There's no let up in the stupidity of organisations, and people who are in supposedly responsible positions, and the shit they come out with on a range of topics. Celebrities too are far from immune. Here are just a few, from the last week or so.
County Council Policy
Warwickshire Cunty Council has endorsed the banning of coffee from a mums' coffee morning. That's right, the mums are now banned from having a hot drink at the sessions in Stratford-upon-Avon, on health and safety grounds, and must now settle for a beaker of cold water. The council has defended the ban, saying it would "minimise the risk of scalding". The useless cunts would, if they had their way, probably ban us from driving a car to reduce the risk of crashing, and stop us eating to avoid the risk of obesity. Fucking ludicrous.
Care of the Elderly
The 'Commission on Dignity in Care for Older People' is a rather strange (and I suggest pompous-sounding) collective, but in theory I understand there may well be a need for some way of older people's views being projected, and for their needs to be properly considered. I think that the organisation should most definitely stick to doing things that are helpful, and not displaying twattish behaviour. The output from some-or-other spokesperson has been to suggest that "Nurses should be banned from calling elderly patients 'Dear' because it's patronising and ageist." Bollocks; fuck off and moan about living conditions, pension levels, transport, hospital parking, whatever . . . . . but do not waste time moaning about shit like this.
Prostitutes
Sarah Walker, of the English Collective of Prostitutes [what a wonderful phrase and association!] has recently said:
"Jobs in shops and pubs are increasingly scarce and low paid. Increasing numbers of medical students are turning to prostitution to pay rocketing tuition fees and living costs."
Thanks, Sarah, and I'm sure all the members of your collective are thankful that you put forward a glimpse of the blindingly obvious, in your 'professional' capacity. Got to keep the members happy, eh?
Job Title
I read a recent statement which was boring as fuck, but was signed off in a way that was of some amusement; the person's job title. It read: Head of Facilities Management & Engineering Administration Teams & Asset Management. Laugh-a-minute, that job, I'd say!
Tesco Ban
A Tesco store in Kettering has banned pupils from a local school from entering the premises, after numerous issues with bad behaviour and shoplifting. Signs state: "No children from Kettering Science Academy allowed in the store unless with an adult." I perhaps could have guessed that the school concentrates on being good (supposedly) at science, after looking at the quote from an upset mother, whose English is rather below par. "There are a minority of bad pupils but the majority are being victimised." Get yourself off to evening classes, luv; minority and majority are singular nouns, so use "is" and not "are".
Bee Gees
Robin Gibb has come out with a completely nobby statement suggesting his cancer is payback for fame. How stupid is that! "I sometimes wonder if the tragedies my family has suffered are a kind of karmic price for all the fame and fortune the Bee Gees have had." Was losing his marbles an associated affliction? I am wondering if my wind is associated with having not avoided the cracks in the pavement en route to the Co-op earlier today - or, is it from drinking a lot of gassy cider . . . . . hmmmm . . . . . maybe that's more likely than some weird shit about karma.
