Jeez

I get really f...ed up with people using phrases that are just not right.............

for example

sodding news readers that say ..........'ahead of' eg., 'ahead of next weeks summit', where the fuck did that come from? whats wrong with 'before'???

Also when I hear people saying that something was decimated, like its a bad thing, if it's decimated, there is 90% left, thats good, isnt it?

I know if my wallet contents were decimated after a night on the lash I'd be pretty happy about that!

People trying to sound sophisticated by saying ...'going forward'! wtf the matter with 'in future'????

I serioulsy want to strangle any 'female pudenda' that says someone or thing is 'iconic', no they/it's not they/it's just slightly memorable.
Jeeez.........

Thoughts for my day.

Feeling Devalued

How nice for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi that, despite his murky dealings with the London School of Economics, he can still call himself “Dr Gaddafi”. Admittedly, he spent thousands of pounds on private “advice”, and there’s a strong suspicion that he employed a ghost writer. But the university, after due consideration, is letting him keep his degree. I wish I’d known the rules were so flexible when I spent years flogging my guts out to get my various and numerous qualifications. Ditto for both my children. The saddo Saif, with, allegedly, assistance from a certain former Prime Minister has effectively devalued one of the pillars of the British education system! ...kin charmin!

Speed was a Newark (anag)

2 Para Reg Support & 2 Rifles on Op Herrick 15: Gary Speed, a sports manager, takes his own life and receives a stupendous amount of respects and homage paid to him today. A soldier from 5 Rifles was also killed today, half Gary's age and died whilst serving our country, yet all he receives is a ten second mention on the radio then the world forgets him. I hate that we live in a world where the only deaths we concern ourselves with are celebrities, not heroes.

A Humanist on religion

Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one.
It's fine to be proud of it.
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around....
and PLEASE dont try and shove it down my childrens throats.

British veterans 'should not be allowed to wear medals awarded by other Commonwealth nations

It was mine and WOI Peter Padley's honour and priviledge to organise and arrange for 155 former military personell to be awarded the PJM at a ceremony in Alicante in 2007. The ceremony was presided over by The Malaysian Defence Attache, Colonel Tadjri Alwi who gave a moving and eloquent eulogy to the assembled 450 recipients and families present. The damp eyes evident amongst the veterans as they were awarded their PJM was clear to see. How dare the armchair warriors in the Commons even speak about these people who are evidently now part of yet another of Britains 'Forgotten Armies'.

It's peculiar how the Assies and the Kiwis have official permission from the Queen to wear the PJM but her own British subjects cannot! What happened to the Commonwealth????????????

In reality, there is no way of policing this foolish piece of legislation! The current survivors of the 'Confrontation' (a euphemism if ever there was one) who spent a year or more in the stinking, hot and humid jungles of Borneo, often in great danger from the enemy, have been given a legitimate gift by the Malaysian Government. No medal-less politician can even imagine the circumstances let alone judge who should display the award. Oddly, I also officially wear the Pingat Laila Tugas presented by the Sultan of Brunei and this, in their infinite wisdom, is OK to display. Double standards and duplicity from the back-benches as usual. Worse from DC who promised, in oposition, to allow us to wear the PJM.
