@ Jason

Shred 'em, burn 'em, put 'em in the cat's dirt tray.

And purely in the interests of accuracy, should we be referring to Wacqui Jacqui or Wacky Jacky or indeed some other spelling (possibly beginning with f and ending with t)? Just asking.

Hurrah for the ICO

Hurrah for the ICO. Saw this in the Grauniad last week and wept. And worse, Nick Gibson's MP, Emily Thornberry (Lab), seemed to think plod's scheme was a splendid idea because of "anti social behaviour in the area." Surely the answer to anti social behaviour is not to spend billions on ID cards we neither need nor want, useless and intrusive databases and CCTV (and worse again, get private citizens to pay for and install the CCTV for you), but to spend a tiny fraction of the money on putting more plod on the streets so they can give the little scrotes a good clip round the ear and send them home. Worked when I were a lad, but probably not so well today when all the little scrotes seem to be armed and dangerous. I'm not going to pursue this one.

Brits find accommodation a little uncomfortable

Not just the spelling

It isn't just the spelling, it's its and it's. And am I not bored with this, not bored of it?

And for fricking hell's sake, what is "I should of...." supposed to mean?

Quick spellcheck and off to a darkened room with the Daily Telegraph.

Council to crack down on Cracknuts Lane

re Tim

Phew, thought the council had renamed Sluts Hole Lane - glad to her it's still there. Comes from the Dutch, apparently. And don't forget in Norwich, Upper Goat Lane.
