Yaba-daba-dooo

A combination of, for once having the remnants of a social life and also some annoying back problems, meant that I missed much of ITV4’s early 1970’s TV offerings last week. I saw but one Monkey, no Planet of the Apes and no UFO, Champions etc.

The younger wife of one of my friends told me that “Monkey” scared her when she watched it (it must have been repeated some years later). She also seemed far from convinced that I new Tripitaka (Masako Natsume) was a girl when I confessed my interest in her at the time the show was on.

I see that the Conservative’s under their brilliant, inspiring, charismatic and “idea rich” new leader have come up with a mind blowing slogan. I goes something along the lines of “vote blue to be green”! and then they wonder why no one actually does vote for them.

Peugeot close down a British car factory with another 2000 jobs down the drain. Again it is far cheaper to sack people in the UK than any other European state, making British workers the first in line when it comes to multi-national and multi site based production redundancies. It could never happen in Spain, France or Germany where the government takes a “golden share” in all manufacturing industries to secure the job forces future. It seems we take all the crap from Europe, but none of the things that would actually benefit us. Thanks, Heath, Major and the Blair (witch).

Here is the babe for today.
