Not prurience, not ghoulishness, no. It's proper real news I tell you. When I look back on the news of 2013 it can be summarised by 1. Ed Miliband's Hurt Feelings, and 2.

I'd had the audacity to advertise my business premises without permission from the council. Criminal matter, that.<br /><br />Long story short: fined 700 quid. The 'man' whose case was heard before mine had drunkenly thrashed his girlfriend in the street, breaking her nose. Fined 50 quid. <br /><br />That's when I realised what a bunch of cunts the police, magistrates, lawyers, the whole fucking lot of them, are.<br /><br />BTW I had heard that Glasgee pubs could be a bit rough, but a helicopter in the heed in just taking the piss.<br /><br />Vincent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-84848326162765564222013-12-01T21:27:49.004+00:002013-12-01T21:27:49.004+00:00That cunt Salmond got his nationalist slant in on ...That cunt Salmond got his nationalist slant in on the act too.

Course it'll be drones soon, little metal dragonflies charging themselves up in the radiation from phone masts, one on every rooftop. But maybe not, cheap means not as tax-deductible.

What,...'Suspected body on a railway line'?<br /><br />What, the fuck, did that need a chopper for? Was the corpse going to get up and leg it if they didn't get there quickly?<br /><br />Fucking deadly things helicopters. Used to be in them every day for 18 months working in Gabon. Statistically they're about as safe as a mid-life-crisis motorcyclist riding a 1000cc Fireblade on a B-road.<br /><br />I though the US police had long since given up chasing speeding motorists for exactly the reasons you posit. Ie chasing them just puts even more speeding vehicles and hence danger on the road. I did the figures with deaths caused by police cars in the UK and mile-for-mile drunk drivers are safer than our specially trained police drivers.<br /><br />Bad luck if you happened to be down the pub though. Of all the fucking places to crash. A pub. In Glasgow. On a Friday night. The pilot wasn't a muslim was he?jgm2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-73289361652981665462013-12-01T20:12:51.459+00:002013-12-01T20:12:51.459+00:00I think he's been Milibanded out, Murphy, may...I think he's been Milibanded out, Murphy, maybe seen as too-much-Jock, where Scots once dominate the NewLab front bench I think there's now only the loathsome hobgoblin, Douglas Alexander, left.<br /><br />".....returning from a job looking for a 'suspected body on a railway line...false alarm'."<br /><br />They put them up at any opportunity, just because they can.
