In an operation lasting 24hrs and taking a team of 30 medical staff, a Spanish man has been given a new face in a Barcelona hospital. Having lost his original features in an accident, he has now been given a complete new face including teeth, nose, cheekbones and skin. I refrain from imagining what will […]

Labour’s ‘Woman Of Substance’
Well, I have finally discovered who is standing for Labour as their chosen candidate to replace Derek Wyatt at the polls on May 6th. The above info was lying on my doormat yesterday evening. Apparently, Angela Harrison is a ‘Woman of real Substance, real Achievement and NO SPIN’ That seems to be a bit of […]
Should John Terry Remain England Captain? – Hell No!
Predictably, the papers are full of the alleged marital indiscretion of England and Chelsea captain John Terry and questioning whether he should be allowed to continue as captain of the England squad at this year’s World Cup Finals. For me, the answer is very simple…No! I say this not because of what he has done […]
Unemployment – What Hope For Our Young?
The Office of National Statistics has announced today that the number of people unemployed in the UK has risen by its smallest amount since May 2008. Before we pop the champagne corks and explode the party poppers, we should remember that the rise was still 30,000 bringing the total number of those out of work […]
Support World Mental Health Day – You Would Be Mad Not To!
Today, is World Mental Health Day. It has been organised to try to stimulate discussion on what seems to be one of the most stigmatised areas of modern medicine: mental illness. Most people would rather own up to having a serious sexual disease than admit they suffer from the most common form of mental disorder […]
Red Arrows – Simply The Best!
An article in today’s Independent is praising the RAF’s Red Arrows display team and it is right to do so. Although they are officially part of the UK’s military forces they represent far more than just military might. They display the very best of training, discipline, bravery, skill, spectacle and engineering. Wherever they appear – […]
Falling In Love – With A Perfect Beauty!
Last Thursday, I fell in love. It was not with an attractive female and certainly not with a man – although I am not saying there is anything wrong with that (tokenistic PC gesture over!) It was not even with a racy looking car or any of the thousand things I constantly desire from the […]
What A Clever Advert – A message For All
I thought I would give us all a day off and share what I think is the very best of clever advertising. How could anyone fail to fall in love with Evian after this?
Doctor Drills Into Boy’s Brain Using A DeWalt!
It would be very easy to bore the bum off you with another story of greed and deception in Parliament, but to be honest there are only so many expletives one can use to describe those greedy, arrogant shits. Tonight then I am going to give you the night off and focus on someone who […]
Twitter – Long May It Last!
No-one can doubt that Twitter has been an unqualified success story. It came from no-where to being one of the most mentioned – and used – websites on the internet. Celebrities are not considered A-Listers unless they are known to be posting their (often vacant) thoughts, using less than 140 characters. Their popularity is judged […]
