How many days 'till Christmas?

Our local rag has an advert for Christmas parties. You need to book now. Come on guys.. Christmas is fine, but only at Christmas time. Do we need to book 7 months in advance?
We need a new law in this country: No mention about Christmas until December.
My favourite day of the year is Christmas day. Why? Because it's the only day of the year that my family don't talk about Christmas. By the way it's 217 days to go.
BAH HUMBUG!

Man Utd - AGAIN

So the scum have won the league again. The premiership is getting very boring and predictable. Pick one from Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Probably in that order. These clubs will be the top 4 for the next 10 years, unless some billionaire comes in to buy Tottenham, Wigan, Aldershot, Tranmere or Scunthorpe. The money should be spread around on a much more fairer basis. These 4 get stinking rich, and other clubs go to the wall, with huge points deductions. look at poor old Leeds, Bournemouth and Luton.
It might help if the people of Luton went to support their local team, rather than watching Man Utd on the TV.
Lets hope the scum don't have it all their own way - Come on Barca!

Expenses

The Mp's expenses saga rolls on and on. It's a disgrace that they have been paid for things like cleaning the swimming pool, plasma TV's and clearing out their moat(?!). But surely the system is at fault here? If you are allowed to claim for these things, then why not?
Probably the best bet is to scrap the second home allowance, and make them sleep in a broom cupboard in the houses of parliament. Sounds too mean eh? Well, ok, we'll give them one of the crisp/sweet machines that you find in Traveloges, cant have the poor buggers starving can we?

How many Ford mechanics does it take to change a lightbulb?

I have had to change both headlight bulbs on my Ford Focus recently, and it is almost impossible. The nearside has the battery in the way, and you need tiny hands just to be able to reach the light bulb holder. The Fiesta is even worse, you have to remove the radiator grille. I have heard that the KA is worse still. It's not just Fords, it appears that most modern cars have the same problem. It looks like it is done so that you have to pay them to do it for you. This is should be the simplest of tasks that the motorist can do, yet it's another rip off!

New and improved

I have a leaflet from the RAC explaining about their new and improved insurance. I don't want to be pedantic but, if something is new then nothing came before it so it cant be improved. Just thought you should know.
