Gotta Keep 'em Decorated
If you're paying so much attention to restaraunt decor, you might miss the creepy crawlies creeping in your grub! I love themed places but only when its done tastefully. There's one cheesy place which has New York as a theme. The liberty statue and sidewalks are plastered all over the walls and all the people have bad 80's wigs and sunglasses. But just round the corner we have the Hard Rock cafe and forest themed place which is sooo cool. Its like stepping outdoors indoors.— January 16, 2008 7:23 a.m.
Praying in Jail
The British prison population curently stands at 80,000 and there's talk of cutting that number by 12,000. If that were to go ahead, how many of those released do you think would re-offend and find themselves back in jail? For the brutal murderer and paedophile cases in which there is 100% solid proof as to who the culprit is, capital punishment should be the sentence. Butits a dangerous power to have like euthanasia, its so easy for a mistake or misjudged opinion to swing the verdict.— January 16, 2008 7:18 a.m.
Praying in Jail
Hahahhaha thats all so true. Its even worse where I live. The average prisoner gets all the perks and home comforts a working class family would have to spend years working for. A jailed politician gets a luxary carpeted cell with computer and supervised trips on the outside. Plus killers and rapists get jailed for a year and will get out earlier for good behaviour. People who look at a so called ethnic minority or forget to adjust their windscreen wipers exactly 2 cm to the left, get a decade. I always thought prison was about the loss of privalege, not the gaining of it. They tell us prisons are overcrowded. I say bring back the noose and have done with some of these filthy creatures.— January 16, 2008 12:51 a.m.

Damn That Traffic Jam
Hahaha dweeb, what a funny word. Its been a long time since I heard that. You should put all your crashers together for a book. I'm sure that would sell like fresh baked cookies!— December 31, 2007 6:35 a.m.
Jim Gaffigan - Best Comedian Working Today
Thanks for the tip, I'll just catch the next plane.— December 31, 2007 6:32 a.m.
Brandy, You're a Fine, uh, Driver.
Its equality! NOT! I just read about Gordon Ramsey's son being allowed to board a plane with an invalid passport however a passenger (ordainary member of public) with a similarly invalid passport was not! Its predictable if anything.— December 30, 2007 12:10 p.m.
Old People Behind the Wheel
Aww poor old folks. Some of them are still quite good at 80 and 90 but most have failing eyesight and Parkinsons's disease or arthritis. And then of course there's early dementia. I have to agree, their case does not look good. I think they should take a fitness test every 2 weeks after the age of 65 and as soon as they start showing the signs, the licence should be revoked. But to compensate the elderly, we could create a new industry in younger chauffers and assign them to be the desgnated drivers for the oldies until they die.— December 27, 2007 3:52 a.m.
And Now You Don't Know the Rest of the Story
I read that the tiger was deliberatly let out of it's cage and that a year ago it already chewed a zookeepers arm. So people knew it had a history of aggression and that there was in a high security enclosure. Personally I think it serves people right to get mauled if they go about taunting animals, especially caged ones who aren't happy anyway. But there must be something in the air because a similar thing happened in india with a Bengal tiger and an idiot tourist. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/ne…— December 27, 2007 3:42 a.m.
