Don't pay your TV licence & Fun at the fun factory!

All of a sudden its not going to be a criminal offence to not pay your TV licence.

"Step back in amazement!" for some reason Tory MP Anbdrew Bridgen has suggested that hard up people are being "Criminalised for being poor"!  Looks like the loonies have taken over again! although im all for scrapping this ridiculous old fashioned idea.
I did spot an article by the BBC suggesting the licence should be scrapped.  Its probably an open invitation for people to stop payting the thing all together- - -
Have you ever searched for your name on the internet? Depending how many "entries" you might have the results are Scary but here's an article on "How to disappear from the internet in 9 easy steps"

Its a Metro article and go's into a lot of detail about how you can scrub your details from the WWW. - - - I'm not convinced it would work  - - -






You have to applaud enterprise don't you?

This little dumping scam takes the biscuit though.  Criminals cut a hole in the side of an empty warehouse and proceeded to fill it with lorry loads of 3000 cubic metres of rubbish!
The landowner looks to be responsible for the removal and clean up of the site though!  - - -




Animal videos links!

A chinese dog owner found a small puppy with a broken leg and once mended his own dog carries it around in a basket while it is recuperating  - - -




Husky alarm clock

 This one is quite amusing and shows a huge husky intent on getting the bloke out of bed one way or another - - -








Closer to home
Sainsbury the tabby had some fun the other night! I awoke to him springing around the bed and switching on the light discovered he was chasing a mouse!
Jumping out of bed at the same time as the mouse jumped off it he then proceeded to chase it around the bedroom for a while.  It obviously evaded him because he soon after left the house and returned with another "victim". This one he ate at the top of the stairs leaving the inedible bits in a soggy heap.
At breakfast we could hear what was obviously him searching out the "escapee".
After a short while he descended the stairs in triumph and tormented the poor thing around a stack of washing on the kitchen floor

Here he is having let it "escape" and with a look of "no chance" in his eyes as it scurries away.
Cruel? - - well I suppose it is, I have rescued them sometimes and returned them to the garden but he either finds them or catches another one. As Sally often says "tis nature"

Down at the fun factory its been business as usual with the usual "challenges" from customers.  There are really only 2 "types" of customer. Ones that know what they want and cant find it and those that really have no idea what they want but will engage you in almost meaningless stilted conversations to achieve their aim!
Its personal review time again and the "Colleague passport" reared its head about "advancement up the retail ladder!"  I managed to put it across that I had reached my "zenith" in the retail world and was quite happy where i was.  Its not a bad idea for the youngsters but at my time of life - - - no thank you.
"Labour matching" is a new phrase to me and its affecting a whole raft of colleagues who don't seem amused.  Some people signed up for hours that fitted in with looking after kids or whatever and now they are being asked to "volunteer" to change those hours.  It makes sense to the shop to have the maximum amount of colleagues "on deck" when its busiest. For some colleagues though its not possible to fit in the new suggested hours.  No doubt a few procedural boxes will be ticked before they are asked to leave if they don't "volunteer"
Enjoy the day
