I received a letter from Southwark council yesterday that, in my opinion, says a lot about 21st century Britain and New Labour. Apparently the broken glass cement on the top of the perimeter wall of our flats is to be replaced by something that won’t cause injury to those climbing over. Er, excuse me, I thought that was the point!?
While I'm on the subject of security, I found this while I was doing a bit of online Crimbo shopping and found this beaut. It shreds your private documents into 3.5 mm x 50 mm cross-cut particles. Thrown in is a pivoting head function, and crucially, an auto-start facility. I’d like to see Mohammed from Whistlestop try and celotape my credit-card receipts back together after they've been through this baby. LOL!

Shockwaves
Is there a better hairgel than Shockwaves available on the market? I don't think so!
Great corporate site too.

Trident
The government's White Paper on the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent makes for interesting reading. As anyone interested in defence matters knows, Trident (as opposed to air-borne or land-based weapon systems) is the only means by which this country could take out sixteen major world cities within 45 minutes.
If the mad mullahs of Tehran decide to play hardball, they should know that we can wipe out Qom, Tehran, Damascus, Tripoli and most of the Transjordan with just a nod of the head to our subs. Carnage.

Top FIVEs
This is going to be a regular feature on the blog, so hope you like it. Every now and then I'm gonna put up a few of my favourite things, in list form.
This time around, it's my...
TOP 5 COVER SONGS THAT ARE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
1. A1- Take on Me (Original- A-Ha)
How do you perfect a classic? I don't know, maybe you should ask A1. Whatever happened to those guys? I tipped them for the top- great looking fellas too. Hopefully they'll google this and get in touch.
2. I Am the Walrus- Oasis (Original- John Lennon)
Liam's leering vocals are just right for the '90s reinterpretation of this Lennon classic.
3. Teenage Kicks- Busted
As performed by the group at the Brit Awards. Just a helluvalot of energy there. Rock out! Matt from Busted is a great friend of mine...but the song gets into the top 5 on its own merit!
4. There She Goes- Sixpence None the Richer
Not a lot of people remember this little tune from the '90s. It was originally performed by a band called the LAs, which explains that West Coast type groove. The singer is hot, she can come down to the club any night of the week! LOL.
5. Always on My Mind- Pet Shop Boys.
Elvis? With a synthesiser? Nice one! I've always thought Elvis was a bit overrated myself.

Off the Boil
Hey guys, sorry about the lull in posting- I've been having domestic nightmares. The boiler in my South Bank flat has broken and the agency have only been sending alien plumbers to fix it. Needless to say, the job has taken much longer with a Pole than it would have otherwise.
I've nothing against the Poles (although I should think that the residents of Crewe might have something to say about 3,000 of them moving in next door to them just last year) but when it comes to the maintenance of domestic appliances, I think you have to draw a line. Corgi registered? I don't think so. The EU cannot play games with people's lives like that.
