I think I think, therefore, I think I think I am, I think.
A comment on the BBC website from someone who needs looking after:Why shouldn’t Iran have nuclear capability? Israel, India, and many other countries which are no more stable than Iran have the capability. Another case of the USA trying to impose it’s homophobic prejudices on the rest of the world and, to my shame, with this country’s backing!Um... Right.
Automatically milks cows and mucks out after them.Today, they manage their operation using both a traditional 40-unit rotary dairy, which is milking 239 cows twice a day on their home farm, while 171 cows are milked through their robotic dairy on the recently-purchased country.
A traditional rotary dairy? I'll have you know that back in 1939 the rotary dairy was known as the Rotolactor; and as for traditional, it was the centrepiece for Borden's Dairy World of Tomorrow at the New York World's Fair.Labels: Britain, Future Past, robot
Strangely, I didn't notice the irony until I'd read it through four times. Too many years with the blue pencil. Too many years.Labels: Humour

We are deep into Human Shield territory here. Do you know why the "anti-war" movement never went anywhere? What it really lacked to put it over the top? What could bring our boys home and spark a global Kumbaya moment? A blimp!Imagine...a "Peace Blimp" (let's not, please.)- defiantly displaying a message of peace across the skies of the nation, unable to be dismissed, ignored or brushed aside (Unless people do). Rallies for peace greet the blimp in every city it visits (Or police and aviation officials wanting to see your permits). Politicians, celebrities, movie stars, athletes, war veterans and peace activists make the call to bring our troops home by boarding the blimp for a ride (Or realise that they have better things to do with their time). Crowds flock to the events (Or not) and are educated about the war (Harangued, is the word you're looking for). With each stop along the tour the momentum for peace grows from a dull roar into an undeniable fervor (Or lapses into the chirping of crickets) until the seemingly endless wars (Which wars? Where?) come to an end (Of course wars can end in defeat, but let's not dwell on that).Good grief, I know it's fun, but please stop inhaling the helium in the party balloons.

They're coming so fast you can hardly keep up with them. Climategate, then Glaciergate, and even before I had a chance to comment on Africagate we have Pensiongate.Labels: Africa, BBC, Britain, Environmentalism
It's an historic moment as the go-ahead Church of England bellows "screw Christian doctrine!" and thunders off into irrelevancy.Labels: Britain, Church of England, Insanity

I once ate camel at a wedding out East and it wasn't bad. Of course, that particular dish required stuffing the camel with two sheep that were, in turn, stuffed with saffron rice and the whole thing placed in a charcoal pit to roast for two days, so the burger option might be more practical at a busy lunch time.

To say that the BBC has a left-wing bias is like saying that killer whales are a very unfortunate thing to find in one's bath tub. Whether it's radio or television or the Web, if you tune into a BBC programme, you can be fairly sure that it will cover all sides of the issue: Left of centre, left, and far left with anything to the right of Clare Short reserved for the more exotic anthropology documentaries.Labels: Britain, Environmentalism, MSM

The Prince of Wales is having the pistons from his Aston Martin DB6 Volante made into cuff links to raise money for charity, though what the attraction is in having a couple of dirty great pistons dangling off one's sleeves continues to elude me.Labels: Britain, Motor Car, Royal Family
