What the heck is happening in this country.
Once again we see a frail eighty year old woman dying because somebody was to bloody lazy to listen and take notice.
This old lady was for three hours trapped in a manhole opened by mindless idiots that have no right to be running loose on our streets.
This was no accident, it was caused by some brainless thugs who had been terrorising this old lady until she was frightened to return home until after dark. They removed the manhole cover with the sole purpose in mind that she would not see it open in the dark, and so fall into it.
The local police superintendent said that they had not been made aware of this particular problem.
A colleague of the old lady said that she had reported it but the police were not interested.
Neighbours had also complained to the police about the gang.
So just how is a problem to be reported for the police to take notice. Don’t they relise that ignoring the problem now is only building a bigger problem for the future.
These yobs will think that they can get away with anything and so what next, mugging, burglary, knifing someone.
Catching them now and giving them a stiff sentence will stop some of them going on to bigger things.
What this country needs are boot camps, run by a strict military styled regime, a spell in these places just might teach them a little respect for others.
I’m sure if it had been their eighty year old grandmother, they would not have thought it was funny.
And before anybody says it I do relise what the police have to cope with and that when they do catch these yobs they need the backup of sensible magistrates. I am also completely anti PC, in fact I think that these idiots have a lot to answer for for what they have done to society today.

Our so-called NHS and caring society
How disgusting can you get? One heck of a lot it seems, Bristol NHS should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
War hero former Sergeant Bernard Warren 86 years old is dying of three cancers and dementia yet this pompous authority have the nerve to say he is not ill enough.
How the devil did they come to that conclusion, just how ill do you have to be.
His wife has nursed him at home for the past six years, how much money has that already saved this so-called NHS authority.
Officials told his wife that his condition did not tick enough boxes, what idiots run this place.
This man fought for this country and helped give them the life they have now and like any other person should be given the care that he now needs.
This is just another case of what is wrong with this country today.
These authorities are run by people who just sit in their plush offices drawing a ridiculous salary and whose only interest is balancing the books.
Like many others his wife has now got to try and find the money for his care herself.
If this is not disgusting I don’t know what is. It goes hand in hand with our MOD who do there damndest to try to find ways of cutting benefit for our boys injured in Afghanistan and the like
What the rest of the world makes of this country I hate to think.

Bravery of a six year old
How wonderful in these days of I’m all right jack, we see something really wonderful and courageous. Young six year old Billy Bates was on holiday and playing in a pool with arm bands on when he saw another young 4 year old lad out of his depth and in trouble. He was going under and waving his hands about as he sank.
What did young Billy do? He knew another young child was in trouble and although he could not swim himself he doggy paddled to the young lad and grabbed hold of his waist and kept the lad’s head above water until help arrived.
Young Billy’s comment, I was a bit scared, I wanted to help him.
Help him, the child’s dad said he saved his life.
Young Billy deserves a commendation. When he is older he will have something to remember with pride.
If this isn’t a lesson for us all I don’t know what is.
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if only there were more young Billies about.

Why do councils have to destroy things?
Today I walked around the place where I was brought up.
I was brought up in the Old Town of Hastings here in the UK. Now this is not to be confused with Hastings itself.
The Old Town is the fishing quarter of the original Hastings, with its fishing fleet that has fished off this coast for centuries.
Its historic houses and little passageways with their quaint old cottages give it its charm.
I spent a wonderful childhood here among what was a real community. It is the part of Hastings that people come to see. Frankly without the Old Town Hastings itself would not be a holiday attraction.
Admittedly it has the Castle which William the Conqueror built when he invaded England in 1066 but apart from that its just an everyday seaside town.
The problem being that we have councillors who believe we should all be dragged into the 21st century.
That in itself is ok, but here they try to destroy any connection with the past and build real monstrosities.
This is what is happening to the beautiful old town that I knew.
I think over the years instead of being proud of the old area they have constantly been jealous of it and tried systematically to destroy it.
First they drove a main road right through the centre of it cutting it into two.
Then they go about ripping out the old passageways and in their place build what they call modern town houses.
Slowly over the years what was a thriving bustling community has vanished.
Walking through those streets with every shop you needed there is now what?
The main High Street nothing but junk shops. George Street, instead of all the variety of shops once there now is a street full of pubs and cafes with tables and chairs lining the street.
The latest madness of this wonderful council is on our old Stade to rip down buildings that have stood there since I can’t remember when and replace them with a monstrosity of a building called a Jerwood Gallery, this Art box is set in the middle of an ancient fishing area regardless of the uproar and protest.
There are many other unused place for this HUT further to the other end of modern Hastings and St Leonards where it would fit in better.
But no, our councillors know better, this is where they want it. They left out the line of ‘this will destroy another part of this Old Town.’
My only wish is that the people of this town would get together, find out which councillors voted for this HUT, and vote them out of office. If this were done just maybe future councillors would realise they were put into office to organise and do the best for their town instead of systematically destroying it.
I just wish these people would come to realise that it’s the Old Hastings visitors come to see.
Destroy it and when it’s gone it’s gone. There is no going back.
You would not see places like Rye, just along the coast, destroying its heritage like this. They know what people come to see. They have more sense.

Union Leaders Flexing Their Muscles Again
Once again we have the union leaders banding together to try and bring a new government to its knees. Don’t they realise the mess this country is in.
What is it with the union members, most of them seem like lemmings following their union leader to the edge of the cliff. The trouble is when they reach it they, the union members, are the ones that go over, the union bosses do not go with them.
They still sit in their ivory towers spouting their bile against the employers.
Don’t they realise that things are tough, they are tough the world over and they ought to be working with the employers to work out ways to safeguard the jobs. All they seem to be interested in is bringing a firm to its knees.
It does not matter how much a company bends over backwards to meet their demands, they just come up with something else.
Do these union members honestly believe they have the support of joe public when they rejoice in their union leaders bringing airlines or rail services for example out on strike at holiday times.
They do their damndest to mess up your holiday and then cannot understand it if you do not support them.
Take the post office. OK the postman does a great job. I know what it is like starting while others are still tucked up in bed, out there in all weathers. I used to be a milkman.
Can’t these people see that if their union leaders have their way they soon will not have a job.
It’s a fact of life that Airlines, Post Office, Railways, Haulage Companies are there to make a profit and in today’s world there has got to be changes whether they like it or not.
I think these union members ought to take a minute and reflect on the miners’ strike.
The only person that came out on top there was Arthur Scargill . When all the mines closed down do they think he was in the dole queue with them. Like hell he was. All he left behind were devastated communities.
These leaders of their beloved unions make sure that if all goes wrong they are safeguarded, they are not going down with the members. They are there to create havoc no matter what.
If I was a union member the next time the union calls a strike I would ask myself how close I was to being without a job.
Get it into your heads you union bosses, Labour has gone. There is new light and hope in this country, just help repair the damage.
You just might be respected a little more by the public

Hospital Errors, Enough is Enough!
What is up with hospitals today, we know these people are stretched, but that’s no reason to get slapdash.
Another poor woman goes to hospital with severe stomach pains and passing blood. Records show over time she was seen by ten doctors. She was treated like a nuisance, told she was anorexia or had depression and given paracetimol.
She was finally given a CT Scan for all the good that did, and was told she was riddled with tumours and now with no chance of survival.
A spokeswoman from Heartland Hospital said we are very sorry for her concerns. OK that makes it alright then I suppose.
If it had been a relative of theirs treated like this I’ve no doubt they would have created merry hell.
It’s not the first time this has happened and no doubt will not be the last.
Defiantly not it seems for another poor chap in Nottingham had a brain tumour the size of a lemon, this he suffered for four years, a doctor failed to examine his scan results which were only discovered when he went to a different hospital, thank goodness somebody was on the ball.
We know all hospitals are not the same, I had surgery at my local hospital in Hastings and could not have been treated better, From the nurses to the Surgeon I was treated as if I were their only patient. Well done the Conquest Hospital.

The Formular 1 Mess
I’m a great fan of Formula 1. But can anyone tell me why they have to go and spoil it.
You get one team that gets penalised for some offence or other and another team with Pots of money get a piddling little fine and walk away with a grin on their faces.
The case in question being Ferraris last race at Germany, they blatantly tell one driver Felipe Massa to pull over and let Fernando Alonso overtake so that he would gain the extra points. This team seems to get away with everything.
I always thought that winning was about racing one against the other and the best drive wins.
But not now it seems. How anybody can take credit or have the nerve to stand on a podium for being allowed to win I’ll never know.
Shouldn’t somebody explain to them that to rejoice in winning you have to pit yourself against the others, otherwise why not just toss a coin and decide who wins,
Don’t get me wrong, I think Fernando Alonso is a great driver so why would he want to win by another driver letting him. Surly even he can see theirs no pride in it.
To be a real champion you have to achieved this on your own performance not on the back of others.
Are they frightened that Ferrari would pull out if they do not get their own way.
Maybe this would be a good thing, I would be sorry to see them go but I’m sure F1 would survive without them

It’s not April fool’s day is it?
There are a lot of things in this life that you just cannot believe but then that’s "It’s a crazy world".
But there are other things that you really cannot believe, like a UK commons committee inviting disgraced Sharon Shoesmith to give advice on child safety. What a joke!
This woman who was sacked by North London’s Haringey Council after failing to take baby P. in to care .
And that was despite evidence of serious abuse. This pathetic seventeen month old child suffered such terrible injuries at the hands of his despicable mother and her lover and the lodger. Between them this poor child was beaten and tortured to death.
Now they have invited this woman and four other experts to give evidence to the committee on child safety.
I would like to know who the rest of the committee is made up of. It does not bear thinking about.
PLEASE David Cameron you said you were going to get rid of all this stupidity. Before it’s too late, insist they change their minds.
Surely there must be more qualified people selected from the NSPPC and the like, for instance.
What are your views on this?

Policeman gets what he deserves
At last we see the police not covering up for one of their own.
A policeman loses his rag and drags a woman to the cells and then hurls her head first to a concrete floor.
Thank goodness for the courage of police woman Rachel Webb, she is the true hero here.
Seeing one of her colleagues Policeman Mark Andrews do this she did the right thing and reported him. Andrew was jailed for six months, I think he should thank his lucky stars he got off so light.
Lets hope that the other police at that station recognise that Rachel Webb did the right thing and do not start a silly campaign against her.
This helps give a little confidence back in our bobbies, after all they also are supposed to work for us the ratepayer.

Who’s having an affair now
Rooney plays away, Tiger Woods has string of affairs, George Michael is gay, SO WHAT! Do we really care.
Every the time you pick up a newspaper you can bet your bottom dollar there will be some star or other that has made the news this way.
Do the newspapers think that we are so sad that that is what really interest us or is it a just way of filling out the paper for lack of real news.
Does a footballer or golfer play any worse because of an affair he is having, Does a singers voice suddenly sound different, of course not.
It’s just that these people are always in the limelight and mostly away from home, and with the temptation.
Of course I feel sorry for the wives, but surly this is between them, let them sort it out without all the added pressure from the media.
I myself buy a newspaper and like to read the news, I thought that was what they were for but I suppose an affair of some celebrity or other sells the paper.
What a sad life some people must lead if this is what they get a kick out of reading.
I think I’ll stick to the Beano comic in future.

Do our councils ever learn?
Once again one of our wonderful councils forget who they work for and want the public to do the job we pay our council tax for.
Wiltshire Council sent a letter last week to tell the residents of an unadopted section of one road that they would have to drag their wheelie bins up to 100 yards along a potholed road in Trowbridge because the refuse lorry drivers say they won’t drive down it to protect their workers.
The residents of this unadopted section of road, of which the majority are frail pensioners in their seventies and eighties were told by Wiltshire Council last week that they would have to heave their bins to the end of the street because of fears for the health and safety of the binmen, what about the health and safety of these pensioners, doesn’t that matter.
The council added that the potholes could cause damage to vehicle tyres. What the hell are these workers paid for.
Many of the residents said that they would struggle to drag their bins along the unlit, pothole-ridden road, especially on darker winter days, as the street has not even got any lighting.
The angry residents rang the council with furious complaints and have been promised a meeting with the council and bin contractor Focsa.
One former refuse collector said: “I did this job about 17 years ago and this road, even with its potholes, is like a motorway for their vans compared to the conditions they face on the landfill sites. They say the tyres could be damaged, that is ridiculous.
He said “I live near the entrance of the street and even I would have a struggle to get my bin up there with my arthritis. If we do manage to get the bins there, what about the hazard of dozens of bins left in the road? This whole health and safety lark has gone mad.”
The council’s technical officer for waste and recycling told residents in a letter: “The refuse crew in your area have advised me of a health and safety issue when trying to load your bins on to the lifters.
The surface condition of the road is preventing the bins being safely manoeuvred for emptying, putting the operatives at risk. Additionally there is a risk that the potholes could cause damage to the vehicle tyres.”
One resident said: “I’m not very keen to walk up to the top with my bin. It would be very difficult for me, especially in the winter months. It is just not on.”
Her neighbour said: “We just want our bins collected from outside our homes again. It has always been done this way. The population here is elderly and not in the best of health.”
Another said “I think it would be just as great a health and safety risk to leave all the bins at the top of the road as it is to collect them from our houses.
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: “We understand residents’ concerns and are meeting them with a representative from our contractor Focsa to resolve the situation. Focsa is concerned about the safety of their staff and the public, however will continue with the current collection arrangements while the matter is resolved.
It should not take long to resolve it, GET RID of the firm you use and employ some sensible dustmen like we always used to.
It’s about time these councils remembered they are employed by the rate payer, their first interest should be to them.
These binmen are a joke. Where I live if your bin lid is raised because of the amount in there, they won’t take it.
If they find a bin with not a lot in, they take that out and put on the top of another one, even if that overfills it.
Somebody tell me what’s the difference?

Why did the Bosnian police waste their time
Bosnian police on Friday tracked down a Bosnian girl who sparked world wide outrage when she was seen on video throwing half a dozen puppies into a river.
The girl in her teens lives lives in the central town of Bugojno, police spokesman Sefir Barucija was quoted as saying, that officers did not plan to reveal her identity.
Under Bosnian law a person who kills or tortures animals is punishable only with fines ranging from 15 to 5,000 euros (19 to 6,400 dollars).
It turns out that if found guilty and fined it would be the first such case in Bosnia.
It’s reported that the girl's grandmother told her to throw the three-day-old puppies into the river and the girl believed that throwing puppies into river was "the most merciful" way to get rid off them.
The video shows a blonde girl taking the squealing black-and-white puppies out of a white bucket and tossing them into the fast-moving river one by one.
The video has been removed from YouTube but some Facebook pages are still dedicated to exposing the girl.
Once again it shows just how little regard some so called civilised humans have for these helpless creatures.
For the Bosnian police not to identify the person shows just how dedicated they are (and not in the animals favour)
This girl and her grand mother should have the book thrown at them.
What the hell did the police they waste their time for, was it just to make a show,. If the video had not been shown I doubt they would even have bothered anyway, after all the punishment is hardly worth their time.
The girl in her teens lives lives in the central town of Bugojno, police spokesman Sefir Barucija was quoted as saying, that officers did not plan to reveal her identity.
Under Bosnian law a person who kills or tortures animals is punishable only with fines ranging from 15 to 5,000 euros (19 to 6,400 dollars).
It turns out that if found guilty and fined it would be the first such case in Bosnia.
It’s reported that the girl's grandmother told her to throw the three-day-old puppies into the river and the girl believed that throwing puppies into river was "the most merciful" way to get rid off them.
The video shows a blonde girl taking the squealing black-and-white puppies out of a white bucket and tossing them into the fast-moving river one by one.
The video has been removed from YouTube but some Facebook pages are still dedicated to exposing the girl.
Once again it shows just how little regard some so called civilised humans have for these helpless creatures.

Do these people live in a different world
Only last Monday NICE our NHS rationing watchdog ruled that bowel cancer patients could not have access to the drug Avastin on the National Health Service because the cost of around £21,000 per patient was deemed too high.
It says it is not worth the cost to prescribe them to critically ill patients.
What I cannot understand is why do these top consultant oncologists insist on calling it a miracle drug that that they say can prolong the life of some patients for years? If they are not letting anyone have them.
Are these heartless dictators at NICE so stupid not to realise that to tell people with this cancer that if they took this drug they could live a lot longer but then to tell them they can’t have it, it’s to expensive..
And then they rub salt into the wound by splashing out on plasma screen televisions in its offices, also they are hiring 160 new staff and spending £500,000 refurbishing its offices, and that’s right after blocking this cancer drug.
What planet do they live on, I’m sure it’s not the same as us.
Tell me what you think !

Wow! The world’s gone mad!
Today I came to the conclusion that the world has really gone mad. Well it seems that the people we employ, the ones that work for the councils have anyway.
Today it comes out that the council employees who work for Notts County Council are refusing to give Lance Corporal Johno Lee a disabled badge.
Now Johno is not a lead swinger, he is not trying to get something he does not deserve. He lost a leg in Helmand and now has a prosthetic one.
But, believe it or not, their excuse is he is too young and may get better.
Do these people know something we don’t, is growing a new leg part of a secret medical plan. If it is I’m sure it will not be for a while.
Another example of town hall stupidity is in Hastings. One person paying their council tax monthly, paid every one of the payments and then was sent a demand saying that they still owed two months.
Now three times they spoke to a different council adviser, went through their payments with them one by one. They came to exactly the right amount. When they asked how the devil they could still owe two months, the answer! Because the computer says so. Wow! Must be right then.
Now after, as I say three times, the problem was sorted, the reason being that this person had one month paid too much, and the last month had adjusted it by just paying the balance. The council employee’s answer to this was, if you over pay or under pay, it is not counted and goes into a separate account which is then deducted next year.
Poppycock! What about all those people who pay in one or two payments, are they told the same story.
Come on David Cameron, give us that people power you promised so we can get rid of these idiot people and give the job to somebody with more common sense.

Are they wasting their time
What is the point of the police and organisations taking all the effort to catch paedophiles.
They put in endless time and effort with other groups from around the world to catch these evil people and get them put away where they belong.
Then Judge Jeremy Gold, when two of these people are brought up before him, says they are entitled to mobile phones. What cloud does he live on. Mobile phones, Internet, doesn’t he make the connection.
Would he look at it like this if it had been a grandchild of his who was the victim, I doubt it.
It makes you wonder whose side these people are on. Even former anti-porn cops say this judge is naïve.
It’s about time some of our judges and magistrates were taken a look at, because if they can’t do the job, I’m sure there are other efficient ones who can.
After a massive operation involving Britain, Australia, the United States and Canada, finally breaking up a network that was exchanging more than a hundred thousand videos and photos of children being abused, the ring leader is given just four years. It’s a joke, how long of this will he serve before he is back out on the streets, and doing this all over again.

It’s all right, it’s only a cat!
So that makes it OK then does it. Well obviously in this foolish woman’s eyes it does.
She picks up a poor helpless cat by the scruff of its neck, dumps it in a wheelie bin and calmly walks away.
Mary Bale, of Coventry claims the outcry had been blown out of all proportion, she says ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about. It's just a cat.'.
I’ll tell you Miss Bale what the fuss is all about. It’s about you, and what you did. You make a fuss of a little cat, not because you liked it, but to put it at its ease so that you could for you own amusement pick it up and drop it into a wheelie bin, and drop the lid.
She says ‘I thought it could wriggle out on its own’ well! Let’s put her in a wheelie bin of proportionate size, and see if she can just wriggle out.
She is supposed to be an intelligent woman who works in a bank for goodness sake.
Her mother said she could not understand it, she is an animal lover. Christ! I’d hate to be one she hates.
The poor little mite spent 15 hours trapped inside that bin before it was found, can you imagine the trauma it went through in that time.
Miss Bale said she doesn’t know what came over her, does she often have these lapses. I’d hate to have her handling my account.
Causing an animal distress knowingly is a crime, and this is what she did.
Let’s hope the RSPCA throws the book at her.
If you want to see what she did, then go to

How Vile Can They Get!
Britain's most disgusting person prosecuted for urinating on a war memorial fled court following being publicy shamed by elderly veterans.
An arrest warrant is out for Wendy Lewis, 32, who was given a "guard of dishonour" by angry veterans when she appeared at Blackpool Magistrates Court.
Caught on security cameras relieving herself on a seaside town's Cenotaph, before then performing a sex act on a man nearby.
She was found guilty of outraging public decency and was due to be sentenced Friday.
She turned up at court 40 minutes late, and did a runner before her case began.
So her and other dregs of society like her think it’s clever to do this sort of thing , but have not got the bottle to take the punishment.
Don’t they realise the debt that they can never repay to those who these memorials pay tribute to.
Without what these men and women went through, they would not be living in the free world they are today.
Punative sentences of a few day’s community service is not the answer.
We need boot camps set up where people like this and the scum who take pleasure in beating up elderly people for a few quid, can be sent and put through a strict, hard regime for a sensible length of time.
It’s about time people stopped making excuses for them. As for the idiots that think sending them on a holiday will do the trick, they should be sent along with them.

Animal Cruelty
Why is it that nearly every day you open a newspaper you read about some mindless cruelty to an animal.
What kind of pleasure does some sick-head get out of it, is it that the animal is usually of the defenceless kind, a cat, a rabbit etc. and they haven’t got the guts to try doing it to another human.
These people are really the threat to society, If they can do this what sort of parents can they be.
Any children they have then grow up with the dregs of society for parents, what chance do they have,.
Half the problem lies with the law, they get caught, come up in front of some magistrate or other that is so out of touch they could have got away with murder.
It’s about time that the law on animal cruelty was overhauled and really harsher sentences handed out, if they had owed their rates in most cases they would have got a harsher sentence.
You hear of them being banned from keeping a animal for a ridiculously short time, they should be banned for life.
When they catch the mindless scum they should let the pets owner have a while with them.
Give me just ten minutes with them, I promise you they would not ever think of doing it again.

Is Everybody Going Crazy
A teenager who was meant to be preparing for a job interview instead spent the morning in court.
Having been caught in a supermarket stealing 30 cans of drink. He was apprehended outside by the security gaurds.
Bear in mind, he had previous convictions for shoplifting and handling stolen goods.
In court he said to “be honest there was no excuse for what I did. I was bored“.
The Magistrates gave him a 12-month conditional discharge.
Does this make sense.
How many times do you hear this story, these people go out and commit these crimes, the police put in god knows how much time catching them, only for the local magistrates to slap them on the wrist and let them go.
Can anyone wonder why on earth this country of ours is like it is.
It seems to be that the only person they care about at the time is the criminal, it’s about time somebody tore up the rule book and let someone with common sense re-write it.
It does make you wonder about todays society, and where it’s going. You only have to look at the Gunman Raoul Moat case.
After what he did, people still think he is a bloody idol, how the hell do they come to that conclusion.

Newcomers that want to change things
I was born in this seaside town of Hastings and brought up in the Older part of the town, Old Hastings or the Old Town as we refer to it!
The Old Town is a fishing quarter and has been since the year dot.
Now we all know that associated to a fishing industry are seagulls, these are a part and parcel of life, more so in a seaside town with a fishing fleet.
Well I can understand people moving from the smoke to live by the sea, But! I can’t understand why the hell they do it and then do nothing but complain and moan about the seagulls.
They even go so far as to call for them to be culled. Alright we know at times they can drive you mad, especially when you have just washed the car (we all know what happens then) but why the hell do they move to seaside towns like this in the first place, surely a little country village away from it all or at least to a seaside town that does not have a fishing industry.
Years ago we had the same problem, we had motor cycle speedway meetings once a week, the track was around our local football clubs pitch, and well attended it was. It was that is until opposite the football stadium they decided to build bungalows.
What happens, people from London decide Oh! Hastings it’s a nice place, lets move there.
When two roads of these bungalows are all occupied, you’ve guessed what happens, haven’t you!, they get together, lobby the council, complaining about the noise from the speedway opposite, and hey presto! Get the speedway closed down.
For gods sake why don’t they when they come and look at a property, take the time to look around and find out what might annoy them, then they can make up there minds to look elsewhere.

Social Websites
One of the things that drive me mad is when you join a social web site you are bombarded with invitations to join this group or that group.
Surely we can browse through the groups and decide for our selves which ones we would like to join.
It’s not so much the being invited, it’s when you reject one it keeps coming back at you.
I find it tedious and a waste of time having to go through one by one rejecting them.
If only they all followed peoplestrings initiative and had a reject all button it would make life a lot easier.
With some of them I have lost count of the amount of times the invitation has come back.
It’s got so much so that I now do not bother to reject them at all. I just leave them to accumulate and now and again browse through the group section to see if there is any particular one that I would like to join, ones that interest me and I know that I will participate in.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but then we are all entitled to our own opinion.

Now That's What I Call Justice
Forty people were injured when a bull leapt over barriers at a Spanish bullring and ran amok among spectators.
Three people were in the emergency ward after being trampled when the bull escaped the ring in Tafalla, northern Spain yesterday.
Video footage showed the bull landing in the stands among hundreds of spectators after jumping high enough to clear both the 1.5 barriers around the ring and a narrow alley where the bullfighters and officials stand.
Some spectators tried to keep the bull still by holding it by its tail, while others hurled capes and missiles, causing it to charge. The bull that was eventually captured and no doubt slaughtered.
This happened during an event in which people try to provoke the bull to charge them.
The bull had already jumped twice into the alley surrounding the ring.
A 47-year-old man who it is said was gored in the back and was among half a dozen spectators taken by ambulance to the hospital at Pamplona, home to the San FermÃn bull runs.
The accident comes amid an intense debate in Spain about bullfighting, which was banned by the north-eastern region of Catalonia last month.
These people quite happily go to watch the poor creature being tormented, and then start screaming when this bull turns on them.
These people call themselves civilised, yet quite happily participate in this barbaric (what they call) sport.
I’m ashamed that even people from here in the UK go to watch this.
These people deserve everything they got.

Traffic Wardens
Don’t you just love them, I’ve never been able to work them out.The busiest road in the town, a couple of cars parked, both on the yellow lines, and the warden looks at them and walks on past.
Another time, a ferocious looking female traffic warden slaps a ticket on one poor woman’s car and because when after buying the ticket and closing the door, the draught blew her ticket off of the dash board and onto the floor, even after explaining what had happened, and my wife confirming it, this yellow peril still issued the ticket, you couldn’t make it up!.
Another time in a large car park on our beach, one poor man and his wife parked the car, the nearest machine is the other end of the car park, which I must say is quite large.
He and his wife go off to get the ticket, guess what, when they get back to the car, hey presto, you’ve guessed it! they have been booked.
Would the traffic warden listen to there explanation, nope! He had issued the ticket, and if you did not like it. appeal!
You read about some of these idiots slapping a ticket on a hearse, even the mayors car parked outside the town hall.
I’m waiting to hear of one booking a road sweepers cart because it’s on the yellow lines, I’m sure it’s going to happen sooner or later.
It honestly makes you wonder where their brains are.
To be fair, there are some decent ones, like when the wife and I went into town and I parked in a bay by the meter, I was just getting the ticket when this warden called out, he had seen me getting out of the car, I suffer with bad hips, he came across and said, “you should not be having to buy a ticket, with your disability you should have a blue badge” that warden was the most considerate I have come across.
If they were all like that, wouldn’t it make them more bearable.

Me2 Today
Well! It looks like a new chapter in the life of me2.
A new games area has been added and the announcement that shares are now not shares but Metoos.
I gather we are going to be able to purchase shares with this Metoo (hopefully on the 1 to 1 basis)
The countdown was a bit of a letdown, I think most of us were expcting some major announcement.
All these things take time, but things are falling into place, it’s better to get things right than having to keep changing them.
Lets hope, and I’m sure we are all waiting for this share/Metoos business to get sorted so that we all know where things stand.
In the meantime our Metoos are already earning us something, that’s a bonus
And Just In Case You Missed It!
Sunday 1st August 2010 Latest announcement! When your shares are converted into Metoo's, those that want to exchange them for registered shares will have 90 days to do so at the rate of 1 to 1
When the Metoo launches the name will be given to your allocated shares and your benefits will begin. Under an agreement with Complete Earth you will be able to exchange your Metoos for Registered Shares and the recommended rate will be set by Complete Earth. However Complete Earth is ready to make one small concession. They will guarantee that everyone between ID numbers 1 and 600,000 will be given a 90-day window to convert their Metoos into Registered Shares at a rate of 1 Metoo: 1 Share. In that period Complete Earth will increase the daily conversion maximum to 25,000,000 Metoos or more than two billion across the 90-day window. That’s more than enough to cover all members and assures you that any allocated shares amassed to date can be converted into registered shares within 90 days of the Metoo going live.
Anyway incase you missed it here is the rundown on The World of the Metoo
M2E 3D will be based on the village that becomes a metropolis and like every village it needs its own internal economy. Ours will be called the Metoo and they’re pretty cool because they give you:
1. A real world income source
2. The chance to use them in the 3D world
3. The chance to convert them into registered shares
Metoos = Real Word Income
Every member already has Metoos!
When you became a member or recruited someone you received some Metoos. When you upgraded or did some work you received even more Metoos. In fact if you click on the SHARES tab right now, you will see thousands of Metoos sat there, and every single Metoo has been making you a small amount of money!
“But I can only see shares...”
OK. We need to do a very quick recap here...
When you became a member or recruited friends we agreed to give you some shares. They were held by a partner company (now held by Complete Earth). The automated transfer system would allow you to convert all your shares into real, registered, fully paid-up shares and you would receive a share certificate for them. Then every year you would receive a dividend (a slice of our profits) and eventually you would be able to sell them on the stock market. Trouble is that automated system became delayed and so we started thinking... how can we make M2E more fun and give everyone a real world income that grows from every sale?
Currently your shares are “allocated”. This means that our partner company (Complete Earth) has set aside a number of paid-up shares for you. However to transfer 570,000+ sets of shares to our members would take a ridiculously long time without using an automated system. So unfortunately your shares have remained in an “allocated” state. In the very near future your allocated shares will be called Metoos and they will become the living economy of M2E 3D.
It works like this:
You continue with your membership and as we evolve into M2E 3D you will be able to earn more Metoos in different ways: from recommending new members to upgrading your virtual apartment. You could win one of our games or start an in-world business. There will be dozens of ways to earn more Metoos and so the more involved you become with m2E, the greater the number of Metoos you will own. Now like we said, those Metoos are worth money to you!
M2E will soon be making sales and depending upon the type of sale we’ll be putting up to 24% into a special METOO account. Every day that money will be shared (pro-rata) between all the Metoos in existence and your share will be added to your online statement (coming in M2E 3D). To be completely fair we’re going to backdate this to 9th January 2009: the day me2everyone.com went live. So, your Metoos have already started to earn you a little money. The more sales M2E achieves in the future (upgrades, business memberships, advertising, tree sales, game sales and a whole lot more) the more money goes into the Metoo fund. The more Metoos you hold the greater your share of the pool.
Metoos = In-world Virtual Currency
You will be able to use your Metoos within the 3D world – perhaps buying game credits or improving your experience. You will be able to gift them to your friends or to the Complete Earth Dream Maker Foundation where they can achieve some benefit for various charities and good causes. Earn Metoos for doing “village” type jobs and transform these into better ways of making a real income.
Metoos = Ownership of Me2everyone PLC
Remember, me2everyone is the village that becomes a metropolis all owned by you.
Every day Complete Earth will offer up to 12,000,000 fully paid, registered shares in Me2everyonePLC which you can acquire with your Metoos. That gives you a chance to share in our long-term future. Complete Earth will set an exchange rate every day (say 100 Metoos = 100 Shares) and you choose how many you want to convert. You get the registered shares and the share certificate and Complete Earth receives the Metoos.
