It's What Beveridge Would Have Wanted


Great lines of the 21st Century - No. 2,349.

A pal of mine - let's just call him Pat, although his real name is.......is..........well............Pat, came across an acquaintance in the pub the other day.
Said acquaintance last hauled his fat, spotty, purulent arse out of bed to go to work when God's dog was a mere puppy. Since then, after a brief outing as a Coronation Day flag-seller, he has done FUCK ALL!! His P45 is, in fact, in the Victoria and Albert Museum!!
He is, however, kept in the higher rate tax bracket thanks to incapacity benefit (he suffers from chronic indolence), job-seekers allowance (he allows other people to look for work), child benefit (he has spawned more offspring than the average cod) and settee credits - all this, mind, without fear of bills for his rent, phone, clothes, bets, prostitutes, drugs or Tenants Extra ever being shoved through his letterbox to disturb his enjoyment of Trisha because, like the rest of his fucking outgoings, WE fucking pay them!
Where was I? Oh yes. So Pat sees this sloth at the bar and in a spirit of altruism says: "Can I get you a beer?"
What did our welfare system wonder reply? I kid you not, he said....................."No, let me get you one. You can't afford it, you're working."
I am a Socialist, but that is Socialist spelt S O C I A L I S T and not C U N T!
He can go to Grantham.

Someone like this should have his benefits cut off completely.

Ideally with rusty cheesewire.

I believe that Harold Wilson claimed that the Labour Party owed more to Methodism than Marxism.

Funny how a million Poles can come here and walk into jobs while our work ethic bereft scroungers claim that they 'have a bit of a sore leg' and 'suufer from the stress'.

Isn't there some politico currently exhorting doctors to write 'wellness notes'? You know, 'To whom it may concern: No way is this fucker anything but bone bloody idle. He don't show up for work, DON'T PAY HIM. Sincerely, etc etc.'

Now this I gotta see.

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.
