Whatever happens

The farcical scenes of Polling Stations running out of ballot papers, stupid Northerners or Students not turning up in time or with the wrong paperwork, staying open later than the 10pm deadline et al. means there will be a good chance of all and sundry calling "foul".

A re-run is an absolute certainty.

Hopefully OH will get even more votes next time.

Don't be idle

North Lincolnshire plans to introduce £20 fines to people who leave their car engines running whilst parked, because of climutchange.

The power is being given to parking attendants who will use their "common sense" when deciding whether a fine should be imposed. Firstly, I don't think I have met a parking attendant who has "common sense" and secondly, I paid for the petrol so I will use it how I bloody well want!

How long before parking attendants will be checking the depth of tread on your tyres, or whether there are any cracks in your windscreen?

Utter, utter wank.

Laughable

I suppose it was inevitable - we poor smokers who now have to venture outside the pub for a ciggy are still killing everyone; only now with THIRD-HAND SMOKE.

I can't wait to read read Leg-Iron on this one.
