People make me wonder!

 Three times in the last few days I've seen people who are old enough to know better walk out in front of traffic without looking (crossing the road) And we're talking busy roads here, not quiet little streets.
 Worse, much much worse, was the man I watched running up the middle of a street in an estate, not a busy road I'll admit, but it is a bus route.  Not only was he jogging at night up the middle of the road, his young son aged about 6 was running alongside him on the pavement, that was fine.... Except the man was shouting at the child to come and run in the road with him.
 How monumentally stupid is that! Why would any caring parent teach his young son to run in the bloody road in the dark.  I can only assume the father is either a total moron, or he's got the child well insured and is trying to get him killed. Either way social services should find this idiot before he does get his child killed!
 Honestly people around here make me wonder if I've stumbled into some sort of barmy parallel universe where people are born without a brain.

Bone Tomahawk 2015 (film review)

 "Four men set out in the Wild West to rescue a group of captives from cannibalistic cave dwellers." IMDb

 Staring Kurt Russell and Patrick Wilson (among others) the film is set during the "wild west" days. 
 This is a western with a difference, while it has cowboys and Indians it's not the usual sort of Indians, this is a small tribe of sort of cannibal Indians.  The plot revolves around the small group of Indians capturing the wife of one of the townsfolk and the subsequent chase and attempted rescue (don't want to give too much away)
Now I'm not really a fan of westerns, but I found this surprisingly watchable, it's different enough not to be boring.

Waynes rating 7/10 worth a watch

The Apprentice (episode 8 spoiler)

 Well the numbers are coming down, last night (episode 8) David was fired, and to be honest I don't think it was his fault the team lost the task.
 David cost the loosing team £175 by not doing a good job of putting photos onto tee shirts, now I can't remember what David does for a living normally but I'm pretty sure putting pictures on tee shirts isn't part of, and to be fair he got 8/10 right. 
 Neither team did a good job, both were pretty hopeless at organising a childs party, something us parents have done loads of times.
 By this point in the Apprentice series I usually have one or two possible winners picked out, this series has me stumped, to be honest theres none I think has what it takes, theres certainly a few that are a dead loss and shouldn't have lasted this long still there.
 Time will tell.  Good luck with this lot Lord Sugar.

David who went home this week (week 8)

Bath sheets and flannels.. What happened to them?

Bath sheets and flannels..  What happened to them?  Seriously though, I can remember the old big towels, now called bath sheets.  They were big enough to change behind on the beach, thick and warm, now they are as small as the old hand towel and so thin they are nearly "see through", it's pathetic, why can't we make anything properly any more.
 Face flannels, my God what happened to these?  
 Now I know I wash more than I did when I was a child, but I'm sure I was a lot dirtier then too, so why did the old flannels last years and the new ones about 3 months. Honestly they literally fall to bits in a few months, you'd swear I was washing in sulfuric acid or something, not shower gel or soap.

My great idea to put lots of armed police on the streets, at no cost...

 Yes one of my finest ideas, if I say so myself (and I just did)  You see we have lots of SAS trained armed police doing... well bugger all most of the time to be honest.
 Take all the highly trained and expensive armed police from the royalty and diplomatic protection squads and put them on the streets.
 It will work. Ok HRH would have to hire personal protection officers, but she's already got soldiers guarding the palace itself, and lets be honest she's not popping down the shops every five minutes, does she really need dozens of armed police hanging about in case she needs a mars bar or a tin of cat food.  No she bloody doesn't, we need them on the streets to keep US safe, my car isn't armoured to withstand 7.62 bullets, like hers is, shes safe enough.
The same with all those diplomatic protection officers who guard the embassies (most of who are our enemies anyway) and our cabinet ministers.  You see that's why our dopey politicians think we've got enough police, everywhere they go theres dozens guarding them, theres bugger all guarding us.
  In all seriousness I've not seen a proper policeman (or women) in weeks, yes I see PCSO's but they are not police, and I've never seen armed officers in my town, yes I know we have ARV's (armed response vehicles) in the general area, but armed cops walking about, no chance, yet every official building in London will have a couple, same with stations and airports.  Errr guys... theres people outside of London... and we vote too!

It's that time of year again.

 Yes it's the time of year where all the shops think it's Christmas (3rd week of November) so they are all banging out that bloody awful Christmas music in the stupid assumption that we'll all suddenly spend £30 million on crimbo presents instead of buying the tin of cat food and loaf of bread we went in for.
 Why they do it baffles me, frankly it just pisses people off, it certainly doesn't make me think of spending more money.  It's just makes me want to leave the shop quicker before I hear "rocking around the Christmas tree" for the twenty seventh fucking time.
 I mean it wouldn't be quite so bad if they had different music, but you can go into almost any shop and they'll have the same bloody CD going.  Drives me barmy!

Alien Orbs..... or me playing with twirling lights...

 Yes ok, it's not really aliens, oh they are here, you only have to go to Tesco's in Port Talbot to see them.  They look like normal-ish people, but watch them or talk to them and you'll see how errrr... alien they are.
 Anyway back to the twirling lights.  Could be better but it was blowing a bloody gales and freezing when I did them, so we only did a few just to try out the idea and see how the exposure looked.
 The wet sand worked better than the dried out sand.
