  • Gas - Electricity and Water

    Did anyone see the smug bastard who is the managing Director of British Gas justifying a 33% increase in charges in GMTV this morning ? Of course they are ONLY making 3% profit which still returns £5 billion profit!!
    Over the past 3 years I have shouted and shouted to no avail....I predicted that this would be coming over 2 years ago. WHY are the utilities we depend on to sustain life in the hands of PROFIT making companies ? Especially water! These should be state controlled or if they dont want the responsibilities then.....to a NON PROFIT company!
    Its a bloody travesty that the greedy pigs who control these utilities are completely profit orientated and have absolute disregard for the welfare of the community or indeed for human life.

    As we have a spineless Government, nothing will be done except a lot of windbags pompously posturing on TV saying that they are doing everything they can to help!

    The number one Utility that should be nationalised immediately is Water!
    How can you set a profit on a commodity that we cannot sustain life without ? Its no good blaming the US for everything. MOst of the problems have been caused by greedy profiteering by the utility companies.

    Get these companies nationalised again or put a block on any increases and make it illegal to penalise those in trouble and in debt from these swingeing criminals.

  • Dwayne Chambers.......drug cheat ?

    Just seen Dwayne Chambers on morning TV.....and a load of well known athletes and celebrities distancing themselves from his deed and also shaking their heads pompously as if they were never guilty of anything ever in their lives!
    This guy was wrong in what he did but has paid the price for it. He should be restored back into athletics as he WILL be watched and checked continuously because of his past. I see no danger in it and he is very publicly remorseful about it.
    If this is correct then you are saying he is worse than a murderer, as they only get upto 6 years these days and yet taking drugs to enhance your performance is a lifetime sentence!! What poppycock!!
    Let him in and win some medals for us! And stop being so bloody self righteous and judgemental! I see footballers kick the shit out of each other,and its accepted! Boxers punch the bollocks off the opponent if no one is looking! Its ALL a form of cheating! And you cant tell me that some of our best known footballers dont go on the field with the finest columbian oozing from their nostrils! Wake UP and taste the coffee!

  • Petrol....How to combat high prices

    Here are some things not a lot of peple know , that may help you to stretch your money, take heed!:

    1.......Only buy petrol in the early morning when the ground temperature
    is cold.

    All petrol pumps store their petrol beneath the ground.The colder the ground, the more dense the petrol. When it gets warmer, petrol expands.. so buying in the afternoon or evening....your litre is not exactly a litre! In the Petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel, ethanol and other products play a big and important part. A one degree rise in temperature is a big deal in this business but the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps !

    2........When filling up do not squeeze the nozzle to a faster mode!

    The trigger normally has three speeds...low , middle and high. You should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimising the vapours that are created when pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping at the fast rate,some of the liquid in your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tanks, so your getting less worth than your money is buying!

    3........Fill up when your tank is HALF FULL !

    The reason for this is that the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying the empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you think! Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. The roof serves as zero clearance between petrol and atmosphere, so it minimises the evaporation.

    4........ DO NOT FILL UP if there is an storage tanker filling up at the station!

    Thee is a strong possibility that the perol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered and you might pick up some dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

    Remember...Always Fill up in the morning--when your tank is half full-- and in SLOW mode!

    Apart from that try to drive in higher gears which uses up less fuel.

    Now....put that in practice and see how much less you pay than when you didnt do it!

    And send any savings my way! lol

  • Beware in Staffordshire!

    car 1

    Look at the car in front of the 60mph signs. Now imagine a civilian dressed in Police uniform standing directly in front of the sign holding a hand operated speed camera 'clocking' cars accelerating up from 30mph towards the sign. Apparently until you 'pass' the sign, the speed limit is still 30mph, and therefore you are breaking the speed limit if you are doing anything over 30! A very Blatant case of raising revenue and reaching given targets to increase their earnings. And dressed in Police Uniforms to stop the public from attacking them, although they are NOT Policemen!
    These bastards are employed under the 'Safety Partnership'and paid a salary and comissions on how many they catch. Each have a target to reach each month given to them by the Staffordshre Police and the Council.
    What this particular operation had anything to do with ' Road Safety' is preposterous. Just greedy bastards out to make as much money as possible.

    That 15 feet cost me £70 and 3 points on my licence for doing 37mph.
    I have driven over 3 times around the world and a very Safe driver with nothing on my licence when I came here, and within the space of 9 months I now have 6 points. I pity the people living here permanently as it is a blatant case of bullying by the local authorities and robbing them of their hard earned money.

    Beware.....There are more speed cameras in Staffordshire than in the WHOLE of Europe.

  • Mugabe...Pity there is no oil in Zimbabwe!

    The surprising thing about all of the killing and beatings this syphillis infested tyrant is continuing to inflict on both white and black, is that not a single African country has condemned any of it. Is it because most of them if not all, agree with what he is doing but afraid to say so aloud ? I have a feeling this is so.

    Africa is now the begging bowl of the World, thanks to its tyrannical tribal leaders, who grab any aid from the West and then spend it on the latest mercedes and gold plated atrocities that low taste conjures up with newly found wealth.
    It shows that Africa has not moved forward from the barbaric ways of the indigenous tribes, where spears and knives have been replaced by machine guns and baseball bats. Usually inflicted on the poor and needy and those unable to defend themselves by the murderous bastards who pocket all the aid that is generously donated by gullible but good causes.

    The merest excuse to use the race card is blatantly exhibited and the 'Whites' are blamed for everything. Today in Sharm el Sheikh, a reporter who approached Mugabe for an opinion was told by a black henchman that he would be blasted if he came any nearer, and that who did he think he was approaching a 'State leader'??!!!

    'Is it because you are white that you think you can approach a national leader like that ?!'

    I think its time we woke up to the African situation. Aid should be stopped immediately on all counts where monetary contributions are given either by Governments or by Charities. These people have to learn to live like the rest of the World and not fed with silver spoons. We should only think of makng them self-sufficient by training and encouragement. What are all the African doctors, nurses, Lawyers, Plumbers, Architects, Teachers doing here in the West? They should be in their own countries helping to uplift standards and make Africa a place where their experience would be valuable......More valuable than continually giving them money. That obviously doesnt work. By all means train the kingpins of their societies here in the West but then export that knowledge immediately they are qualified.

    Corruption, brutality,cruelty on an unimaginary level are everyday things in Africa, unfortunately when their citizens come here, some of those traits are imported into our own communities. I am not saying we are any better in some cases, however we are nowhere anywhere near the levels that are 'normal' in Africa. Amazing then that after all this time that people like Mandela and Bishop Tutu have suddenly emerged to condemn Mugabe's behaviour......what took them so long ? Is it because it is now so topical, its time to distance themselves from any negative fallout that may ensue ?

    I have it on good authority that Mugabe is at an advanced state of Syphillis, which is being blamed on some of his behaviour.

    Pity that Zimbabwe does not have oil......The SAS would have knocked him out ages ago and we would of been there to help!
