Probably the best headline you’ll see today

Cheddar, cottage, and even the fabled wendslydale may seem a fairly innoucuous food group. But apparently in Dallas, Cheese is a real deadly problem

Last year in a post entitled Brown Underwear I voiced my misgivings about the ruling party being able to switch their leader without any kind of public mandate. The Labour party would have us believe that it doesn’t matter who the leader of the party is as we vote for the party and its policies and not for the party leader. Well if that’s the case, how is it that today Jacqui Smith today announced that Cannabis is to be re-classified to a class B drug. Sorry, but I seem to remember that when I voted the Labour party’s policy was to downgrade cannabis to a class C drug. The change of policy in itself has very little impact on me, but the fact remains, if the ruling party is able to change our Prime Minister without public vote, and that new party leader has the ability to come in and change party policy to suit his own views, then the party line that we vote for the party and its policies and not the leader no longer stands up. GRRRRRRRRR! GIVE ME MY VOTE!!!!!!!

I’m watching a program on TV about wine in Alsace. There’s some blokes recreating how they used to transport Alsation wine to Strasbourg by river on punts hundreds of years ago. Why is it whenever people recreate things from the olden days, be it civil wars, giant catapults or wine transportation, it always involves at least one man with a big beard?

The Gavel goat is still standing unharmed, although apparently the local council has got all cocky this year and is going to leave it out until the 14th of January, so there is still time. However, the goat has a blog, and it turns out that there is a second (younger, smaller sibling of the big goat) a few yards away from the main one and that one was successfully arsonized. Here’s a picture of the sorry looking remains:

Last night I went out with work for a Christmas party. After several hours of drinking, I was expecting to wake up with some kind of hangover this morning, but no. At first I was a little suspicious. Was the hideousness still in the post, waiting to rear it’s ugly head later on today? It’s now ten to five in the evening and I still feel fine. I can only guess that the turkey and cranberry cornish pasty I bought outside Liverpool Street Station at around midnight last night and ate on the train (well, half ate, half dropped on myself) on the way home must have been the magical miriacle hangover prevention which has eluded humankind for centuries!! All hail the turkey and cranberry cornish pasty.

You see it all the time on those groundbreaking documentaries. Special minature cameras that show you those moments in nature which have never before been captured on film. Well, now Waynesaggers.com can reveal a global exclusive of its own. A monumentous moment from the natural world which will leave you breathtaken and astounded. This piece of film may once and for all settle the nature vs. nurture argument which has troubled man for centuries. This photo shows the wondorous moments just seconds before…… the conception of the chav.

Well, it’s coming up to Christmas again and so returns Goat Watch to WayneSaggers.com. For those of you that don’t know what goat watch is, it is the monitoring of a webcam centered on a giant incarnation of a magical Sweedish Christmas goat, built from straw, located in the town of Gavle. Why would you want to watch video of a giant inanimate straw goat you may ask? Well it’s not the goat itself which is of interest, but what frequently happens to it. You see for some reason, people seem to want to destroy the goat, which has been errected every Christmas since 1966. Most often, someone manages to set the goat on fire, but it has also suffered several other fates including being ram-raided. Now this is one big-ass goat (13m high x 7m long, weighing 3 tonnes), so as you can imagine it creates quite a spectacle when destroyed. The goat has been mullered no less than 22 times in its history. However last year, the local council in Gavel coated the goat in a flame retardent chemical, and the goat managed to survive so I was quite disappointed. But the goat has been reconstructed for this Christmas, so the challange goes out again: GET THE GOAT!!!!!!
