It looks like, if I’m reading this right, Paul Clarke won’t be meeting up with Bubba. At least someone can tell me if I’m wrong by reading this little passage. Instead, he gave Clarke a 12-month sentence, suspended for one year, and put him under a one-night curfew from 8pm tonight until 7am tomorrow. So, …

O Christmas…Cone?
First we had Mr. Safety’s bowling alley, now we have Mr. Safety’s Christmas tree. This sounds depressing and kinda creepy. Because they were afraid that a real Christmas tree might blow over and fall on someone, or poke someone with needles, or have its decorations stolen, or all manner of other stupidity, they decided to …
Mr. Safety’s Bowling Alley
Paul and Storm wrote a song about this, but I never thought I’d see it come true. Well, if it’s going to come true anywhere, It would be in the UK. Now, the Health and Safety Executive determined that bowling alleys are dangerous! They have decided that John Q. Public must be protected from his …
Paul Clarke update
A while back, I posted about Paul Clarke getting arrested for gun possession when he turned the gun in. I still think that law is stupid, but apparently Mr. Clarke isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer either. I thought it was a little weird that when he called the police, all he said was …
Zero Tolerance, Zero Smarts
So here’s a little tip from me to you. If you’re in the UK, and you see a gun lying around, for god’s sake don’t take it into the police station to turn it in. You’ll immediately get arrested, charged with possession of a firearm and you could face five years in jail, minimum, just …
Things You Didn’t Know About The War
Hitler was a German football coach, Auschwitz was a World War II theme park and the Holocaust was a post-war celebration.All this according to a survey of UK school kids between the ages of 9 and 15 who also don’t seem to know when Remembrance Day is.

That’s Not Vandalism Officer, It’s A School Project
This is such a UK idea. Now kids, if you’re going to be running around spray painting everything,for the love of Pete at least let us teach you some proper technique! I’m really not sure I’m buying the official explanation for this, and I’m pretty sure anybody who is has never actually met a kid. …

Not Everything That Seems Creepy Is Always Bad, Or Why Animal Rights Activists Need To Shut Up And Go Away Sometimes
Is there a rule somewhere that says every animal rights activist who makes a statement that at least one other person is going to read/hear has to be a total moron? That’s the only way I can explain how anybody could possiblyhave a problem with British supermarkets using unsold expired meat to create electricity rather …
You Can’t Read This Post Without A Screen Ranger
I swear their has to be some kind of contest going on between UK town councils to see who can come up with the most ridiculous safety regulations. If I’m correct in that assumption then the Watford Borough Council has put together an entry that’s going to be pretty hard to top. Not saying it …

Up Next, Checking Moby-Richard Out Of Your Local Library
I swear I’m not making this up, but I would forgive you for getting the jokes and UK tags confused. If you regularly visit the Flintshire council cafeteria, you’ll be happy to know that you canonce again get Spotted Dick without having to call it Spotted Richard. The council had decided a couple of weeks …
