News...
Embattled Brown to bin rubbish tax in bid to win back Britain. He will tax something else instead.
How the British Government planned to deal with Armageddon: make sure we had enough tea. The last people to be allowed places in a nuclear bunker are civil servants. They serve no useful purpose and would only get in the way.
Britain's wide open prisons: 130 killers are among 14,000 convicts who have escaped from low-security jails. If we executed criminals we would not have this problem.
Obama tars Clinton with the Bush brush. He is in meltdown.
Boris Johnson to learn from Michael Bloomberg. Sod Bloomberg he needs to talk to Guiliani.
Berlusconi faces Muslim clash. Go for it. Some Europeans are starting to put up a fight against Islam. Pity our government wants to surrender.
US 'to send 7,000 extra troops to Afghanistan'. The US must remember who has failed to 'turn up' in Afghanistan and must make them pay in the future. there is no room in NATO for part-time members.
Morgan Tsvangirai undecided on run-off with President Robert Mugabe. The International Community must step in to oust Mugabe. Failing to deal with Mugabe will only encourage the Chavezes and other despotic scum who will now think they can act with total inpugnity.
and finally.....
Parachuting Dog Helped Win WWII
Robert Mugabe was asked when he was going to bid the Zimbabwean people farewell.
Looking puzzled, he answered, "Where are they going?"

Blog post of the Day.....
The guys at Maggie's Farm are 'screening' the entire series of 'The Day The Universe Changed' by James Burke
It was a great series and worth a look.
Two blonde guys......
Two blonde guys were working for the city works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole.
They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the other guy filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-man team. But today the guy who plants the trees called in sick."

Why?.....
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
What is the speed of darkness?
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours?
Are there specially reserved parking spaces for 'normal' people at the Special Olympics?
If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

THE LODGER
A couple take on an 19 year old girl as a lodger.She asked if she could have a bath but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bathroom and she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.
'Mondays the best night, when my husband goes out to darts', she said, so the
girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday.
After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched as the girl got undressed.She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair and told her husband when he came home.
He didn't believe her so she said, 'Next week I'll leave a gap in the curtains so that you can see for yourself'.
The following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked, 'Do you shave?'
'No', replied the girl. 'I've just never grown any hairs down there. Do you have hairs?'
'Oh yes', said the woman and she showed off her great, hairy muff. When the husband got back in she asked, 'Did you see it?'
'Yes', he said. 'But why the hell did you have to show her yours?'
'Why not?' she said. 'You've seen it all before.'
'I know', he said, 'but the f*cking darts team hadn't'!

A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down.
An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town. She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off.
The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a 'Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a' so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills.
When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final 'Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!' and rode off.
'What did you do to get that Indian so excited?' asked the service-station attendant. 'Nothing,' the woman answered. 'I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off.'
'Lady,' the attendant said, 'Indians don't use saddles.'

When his son refused to get a job, his father insisted he joins the Army.
At the induction physical, the medical doctor directed the reluctant recruit to read the eye chart across the room.
'What chart doc?' the young man asked.
'The one on the wall!' The doctor said.
'What wall?'
Sensing he had a deadbeat on his hands, the doctor asked his beautiful nurse to strip and walk in naked. 'What do you see now son?'
'Doc, I can't see a thing, I'm blind as a bat.'
'Well, you may not see anything,' the doctor said, 'but your dick is pointing straight toward Fort Campbell !! Pack your bags and welcome to the U.S. Army my boy.'

The Sunday Best.......
On-the-brink Brown battles for survival as backbencher threatens 'stalking horse' leadership challenge. And who would replace him. There is nobody in Labour with any brains or ability. We need a general election so we can get rid of the lot of them.
How scientists plan to recreate the Big Bang with the 7,000-ton Atlas detector. I am not entirely sure that this is a good idea!! The big bang is not something I would like to see recreated. Somethings are better left undiscovered. Expect large smoking crater to replace Europe!!
Robobug goes to war: Troops to use electronic insects to spot enemy 'by end of the year'. Great for a war enviroment but how long before the Government and Councils get their hands on them to spy on the rest of us?
Michelle Obama: Barack has hit boiling point. I can't wait for breaking point. Should be a laugh.
Those magnificent men of the RAF... a must read. My God those guys were brave.
Thousands of elderly abused in care homes. A disgrace. Why in this country do we treat our elderly so so little respect.
Cracks found in Hercules wings threaten to scupper vital military training exercises. Stop mucking about and buy some new ones. NOW.
MI6 chief visits Mossad for talks on Iran's nuclear threat. That is assuming that MI6 can find Israel!!!
Morgan Tsvangirai claims win and insists he will return to Zimbabwe. When he returns he may want to take an army with him!
United States is drawing up plans to strike on Iranian insurgency camp. Once again the media tip off our enemies.

Iraq update......from DJ Elliot.
Iraqi Security Forces Order of Battle: May 2008 Update
Iraqis begin to 'despise' the Mahdi Army in Baghdad's Rusafa district.
GMLRS strike knocks out Special Groups command center in Sadr City.
Security forces say kill 14 gunmen in Baghdad. DJ comments on this - 'False premis. Iraq is the natural counterbalance to Iran that blocks their extention of power into the arabian peninsula. Why should Tehran wand a "stable Shia-led Iraq" that has more liberal laws and democracy than Iran?'
