Brown would lose to Cameron

That ever observant and perceptive twat Tony Blair has been put on record as saying that Brown will lose to Cameron in a general election. Gosh, really, surely not? Brown would lose if his main opponent was Mickey Mouse, because he is an even bigger twat than Blair.

The trouble is that Cameron is not really a suitable guy to get the country out of the huge mess the last 10 years of Labour Government have put it in. All he could honestly say, given the policies and initiatives he has proposed so far, is "Under the Conservatives, life will be slightly less awful for normal, hard-working folks and slightly less cushy for work-shy benefit scroungers".

That is not good enough in my book, but you never know, he may see the light if he gets into No. 10. We can but hope!

Please, MyTelegraph

I have another blog on MyTelegraph that I use more or less exclusively for ranting about the auto-eroticists who would rule us. At the moment, it is a total disaster. It keeps going down, losing posts and comments, swapping IDs and goodness knows what else.

The techies keep saying they are working with Microsoft to get it working properly. I say to them, "Please, pretty, pretty, please, forget Microsoft, take the whole site down for a couple of days, and install a LAMP system. (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

Take the hint, Gordy

Bertie Ahern has resigned to avoid investigations into corruption in Ireland. One down, lets us hope one to go!

Mikey's got a brand new toy

Managed to get an Asus eee PC 4G over the weekend. It is a very nice little bit of kit, allowing you to surf and work anywhere. Will not be blogging much for a while thanks to this little toy.

There is hope for England Rugby

While most of the present England XV seem well past their sell-by date, the U20 team has just won the U20 Grand Slam by beating the very good Irish U20 team handsomely. The players all seem very skilled and very keen, as do the coaching staff. Cannot wait until they all get their chance in the senior side.

Update
So England were not so bad as feared and managed a reasonable win against an Irish side not really firing on all cylinders. All the best players were the younger ones!

USELESS BLOODY ENGLAND

Scotland 15 England 9 Calcutta Cup

What excuse do England have this time? What does Ashton say to inspire them? You might as well play an amateur 2nd XV. At least they might play as a team!

Scotland were pretty bad, but they did not need to be good, because England were complete and total CRAP!

Time for a lot of bloodletting at team selection, from the coach downwards. I would rather see players who are maybe not quite so individually talented, but are prepared to play as a team!

Also, it is about time to start fining players who give away needless penalties, or keep kicking possession away to no purpose, their match fee!

Why, oh why?

Why didn't England play against Wales as they played against France? If they had done, they would have beaten them easily, and would be leading the 6 Nations table. Still, I think Wales might get their comeuppance against Ireland and France. I do hope so, because I am old enough to remember their arrogance during the 70's!

Will no-one rid us of this turbulent priest?

"Will no-one rid us of this turbulent priest?" to mis-quote King Henry, talking about the Archbishop of Canterbury. Someone needs to do it, though it is probably best not to use the same method as was used to remove Thomas a'Beckett from office.

If it looks like a superannuated hippie, walks like a superannuated hippie and talks like a superannuated hippie, then it is a superannuated hippie.

As this man's one aim in life seems to be to lay back and let the world sweep over him and be at peace, man, he is not suitable to be head of the CofE. I am NOT in any way religious but I do recognise that the Christian way of life is a sensible way to go and sharia law is NOT!

It is not just his pronouncement on sharia law that is so ridiculous, but almost everything he says. He has to go!

Here we go again!!!

Once again, the England Rugby XV have managed to give away another game. Leading 19-3 at half time (it should have been 26-3 but for a dodgy video ref decision) they gave Wales every chance by giving away lots of stupid penalties and allowing them to score soft tries. I think the players should be paid by results, i.e. not paid when they give in so shamefully.

There must be something wrong at the RFU, when they cannot work out a way to let the best coach in the country, i.e. Shaun Edwards, coach part-time. Wales seemed to have managed it.

Furthermore, they will not let us sing a National Anthem, so we have to sing the dirge of the UK one instead. Get it together you guys, or give way for people who care!

Merchant Banker

So, Tony Bliar has been given a part time job with an American bank. Well, he always was a merchant banker. For those who do not understand, I can only say one thing. "Apples and pears!"
