Ok, so in the UK, kids are to be left in trees, but it is also perfectly ok to terrorize them in the name of a twisted science lesson. I don’t even get what they were trying to teach. All the kids were told one morning that there was a gun in the school. Then …

More UK Officials Who Are Out Of Their Trees
So, in the same country where kids can run away without being chased down, if a kid goes up a tree, they are left there until they climb down. Staff don’t talk to them for fear that if they distract the kid, he will fall. When Kim Barrett, a passer-by, decides that a little boy …

Good 8:48 AM But Only In My Time Zone, Everybody!
Here’s a bit of anarticleabout the Warwickshire police department’s Policing Our Communities handbook, which contains a section on communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds. I’m going to present it as written, because everything I could possibly have to say about it has been said elsewhere in the UK tag. It states: ‘Don’t assume those …

She Got The Shaft Alright
Here comes more UK ridiculousness. A group of Scottish firefighters were sent to the aid of Alison Hume, a woman who fell down a mine shaft. They had all the equipment they needed to pull her out, but a safety memmo said they could only use it to save their own men. So, she waited …
Heart: The Organ Used To Pump Blood.
Welcome to the UK, where everything fun is being sucked out of kids’ childhoods in the name of safety and political correctness. This time, it’s Valentine’s Day. I shouldn’t say it’s happening all over the UK…yet, but Ashcombe Primary School in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, has banned Valentine’s Day Cards, and Peter Turner, the head teacher, says …
Mr. Safety’s Pint Glass
My first reaction to this story was “Oh no, here goes the UK again.” Then I softened a bit, and then one line stood out for me. So the story is that the UK has developed a safer beer glass. Safer? Well, more shatter-proof. Ok, I can deal with that. People like to smash beer …
British Airways: Dead Bodies Are Nicer Seat-Mates Than Live Men
So let me get this straight. According to British Airways, it’s ok to seat a corpse beside someone, but god forbid we put a child next to a male stranger! Mirko Fischer and his wife, who was six months pregnant, were flying. His wife sat in the window seat because she thought she’d have more …

Thank Goodness For Chef Boyardee
What a strange sermon to give, but apparently Anglican Reverend Tim Jones gave it. Essentially he said that all the poor people should not burglarize homes or mug people or turn to prostitution to fill their bellies this Christmas. No, there is a better way. shoplift cans of Ravioli from big chain stores. Are there …
The Councilors Are Full Of Air, Just Like Balloons
Here we go again with the UK. I was going to say that it didn’t take me long to find some UK silliness this year, but this is a story from November. I’m just seeing it now. A business somewhere in the UK, wherever Solihull is, decided to tie balloons outside their store to draw …

Christmas Cone Update
Well, it looks like the Christmas cone of Poole has been replaced with a real tree. Yea! I think it’s hilarious that the cone was put in because the tree could fall on someone, or teenagers could steal its decorations or otherwise vandalize it. What was the big reason for the cone going away, besides …
