French President Nicolas Sarkozy has decided enough is enough regarding Muslim women wearing the burqa in his country and is all set to ban it.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to read this and my only disappointment is that it isn't our British Government that have the balls to do this.

Putting it very simply first. If we wore T Shirts and Shorts in any Muslim country we would be put in prison. If they expect us to follow their dress codes then they must expect to...

This is Quite Amusing

For those of you that know me well, you will no doubt also find this amusing.

First of all let me explain that if someone requests a friendship link I never click to deny them. But, I don't always accept them.

I don't accept those that are simply trying to link to as many people as possible, that don't know me from Adam and don't even want to know me. If there is a hint that someone is simply making a collection of friends or are linking with people just to...

Curiosity Killed the Cat!!

Something I have been very curious about for a long time is this...........

I sometimes get as many as 70 visitors recorded on my profile in a day. Yet I get very few blog comments. Ok, one could say that perhaps my blog posts are boring and therefore no one is interested in commenting, but I don't believe this to be quite true in the case of every single person that visits my profile.

I get comments from those in the blog ring but very seldom from other Yuku members...

Let's Play Catch Up

I haven't had time to sit and write a blog for a few days. I've had plenty of thoughts of bits I could have written about but never did get around to sitting down and blogging them. Maybe that was for the best as this blog is getting decidedly grumpy. So much so that I thought about changing it's name to Grumpy Old Woman, lol.

But now while I sit here with my very late breakfast of marmite toast and a cup of tea, and before I go jump in the shower and start my day for real...

The Worst System on the Internet

03/03/09 13:44:05 | 2 Comments

I have just come across the absolute worst message board/profile/blog system ever.

The system is Multiply.

I thought I would take a toodle over to see what it is all about as I haven't long come across the name of Multiply. I first of all took a virtual tour, but we all know how these type of systems bum themselves up and once one has registered and had a play the reality of the system compared to the way it advertises it's self are usually totally...

Facebook & Me

Facebook and I just aren't getting along. I have spent the last 2 days wandering around trying to get the hang of things, yet again.

On my return after a long absence I found over a hundred applications waiting to be processed by me. After trying to sift through them all I decided the best thing to do was to click the ignore button on the daft, play type ones and just accept the ones such as people wanting to add my birthday to their calendar or add me as a best friend...

Do I Expect too Much of Others??

02/17/09 10:26:40 | 14 Comments

Sometimes I get a little, let's say frustrated, with some people's thoughtlessness, or shall we say selfcenteredness.

I have many visitors to my Profiles & Blogs Tips & Tricks board, which is great. There are also a heck of a lot of people now using some of my findings of gadgets widgets and ideas, which is brilliant. And many now are making full use of their profiles which is the whole idea of my board.

When I see a new face on the board I always go over to...

It's a Marshmallow World

02/02/09 04:05:46 | 5 Comments

Like the rest of the country here in the UK I woke up to a white world. Supposedly this is meant to be the harshest winter for 13 years.

Down in the South here, and in my particular area, there is barely enough snow to cover the ground yet this town and surrounding area has virtually come to a stand still. The schools are shut, and I would imagine that's simply because the oil deliveries can't get through. Monday is the school's delivery day.

Sarah's fella had...

Smoking = Child Abuse??

01/23/09 04:11:21 | 12 Comments

Today the big topic on the radio is whether here in Britain we should make it a criminal offence to smoke in front of Children.

Already smoking in front of a child can be used as an extra in evidence in a child abuse case as can piercing a child's ears, even though both are perfectly legal.

The experts want to push through a new law to make it a criminal offence to smoke in front of a child. The first couple of times caught being a heavy fine, the third being a short...

Prince Harry Racist??? I Think Not

01/19/09 04:30:09 | 3 Comments

Last week the media made a massive fuss over a home video taken three years ago of Prince Harry and his solider mates joshing around during a break in his army training. He was heard to refer to one of his mates as a Paki and to refer to the Taliban as Ragheads.

The press made a tremendous meal of this condemning the remarks as racist, and the Prince was forced to apologise in public and had a dressing down from his commander as well as the Queen having to get involved.
