Carla Bruni’s Lingerie & Other Important Issues
Carla Bruni’s Underwear
Yes folks you might think it’s making mountains out of a couple of molehills but the pressing issue this week seems to be should Carla Bruni have worn a bra 
We’ll examine this and other hot topics in this weeks hot shots and damp squibs
Thank goodness that’s all the world has to worry about . . .
Firm and Pert
Gordon Brown
Clears himself of any responsibility for troops equipment shortages. “It was all the general’s fault”
That’s alright then, we believe you Gord !
Synarchists
Was synarchy and the synarchists ultimately responsible for creating the European Union and the single currency ?
MacDonald’s for Slimming
Yes you heard it right, a new range for the fast food giant is to be endorsed by Weight Watchers. Needless to say there’s outcry, though presumably not for those lacking any self discipline members of Weight Watchers.
I wonder if it will be like the healthy meal salads they launched with a fanfare that time - their ‘Ranch Salad’ turned out to have more fat and calories in it than a Big Mac !
Clever Wives
It seems for the ideal marriage the wife should be 27% more intelligent than the husband.
Everything that’s rushing into my mind now will get me into trouble so I’ll let you digest that ’scientific fact’ yourself
The Hamlyn Guide to Birds of Britain
I used it this afternoon to identify the birds I photographed whilst out today. Inside is an inscription written by me and dated 17.6.78
I bought that when I was 12 years old 
Marvellous memories . . . and I’m back there again
Grimsby Goes to Hollywood
Well not quite . . . but in what seems like a hell of a stretch, even for the well known stretchers at the local organ, the Grimsby Telegraph trumpeted a connection with Grimsby and non other than Johnny Depp.
There’s a blog post here thought I with ever the eye open to save you from another church
Well, the connection was that somebody connected to Grimsby is also connected to some of the singing on the backing tracks to the new Alice in Wonderland movie
Desperate times call for desperate measure I suppose
Needing Support
Footballers
According to Manchester Rovers leader the pitch at Wembley is leaving his players drained and unable to play !
Perhaps more money might be an incentive for them !
Parents Choosing their Child’s School
It seems many are disappointed because they’re not getting their first choice ! And that’s surprising is it ?
Tell me how this choice nonsense can ever work. Virtually everybody will always select the best school, university or hospital etc - nobody will choose ones deemed lesser therefore most will be disappointed. The whole choice idea is nonsense - I can’t believe people got suckered into believing it !
Thin Eyebrows
Seems women with thin or sparse eyebrows no longer have to suffer - they are now offering eyebrow transplants for those desirous of the more hirsute look.
Carla Bruni
Yes, she should have worn a bra . . . there the oracle has spoken - the debate is over 
Drink Driving
If you’re young don’t get in a car with somebody who has been drinking !
If you’re old you should know better and you can pay if you lose the bet.
A young life was lost not far from me this week - it should never happen, there’s enough risk in life with creating unnecessarily stupid ones.
And just in case you thought everything was rubbish - somethings are just perfect and always work in perfect harmony - those left to Mother Nature !

Rod,
A great post and a lovely picture.
Here’s a couple of mine, just grumpy today I’m afraid
1. Apalling weather when I’m off, glorious when I’m not
2. Staff leaving without notice… at four o’ clock in the morning from their staff accomodation so they don’t have to face anyone.
3. Having to explain the concept of toast to a fully qualified ‘chef’
4. BT online payment…sort it out.
5. Council’s going to weigh my rubbish and then charge me. So what does my £100 per month go on then, apart from the usual pre end of tax year road works?
6. Politicians hailing the late Michael Foot….the same ones who declared him a s***house in the early eighties. Say it how it is, very intelligent, a kind man but a disaster as a political leader. Just like your current one!
7. Not being able to do what my brother does.
Hasta pronto,
LB

Rod,
Fab photo,
Heres my moans:
1.People not turning up when they say they are coming!
2.Whole house a mess, when only one is being decorated!
3.Kids not wanting to get up on school days, but up at 7.30am at the weekend!
Good times!
1.Decluttering, why keep things I do not need?
2.Sunny days
3.Being slim.

LB,
staff and toast just equal wimps ! So many people are simply so soft now - presumably they burst into tears and run back to their mothers !
You wouldn’t have this problem with men like former gunner Len Copsey !!!
As to ‘online payments’ the phrase alone should have warned you.
BT kindly charge me £4.50 for every bill they send me
Your £100 a month goes toward the lesbian Lithuanian single mother’s free house and life - it makes it all worth while when you know you’re helping her because she was taunted at home for being a gypsy so now we look after her to the tune of £52,000 a year (true story)
As to Michael Foot all I have to say about him is . . .
Donkey jacket - cenotaph - Remembrance Sunday
I’ve no respect for a man that showed no respect for those who died so he could be pursue his theoretical communist ideals - good riddance !
Hasta pronto, sounds like a microwave meal - is that more chef talk ?
Cheers
Rod

FF,
I try to avoid any potentail for this ‘turning up’ business - it’s far too stressful for me and inevitably ends in them being late or not turning up - best avoided I find.
You should thrash the kids on a daily basis - that’ll take care of everything
The sun changes everything - it’s incredible how different you feel just being in it - love it - I’d go to the Bahamas if it was in Lincolnshire
As to being slim - nothing tastes as good as skinny feels !
Regards
Rod

Femme Fatale,
Perhaps you could come over to my house every second Friday, my ‘waste disposal technicians’ leave any excess rubbish on my drive. Throwing an empty box into the back of the wagon constitutes a health and safety assesment.

Rod,
