Oooooh, just **** OFF you little ****!

Sorry for the outburst, but Bush is opening his stupid ******* mouth again and once more has raised my ire. Some brief bits from his statement mentioned in a BBC News article include statements on Darfur and on the Olympics.

Not entering Darfur "partly not to send troops into another Muslim country", my arse. It’s because there’s no ******* oil there so he’s not bothered about it. If he’s not interested in invading another Muslim country when why is there such tension surrounding the possibility of them storming into Iran? Lying bastard.

As to him telling the Chinese Prime Minister that China could be doing more to help the problems in Darfur… People in glass houses, George – you dozy ****.

******* hurry up January when they get rid of this pathetic puppet.

Protest for the tuk-tuk!

I just sent a mail to Brighton council regarding their insane decision to take Britain’s unique fleet of tuk-tuks off the road. I rode in these vehicles in several countries and the thought of being able to jump back into one makes me genuinely want to go to Brighton. No mean feat, given there’s **** all else there worth bothering with unless you’re retiring.

However, our government and their council are full of pencil-pushing fuckwits who value paperwork and red tape over common ******* sense. By all means, drop them a message. I have:

Hi,

I’m writing regarding recent reports in the press regarding the fate of the “tuk tuk” service being run by an independent contractor.

Firstly, I’ll be honest and say that I have never visited Brighton. However, something that has appealed for a while is the unique fleet of tuk-tuks (or “tuc-tuc”s as the emblem on the front of these vehicles proclaim). I’ve been to many countries which run the vehicles commonly (Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, India and so on) and they’re a great idea.

However, I simply can’t believe that a council can be so narrow-minded as to permit these vehicles to run legally… and then effectively withdraw their license by making it economically infeasible for them to run due to a matter of pathetic red tape – something for which the UK has become justly derided in recent years.

No, wait. I *can* believe it, given the state that my home nation is now in. For crying out loud, open your eyes and realise there’s a lot more out there than stupid safety regulations, bureaucrats, MPs and muppets with nothing better to do with their time than shout down anything that’s remotely “different”.

Give a guy with a new business idea a chance, and let people enjoy their lives without jumping on them like a bunch of politicians with nothing better to do with their lives than spoil everyone else’s.

Yes, I’m annoyed. My whole country is going to the dogs because of pathetic pencil-pushers and lawyers after a fast buck, running after the American example.

Get these vehicles properly licensed and back on the streets before you lose one of the few things that makes Brighton appealing to anyone other than drug-pushers and pensioners.

Yours in disgust at the state of his own country,

Mosh

I so await their reply. If you want to tell them what a bunch of boring, dull, rule-following, red-tape-loving, insensitive, mono-cultural, tax-greedy ***** they are then you can contact them via their contact page (here) or email them direct here.

Thanks.

Al Qaeda make sense shock horror

I’m going to get banned from the US forever for this, but I can’t be arsed with their immigration anyway, so here goes… Al Queda want the Middle East to greet Bush with bombs when he arrives next week. Great idea. If as little ******* late.

Will someone explain how this little fuckwad has been in charge of the US for almost 8 years and nobody’s actually tried to shoot him yet? Given that less dangerous/damaging presidents have been shot in the past, how come he’s got away with it?

There is no justice.

If I disappear, please address future mails to Guantanamo. I think I’d look pretty cool in an orange jumpsuit.

Visiting the Houses of Parliament

All in all, it’s a bit of a ballache. In Australia, you just arrive sometime before 4pm and you get a nice, free guided tour for about 45 minutes. In the UK, there are different rules depending on where you come from, when you visit, what you want to see and whether you’re buddies with a Lord or not.

Non-UK citizens can only visit (for a fee) during the summer period. UK people, however, can visit all year round at no cost… but have to have their visit arranged by their MP or a Lord. Because we all know the local Lord, don’t we? And our MPs really do have nothing better to do than sort out day trips. No, really. They don’t.

My problem is that I want to go in about a week and a half, which could be short notice. Also, I want to go with a foreigner. So can they get in now it’s not summer even though I’m accompanying them? And do they have to pay if they can? And who is my MP seeing as I don’t have a residential address in the UK?

Flip… flop

Easy come, easy go. I can’t remember which party it was that took the piss out of the other for their “flip flip” (constantly changing back and forth) policies an election or two ago. This is mainly due to the fact that both major parties in the UK are exactly the ******* same. Two big bunches of kids who just want to shout at each other and do the exact opposite.

To prove a point, along comes out new PM who’s barely had a chance to shape the seat in Number 10 to the curves of his huge, sweaty arse and already he’s announcing that he might reverse the 24-hour drinking laws that England were finally granted only a few months ago. By the same government he is a part of.

You’d not believe the number of people I’ve met who are astounded at how early our bars and clubs used to close. The Germans, Belgians, French, Israelis, Aussies… any who’ve visited the UK or been told are simply unbelieving that less than a year ago we had to drink up at 11pm.

Gordon, stop making threats about binge drinking causing problems. Kids are kids. If they binge drink and die, then that’s their own fault. Early closing promoted binge drinking by forcing people to cram alcohol down their throats by an hourly deadline you fat Scottish ******. Just because you know you can piss off back to your home constituency and neck a few whiskies till 4am doesn’t mean that the rest of us wouldn’t like that privilege as well. Or are you planning on making it Britain-wide? No, of course not.
