Burj Dubai: world's biggest metaphor opens.

Loving the fawning coverage on most channels/ news reports of this new cock  skyscraper that's been built in Dubai. I'm sure most Parish Councils could knock up a similar pile of un-substainable pointless probably empty for years feudal tat if they paid the people who built it £2.84 a day! But as long as western designers swish in for the opening and make sure the cheques don't bounce, I'm sure it's a masterpiece.

Masked Terror Alert

Pandemicamonium: On the bus just now I saw my first person wearing a face mask.
Not sure it's a sign of anything at all she looked like an elderly Japanese lady and wearing masks to stop spreading germs is more prevalent in Japan. So she may have just been doing the normal thing.

But don't just sit their run, run you mad fools, start buying tinned fish and powdered egg, run, you fools......

Having a bad day?

Well, think again.

We love it when our friends are successfull

All shall have Prizes

I’m blessed by having intelligent funny and charming friends and family occasionally this fact is recognised by wider community my friend Emma last year got an award for her NHS journalism, Britain’s leading beer writer had some cream added to already jammy job by wining a beer travel writer award and going on jolly to drink more beer in Czech oh and our S got award for Architecture from Jonathon Ross once oh well, anyway.

The latest in the line is most deserving, a giant in his field Mr Warwick Mansell who has been nominated for a Paul Foot campaigning journalism award in private Eye. Warwick (as only his mum calls him!) Has written a proper book about testing and the sats tests and has been following this story for several years so it’s good that he’s been recognized. He’s genuinely nice bloke too, let’s hope he doesn’t win as he only spend the prize on potatoes and Baaaacccon.

Although I’d pay to hear his acceptance speech!
