Today I'm angry about.....

[Worthy4England]

Myself for having little or no domestic knowledge and tumble drying my favourite delicate wool jumper that cost £60.

who in their right mind would spend £60 on a jumper??

£60!? where do you get a decent jumper for less?

What you doing with jumpers anyhow? soft buggers.

I doubt it, the bish, but I bet he values his thigh boots and boa.

I've got no qualms spending that on a jumper. Jumpers last a long time (unless thrown in a tumble drier, as proved today) and I get a lot of wear out of them. When I've bought cheaper things in the past they've not lasted as long and needed to be replaced. Probably works out the same in the grand scheme of things.

Plus - it pays to look good

Ignore him, Jimbo. Thebish doubtlessly spends all of his waking hours in the works issue 'cloth' anyway.

We stylish bastards were spending upwards of £40 on quality jumpers down at Man And His Clothes and/or Scholes and Scholes back in 84.

A bish is a man that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing etc. etc.

Could I suggest that the opposite appears to be true?

And let face it, if the jumper is going to make the difference, then there's a bigger problem...

Back in my day that's the only thing you nicked sheep for!!!!!

[Verbal]

You're angry about your exam results? What happened?

Erm, congratulations?

Errrrr yeah well done.

note to self: don't post when drunk.

But yes, cause for celebration

[Lord Kangana]

Thats £240 for a set of impromptu goal posts. You'll have to ask to the club to lend you Elmander to justify the price of 'em.

So, we budget arount £70,000 to grit all the towns roads through winter!!!
Clearly along with the bin episode Cllr Ismail Ibrahim is quite clearly out of her depth yet again! Where was the rest of the money and investment you should have planned to keep roads open for buisiness nad schools?
Buying skips for women to throw their old underware in for "poor" nations?

Don't vote Labour or the state will well and truly screw you!

(Sits back and waits for William to arrive with his standard "Nanny" comment.)

I think there must be somewhat more to this story than has been printed.

I fail to believe that the "budget" for gritting is 70K and knowing that public organisations usually budget by department rather than service, wonder where the number has originated from!

The increase of 30 gritting runs doesn't seem to explain the massive jump either.

And is it a pay or a non-pay budget?

Or am I missing something?

I'm bloomin' livid about this, a blind decision made by empty suits to appease a-not-yet-elected Tory government that increasingly looks like it might never exist, and a commercial sector that thinks the Kaiser Chiefs best represent 'alternative'.

Councillor Ibrahim unlikely to be out of HER depth...

But i take it as conclusive evidence that in hobo world even a bearded Asian man is your fantasy nanny...

This story doesn't add up... My suspicion is a zero missing on last years figure...

[Lord Kangana]

Look no further than management consultants hobo. Boton council (and most others) were enouraged to sell off snow plows/gritters because of the inherent inefficiency of keeping vehicles and resources that would be used for about a month every 3 years. Based on normal winters. And the real braindead idea was to borrow/lease were there to be a sudden snowfall. Where they were to borrow from after all the councils had rid themselves of these unneessary appendages wasn't made entirely clear. Freemarket thinking. F*cking brilliant.

Actually I'd put that down to labour no brain thinking!
