Stu Turns 27

Today sees our tank man Stu Long celebrate his 27th birthday. Pictured above doing his Spanish Olympic basketball player impression (Google it if you don't know what I mean), Stu is a proud and doting father to baby daughter Mischa. He also enjoys golf and football and is a talented and speedy forward. In addition, in our eleven a side match a few months back he also proved himself to be an excellent goalkeeper. Stu is responsible for making sure that all boiler components are fitted correctly and, judging from our low warranty breakdowns , is doing a good job of it. Keen fan of Birmingham City FC (well nobody is perfect), Stu enjoys a weekly football flutter and specialises in enormous accumulators which invariably fall down on a freak result. (Which one this week Stu, Liverpool, Chelsea or Man U?). Have a great day Stu. My holiday doesn't mean you don't get a mention.

So ex Telegraph editor Charles Moore is going to withhold his TV License fee if the BBC don't sack Jonathan Ross. It's not like someone from the Torygraph to advocate civil unrest and uprising and I find this proposal pompous in the extreme. If we all withheld our fees because we objected to something on the Beeb they would have no fees at all. Here are a few excellent reasons to withhold the fee. "Hole in the Wall"."Top Gear""Eastenders". Now I'm sure some of you will totally disagree with me but that's the beauty of democracy and that's why I say bring back Ross and **** Charles Moore.


Just had a blood pressure reading of 135 over 80. First day I haven't been in touch with the office. Coincidence?

After the atrocity of the stoning of poor Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow in Somalia for the crime of being raped, I see that Islamic fanatics have now blinded and scarred Kabul girls with acid for the sin of daring to go to school. It is so brave of these "Men" to spray battery acid into girls' faces for their wickedness in seeking an education. Is it not time that the true Muslims stood up and denounced these extremist fanatics for what they are - women hating bastards.

I am so pleased that I live in a word where Eddie Izzard can say this about Christianity without fear of reprisal. I somehow doubt we will ever see a similar routine about Islam. I hope you don't think I am being flippant in adding this after a serious comment but I hope it makes my point.
