Happy Birthday George

They say life begins at forty, but Guido reckons George Osborne’s birthday today won’t be as much fun as when he was twenty. He still has one vice these days – orange jelly

          Nemo, I’d agree that the footballer/slapper aspect of superinjunctions is just titillation, but what about the Marr, Trafigura and similar cases? Guido named a prominent steel magnate and Labour party donor recently as a superinjunction holder – what dodgy dealings is he concealing? There is clear public interest in cases such as these.

          • Concerned says:

            …and the family courts abuses?

          • Nemo says:

            Yes I agree with you on that point, it seems that the old Tit & Bum is not interested in that sort of thing, if Guido can highlight these why cannot the dead tree press. In same bucket?

            Billy, I think they think they mean like in the US, we have been living US economic theory for the past 32 years, why do we have to do everything like they do in the States

            Quite! We could end up with Omaha Chukkawallah as president.

        Nemo says:

        there should be a set age at which a judge should retire, people can not go on for ever contrary to present political opinion, and the also the age at which a MP and a sitting member of the lords should retire (falling asleep in the HoC with all that racket going on) judges drifting off during a trial etc

    He should get a superinjunction about his age, it won’t do to know that he is actually a grown up, otherwise people will try to hold him to account.

    Crash Bang Wallace’s Don’t let Gordon be forgotten or forgiven (link in Seen Elsewhere) is quite fun. The BBC is looking for people to chose eight records, to produce a show of the nation’s favourite picks and Mark suggest that we all chose “Gordon is a Moron” by Jilted John.

    My eight were:
    Jilted John – Gordon is a Moron
    Steve Stills – Go Back Home
    J J Cale – Lies
    Deep Purple – Living Wreck
    Swinging Blue Jeans – You’re No Good
    Led Zeppelin – What Is And What Should Never Be
    Rolling Stones – It’s All Over Now
    Uriah Heep – Kiss of Freedom

    For immediate release: 23 May 2011

    EnCore Oil plc (“EnCore” or “the Company”)

    Cancellation of XEO Exploration Flotation

    EnCore Oil (LSE: EO.) announces that, in light of current market conditions, exacerbated by the uncertain investment climate created following the recent tax changes, the Board has decided to cancel the flotation of XEO Exploration and the related offer to EnCore shareholders.

    Commenting on the decision, EnCore Chief Executive Alan Booth said:

    “In the few weeks since the Treasury announced substantive taxation changes, the market appetite for UK North Sea exploration has diminished markedly. Against that background, we were encouraged by the indicated institutional support we received for XEO, but given that the whole strategy behind XEO was to pre-fund a ten to twelve well three year exploration programme without the continual need for fundraising, we felt that it was prudent to withdraw the flotation.”

    So this so-called clean-cut, family man has now been revealed as a fucking dishoest twat who plays away. I couldn’t care less what he does with his prick but I vomit at the hypocrisy of this guy and others like him. No longer the good guy of Man United he will now be considered a devious twat and will be barracked at all games in the future by the oposition supporters.

    Time to retire methinks.

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
