Nick Hogan Freed by the Blogosphere
Firstly, apologies for the paucity of blogs recently, we have all been unusually busy this week, and not a hope of reading blogs, let alone writing.
In catch-up mode, came across this excellent news on Guido’s blog. Nick Hogan, the “controller of a space” where smoking took place has been released from a term of 6 [...]

Greater Manchester Police record snowball fights as ’serious violent crime’
Gratefully received from a friend of mine, this week’s first dose of insanity involves the Greater Manchester Police recording snowball fights as serious violent crime. As the article makes clear, ’serious violent crime’ is supposed to be incidents such as murder, rape and inflicting injury with a weapon. Clearly it would have to [...]

Government to ban all glasses in all pubs!
Some days, things come across my desk that just make my blood boil. This is one of them…
I recently popped into one of our local hostelries with Mrs. Scrubber only to discover that it had replaced all its glasses with awful plastic ones. I can confirm that however good the red wine, it tastes like [...]

Driver fined for blowing his nose
Apologies for the lateness of this one; it’s several days old, but I received an email from a reader in Australia pointing out this article, which although slightly factually incorrect, led me to find several reports on the net, the best of which was here, in the Daily Mail.
This must surely be a candidate for [...]

Bah Humbug! The new Highways Agency motto
Thanks to the Telegraph for this one…
It appears that elf’n’saftee has gone mad down in Cornwall, and worse, the Christmas Spirit is dead and buried. Local residents got together and put a small (the DT calls it “large” but it doesn’t look very large in the photo), decorated tree in the middle of an otherwise [...]
Bob Ainsworth and the kidnapped yachtsmen; I smell a rat here…
Today both the Daily Mail and the Telegraph are running a similar story about our Secretary of State for Defence, the illustrious Bob Ainsworth, with the latter paper drawing on the story in the Mail.
I’ve read both, and they’re so similar it’s sensible, for the purposes of this blog, to treat them as one. I’ve [...]
Health and Safety games cost us £250,000
Elf-n-safety must be looking to release a bloopers DVD in time for the
Christmas rush, as the ‘own goals’ from this department keep on rolling in.
In another installment of madness it has been reported that it has taken the jobsworths two years and £250,000 of tax payers money to compile a report that ten-pin bowling [...]
Balloons outside shop are health and safety risk!
Today’s contribution from the elf-n-safety pool of madness has popped up in the Solihull News.
A couple with a shop in Solihull, West Midlands has been told by Solihull Council that the balloons they put outside their shop constitute a health and safety risk and must be removed.
When confronted with the obvious stupidity of this position, [...]
