Bank Holiday Deja Vue

We had the Easter Monday Holiday, then Mayday, and on May 29th there is another. I always get a sense of deja vue at this time of year. University exams finish in late May and I always wake up that Monday 29th Holiday staring at empty bottles and the smell of alcohol all around.

Its So Unfair!

I bought my house 12 years ago and by the time of pay off the mortgage it will be worth a million pounds. Since I bought it I have seen my mortgage go down from £850 a month to £650 a month.
Anyone renting has seen their rent go up regularly. I have a friend renting a horrible little flat – not a house – for £1300 a month, and he tells me that if he moves out his landlord will seize the opportunity to put the rent up. Flat
I earn more from the annual increase in the price of my house than I earn tutoring. God only knows house anybody renting must feel, unlikely ever to be able to afford to buy a house in London, when I had thegood luck to buy my house at the start of a long period of ultra low interest rates.

The Madness of Power

During the Vietnam War, one American general was recorded as saying We had to destroy the village in order to save it. Well, it made sense at the time. Sooner or later, anyone with any sort of, or aspiration to power does or says something so stupid it makes the rest of us wonder how they could ever think they could leave themselves open to ridicule.
A UKIP parliamentary candidate has said that girls at risk of fgm should have annual medical exams to ensure that have not been ‘fgmed’.
Even before the laughter died down, I started thinking about the alternatives.
Ever girl should have to send a video every year to the Ministry of Funny Walks.
There should be a design competition to design an fgm prevention pantylock, which explodes it tampered with.
Crazy suggestions invited. They have to make any sort of insane sense for at least a fraction of a second.until you
