No Balls Are Snowballs

I thought I had heard it all .... But the existence of the Icelandic cricket board takes some beating. They call themselves 'Krikketsamband Islands (Icelandic Cricket Board)'.

Icelandic Cricket Faces Tough Conditions
 ... But They Are Vikings.

I had been under the impression that despite their thrashing of the England football team in the last European Championships in 2016, they only had two level playing areas for football.

Fat Bottomed Ladies

In older times when your girlfriend asked you "does my bum look big in this?" The wrong answer was 'yes, big'.

Does My Bum Look Big In This?

However, from memory even giving the answer, 'no it looks fine', wasn't always the correct answer ....

Railway To Hell

Our whole rail system sucks ....privatisation simply doesn't deliver the efficiency and modern work practices that privatisation delivered for the Gas and Electric systems.

The Passenger Rail Charter (If They Were Being Honest)

I for example have been enduring months of bus replacements, lies and yet more ambiguations from both Network Rail and Northern (Arriva) Rail.

Aiding Corruption

While we continue to give millions of pounds to countries like India (£150m to a space faring, nuclear power), and a larger amount to Pakistan (which spends £2bn pa on its nuclear forces), to prop up its schools, health and social programs. We top this with billions more for incredibly dubious schemes in other third world nations, in Foreign Aid. While our own country is in serious need of some TLC.

Not 50 Paces From My Front Gate .....Potholes.

But we are effectively broke, with spending restrictions on domestic expenditure such as health and transport. But foreign aid spending just rises relentlessly and currently stands at £12bn pa.

Cher Ate My Nutz

I really should have entitled this post "Chair Caught My Nuts" .....

I Meant Chair Not 'Cher'

.... but I thought this was funnier, and would draw you in ....
