we find ourselves in thanks to the bankers.  As usual there will be no corresponding freeze on fuel prices council tax or national insurance which would help almost everyone. Already there are howls of protest and calls for strike action. So while lots of workers get pay cuts or job losses the public sector expect to be protected from all of this.Seems to me that if the boat needs bailing out we should all take a bucket.

The public sector have enjoyed better pay ,conditions, pensions and job security for many years and good luck to them but,if they continue to moan about their lot I can see that old familiar rift opening up where workers start to fall out with each other and,"divided we fall" becomes reality.  

Is this not precisely what brought the unions to their knees under Thatcher? 

Here we go again.   

Chip Fat Tan. Its the Latest craze. Heatwave goes to Scots Heads.

Right, we are just not convinced by this latest bit of stereotyping. Chip fat being used as a tanning oil may be not as daft as it first sounds. I can remember going to Spain in the 60's & 70's and all of the tanning products available then were oils of one kind or another. These simply helped cook or fry your skin to a nice "crisp mahogany" tan. Scots  however only need a few degrees above freezing to turn the skin from pale blue to pink.....so the chip fat story seems a bit of a leg pull.

   So the task here is to prove or dispel the story. If you do use chip fat for tanning oil tell us about it,or if you know someone who does  let us know .  Or... if you know someone who knows someone who knows some one who.............  

JACKSON'S HOME FULL OF DRUGS

The latest bit of "news" on the JACKSON story is the discovery of  powerful intravenous anesthetic found in the rented property where he died. The list of drugs just gets bigger by the day and it makes you think,  if all of the drugs in the average home were listed it would look pretty impressive. It is the type of stuff Jacko had around that makes it so strange. What is also very strange is the footage released of the singer rehearsing just two days before he died. He looks as well and fit as you might expect(he rarely looked well).  Having said that this was a man who abused his body in many strange ways over many years. Will the truth come out? Will the family conduct themselves in a quiet and dignified manner? probably not. And that is exactly what a media, news, and scandal hungry world wants. There is also a lot of money tied up in insurance and other guarantees that require  something other than an "natural causes" verdict to pay out.

                 YOU COULDN'T WRITE A BETTER SCRIPT....... OR COULD YOU?

            THERES A GUY WORKS DOWN OUR CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE'S ELVIS  

Puppy Rescued from Idotic Humans Or Is It me?

This dramatic picture is a one week old pup flushed down a toilet by a four year old.  A rescue bid by a plumber called to the scene saved the animal after four hours in a sewage pipe. On the face of it a tragedy averted,an accident corrected and all is well.  I don't think so. 

Why was the four year old "playing with the puppy" unsupervised.

                                                   How did he manage to take it outside to get dirty in the garden.

                                     Where was the mother and the other children while all of this went on.

       Yes the puppy was saved but for me thee are more serious questions to be asked here.

£8000 A Minute To Book Susan Boyle Worth It Or Not?

At around £140 a second you would expect a phenomenal show wouldn't you. Twelve minutes of Susan Boyle at £100,000 equates to a couple of songs or maybe even three if its a good night. The big worry is that after just three performances on the live tour where she has wowed audiences Susan has pulled out of the next concert on the tour after being advised to rest. There seems to be a lot of unease around the Cowel camp regarding Susan's future and they are being ultra cautious on the publicity front.  Whatever happens there is one thing for sure.....even Simon Cowel couldn't buy this kind of publicity.

IVF BLUNDER. Can It Get Much Worse.

It is hard to imagine a more shocking scenario but then again nothing surprises us in today's world. This hospital implanted a woman's last embryo in another patient by mistake. To make a bad situation even worse the woman who received the wrong embryo terminated the pregnancy.  The "accident in the lab" was one of those things that just could not happen and a junior technician has been blamed....of course.  We are tired of hearing this type of story where it is always stated it will never happen again,it was a genuine mistake and we have taken steps to ensure etc,etc,etc.   Fact of life,people make mistakes but by putting systems in place to detect and correct the mistakes we avoid catastrophes like this.   So the real question is  who was responsible for the control and procedures at this clinic? Let's have their head on a plate first of all........and ensure heads roll every time these"mistakes" happen.

Ramsay Served Up Humble Pie & Apologises for his Stupidity.

We  love all the cookery shows and the celebrity chefs.Gordon Ramsay is by far the most difficult one to watch and his constant swearing just becomes an aggravation very quickly. So his latest bit of hotboiling water in Australia is no surprise. Tracy Grimshaw the target of his outburst was said to be boiling over with rage and some events lined up for the chef have been cancelled. What is most annoying about Gordon is..If you watch his U.S. show ....hardly any f-words.His U.K.  show ...it's every second word. So that in itself tells you it is simply done for effect and the USA producers have told him that his language  is unacceptable.  PM Kevin Rudd has described him as "a new form of low life" and other political leaders are weighing in too. 

Best way to deal with a bully when you think about it.....give him some of his own back. Gordons Kitchen Nightmare may just become his own dose of reality.
