I am glad to see that they marched in London today and they expressed the feeling to the murderous attempted bombers that they would not be cowed out of doing it. Well done all who took part.

Do they think that they are going to bomb us into submission? Do they think that we will give in to whatever demands that they make?

If they do they are so far wide of the mark as to be insane.

These incidents do no good at all for anybody. All that will happen is that when the filth doing this are identified they will just make the population of this country even more alienated towards whichever part of society they claim they represent.

Perhaps that is what they want?

Power to the elbow of the young lady interviewed on the tv this morning.

"Worried by these bombs. No not really. It is now part of life. What do they think we are going to do? Stop living our lives because of them?"

Well said girl. Seems to be a good thought process for all of us, no?

"Wears a badly thought out wig" it says.

What? A disgusting slur on my head I think.

No rug, no glue and as Eric used to say " You can't see the join".

Nothing false attached to me, apart from a couple of teeth and a carbon fibre achilles tendon.

Reminds me of a joke though.

Newlyweds on their wedding night. Bloke in bed revved up, wife sitting at the dressing table. She takes off her wig. She takes off her make-up. She takes off her false eye-lashes. She takes off her padded bra. She takes off her false leg.

"For Christ sake" says the blike, "When you get to the bit that I want just throw it over will you".

As much as I like a joke, and forthright comment, I find the entry Ireland Part 1 to be nothing other than a racist tirade. I would suggest that if a posting like this had appeared regarding Muslims, Jews, Asians or Blacks there would be outrage, and quite rightly so.

That is my take on it and I will be reporting it personally both by flagging and email.

Pity really I was hoping she had been arrested by the taste police because of those horrible tattoos!!!!!

Why on earth would any female want to do that to themselves?

Makes Freddie Kreuger look like a sunday school teacher.

Don't see the new Prime Minister Brown changing my perception!!!!

Anybody anything to offer in defence of the colour brown?

Thankfully the little lad appears to be smarter than the Taliban themselves.

Clink on the link below for the full story:

Given that some areas have received a months rain in an hour and the flooding has not been this bad and absolutley not this widespread in living memory are they being a bit unfair.

Surely the emergency services can only do what they can do! They are not super-human and there is a limited number of them. Sometimes they are going to be swamped, perhaps not the best word, by what is happening and aren't going to be able to cope.

I have the utmost sympathy for those people who have been flooded out. I suggest it isn't fair to complain about the emergency services in this scenario though. They have probably done more than should be expected of them and not less.

After the way he has behaved over Iraq does anybody really think that the Palestinians are going to trust anything he actually says or does?

It beggars belief.

Almost as much as the reported £100,000 he will be paid in the role.

Bit like making Hannibal the Cannibal chief media officer for the Vegitarian Society I reckon.

"I need a pet, something exotic" he says.

"I have just the thing" replies the shop owner, "A giant millipede, really interesting and exotic".

"Right I'll take it" says the bloke.

He takes it home in a white cardboard box.

Couple of hours later he is bored and decides to go for a pint.

He knocks on the lid of the box and says to the millipede,

"I'm going down the Nags Head for a pint, do you fancy coming?".

There is no reply.

10 minutes later he tries again. Knocks on the lid and says "I'm going to the local for a beer, do you fancy one?"

Again there is no answer.

After another 10 minutes he lifts the lid off the box and bellows "I'm off for a pint, you coming?".

The millipede says,

"I heard you first time and there's no need to shout. Just give me another couple of minutes to finish putting me shoes on".

Yes we have had a drop of rain. Roads flooded and impassable, houses flooded and nearly every local school closed.

My allotment is under water to a depth where I cannot see either my strawberry plants or my onion sets above the surface. God only know how I am going to save the plants.

Taken some photos of the above on my mobile but couldnt get close enough to the subjects to really do them justice. Will have a fiddle when I get home and see what I can do.

The forecast? Well you guessed it.. RAIN!!

Roll on summer.

Is that really news? Who cares?

All the media jumping on the bandwagon. That makes a change.

As a Pro member of this site, i.e. we pay for the privilege to use it, should we not be having our say about what actually appears on here, directly to BCUK.

There appears to me to be several less than savoury blogs on here. The one being pointed out by Normalguy being one of the worst. There are also very plainly pornographic blogs, one of which I emailed to the administrators some time ago which is still in existence, and that I emailed again for some action to be taken, that the admin people do not seem to be doing a lot about.

I have no real wish to call for censorship on here, but where blogs are blatantly stepping outside the conditions of usage of this site they should be dealt with. Also where threats are being made and extreme views are being expounded then something should be done.

I wish to enjoy myself on here, have arguments, laughs and banter, and I pay for the privilege of doing so.

I most certainly do not wish to pay towards the upkeep of a blogging community that is not being run in line with the regulations of the site.

If we pulled out of paying for this service, how long would this keep going without funding?

Perhaps we should be using our clout to get this site running in a way that we all signed up for and everybody else on here.

Spoke to a couple of blokes there and the both said they hadn't done well either. Reckon it's the horrible wet and cold weather that we have had over the last month or so. Bring back global warming, I have lost of other crops in and I don't want to see them all perform as badly.

Gordon Brown will have a coronation and be made leader of the Labour party and Prime Minister. The fact that he is going to be Prime Minister at all is a sadness but the fact that nobody has been allowed to vote for him to take the position is an affront to this nation and democracy as a whole.

We are told that there were no serious contenders for the post. What does that say about the Labour Party then? So that being said, no election. I would suggest that this has had a debilitating effect on the grass roots of the Labour Party as a whole. Only 25% of those eligible to vote in the Deputy Leadership contest did so, and a huge proportion of that small number would be cast by the unions.

This type of lack of care for democracy has been going on for the last 10 years since Tony Blair came to office. This is now, hopefully, the bottom of the plummet. Not sure it will be though.

The Labour Party and this government are now a complete and utter joke. Unfortunately they are the only ones that cannot see it!!

With it now being the end of June, nobody has told the weather obviously, thought it might be fun to get a handle on peoples favourite holiday destinations.

Cast you net far and wide. Here in the UK or as far abroad as you like. Would be nice to know why also?

Now what has emerged is that those being freed are going to be given £200 each in cash as spending money. WHAT????????

They are being given their freedom back 3 weeks early and then given money to go and celebrate the fact? The money as I say is going to be given in cash so they can do with it what they will.  The prison governers have been given instruction to make sure they have enough readies in their jails so that none of the poor unfortunates miss out.

Of the 2.5 million pounds that this is going to cost us, the ever suffering taxpayer, just what percentage will be spent on booze or drugs?

I will leave you with that thought.

Thank you once again Labour.

Looking out of the window even the weather has got the blues at the thought. Looking at the forecast it is going to be down to 12 degs C by Tuesday. Joy of joys.

Hopefully we can keep the bad weather for a couple of weeks and then it can all clear up in time for my holiday. Yes. I hope so.

Have a good weekend everybody. I thought i would just cheer you up and lighten your load going into it so that you can all enjoy.

The government has looked at the above and is at present deciding whether or not to go ahead with an inoculation programme which will save those thousand lives a year.

Nurse "You really must stop mastrubating Mr Smith"

Mr Smith "Why is that nurse?"

Nurse " Because until you do I can't examine you".

Well I thought it was funny anyway.

Don't mean to be rude if I don't answer comments for a while it is just that I am so damn busy at the moment that I can't get on here as often as I would like.

Sorry if anybody gets a bit uppity about my tardiness sometimes but it is the best i can do.
