Am I a Loser or Am I a Winner ?
Am I a Loser ? well maybe but you could also be a winner !
We’re looking at the things that are on the up and those on the slide again
Here are the people and things I, in my infinite wisdom, think are currently enjoying the warm currents of the gulf stream and those enduring an icy Antarctic blast
The Gulf Stream
Pouting Lips
Women with fuller ‘bee stung lips’ look younger - apparently it’s official
Being an Electrician with the Local Council
An electrician was paid £126,000 in one year by the council he works for - tax payer funded bonus scheme it seems
Frank Field - Labour MP
One of the few politicians of any party who talks sense - somebody give him more authority !
Ainsley Harriott
Thai chicken and lemon grass cup-a-soups - nice work fella !
Pamela Anderson
She’s single yet again - after previous disappointments seen here and here my time must be coming !
An Icy Blast
Lewis Hamilton
He’s lost his Pussycat Doll - that really is a blow !
Teenage Vocabulary
An 800 word vocabulary makes many teenagers unemployable says latest research.
The most popular words used being ‘yeah’ - ‘but’ - ‘like’ and ‘lol’ !
Pubs and Bars
Still shutting at a rate of 52 a week in the UK ! How long before there’s hardly any left, especially in less densely populated areas.
Smoking is is mentioned as a big cause, we discussed the ban before it happened and sometime after
David Beckham’s Tattoos
Enough already - you don’t need any more - this was more than enough!
Gerard Butler
Given a dose of what Hollywood women have to put up with when he was blasted by Liz Jones for having ‘man boobs’ and a fat belly following paparazzi pictures of him on the beach. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander !
Profiteering with the VAT Increase
It seems many stores have used the VAT increase as a chance to raise prices above and beyond the actual rise in Value Added Tax
Demi Moore on Twitter
What you say on Twitter is not news ! - newspapers please take note
Here’s another picture taken by an award winning Lincolnshire photographer 
(the photographer would be me and the award I won was Goldeneye Rare Books’ Employee of the Month)

Rod,
Hear hear! to the Frank Field proposal. Heron; right DOF…..needs to be Golden Sectioned though. Maps e-mailed.

Amiguru,
You’re hopeful aren’t you… Rod’s idea of the Divine Proportion probably has more to do with Pamela Anderson than the study of placement within a mathematical grid?
We should be grateful that he focuses here on the feathered Nocton Fen dwellers where his nerve remains steady…. lord knows what his mental state might become should he ever meet the divine Miss A…. some degree of camera shake certainly, mathematical placement consideration highly unlikely

Cid,
That which fascinating Pythagoras and Euclid must surely appeal to Goldeneye. Come to think about it, there is an appropriateness in the shape of the representing Greek symbol ф for the Golden Section when applied to P.A.

Amiguru,
I worry that we might lose Rod with a subject like ф … I doubt he gave it much thought when planting out next season’s root veg for instance. I, on the other hand, spend most of my life pondering aesthetics in one way or another…. whether they meet with the stringent laws of ф I cannot guarantee, in fact I’m pretty certain that the exact placement of my drainage un-blocking apparatus in the shed, would leave poor old Pythagoras cold
Cid
p.s. do we have any hard evidence that Pythagoras and Euclid weren’t women?

Σιδ,
Love your double-entendres, (or should I now say ‘ἀδιανοετά’,) in the shed! You can’t keep him captive you know unless you pay him a ф
They were presumably blokes as Πυθαγόρας has a male ending as does Εὐκλίδης. Female names usually end in α, as in Ἡλέκτρα, or η, as in Εὐρώπη.
