Ladies and Gents, it has been a long time since I have written a blog entry, and in that time, mainly due to my Season Review, I have become an official blogger for the Liverpool Echo's LFC Banter blog site.  I have, as yet, not written my first one, but it is coming soon.  Rest assured that once yours truely here has gotten over some extreme, not to mention hideous and ironic, writers blog, I will post a linky to what I do eventually write.

 

Anyways, the purpose of this post is not to promote my writing (or rather, non-writing), but to have what could only be described as a slight rant about our inglorious and infamous Labour Government.

 

You see, despite people already struggling, despite companies struggling and despite the country is in the worse recession, well lets be honest, since the last Labour Government, they have managed to oversee yet another tax hike in fuel duty!  This is the third in nine (YES!  NINE) months!

 

As if fuel wasn't costly enough these, and this is being polite, idiots have chosen to allow it to rise even more.

 

Labour's incompetence never manages to astound me.  I am never surprised, and they are managing to surpass themselves with every waking moment.

 

Lets make no bones about it, I hate Labour, I hated them before they got into power, and the minute they got into power started to vindicate my viewpoint in leaps and bounds.  Firstly, selling off all our gold reserves and squandering a £60Billion surplus, and immediately decaying a very healthly economy, all inherited from the Conservative Government to make themselves look good.  Then, they started to tax and spend (this all being part of it), along with using the "Idiots Guide To Wrongly Getting Through A Recession And In The Process Bankrupt An Entire Country And Its Population For Dummies" book, it all just strengthens my viewpoint.

 

Also, lets not forget how they have constantly fed us absolute nonsense about the environment using information from Climate Scientists whom all get paid by, ahem, yes you guessed, governments (no conflict of interest, hey?), the 2nd house scandal etc etc and there lies and incompetence truely do show themselves.

 

I could go deeply into figures, but let me say this, if you dig beyond the populist bull we are usually fed, you will come across figures like human activity resulting in the grand total of 3.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and 0.6% of that being attributed to car usage.  Justification for stupid taxation?  Me thinks not!!!

 

I always try to put humour in my posts, but when it comes to this government, I am afraid my ability to use it gets completely lost!

 

I am thinking of starting one of those government petitions to get the fuel duty lowered, who would sign it?

Earlier on, during lunch time, I was trawling around the News BBC website when something in particular caught my eye. 

 

No, it wasn't another picture of Jessica Lucas or another stat/picture about/of the Bugatti Veyron, it was a news article about a planned building in Dubai.  Now that in itself is not remarkable, after all Dubai already has some quite remarkable buildings, what makes this planned building especially remarkable is that it will be a 80-storey tower that moves!  It's floors will revolve!

 

 

Apparently, it will never look the same twice, it will be the first rotating, moving and shape changing building!

 

A few thoughts, though.

 

One, when you come home from a night on the town, pi**ed as a fart, would it:

 

a - be a bit confusing as to whether the room was spinning or, indeed, actually rotating

 

OR

 

b - balance out the spinning feeling and make you feel better?

 

Two, why, oh why would the rooms only complete one rotation between 1 and 3 hours?  For the estimated cost of between $3.7m and $36m I want to feel some centrifugal force from the voice controlled rotation.  I wanna be able to say "I wanna feel sick" at which point it would start rotating so fast that I am forced onto the window and pressed right up, spread eagled, against it as the centrifugal force tries its damndest to send me through it!  Heck, Alton Towers would have nothing on that one!

 

At that price, it's the least one could expect!

 

Three, it would sort out any noisy neighbours, you would just order the apartment to rotate.  Blast!  That broom now has one less usage, oh well, maybe the saving of the broom could go towards buying one.... hmmmm

 

Four, it would help when the sun is shining on the lovely 50" 1080P HD LCD whilst playing Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 or Halo 3 on the XBox 360, or, indeed, Grand Theft Auto 4 on either.  Instead of stopping playing to get up to close the curtains, you could just order the apartment to rotate, just don't say "I wanna feel sick" otherwise you may find a 360/PS3 implanted in your skull LOL!

 

Five, that would make one cool alarm system!  Someone breaks in, the apartment opens all it's windows and then starts spinning very quickly causing the robber to get his/her just-desserts.
