Syria’s Assad is a murdering little cheap Oxford bastard

HOW NICE that the putative president of the Baathist Republic of Syria is killing people like there is no tomorrow, including women and children!

Well done! At least the Baathist Republics of Saddam Hussain and what’s his face – Assad of Syria – educated at Oxford University – are atheists. Women are considered assets in the Baathist States – g0 figure.

No  wonder Iran and Saudi Arabia dislike Iraq,and Syria. But can you all stop killing folk, you idiotic  twits? ♥

The goldfinches and the long tailed tits have arrived

WHAT BEAUTIFUL things they are, here on Mill Street – and it is sunflower seeds that are dragging them in. Not just the goldfinches and the long tailed tits, but the robins, the ground sparrows, the sparrows, the blue tits, the coal tits, the great tits, the chaffinches, and the rest… even the bigger birdies. ♦

It is only this kind of thing that will save us all

What’s this here then, spotted near Avebury on Google Earth?

CO-ORDINATES 51.25.57.50 N 1.50.50 W. It’s several 100 feet square…

 

Here’s a serendipitous picture of Parliament I found on my camera

I DON’T KNOW how this media stuff works. All I did was light a fag and take a picture of the Palace of Westminster. I understand you can smoke legally inside the Palace of Westminister, in prisons, but not in prisms, and in submarines…

Oxford Mail puts toilets on the map

THE OXFORD MAIL which I’ve started to read because I live here in the watery city, has been running some really great stuff about Oxford City Council. Forget Kate Middleton, she is a never was.

It is all about toilets. According to this report on the OxMail, people flock to have a wee in Oxford from around the world. John Tanner said: “It is an international toilet,” he added. “People come from all over the world to use the Gloucester Green toilets and I think they look a bit dreary.” We dunno if Kate Middleton used the bogs on Monday when she visited a school here in Ox, but, somehow, we doubt it.

This produced some lovely responses from locals, according to today’s OxMail (42 pence, well worth it). Oxford is going to spend millions on the bogs and no doubt people desperate for a wee will welcome the fact that the current bogs shut at 9PM, sharp. And stink. ♣
