Pommy Speaker Crook

0_0

Speaker John Bercow's official residence refurbished for £45,000 was the headline on the UK telegraph today and I'll say 1 thing: WHY DID HE DO THAT now you may not realise why I said this but read on...

Mr Bercow ordered the makeover, covering work from child-friendly redecorating to new televisions and furniture, within weeks of his election as Speaker in
June. His wife, Sally, oversaw most of the work and the couple pushed ahead
with the overhaul despite being warned by Parliamentary officials that the costs
may be seen as excessive.

Get it yet?

Emails reveal that Mrs Bercow compiled a lengthy “shopping list” of items that
she wished to have changed in the Speaker’s historic official residence within
days of her husband’s election.
The new documents, released under Freedom of
Information laws, also disclose that Mr Bercow has spent almost £13,000 on
entertaining and hospitality - including a three-night trip to Rome costing
almost £4,000 - in just three months.

So basically this guy for all you people in the UK is ripping you off because he is using taxpayers money. Also this means he is kinda corrupt because of using the taxpayers money for personal gain so he is a crook! Throw him jail I say after all Rome is a nice HOLIDAY.

P.S Please nominate Bobbiot Records by commenting I have 2 records already I need more!

Cricket's Signal Silence

We win and also don't worry UK readers and USA readers I will be doing articles from your countries In the next 2 days first UK then USA but first here is this.

RICKY Ponting challenged his no-frills team to "be brave'' and stare down
Sachin Tendulkar and the might of India in one of Australian cricket's greatest
victories at Hyderabad yesterday.

Haha fooled you with the name. Anyway our side was devestated with injury example...

Australia have lost pacemen Brett Lee and Peter Siddle and all-rounders James
Hopes, Moises Henriques and keeper Tim Paine to injury here, while spearhead
Mitchell Johnson was rested from the match. Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken,
Callum Ferguson and Brad Haddin never even made it to India.

So my point is with this it may not be well written this post but remember even if you are not first choice in anything you can still do anything the first choice can do... and if you got what I just said leave a comment I'll congratulate you in next post. Also 1 more thing, I hereby award that side of Shane Watson, Sean Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Cameron White, Micheal Hussey, Ben Hilfenhaus, Dirk Bollinger, Clint Mackay, Nathan Hauritz, Graham Manou, Adam Voges and the 2 other players I couldn't find, The Bobbiot Award for the best performance for a Underdog side in cricket (International).

What The Tennis

Roger will be facing his old 'school friend' with a 18 match winning streak on the line. Now if Roger remembers they are friends maybe they can make up? But I really doubt he is going to bother going easy on Marco Chiudinelli in the semi-finals of the Swiss Indoors tournament. The semi-finals now all we need is Marco to get tips of Nedal and... Oh no I've forgotten his name so I'll just say the Serbian and then maybe, just maybe he can win... His right to be known as a good tennis player not a friend of old Roger.

EDIT: I remembered his name Novak Djokovic. He won the Aus Open by beating ol' Roger.

Here to announce...I'm Back

Ignore what I said before because I also have a new blog but you have to see my profile for it :) anyway hi and welcome to be back.

Universities 'should stop awarding firsts' - 9 June 2000

UNIVERSITIES should stop awarding firsts and "Desmonds" (two-twos), the
Government-backed Quality Assurance Agency said yesterday.
Instead of classifying degrees, they should issue graduates with "records of achievement", said John Randall, chief executive. Degree classes had been inflated, he added. Thirty years ago, average performance was rewarded with a lower
second.

All I am are going to say iswhat difference will it make?

Cat killer 'should be jailed' - 9 June 2000

CAT owners and an RSPCA inspector expressed dismay yesterday after a man who is believed to have poisoned 70 cats in the village where he lived was not sent
to jail.Magistrates were told at an earlier hearing that a hatred of cats
led Nigel Hibbs, 42, to place cyanide-laced sardines and kippers in his garden.
Police found enough poison under his bed to kill 1,500 cats.

I know some people hate cat's but is this really necessary? Cyanide laced kippers sound like something someone would do to kill a person not cat's!

Hibbs was sentenced to 150 hours community service after admitting
possessing cyanide with intent to endanger property and two charges of intending
to injure a cat. He denied being a serial cat killer. He said: "I know a lot of
cats have gone missing but I am not responsible for all of those. I could not
possibly be as cruel as that."

You're right you we're going to use the rest to kill the dog's...

But villagers remain convinced that he was responsible for many more pets
dying in Newbold Verdon, Leics, before he was forced to move. Dianne Finney, who has nine cats, said she was appalled by the sentence. She said: "He should have gone down for this."

Down where? A well?

Nick Speight, the RSPCA inspector involved in the case, said after the
verdict at Hinkley magistrates court: "What he did was absolutely despicable. A
short custodial sentence would have sent out a stronger message."

Yes you're right a message of kippers are bad don't let them control you!

Middle England Needs Madonna? - 9 June 2000

THE puppyish excitement of newspapers towards Madonna can be attributed to
her mere in-the-flesh presence among us. At the premiere of her new movie, The
Next Best Thing, at Leicester Square, she demonstrated her familiarity by saying
in an English accent: "I love the countryside, a nice glass of stout and I love
my boyfriend."

And I want to puke no wonder they made a parody of this, in The Simpsons to get off jail in England for Homer, they have to take Madonna in a dog cage to America.

What an understanding! Even an entirely metropolitan creation such as
Madonna knows to defer to the countryside. A taste for stout is an affectation,
but she regains her grip with a novel display of monogamous affection. Then
comes a remark of genius. "House prices are too expensive here, I'm not going to
buy yet. I'm waiting for a slump. It's disgusting."

Sounds like Madonna's got a secret admirer ;). Don't worry you're secret is safe with me.

Goat To The Butcher

There is this goat you see painted orange and purple and I thought it my duty to respond.

WINONA, Minn. — A woman on her way to St. Paul really got
the goat of auto repairman James Prusci.

She went to Tires Plus in Winona Friday, wanting a belt replaced on her
Chevy Malibu. While he was doing paperwork, she said she had a goat in her
trunk.

"A what?" he asked. She told him she planned to butcher it.It was painted Minnesota Viking colors — purple and gold — with Brett Favre's No. 4 shaved on its side.

Favre made his Vikings debut Friday in a preseason
game. Prusci called animal control, which took the goat to a local vet. He
was renamed Brett and placed in foster care.

Animal control officer Wendy Peterson said Monday the city attorney is
reviewing the case for possible citations.

Owned lol.

Hayne In Pain?

College Professor Claims She Was Fired for Failing Students

A former Pennsylvania State University professor claims she was fired for
failing students in her nursing class, a civil lawsuit claims.Elizabeth Barry, a
former nursing instructor at Penn State's Fayette campus, did not have her
contract renewed at the end of the spring 2008 semester, according to court
documents filed on Aug. 17 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania. Barry claims the non-renewal is because 19 of the 52 students in
her psychiatric nursing class failed their final exam.Named in the lawsuit were
Nursing School Dean Paula Milone-Nuzzo, Assistant Dean Raymonde Brown and Penn State Fayette Chancellor Emmanuel Osagie, court documents show.Barry claims
Milone-Nuzzo and Brown threatened her contract renewal after she refused to
change her grading policies. Nine of the 19 students who failed had their grade
changed, the complaint alleges.

Who would do this I mean why? Who would fire them for grading because working on this theory a teacher or professer or doctor cannot fail students or...You're gone.

Beggin' the new best job?

THE hours are long and the work monotonous, but begging pays well for at
least one of Sydney's homeless men who earns up to $50,000 a year from good
samaritans. Ken Johnson, 52, makes his living at George and Market St,
outside the Myer store in Sydney's CBD, where he sits for up to 16 hours daily,
seven days a week.On a good day, he said, he takes in $400 from generous
passers-by.On slower days, he still picks up amounts between $75 and
$150."I'd be really disappointed if I did a long Friday and I only had
$250,'' said Mr Johnson, who has been living on the streets ``since the late
'90s''."I knock off when I feel like it, or if I've done brilliantly. But on
those good days, you might be on such a high that you go for a few more hours
and get a bit more money.''Mr Johnson wouldn't say how much he earned last year. But he did reveal that donated coins and notes are stashed in a safe place, before being taken to a bank branch and deposited in his account several times a week. Some of the money is given to a friend.

I fell sorry for the guy if anyone see's him donate because everybody should be able to have a nice happy life not homeless and desperate.

I Told YOU Bad Grades Would Come...

Official data, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, shows
that a total of 470 secondary schools, many located in middle-class suburbs and
shire counties, are "resting on their laurels" instead of pushing pupils to get
the best grades.

They have been designated as "coasting" by the Department for Children,
Schools and Families under new criteria introduced last year.

The figure represents 15 per cent of secondaries in
England and is far higher than initial estimates.
With an average of 975 pupils per secondary school, it suggests that 458,000 children are affected.

Ummm did anyone remember when I posted A's For Everyone? I said that it would be bad and that they would go down well....look at this, this is one of the things I was talking about.

Sporty children's deadly cocktail - painkillers and energy drinks

CHILDREN as young as 10 are taking a potentially deadly cocktail of drugs
and high-caffeine drinks before sports matches in a dangerous bid to boost their
performance. A leading poisons doctor has warned of the alarming trend of
budding sports stars washing down cold treatment medicine Sudafed or the pain
killer Nurofen with three cans of high caffeine drinks Red Bull, V, or
Mother.They are doing so in the misguided belief it would stimulate them or
prevent pain from a knock during matches.Deputy medical director of the NSW
Poisons Centre at Westmead Children's Hospital Dr Naren Gunja said the problem
was especially rife in private schools."In sporting private schools where winning is important people are using and abusing various over the counter drugs," Dr Gunja said."Drug abuse happens in teenagers, they are taking things for performance enhancement."I don't know exactly what regime people are on but certainly a couple of Sudafed and wash it down with a bit of Red Bull, have some more Red Bull at half time, that is about it."Dr Gunja said the combination of Red Bull and Nurofen and prolonged inappropriate use in sports such as rugby, soccer and swimming, could cause stomach ulcers and heartburn.The most powerful Nurofen product contains codeine, which Dr Gunja said was an opiate similar to the stronger morphine. Abuse of Nurofen could also cause kidney disease.He said children were opting for Sudafed because it contained an amphetamine and might make them more alert. An overdose could cause seizures and raise a child's body temperature.Medics Australia paramedics and first aid officers provide medical help to thousands of children each weekend andtheir staff are also alarmed by a recent surge in medication abuse."We are
becoming increasingly concerned by the incidence of children attending their
weekend sports matches with caffeine-based drinks," a spokesman said
yesterday."I would add I am becoming increasingly concerned and equally
concerned about the use of proprietary pain relief such as Nurofen."Rugby league
coach Matt Cogger and Mark Lindbeck from the Regents Park Pumas said he was
fighting a battle against energy drinks and steered his players away from
them."It is a tragedy waiting to happen," Mark said.

Not really much else I can say, except this is craziness kids are getting more chance of heart attack's and Caffeine addiction the biggest addiction in Australia all I can say is go to Rehab, REHAB.

Teenager First To Go To Computer Addiction Retreat

The 19-year-old man will undergo a 12-step treatment at the reStart Internet
Addiction Recovery Programme in Washington state, which has opened for business
to cater for the growing number of "cyber junkies".A typical 45-day residential
stay, which will include camping and wilderness adventures, will cost patients
$14,500 (£8,800), but the retreat is also open to outpatients seeking respite
from an overreliance on joysticks, internet pornography and spending days on end
staring at a computer screen.The business has said it expects most clients to be
men aged between 18 and 28."We are a cold turkey place - no technology,"
said Hilarie Cash, a psychotherapist at reStart."A gamer is not going to be
allowed to game any time they are here because it is the gaming that is their
drug of choice."We are not anti-technology. It is about helping people addicted
to technology get through the withdrawal and help their brains get wired back to
normal and connected to the world in a positive way."

I've heard about this before being made but now it's here, it's great because they can relax and chill in the great outdoors away from Runescape, Ninja Manager and World Of Warcraft to name 3. All I can say is good luck and enjoy outside.

A's For Everyone!

Some 26.7 per cent of papers was awarded the top mark - an increase of 0.8
percentage points compared with 2008. It represented the 12th straight rise in A grades. Figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications also showed the overall pass rate soared to 97.5 per cent – the 27th year-on-year increase – triggering claims the A-level was now almost “impossible to fail”.
For the first time, more than three-quarters of all A-levels were graded at
least a C, results showed. Girls continued to outperform boys but the gap in the
number of A grades narrowed to its lowest since 2003. Results for more than
310,000 students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland were hailed by
ministers as the “sign of a thriving education system”. It is expected to trigger an unprecedented scramble for degree places following a record rise in the number of sixth-formers applying to university this year.

Wow it's a miracle now watch as muck up day is introduced and eggs and grades die for the rest o year in other words you are doomed you are doomed because now they are are going to get all well full of themselves and, "In England crime has gone up after muck up day has gone terribly wrong."

Florida Man Sues, Saying He Spent Three Months in Jail for Chewing Breath Mints

......ummm.......ummm......well this is interesting this crazy the police if this is true are the stupidest people in the world although anyone remember Barack Obama and the break into thy own house affair? Well I have a feeling this is just human error nbut here's more...

A Florida man is suing local police after he says he spent three months in
jail for chewing breath mints.Donale May said he was pulled over for an expired
tag on his car when an officer from the Kissimmee Police Department mistook the
white candies in his mouth for crack cocaine and arrested him on drug charges,
WFTV reported.The officer claimed that he saw May purchase drugs, that May
admitted to buying drugs and that the evidence tested positive for drugs, the
station reported.May, who denied the officer's claim, told WFTV that he
spent three months in jail until Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the
State Attorney's Office tests concluded that no drugs were found.During that
time May lost his job and his apartment as well as his car — after the police
department towed it and auctioned it off, WFTV reported.
May is seeking compensation for his lost job and car, the station reported.

ummm well human error it may be but 3 months and his apartment, job and car this is weird and i promise to find more eventually...
