Stop Or I’ll Release My Dog…If You Don’t Mind

We had a brief reprieve from making fun of the UK for their stupid policies the other day. The reprieve is over! Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen? We don’t want to offend anyone, or, heavenly day, they might sue us because we unleashed police hounds on them. And in what court …

The UK Finally Gets One Right

We love picking on the UK here because they make it so simple, so it’s only fair that we now and then make mention of things they get right. British drivers face jail for causing death by dangerous driving The use of mobile phones is also treated robustly with the Council advising that if an …

The Parking Attendant Must Have Been Unconscious Too!

In England, a woman was driving along and began to feel dizzy, so she pulled over so she wouldn’t crash if she lost consciousness. She did lose consciousness, and when she woke up, she found she’d been given a parking ticket. She was clearly visible, sprawled at the wheel, but all the guy did was …

Political Correctness Is Flying Blind

Hmmm. I think political correctness needs a straightjacket. In Britain, if you are interested in a position as an air traffic controller, feel free to ask for the application in braille. They’ll have to give it to you, only to have you fail out when it’s time for the medical exam. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! When …

More On The Fruits And Nuts Who Regulate Fruits And Nuts

There’s a great article in the Washington Post about the European Union’s ridiculous fruit and vegetable regulations. Reading it leads me to a question. How can anybody possibly stand living there? I know government is horrible everywhere for all kinds of reasons, but lord love a duck, just look at some of this crap! Consider …

I’m All Shook Up, Even Though It’s Mandated That I Be Less Shook Up To Prevent Illness

I hate ragging on the UK so much, but when I see things like this it’s hard not to. We can all agree that heart disease is a big problem, but be truthful, do any of you actually think that governmentsspending piles of money on new salt shakers that only have 5 holes instead of …

If We Did This To The Brains Of The Bureaucrats I Bet We’d Find The Same Result, Too Small

Sweet Christ this is stupid. Tim Down sells fruit in a market. Recently he was subject to an inspection to make sure that everything was ok. It turned out that about 5000 of the kiwi fruits he was planning to sell didn’t meet European Union saleability standards. You might be thinking to yourself “good, I’m …

Everybody Out Of The Pool

Here comes today’s damn near daily dose of UK retardedness. The Portsmouth city Council has come to the decision that, due to health and safety concerns,Kiddie pools now need lifeguards and insurance. Perhaps this shouldn’t be that much of a surprise considering this is also the same city that has asked people to obtain permits …

The War On Laughter?

Since when has it become unacceptable to laugh? First we have Chris Cocker, who laughed so hard at a television comedy that he fell off his sofa and disturbed neighbours who called police. Then, because for some reason the police officer wouldn’t leave, Cocker got charged with resisting arrest, got sprayed, and got halled into …
