Royal parasites? Why surely we have concerns closer to home.

There's whoever's charging ?4.10 a pint for starters. Then the irritating smear campaign tosspots at Tory Party HQ, not to mention those anal probers in their saucers abducting our (and Surrey's)!! finest.

First up against the wall.......then put into a gibbet obviosuly.

?4.10! Bastards.


It was last Thursday evening when I last ventured out of the font door to briefly wash off life?s coarse passing with a few pints of redemption.


I normally have pint of Badger when visiting this particular pub, the one next door to my house. It costs about ?2.80, the pint of Badger not my house, which I think is a bit steep but nevertheless acceptable.


I didn?t order Badger on this occasion though. Oh no I was suckered by the new, big, shiny pump attached to the bar proclaiming in red letters that it dispenses Peroni.


?May I please have a pint of Peroni?? I asked.


??Course you can.? Said the barmaid. The pretty one with long black hair, not the pugnacious one who throws her cigarette butts out the 1st story window onto my car.


She made with the pint pulling and I did some of that patient waiting at the bar which is the traditional thing to do in that particular situation.


?That?ll be ?4.75 please.? She said.


?Fuck me!? I said.


?I?ll remind you that I know your wife!? She said.


?mnn mm sorry ?? I mumbled and handed over a fiver, you know proper paper money and everything, to have but a couple of tiny silver coins returned to my down-at-heels palm.


I took my purchase to my usual table in the corner, guarding it closely for fear that its resale value may attract the local form. I didn?t enjoy it much.


I left the pub by the back door, impoverished and confused by this cruel new world I had found myself in where pints of beer cost a fiver and people just carry on as if everything was normal. I wandered in despair for at least a couple of minutes until I got to the other pub.


The other pub has big television screens which show various things mostly involving balls or horses. It has a cocksure barmaid from Australia with big breast and a chubby barman from Essex with bigger breasts. It has specials on Thursday nights and you can get a pint of Stella for ?2.50 or a pint of Carlsberg for ?2. You can also get beaten up for free most nights of the week.


The barman supplied me with libation and an initially confusing conversation in which he kept on referring to someone called ?Our Kate?. I found this odd as I don?t remember ever acquiring something called a Kate. I gradually got the gist of what he was ?on about?. Or at least I think I did. I?m not entirely sure where I?m going with this but I don?t think that barman would be too keen about the idea of a gibbet.


Ooh look a squirrel.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
