Did you know that eating a lot of bacon sarnies gives you cancer, according to US researchers. That is to say if you eat bacon FIVE TIMES a week you have a 59% increase in risk of bladder cancer. Iffy wouldn’t you say.? Not many people eat bacon five times a week, not even I do.! Once, maybe twice at the most but not five times.
Then again, if you eat a lot of ANYTHING then surely that isn’t good for you (a polonium isotope perhaps).? Why do people ever listen to these ridiculous results from scientists with clearly nothing better to do than make people worry and then ruin the pork industry with a very big scare story?. There is nothing wrong with eating anything that is edible but all things in moderation. Ironically we sell a deep fat fryer at work that has the slogan “chips with everything” slapped across it. Obviously it refers to microchips (it is an electronic fryer so actually uses less fat than other fryers for the same amount of food cooked – healthier, see). But if you actually do eat chips all the time and nothing else then sooner or later, in theory at least, you will become a bit of a fatster and endanger your health.
It is the same with bacon. This time it would appear the PIGS are running the asylum.!
Moving on…
Common sense seems to have prevailed and we are getting three new SSBN’s (nuclear missile submarines) to replace our ageing Trident carriers (losing one in the process). People keep saying “We don’t need an outmoded deterrent capability. There is no one to cause us THAT much arm. Errr yes there is. Russia (and a surprising number of it’s former states). For instance when the USSR broke up one state (Lithuania) gained a large number of Tu-160 Blackjack supersonic nuclear bombers. These monsters are the biggest and fastest production supersonic missile launch platforms in the world. Not even Bush and his States can compete with that. They also have plenty of the ex-Russian nuke weapons lying (literally in some places allegedly) in storage ready to blow as well as a fair number of the smaller but equally as deadly Tu-26m Backfire bombers too.!
Look at it this way… If they can get into this country and actually leave a smidge of a very toxic radioactive isotope in a damn sushi bar then it wouldn’t be that hard to low level fly a bomber through the baltic and loose off a couple of Kingfish air to surface missiles at London. Hmmmm, London, wouldn’t be THAT bad if they were on target I guess. But that is beside the point. As well as Russia we have China, the “new” Russia you could call it. Huge army, huge amount of planes, no matter how 1960’s they are, trouble with little pointy shoes on.
And to finish tonight, I thought I would post a few memories from when I was very young… I won’t mention too many names to protect the guilty, but I hope people like Gav, Jonny Boy and Jess will be slightly warmed by the imagination of the old days at Milton Infants School…
Firstly (and I am sorry bout this), the smiliest girl in the school (who won an award for it), leaving a HUGE turd in the loos in the first year (well big for a five year old lol). Gav and I creating a road across our classroom in class one during a thunderstorm. Gav and I getting a right bollocking for spending a maths lesson making a 16 foot long stacking block line across the entire of class three. The little wendy house outside that no one ever seemed to use. Mrs Leach and that damn bell, JB pissing up the tree in the lower playground. Gav, you and me playing “Doggies With A Thousand Food” (that might take some explaining). Lee setting off the fire alarm in the third year. Me pulling out someone’s chair making them cry as their butt bit the floor (sorry Rich).! Playing “you show me your’s and I’ll show you mine” with an un-named girl in the third year. Being May King and having to wear tights and a hat but getting to hold the hand of the May Queen (the hottest girl in the year), Lucy. Yum.!
Ok enough for now, next time the Juniors.!
Bacon… I MISS YOUR BACON!!!!
In the eating/sandwich sense… of course.
