Found maggots in the outside wheelie bin, hunners of them. Scooped them out on the ground, poured some boiling water (already have enough flies don't want these cuntos pupating) and I'm now watching the birds have an absolute royal rumble over the feast like some deranged Bill Odie. 

Magpies = hard as nails man, first in fighting each other and barely any other birds got a look in, might have been a different story if a couple of gulls turned up.

Reading more last night, and found a football related one. He was working at Brockville in November 1978, a match between Falkirk and Dunfermline. 

A Dunfermline fan was fighting with a Falkirk fan, but as the police approached they got away. Later on they spotted the Dunfermline fan fighting again. My old man chased him, upon which the police witnesses heard him shout "You shower of b*****ds, you'll never catch me". 

They caught him, arrested him for breach of the peace, and he said "I never done nothing" 

Googled the match and Falkirk won 4-1. Good result all round. 

Should offer it for sale on the Falkirk thread. They all say they’ve been supporting Falkirk since the ‘60’s or Brockville or some such,  probably find the perp there willing to buy it.

Put your wheelie bin out on July 4th.

The maggots will march away.

Punted out today thankfully as the missus was freaking out any time she opened it. Pity I didn't have any fishing planned soon.

Been to the beach the last couple of weekends. Loads of dead squat lobsters washed up week before last. Couple of dessicated catsharks this week. Not sure whether this is normal or some sort of omen. Going to another beach this weekend and i'm a bit scared.

I have to get my PSA level checked every 3 months to keep an eye on my prostate cancer. I was a bit late getting it done and got 2 reminder phone calls from the Cancer Centre*. Got my blood taken about 2 weeks ago, and phoned up to get the results. The receptionist went over a pile of things I didn't even know were getting checked but no PSA result. "Oh, we don't get that, you have to phone the hospital." Ballix (I didn't actually say that), I've never had to phone the hospital before.

However, the GP definitely didn't have them so phoned the hospital. ""Oh, no, nothing to do with us, if your GP surgery took the tests, they would get the results."

Back to the GP surgery, got the same lassie as I had spoken to earlier, I didn't recognise her voice, but fortunately I didn't criticise her (something along the lines of "silly woman didn't know what she was doing" was running through my head), and they definitely didn't have them so we decided the best course of action was to get another test done, last week.

Phoned yesterday to get the result and was told it had got lost in the system. 

Got an appointment slipped in at 14.10 yesterday afternoon, so third time lucky. 

*However, no more calls from the Cancer Centre, and I'm wondering whether they got the result of the first test, but leaving everyone else in the dark

Good luck, hope all goes well for you. I had an MRI scan on my leg yesterday (follow-up to the tumour removal op last year) so waiting for the result of that.

At the end of March I was issued with a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice - no, I didn't know what it meant either) - by Birmingham City Council for driving in a Low Emisson Zone without a license.

Only it wasn't me. Someone has cloned my plates (honest, guv), and after a bit of flaffing about I managed with the help of my stepdaughter to get off a rebuttal.

I was told to contact the police, which I did, and they weren't interested, either locally or in Birmingham.

I also contacted the DVA in Cardiff, who told me to put it in writing, which I eventually did.

This happened when my car was due its MoT which it failed, passing 10 days later.

The odometer readings showed I had driven only 40 miles between the two dates (home from the Test Centre and back up again), making it impossible for me to have been in Birmingham when the offence occurred.

The Council have rescinded the fine and I'm currently waiting on a reply from the DVA.

Never got in touch with the local press...

ANPR isn't infallible. My dad got a similar PCN for driving through Salisbury and he hadn't been near the place. The image showed the number plate was similar to his, but not the same. AN eyeball check was all that was needed there.

14 (Fourteen) bars of Alenka from Vladimir (not that one). Good lad.

Are they of steadily diminishing size, inside the next one up, until the last one is the size of a Smartie?
