So the scum have won the league again. The premiership is getting very boring and predictable. Pick one from Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Probably in that order. These clubs will be the top 4 for the next 10 years, unless some billionaire comes in to buy Tottenham, Wigan, Aldershot, Tranmere or Scunthorpe. The money should be spread around on a much more fairer basis. These 4 get stinking rich, and other clubs go to the wall, with huge points deductions. look at poor old Leeds, Bournemouth and Luton.
It might help if the people of Luton went to support their local team, rather than watching Man Utd on the TV.
Lets hope the scum don't have it all their own way - Come on Barca!

Expenses
The Mp's expenses saga rolls on and on. It's a disgrace that they have been paid for things like cleaning the swimming pool, plasma TV's and clearing out their moat(?!). But surely the system is at fault here? If you are allowed to claim for these things, then why not?
Probably the best bet is to scrap the second home allowance, and make them sleep in a broom cupboard in the houses of parliament. Sounds too mean eh? Well, ok, we'll give them one of the crisp/sweet machines that you find in Traveloges, cant have the poor buggers starving can we?

How many Ford mechanics does it take to change a lightbulb?
I have had to change both headlight bulbs on my Ford Focus recently, and it is almost impossible. The nearside has the battery in the way, and you need tiny hands just to be able to reach the light bulb holder. The Fiesta is even worse, you have to remove the radiator grille. I have heard that the KA is worse still. It's not just Fords, it appears that most modern cars have the same problem. It looks like it is done so that you have to pay them to do it for you. This is should be the simplest of tasks that the motorist can do, yet it's another rip off!

New and improved
I have a leaflet from the RAC explaining about their new and improved insurance. I don't want to be pedantic but, if something is new then nothing came before it so it cant be improved. Just thought you should know.

Piggy Flu
DONT PANIC! DONT PANIC! Piggy Flu is coming.
There's nothing better for the news media, than a good old scare story. The government must be loving it, as it diverts attention away from the cock ups that they and the banks have made with our economy. How serious is the risk to us in reality? Probably not much. About 150 deaths in Mexico, but in that time, how many have died prematurely of Cancers, road accidents etc? But I expect holidays to Mexico will be cancelled, and more airlines and holiday companies will go bust. Pork sales will drop. A few cases in Europe, and all recovering well. We have enough medicine for half the population - that's reassuring init?
Remember SARS and bird flu? They came to nothing, and so will this.
A message to the mews media: "Shut up and put things into proportion"
Anyway, I've not been well. "Achoo! Oink Oink"

Budget
The papers are moaning about the 50% tax rate for those earning over £150,000 per year. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with taxing people that can afford it? Surely it's a good idea. (Unless you earn over £150k of course!). These fat cats are so rich anyway, that they can hire expensive accountants to fiddle the system, so they don't have to pay the high rate.
We will all suffer because, what will happen is, for example, expensive footballers will demand a pay rise to compensate for their loss of income, so the clubs will put up the match ticket prices, so the poor man pays more to watch the match. The banks will put up their charges and reduce their interest rates on savings, so this is a tax on the poor anyway! The rich win whatever way you look at it.
I don't want communism, but we do need a fairer system. Higher tax on the rich is fair - so there!

Man Utd to win the cup
Of course Man Utd will win the FA cup after the FA have appointed Mike Riley to referee the semi final against Everton. He is a Man Utd supporter! Check it out here. How many penalties will he give them? Would he like an Everton defender sent off? If Man Utd are a goal down, how much injury time would they like? - You heard it here first!
