Burn Baby Burn
Looks like someone took offence at my reference to firework abuse in the Liverpool area yesterday. From what I can gather, whoever it was doesn't like my reference to "scouse scallies" - not that I can see any reference to "scouse scallies" myself. What I did refer to was "a shaven-headed scrote and his mates squandering their hard-robbed drug money". Now let me be unequivocal about this:- shaven headed scrotes exist everywhere. I wasn't having a go at Liverpool alone - it's just that that's what was reported on the radio. The same thing probably happens in the Manchester area and elsewhere, it simply hasn't been brought to my notice....yet. Anyway, given the fact that Merseyside's Chief Constable felt the need to present the home secretary with a dossier detailing the fearsome rise in firework abuse, perhaps they'd care to examine the reality rather than automatically jump to the conclusion that I was having a go at "scouse scallies".Try growing a thicker skin and, while you're at it, you may care to peruse the following:-

Right that's got that out of my system. Sorry for the rant but "My
Many years ago when it was Dearest's Birthday, I had the bright idea of making a compilation tape of all tunes she had enthused about that were lurking among my CDs, albums and cassettes. She'd often complained that she never knew where to find the particular ditties she wanted to hear and "couldn't be arsed" trawling through a sizable collection of the things just to find the few she wanted to listen to.
A few weeks of surreptitious investigation later, I had established just what was required and had the finished article all done and dusted. Wittily titled "Elaine's Birthday Tape" it had a "designed-and-printed-on-the-computer* sleeve listing the tracks and artists. It was - as it proclaimed - a "TLC Production".
That was in 1993. Over ten years later and I'm still at it, although the *tape* has evolved into the *CD* now. Trouble is it gets harder to find anything new to put on it that Dearest will adore. This year's is becoming particularly difficult to nail. I've got about three weeks left. God bless Kazaa.
Next year she wants a "50th Birthday" Box Set !!!
Well Arsenal left it late tonight to keep their Champion's League hopes alive. Why can't Ashley Cole score in the league ? He's on my Fantasy Footie team and always seems to cost me points at the end of the day. It's either letting goals in, getting booked or not starting the game. End result ? Minus points ! Trouble is I can't afford anyone decent to replace him.
I've added a link to a blog by a funeral director from the north of England. Really very good considering he's a Blackburn Rovers supporter.
