Go green

And get this crap. This woman, head of the green party, hadn’t a clue what the costs of her party’s policy on housing entailed.

For once she was asked factual questions and was not let of when she couldn’t answer them.

By all means vote green if you want to be housed. But that means living in an unheated yurt if you do.

The early days

My early eating days. You youngsters have never had food so good.

* Pasta had not been invented.* Curry was an unknown entity.* Olive oil was kept in the medicine cabinet.* Spices came from the Middle East where we believed that they were used for embalming.
* Herbs were used to make rather dodgy medicine.
* A takeaway was a mathematical problem.* A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.* Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time.* The only vegetables known to us were spuds, peas, carrots and cabbage, anything else was regarded as being a bit suspicious.
* All crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not.
* Condiments consisted of salt, pepper, vinegar and brown sauce if we were lucky.* Soft drinks were called lemonade.* Coke was something that we mixed with coal to make it last longer.* Rice was a milk pudding, and never, ever part of our main course at dinner.* A big mac was what we wore when it was raining.
* A microwave was something out of a science fiction movie.* Brown bread was something only poor people ate.* Oil was for lubricating your bike – not for cooking; fat was for cooking.* Bread and jam was a treat
* Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves, not bags.
* The tea cosy was the forerunner of all the energy-saving devices that we hear so much about today.* Tea had only one colour, black. Green tea was not British.* Coffee was only drunk when we had no tea … and then it was Camp, and came in a bottle. (ED: Shudders)* Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.
* Figs and dates appeared every Christmas, but no one ever ate them.* Coconuts only appeared when the fair came to town.* Jellied eels were peculiar to Londoners.* Salad cream was a dressing for salads; mayonnaise did not exist.* Hors d’oeuvre was a spelling mistake.* The starter was our main meal.* Soup was a main meal.* The menu consisted of what we were given, and was set in stone.* Only Heinz made beans: any others were impostors.
* Leftovers went in the dog.
* Special food for dogs and cats was unheard of.* Sauce was either brown or red.* Fish was only eaten on Fridays.* Fish didn’t have fingers in those days.* Eating raw fish was called poverty, not sushi.
* Ready meals only came from the fish-and-chip shop..* For the best taste, fish and chips had to be eaten out of small grease-proof packets wrapped in old newspapers.
* Frozen food was called ice cream.* Nothing ever went off in the fridge because we never had one.* Ice cream only came in one colour and one flavour.
* None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.* Jelly and blancmange were only eaten at parties.
* If we said that we were on a diet, we simply got less food.* Healthy food consisted of anything edible.* Healthy food had to have the ability to stick to your ribs.
* Calories were mentioned but they had nothing at all to do with food.* The only criteria concerning the food that we ate were … did we like it and could we afford it.
* People who didn’t peel potatoes were regarded as lazy so-and-so’s.* Indian restaurants were only found in India.* A seven-course meal had to last a week.
* Brunch was not a meal.* Cheese only came in a hard lump.* If we had eaten bacon lettuce and tomato in the same sandwich we would have been certified.* A bun was a small cake back then.
* Eating outside was called a picnic.
* Cooking outside was called camping.* Seaweed was not a recognised food.* Offal was only eaten when we could afford it.* Eggs only came fried or boiled.* Hot cross buns were only eaten at Easter time.
* Pancakes were only eaten on Pancake Tuesday – in fact in those days it was compulsory.
* “Kebab” was not even a word, never mind a food.* Hot dogs were a type of sausage that only Americans ate* The phrase “boil in the bag” would have been beyond our comprehension.* The idea of “oven chips” would not have made any sense at all to us.
* The world had not yet benefited from weird and wonderful things like Pot Noodles, Instant Mash and Pop Tarts
* We bought milk and cream at the same time in the same bottle* Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold.* Lettuce and tomatoes in winter were just a rumour.* Most soft fruits were seasonal except perhaps at Christmas.
* Prunes were medicinal.* Surprisingly muesli was readily available in those days: it was called cattle feed.
* Turkeys were definitely seasonal.* Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of a real one.* We didn’t eat croissants in those days because we couldn’t pronounce them, we couldn’t spell them and we didn’t know what they were.
* We thought that baguettes were a serious problem the French needed to deal with.* Garlic was used to ward off vampires, but never used to flavour bread.
* Water came out of the tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and charging treble for it they would have become a laughing stock.* Food hygiene was all about washing your hands before meals.* Campylobacter, salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and botulism were all called “food poisoning”.

* The one thing that we never ever had on our table in the fifties … elbows.

We did live in simpler times. But we enjoyed ourselves. Health an safety weren't invented. In fact neither were "Sell by dates".

Islamic logic


There isn't any. I fail to understand how young muslims in the UK can believe what the radical islamic preachers in the mosques are trying to teach them.

I told you so.

Remember this post from a few days ago where I stated the obvious?

Even if readers here are non smokers. Be afraid. They'll be after your guilty little pleasure next. The bansturbators pleasure will be you next.

Like a soft drink occasionally? You sinner, you.

coke

Just ONE can of fizzy drink a day increases heart attack risk by a third - and could lead a STONE of weight gain over a year

  • New campaign challenges 'damage' caused by Coca-Cola and Pepsi
  • Campaigners say consumers are unaware of the risks of these drinks
  • The campaign called GULP – Give Up Loving Pop – has been created by the Health Equalities Group and supported by NHS and local authorities
  • Also highlights links between drinks and tooth decay and type 2 diabetes


They’re coming for you now, you pop fanciers. Soon they’ll be bans on fizzy drinks in pubs. This will be followed by bans in public parks and play areas. Soon to be followed by bans in all public areas. We must think of the “Cheeeeeeeldren”.is the cry. (As a smoker I got used to it).

Of course this is another state funded socket puppet masquerading as a charity.

This article is dedicated to the commenter who posted this under my last article on bans. Here’s his words of wisdom.

I doubt it, probably just ban smoking and that will be it. At worst they will go on to ban other distracting things while driving. But hardly going to be the next USSR. Non smokers can relax I think. Smoking ban never affected them either, only the inconsiderate behind the times smokers.

Do you understand now that the state hates you as well as smokers?

Global cooling anyone?

The video below explains the perception of what "scientists" thought would happen to climate in the future. This dates back to the 1970's.




Of course now we know this is wrong, as we're all sweltering in heat waves every year.

Oh, and think of those cuddly polar bears that are dying out due to this pernicious warming.

I think I might be a "sceptic" of global warming, bearing in mind that global mean temperature has been flatlining for the last 18 years+.

But the gravy train of global warming keeps those poor scientists from starving to death.We must be greatful for that. (NOT)

A picture says a thousand words



If you want cheap energy and wish to save the third world, don't vote for any of these three. Then again if you despise those living in poverty..........................

UKIP and Immigration in book form.

Man walks into a Book Shop in Tower Hamlets and asks if they have a
book on UKIP.


The shopkeeper says,
“Fuck Off,  Get Out and Don’t come back”


The man says,
“Yes, that’s the one"

Here we go again.

Not content with plain packaging and the display ban, the latest illiberal, nanny statist idea, is to ban smoking in cars with children.

Drivers in England will be banned from smoking in their cars if they are carrying children as passengers.The move, which will become law on 1 October, follows a similar ban in Wales and aims to protect young people under 18 from second-hand smoke. Scotland is also considering introducing a ban.Anyone found flouting the law in England could be fined £50.
 Of course this will be unworkable as so many cars these days have tinted rear windows. So the obvious next step will be to ban smoking in ALL cars.

Once they've gained control of how you use this item of private property, they'll continue to the next logical step. Homes.

Firstly they'll prevent those living in council owned housing from smoking indoors. The local authority will come up with the excuse that as owners of the property they have a duty of care to the children in those properties.

Finally there will come the ultimate step of "we can't have two classes of children". Those who are protected and those wicked home owners who are poisoning their cheeeldren. A smoking ban law will be enacted to prevent you smoking in your home that you have bought and paid for.

I suspect that will enable councils to lobby for laws to enable officials to enter your home unannounced to ensure that you are abiding by this unalloyed nonsense.

Even if readers here are non smokers. Be afraid. They'll be after your guilty little pleasure next. The bansturbators pleasure will be you next.

Microsoft. Grhhhhh.

I recently replaced my computer and have spent hours getting rid of crap that came with it.

I can’t get rid of this. It pops up several times when Mrs FE is using Internet Explorer(Spits). The Microsoft help site is quite useless. For a multi billion dollar company that should be a lot better at helping their “CUSTOMERS”, they might as well take the site down.

Any suggestions?

Feckless yoof?

We consider that we have a high crime rate by youngsters in the UK, don’t we?

Have a read below.

Great statistics for Tortola..... ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – “Statistics in the age group ranging from 15-30 years recently revealed that 45% of our young men have been incarcerated, 25% are currently booked for court appearances and the remaining 30% are of good standing and have productively stayed out of trouble,”

Maybe they’ve all ben fighting over my niece, who works out there.

Hi Lisa

Vote for who?

It might be a very good eye if the three major parties took some time out to woo a proportion of the populace that they seem to ignore.

With another General Election looming, it’s the over 50s who have the real voting power. We are the most politically engaged of all age groups and are the majority of voters in elections. We already control 80% of disposable wealth in the UK and will constitute 50% of the population by the year 2020.

It’s time for us to step forward… the 50+ generation, the age group that Government and big business forgot… now is your chance to engage in our Silversurfers General Election 2015 debate!

Below is a screenshot of voting intentions of the over fifties.

If I was the LibLabCon I would be a tad concerned.
