    He’s a grafter – I doubt he needs your tax money.

    Moggy

    “Three weeks ago Romanian migrant Victor Spirescu arrived in the UK with the promise that he wanted to work and then go home.

    But after just one day washing cars with a friend in Biggleswade, he suddenly quit and disappeared.

    Now it seems he has landed a new job earning £60-a-day working on a building site somewhere in east London, and is planning on moving his 19-year-old fiancee Catalina Curcean to the UK as well.

    Spirescu says Catalina is hoping to move from their pig and sheep farm in Transylvania and get a job as a cleaner.

    He says her money will be spent paying for all their bills and food, while his money will be saved to buy a Mercedes when they move back to Romania in a year’s time.”

    Probably to bloody wet and cold to wash cars – maybe you can flog him your motor!

    The truth probably lies, encoded, somewhere between the reports….

    As far as I can recall, TNMOC is a separate from BP – nothing to do with the Trust. You pay a separate fee to visit it.

    Oddly the BBC report seems to have been pulled, so I cannot refer back to it.

    A bit more info on the debacle…

    You do know that if we tell you, we’ll have to kill you afterwards….

    …there is as yet no corroboration of the report anyway.

    Err, how much more corroboration do you want? The CEO, Ian Standen, basically tells the volunteers “thanks for your time, now f88k off”….
    Where would BP be today without it’s volunteers? It would probably have been bulldozed and housing built in its place.

    And I feel for Jack Darrah and his Churchill Collection – there is a lot of stuff there and I suspect at his advanced years it will all be packed into crates and never seen again. He personally welcomed every one who stepped through the doors and gave a brief explanation of the collection…

    Stop adults smoking in cars with children present?
    What next? Stop smoking in your own home if your kids are around?
    Can just see the cops ‘knocking’ on the door now…
    Or would that be yet another job for Social Services?…
    Education is the key – if you can’t persuade the parents/adults not to expose their kids to the perils of passive smoking then I suspect the battle is lost…

    I’m just glad the smoking ban in public places is in place – no more evenings out ruined due to selfish and ignorant smokers at the next table…

    I believe if it is in a skip, it’s the property of the skip company?

    Move to another OS? Ubuntu or something similar?

    Not sure if the muck on the inside of the carriage windows was fag smoke from the passengers or coal smoke from the engines!….

    The law has failed to get a grip on the dangers of using a phone while driving – even with the bigger fines/more points risk, people still do it. Likewise people still chance their luck and drink and drive. I hardly think smoking in a car full of kids will be tackled effectively.

    Most out of date food is perfectly safe to eat – even after a week or more – so rather than lobbing it into a skip, how about giving it to one of the many charities that go out and provide food for those living rough?

    I expect H&S would get involved and say it’s too risky to give shelf-expired food to the homeless in case it makes them ill!!!!!!!……

    I remember this programme on eating ‘out-of-date’ food – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1024879/The-best-challenge—One-man-boldly-goes-use-dates-food.html

    Even if only to remove the spelling mistakes

    Or to remove the oh-so-smart Chinese proverb which actually reads “Crispy Duck with Pancakes”….

    Think today’s race would have been more exciting if they had driven around in Sinclair C5s – new season, new “green’ cars, new tedium….

    Raikkonen – Literally doesn’t give a sh*t… about anything! And doesn’t particularly like anyone nor anything, including himself! But that inadvertently makes him funny!

    You forgot his propensity to wear his baseball caps in the style of a gangsta rapper, and the really stupid shades…

    Taped it this morning – fast forwarded through the race as it was sending me to sleep!

    Hope this new era of F1 bucks up soon otherwise I may switch to watching the “Drying Paint” channel on Sky……
