Troughing it up large at the UN

Having 400 "Experts" attend a conference to decide on what cultural traditions are important is a Total F@#king disgrace. Unless I am mistaken, member states contribute cash to this bunch of goons, which no doubt comes from tax. I would expect the Australian, and if they were wise NZ government to up stakes and abandon the UN, as this is irrefutable proof that it is a corrupt waste of money, time and space organisation.

Lets see, there is no more poverty in the world?, nope still plenty of that around. We have global peace?, nope still plenty of war torn countries and conflict. The threat of nuclear armament is no longer a specter haunting the world?, not while we stil have the Kim Jong-il's and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's of this world. So WTF are they f@#ing around wasting time and money on this sort of crap.

While the world is going through recession, these pigs at the UN are troughing up large at our expense. I have no doubt that these 400 freeloaders didn't travel economy, are not staying at a Hotel Formule 1, and are not thrashing out this crap over a quarter pounder at the local macca's.

This is like a world heritage listing but for cultural traditions. Since when do these come under threat.

Lets put the tango to the multi choice test.

The tango needs preserving because which of the following is most likely to happen.

a) All Latin Americans will be struck with amnesia over night and forget it completely

b) All of Latin America will wake up tomorrow and say "nah we are over this tango thing, lets do the Macarena instead".

c) The planet will be taken over by aliens, who will enslave us and ban the tango, instead making us watch endless reruns of Happy Days

d) Elvis will come out of hiding and record a blues album with Marily Manson

e) None of the above you UN flunkie morons.

So I say screw the A$%holes, the UN can go to hell.

The rorting continues

Those thieves at the Warrnambool Flying Horse BP are up to their old tricks. Well lets face it they continue to get away with highway robbery un challenged, why would they stop. Last night on my way to rugby practice I noticed they'd jacked the price of 91 up from 117.9c/L to 131.9c/L. As I continued through town, the Shell, Apco, and Caltex stations as well as the BP on the other side of town were still at 117.9.

As I drove through town this morning, the situation remained unchanged These greedy sods need to be brought down.

Orari Locals can't find their Muff

Apparently the locals of the small South Canterbury settlement of Orari are sick of losing their Muff .

Do nut buy petrol at Flying Horse BP

I urge any motorist heading through Warrnambool not to buy petrol from the BP at the Flying Horse. These greedy dirt bags jack their prices up mid week to suck in travellers coming from the east. By way of example at the start of the week commencing 05/07/09 all stations in Warrnambool including BP Flying Horse were selling 91 for between 126.5 and 126.9c/L. Later in the week prices eased to around 122.5c/L. What did these greedy pilferers do, jacked up to 132.9c/L

I took these photos of the BP Flying Horse and APCO Warrnambool this morning (apologies for the BP shot, its a little grainy). The Apco is in town, a further 3k (approx). DO NOT BE FOOLED, THESE GUYS ARE ROBBING MOTORISTS BLIND

Back in 2000 in the UK there was a transport strike which resulted in Petrol not being delivered to stations. This resulted in mass panic. One service station in Birmingham, where I was living at the time, sold the last of his petrol at 5 ponds per litre. His greed was rewarded with no patronage when normal service resumed, forcing him out of business. I would like to see the same happen to these gougers.

Spread the word.

Not another one

When will celebrities STFU. Keisha Castle-Hughes the latest to jump on the celebrity climate change bungle wagon. Keisha another waste of space actor. Again, I am sick of these flakes espousing a view on a complex scientific issue, they know nothing about. These guys totally piss me off.

Onwards and Upwards

After a heartbreaking 12 - 5 loss to Eltham last week, the Plovers are finally back at 'The Nest' for only the second time this season, and its a tough encounter with competition high flyers, Geelong.

If the weather remains fine, the ground will be in perfect nick for the encounter.

With two narrow losses, the focus this week has been on decision making, as the team has acknowledged that this, along with poor starts, has contributed to less than satisfactory results.

Being at home should mean that a fairly competitive field is available for selection, and the availability of a decent bench is probably a reasonable likelihood also.

Traveling has never been kind to the Plovers, with sparse numbers and often a mixed up look to the line up which takes the field. Last week being a classic example, with an incomplete backline and a paucity of loose forwards, many that did play, were in unaccustomed roles. The end result despite all other factors, was a credit to their tenacity. Even big Dom on the wing, played a significant role, getting on the end of the only scoring play.

The Plovers need to make the most of being at home. Hopefully the team can put in the performance that earns them the win they desperately desire.

Big Road Trip Saturday

It'll be a big journey for the Plovers this weekend as we head to Eltham. After a narrow loss to Melbouren Uni, the team needs to focus on the positives from the loss and carry them forward into this weekends encounter.

Hopefully a decent number will be available, although traveling and good numbers have never traditionally mixed for the Plovers. Often last season, trips to Bendigo had us barely able to field a full side.

Still its heads up, there is only one way to go from the foot of the ladder.
