May 5th is the referendum on voting reform, sadly the only choice is to keep it as it is FPTP (first past the post) or AV (alternative vote), obviously I would prefer PR (proportional representation) but that's not on the list.Anything that gives me a slight chance of not having a Tory MP is OK with me so I'll be voting yes to AV even though I doubt it will win.Anyway this video explains it all

Anyone else think it's a bit ironic that the the police blamed "drunken behaviour" for the mini riot that smashed an unwanted Tesco branch in Bristol yesterday.I wonder if they'd got their booze from Tesco before it was attacked?

Always thought this was a great advert.Basically pointing out that you shouldn't take everything at face value, seen from a different point of view the whole context is changed.

Well it's 2011 already, and about 7 months since I updated this blog!!Doesn't time fly when your not having fun.Politics8 Months of Tory (or coalition?) rule that has been pretty much as I thought, the rich still getting richer the poor getting even poorer.I can't believe every Tory interviewed still trots out the "labour legacy" line no matter what the question, the facts were all there before

Brown's gone and Labour are looking for a new leader which in my opinion isn't an easy task as none of the front runners inspire me much.Ed Balls (with a name like that he's bound to talk bollocks, which he usually does), David Milliband (who as some radio host pointed out isn't even the best politician in his own family), Harriet Harman (have no idea why anyone would put her forward?), Andy

So it's a hung parliament the Tories leading with 306, Labour 258, Lib Dems 57, Others 28 with 1 still to come.Percentage wise the Tories (36%) actually beat "none of the above" who only had 35% this time whose share was bolstered by thousands of people who couldn't vote due to being locked out of polling stations after queueing for hours, or by some polling stations running out of voting slips?

Actually sat through about 7 hours of the TV election coverage, and have no idea why I bothered.The choice was the BBC who seem to have spent a fortune of the licence payers money on a huge set, silly high tech graphics and a boat load of minor celebrities.I do like David Dimbleby who does seem to remain impartial unlike some of his co-presenters, I have no idea why the employ Andrew Neil who

Every TV news programme seems to feature a selection of polls every day, with a selection of results, the one carried out by the Sun usually has the Tories with a clear lead, the Guardian one has the Lib Dem's almost level with the tories and others vary quite a lot.I decided to poll work colleagues about the election, I currently work in South Basildon at a company with about 70% of the

The election is just round the corner so probably time to write something.My own political views probably don't make sense to many of you as when I was young I chose my allegiance and have no plans to change it, in the same way as in football I will always support West Ham despite them being a bit crap at the moment I will also support Labour despite them also being crap at the moment.I remember

My trip to work takes me down the A127 in Essex, over the last year average speed cameras have been installed from Southend to the outskirts of Basildon reducing the speed limit from 70mph to 50mph.Without going into the rights and wrongs of that decision the one thing I'm always amused with is the amount of people who don't understand the concept of "average speed", every day I see drivers

Thanks to Mr Minger for the abuse, as it was the first comment on this blog in over 4 months I'll look at the positives - at least someone still reads this shit :)Also it actually reminded me that I have this blog, which I'm sad to say had been forgotten or more truthfully neglected.Not a lot of positives in my life at the moment so writing of despair and despondency doesn't make for happy

I read that illegal downloads are costing the British economy £12 billion a year?Apart from the obvious fact that the majority of illegal downloads are of songs, films, games that you wouldn't buy anyway, it seems to assume that the money you save isn't being spent on anything else.Surely most of us use the money we save from downloading illegaly to buy life's little luxuries like food, rent, gas

Fair play to Morrisons at the moment, they are selling their "energy saving" 20W (100W) lightbulbs for 29p for a pack of 2 and you get 4 free, so 29p for 6 or less than 5p each.Surely this is the best way to promote us to change to the energy savers, rather than trying to make us all feel guilty.Nice to see that these have come down in price even in the big DIY retailers who were selling them at

Well today was the day I had to sign on for the first time in a lot of years.I had submitted my claim nearly a month ago and have yet to hear from them or get a penny :(The wife and I had signing on times of 2.05 and 2.10pm so we turn up at 2pm and ask where we have to go? as the layout is all open plan and not as regimented as it used to be.We are finally shown who to see and arrive at her desk

Have applied for a few local jobs, but yet to hear anything :(So I registered with an online employment agency which is supposedly the biggest in the UK.Not a great start as I specified a travelling distance of up to 30 miles, which is usually about an hour in rush hour which seemed reasonable.So they've sent me the same 2 jobs every day since registering, the first reasonably local which I

Well I'll wish anyone who reads this a Happy New Year and hope you have a good one.For myself it's a case of the only way is up (although there is a possibility of dropping some more).So I'm out of a job and almost penniless due to a combination of pride, stupidity, over generosity, and generally burying my head in the sand for the last 6 months.I finally signed on as unemployed just before

Not sure whether it's an age thing but the days, months and years seem to just fly by for me.Dropped my son off at Uni in September and it seems like only a few weeks back, but he's back tomorrow after over 3 months of being away.The wife's big operation was five months ago and that also seems like only weeks ago.Has the world speeded up or are the things I do nowadays responsible, watching TV,

I wonder what the chances are that the people who have sent me all that junk mail recently read my little rant the other day?Just seemed strange that I've just checked my mailbox and not one single mail about Viagra, Rolexes or College degrees were there, usually it's at least ten per day at the minimum.Got my customary bank scam one which was kinda funny as the link to verify my account had an

So all the high street shops are offering massive discounts in the attempt to get credit crunch hit families in before Christmas.Now I'm cynical of all "half price" and "60% off" type discounts as over and over again I see products still costing the same as they used to before the discounts, there are laws against this but the department that enforces it must be totally overrun as every store is

Strange thing happened the other night while watching the news on TV, they announced the death of Oliver Postgate and I suddenly felt incredibly sad :(Know I didn't know the man and to be honest I probably would never have even recognised him if I saw him, but I felt the sort of sadness you only get when a loved family member or close friend dies.For anyone who hasn't heard of him he was the

Since having a computer and e-mail I've always received junk mail but lately it's getting ridiculous.The pic (left) is a small selection of the 200+ junk mails I've had in the last week, I don't know any of the people in the "from" or "to" boxes and if your name is there it probably means your computer is carrying some sort of trojan / mailing worm and you need to run anti-virus.I hate to think

So I go into the bank today (the one who cut my overdraft after I used it for the first time in years) to deposit the money they wanted after withdrawing it from my gambling account.I decide not to have an argument over their pretty shitty way of treating me so I'm reasonably calm at the counter and then the assistant says to me "have you received a leaflet about the banking changes?", "No" I say

20+ Years of video collection (and even some bought at full price).Now they're all worth less than 50p each :(Might just be me? but some of the later ones were pretty poor quality even when bought new.Would that have been the companies trying to persaude you that you needed to buy them all again on DVD for top quality?I wonder if the quality of DVD's will now start to diminish in the hope that we

They love you when you've got plenty of money, but as soon as time's get hard they just want to drop you.Not the first time it's happened to me but it still pisses you off, when I had a fair amount of money with them and a regular wage it was "we love you" and here's a bigger overdraft even though you've never asked for it.But as soon as you go overdrawn its "we've had to review your overdraft

Received an e-mail from Direct Line offering me car insurance with vandalism cover.The headline was "are you worried about the car vandalism in my town", now I hadn't heard about any vandalism in my town so wondered why they mentioned it?Three days later I read the local paper and it reported a spate of car vandalism had occurred the day before in my town.Coincidence maybe?I can't help thinking

I've finally found a reason for using Facebook, the addictive games.Loads of gangster games like Mob Wars, Mafia wars, Gang wars etc where you can gather together mobs of "friends" (or people you'll never ever meet or know) to go around committing various crimes and murders in this virtual world.Bad taste yes, but really addictive.

The wife cashed in her Tesco shares a couple of months back as she wanted to get another car (or old banger).She'd accrued them while working for Tesco's for many years and they were worth about a grand.I thought she was mad as one company in Britain that seems to always be on the up is Tesco's due to them taking over every free space and garage around (we have around ten of their outlets within

I was wondering at what age you get old? I'm now in my 40's and have 2 grandchildren, but still feel and act like someone who's half my age.Is there a point you reach when you suddenly start disliking modern music and stop playing games and go buy yourself some slippers?Am I embarrassing to my kids, they haven't said anything and still ask my advice on what bands are hot at the moment and how to

One of the many bank scam e-mails I've received this week, this one took my notice due to the really obvious error of pretending to be from the Abbey bank and using a Nationwide e-mail address?The "Security advice" banner is from the Nat West and the link to verify your account details points to jhallman.com who if you google them are supposed to be suppliers of "Back to the Future" props!!

Went to see Lee Evans at the Wembley Arena last night (the wife is a big fan) and mostly he was as manic and funny as always.The "Big" show was 3 hours (with a 20 minute break in the middle) and Lee was his hyperactive self throughout, getting through 3 suits in that time he reminds me of the guy from the Lynx advert with the gushing armpits, he certainly sweats a lot.It was the first time I'd

Over 50% of the TV news taken up again by the Ross/Brand story (sigh!).Latest is the BBC are being urged to censor some of it's best shows to please the moral minority, with the brilliant "Mock the week" the latest target.MTW star turn Frankie Boyle (pictured) is in my opinion the funniest comedian to be seen on TV at the moment and his irreverant comments have me in stitches every week, but as

The credit crunch, the American election, Bombings in India, Freak weather and flooding in Devon, The Menezes trial, The Congo crisis, Earthquakes in Pakistan, All are worthy news stories to justify coverage on news programmes this week.So what do we get taking up most of the allocated news time?

Just to show how up with the news I am, I've only just read that Gordon Brown (UK prime minister) is blind in one eye and has been for 42 years.The fact I haven't bought a newspaper in over 10 years, and that I rarely watch TV news has probably got something to do with that.Although the truth was always the main thing missing from newspapers so they probably didn't know either.

It seems I've won £850,000 from the UK lottery board ... yipee!!But then I ask the question if it's the UK lottery board, why does the e-mail eminate from westga.edu (which is supposed to be the University of West Georgia in the USA) and if I Google the claims department phone number it seems I am only one of thousands of people that have won £850,000 and have reported this e-mail as suspicious?

Interesting to watch a programme last week by Esther Rantzen who started the Childline charity to offer help to abused children many years back.Probably seems two-faced to bring this up after a post about kids getting a beating for doing wrong, but I'm sure you'll realise the difference.There is no excuse for the type of people who abuse children (physically, mentally or sexually), and these

Anti Social behaviour, is it a growing problem or is it the same as it's always been but just reported more?When I look back on my youth I see a lot of similarities.I first had a knife held at my throat at age 14, although knives were everywhere throughout my childhood, virtually everyone carried one (including me) but almost no-one would dream of using them.Fights were commonplace but were

Something that used to be a bit of a joke (or maybe the truth?) was that when financial institutions were having a bad time it was worth looking up when going near any of their buildings, in case another businessman who's investments had failed decided to end it all by jumping out of the window and ending it all.Might have missed it if it has happened recently, but as far as I know none of them

I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for all these people that appear on television complaining that their saving aren't safe despite the government's 50 grand guarantee.What are you doing with over 50 grand in savings? to my mind the only people with that sort of spare cash are drug dealers, high class prostitutes and the scum that have been reaping the profits from ripping everyone else off.Maybe

Just a few brief thoughts without having to think too hard on the ongoing Credit crunch / World market failure.One thing that's come out of the recent troubles for me is that I actually watch the news on telly, something I got out of the habit of doing years ago.Not sure why I'm watching it? as it's not as if I've got Millions invested in Icelandic banks or Bradford and Bungley.I suppose I'm just

My son persauded me to try Facebook recently, and have been on Myspace for a couple of years.The first thing that strikes me about Facebook is that I'm probably too old for it, the only attraction I can see is if you've got a ton of School / college friends who all add you on to it to relay info or slag people off en-masse.I'm not that big a fan of MySpace but the fact that you can personalise

Might just be me? but I get very cynical about company announcements.Recent ones have included airlines who despite proof to the contrary have decided to keep their ban on liquids being carried as hand luggage because of terror fears, this ban of course includes all drinks that might be carried on long distance flights forcing passengers to cough up extra for drinks onboard.Various supermarkets

Do you ever find yourself ranting at the telly when watching these shows like "Police, camera action" and similar?Every week you see the Police following stolen cars rampaging through the streets nearly killing people and smashing people's property, and after they catch them you assume they're going away for a few years and at the end of the programme they point out that the guy who's stolen a

Another 45 wasted minutes on the phone and I just end up with the opinion that they are a "shower of shit" (as an old guy I used to know called people who didn't know what they were doing).I managed to get the number to ring the complaints department direct and after 10 minutes of recorded info about the ongoing court case over unfair charges I finally had someone to speak to, several holds later

Sat through an episode of "Golden balls" today for the first time in ages, for anyone not familiar with the programme it is a British game show where lying and cheating could win you money, presented by former comedian Jasper Carrot it basically encourages the worst sides of human nature.What the game comes down to at the end is they win a pot of money and 2 contestants go head to head and have

Oh well the missus finally got out of hospital alive :)She caught the obligatory infection, which happens after every op she's had, despite all their new anti-infection initiatives (Fortunately not the MRSA type infection that they gave to my dad).So the 5 day stay turned into almost a month, and now she has to have a nurse turn up at home every day for the next month to treat the unhealed wound

Just another thing to get the "ripped off" feeling brewing.The wife has spent a lot of time in hospital over the years, so I've spent a lot of time visiting her.The maternity unit at Southend used to be in a different hospital at nearby Rochford, where you could stay most of the day and the parking was free with many available spaces.About ten years back Rochford hospital was closed and the

Well the wife has had her operation and everything went well :-)A total of 4 ovarian cysts were removed, one very large 35cm x 20cm x 20cm (Rugby ball), one about 5cm round (Tennis ball), and 2 smaller ones.Slightly worrying is that some parts had to be left behind, part of the large one was attached to her bladder so the skin of it was left, and although one ovary was removed the other

So the government and it's advisors are telling us we're fat bastards and need to eat the products they suggest to survive.Always took the view that if you worry about something it will probably kill you (An early idea formed after my nan who constantly talked and worried about cancer, became the only person in my very large family to ever have it and die from it?).Virtually everyone I know who

A modern misconception doing the rounds is that wind power is the answer to all our future needs, and that it will save the environment.While it is a possibility that in the future fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) will eventually run out and we'll have to look elsewhere for our energy, the current "build a wind farm in the country" policy that is being touted is flawed in so many ways.Basic facts

So I grew up in a little country village with nice genuine people (and a few nutty farmers), then one by one we all moved away after Thatcher's right to buy on council houses saw nearly everyone sell up and make a quick profit after getting a 50% discount.Snobby townies saw the opportunity and moved in, soon the bus services were removed and the village shops closed down as the newbies all had

I can't help feeling everytime someone shouts "political correctness" it's usually a cover for their own inbred racism, much as the people who come across as Homophobes usually turn out to be gay.My father-in-law although on the outside a pleasant guy, is a racist - when I first met my wife she told him she was going out with a guy called Lee, his reply to her was "he's not black is he" assuming

Ordered my new washing machine this week and today get a phone call from someone saying he was from the company.He thanked me for the order and asked if would be interested in appliance cover?

You have to laugh.It seems most artists haven't received a penny from the estimated $400 million that the RIAA screwed out of early P2P pioneers such as Napster and Kazaa.Virtually none of this fortune has filtered down to the actual artists they were supposed to be defending, and the artists have had enough and are threatening legal action.The rumour is that most of the settlements were used to

Finally (a year after I promised the wife) bought a new washing machine today.Our old one leaks all over the floor and the water running down the inside has corroded the foot so it now stands at an angle which means it rattles all over the place when the spin cycle starts, yesterday it shook a jug of the side and it smashed leading the wife to say "where's my new washing machine" :)It's done

Probably shouldn't comment as any opinion voiced on the subject of race seems to get you labelled as supporting one or other of the extreme ends of the argument, but I'll risk it.There seems to be an agenda at the moment perpetrated by the tory rags (Mail, Express, Sun, Telegraph etc) to bring us a few stories every day of how the Muslims and other immigrants are demanding this and that.This
