A fraction of a half life, some housework and some home truths

I’d never actually seen this clip before. When it happened I was listening to the show on the radio. This is not a great example of Carter USM, they were made to lipsync to a backing track, were lost on the audience and were faded down early. But it does have Fruitbat’s flying tackle of Philip Schofield at the end, which almost makes up for it.

After The Watershed (Early Learning The Hard Way)

Exhibit F, the reporters said
loved you to death after the watershed
Between the Open University and closedown
you were dead

He’s warmed your cockles with his magic tricks
glasses, bottles, bottles, filter tips
John Player Special
Number 666

Exhibit G from the family firm
his bride to be taking twisted turns
To give you French kisses
and Chinese burns

You see, she’d had a skinful and she couldn’t stop
like a pitbull in a china shop
And all the King’s social workers, the ghurkas and the cops
somehow
couldn’t love you back to life again now

A black eye for a black eye
a chipped tooth for a chipped tooth
a fraction of a half life
some housework and some home truths
And nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth

And it’s goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting
and David Icke says he’d like to show us how
to love you back to life again now

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting… waiting… waiting…

AND DAVID ICKE SAYS!

goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We’ve baked a cake and your friends are waiting
and David Icke says
Goodbye, you silly cow
Come home
come home
come home
come home

A black eye for a black eye
a chipped tooth for a chipped tooth
a fraction of a half life
some housework and some home truths
And nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth
Nothing but the home truth


The Maggie Thatcher death anthem

The idea is to get enough people to buy the Maggie Thatcher death anthem the week she dies that it goes to number one and charts a single finger salute to the rusting lady. The problem is, it’s a bloody awful song, I couldn’t even watch the videos for it and “The Lady’s Not For Burning” all the way through.

I recommend Hefner’s The Day That Thatcher Dies instead-


Sweet baby Allah! It’s Blasphemy Day

International Blasphemy Day is not just a day. It is a movement to dismantle the wall which exists between religion and criticism.

The primary focus of the Blasphemy Day movement and indeed this website is not to debate the existence of any gods or deities (there is an abundance of fantastic websites which deal explicitly with that argument all over the internet, check the Web Links section).

The objective of International Blasphemy Day is to open up all religious beliefs to the same level of free inquiry, discussion and criticism to which all other areas of academic interest are subjected.

Why September 30? The last day in September is the anniversary of the original publication of Danish cartoons in 2005 depicting the prophet Muhammad’s face. Any visual depiction of Muhammad is considered a grave offence under Islamic law.

The fury which arose within the Islamic community following this publication led to massive riots, attacks on foreign embassies and deaths.

The newspapers which chose to publish these cartoons were in many cases blamed for the outpouring of violence which followed. This unfortunate yet inevitable sequence of events clearly demonstrated a dangerous misconception that had piggy-backed into the 21st century on the shoulders of ignorance, fear and apathy, that all religious beliefs and ideas deserve respect and are beyond criticism or satire.

International Blasphemy Day is a movement, not just a day, to remind the world that religion should never again be beyond open and honest discussion or reproach. Our future depends on it.


The Caution Cube

You can buy it, and various other mad devices, from the Oskar’s Puzzles shop at Shapeways.

I’ve been making a start in producing things for Shapeways to print in 3d. At the moment my shop is filling with street furniture for model railways. But I think I need to start learning how to use CAD if I’m ever to produce anything as complex as the Caution Cube.


“Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table.”

At last an American politician comes out and treats an anti-“Obamacare” shouter with the respect they deserve. In fact- given that Barney Frank is Jewish and she was holding up a caricature of Obama as Hitler and saying that efforts to make the US healthcare system fairer are akin to Nazism- I’d say he treated her with several orders more respect than she deserved.

Update Further evidence of just how stupid, if not downright evil, these people are. Here’s an Israeli being interviewed about the Israeli health care system. Listen for the shout from stage left about half way through, the moronic justifications of the woman who makes it and her debating techniques when confronted- which five year olds would be embarassed by.
