Check-up at the dentist’s yesterday. Suddenly gone all streamlined, non-NHS (not that they paid anyway), and the prices have gone through the roof. New dentist too, and I thought I was doing OK with all his “Occlusion, 4, not to do” stuff to the nurse, but of course he had to find a filling to do. Couldn’t do it there and then either, so another visit and a £55 bill (used to be about £20) to look forward to in a couple of months. 🙁

People who forget that an English sentence ends in a full stop, exclamation mark or question mark.

Unless you’re Ronnie Biggs of course.

kills people by… shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances,

I have to be careful too sometimes.

I think some people romanticise certain criminals because they see them as ordinary people (ie like them) putting one over on the state, Govt, unfairness of society or whatever. And yet these “lovable rogues” seem to think nothing of hurting ordinary people who just happen to be in their way, like Jack Mills the train driver. Ditto the Krays and all that rubbish about them loving the East End and the people there. Funny way of showing it, by demanding dozens of honest business people hand over a percentage of their hard-earned or else have their premises trashed or get beaten up, what their ilk euphemistically called Protection Rackets and what the law more realistically terms Demanding Money With Menaces. I wonder if Barbara Windsor would have been so enamoured if her family had been threatened that way?

Off those classified as PUD (pudding) 40% of those have std`s (spotted dick):diablo:

A chap I worked with many moons ago used to say that during his National Service he’d been awarded the VD & Scar. Incidentally,he also had a claim to being the first British casualty of WWII. When Chamberlain made his famous radio broadcast that Sunday morning his mum was washing him in a tin bath on the table and when she heard those fateful words she had a panic attack and bath, child, et al ended up on the stone kitchen floor.

leave old ronnie alone hes paid his debt to society,

Er, can you run that by me one more time? I was under the impression he was sentenced to 30 years. Let’s not forget that this “lovable rogue” so many people seem to see was in truth a professional criminal (the train robbery was not his first crime) who decided honest work was not for him and he was instead entitled to help himself to other people’s property; an armed robber who stuck two fingers up to the country of his birth until he got sick and needed medical treatment here. Now he’s taking the p1ss all over again and people are falling for it all over again.

What’s the betting he makes a miraculous recovery, and within a couple of months he’s “Dahn the pab” giving interviews to The Sun?

Stanley Matthews’ autobigraphy. Football was so different when he began playing in the Thirties. Many players at any given club were local working class lads who continued to live in the same kind of streets as the fans. The maximum wage was still in force. The England team had no manager, just a panel of selectors and all nearly all travel, both domestic and continental, was done by train. Also interesting to read what he thought about the infamous Nazi salute.
