Janice The Self-Harming Rabbit 2008-10-15 06:50:17 I really don’t mind animals.
Some of them are delicious.
However, it grates my cheese somewhat to hear news stories about Susie the Hampster feeling a little bit down because her owners have separated.
Or tales of cats who sit and stare listlessly at walls, sick and tired of the domestic bickering, nasty text-messages, and constant arrival of [...] Read more:Janice

Power-Hungry Hippos 2008-10-13 11:10:29 All police officers in England and Wales are being issued with Motivational Dolls.
Instead of gurgling or saying ‘Mama’, they come out with wince-inducing rhyming phrases such as:
‘An early arrest - you know it’s best’.
Or,
‘Performance perfection? Claim that detection!’
I’m going to stop right there because it is simply too embarrassing to continue Read more:Hungry
Philip and his Special Slippers 2008-10-10 10:35:44 The other day, PC Thorn was having one of his little episodes.
It’s been happening more and more recently, what with crunching credit, the disastrous closure of so many pubs, and motivational limericks provided by one of the Chiefs in his weekly email. Such things are enough to make a grown man break, not least PC Thorn.
I walked [...] Read more:Philip

Weapons of Mass Deconstruction 2008-10-08 03:17:33 Not so very long ago, when a group of eager archaeologists in faded jeans were digging up the remains of Graham the raptor’s skeleton at a ranch somewhere in Wyoming - his bony face upturned towards the sun, as if to say, “Hmm, did you hear that noise too?”; when ’Diversity’ was beginning to coagulate into a [...] Read more:Deconstruction

Racially Activated 2008-10-05 02:25:15 The word ‘racist’ isn’t really a word at all.
It’s a trigger mechanism.
A trip switch.
A flint spark.
An effectuation.
A stimulus.
A prod; a prompt; a push; a propulsion …
And, to be fairly caustic, a complete pain in the fucking neck.
It’s a hyperlink to policing paranoia and organisational obfuscation.
Consider these words from Page 60 of a certain publicat

Pressing Buttons 2008-09-28 08:58:21 There are times when you feel mentally and emotionally battered, as if two giants had put you in a frilly dress and used you as a shuttlecock for a while.
It’s been a very enjoyable month, for lots of special reasons, but two hours ago I had to say goodbye. And that is never a nice experience.
So, hello again.
Well, I’m not [...] Read more:Buttons

The Tale of the New Model Flag 2008-09-09 12:31:09 Dear Readers
Thankyou for your continued patronage to my blog, and for your comments. If you are new here, welcome. I’m off on leave now until the end of September, so I’m giving you this longer-than-usual post to keep you going. I have tried to sum up the rather naff state of England within the narrative - a modern-day parable if you like; an [...]
Policing “Extra” (2) 2008-09-06 04:43:38 Long, long ago, when the dinosaurs were busy playing Battle Tops - and Graham the raptor was getting slightly over-exuberant - the noise of a distant impact caught their attention.
‘Sounds ominous,’ remarked Jill, the diplodocus.
Sadly, they never got to finish their game, although Graham was halfway to a well-earned victory. Fortunately, though, their instant and [...] Read more:Extra
