World of Urko: Richard Bacon - Richard Wilson
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2013/11/richard-bacon-richard-wilson.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. Richard Bacon - Richard Wilson. Hilariously today after a colleague colleague compared him to Alan Partridge, Bacon has now adopted a faux-posh luvvie accent to replace his usual mockney-made-good (he's from Mansfield*) as a response to interviewing Richard Wilson. Mansfield is considerably North of Watford, and even Watford Gap. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Im Sick of Perfectly Good English Words being red. We need an independent review.

World of Urko: MPs Pay - They still don't get it
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2013/12/mps-pay-they-still-dont-get-it.html
Thursday, December 12, 2013. MPs Pay - They still don't get it. In common, I imagine, with many people, my income both in real terms (adjusted for inflation) and in actual cash terms has fallen considerably in recent years. I am fortunate in that there were many areas I could (and have) cut back on so that I can keep my head above water. But Im not even whining about my circumstances - what about all the public and private sector workers whove had pay freezes for the last few years? Bloke in the north.

World of Urko: Lightbulb Moment
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2015/01/lightbulb-moment.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. I had one of those lightbulb moments at the gym this week. I was sexually abused by an old bloke when I was a kid. It only happened once - I knew it wasn't on and told him to pack it in before it went any further, and he did. I hardly ever think about it - but I am starting to wonder if the effects of it have been more significant than I realised. No idea what to do about it. Dunno if there is anything I can do.

World of Urko: Stolen Loyalty
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2014/08/stolen-loyalty.html
Wednesday, August 06, 2014. I used to have some Airmiles. Airmiles promised you could keep 'em "for ever". Then they went bust and became Avios. I had a few hundred Avios. I logged onto my account today to find they've been stolen. It seems that unless you earn more or spend some within a certain period, they just wipe out all you had. Is there actually no-one left you can trust? Not quite the same, but this bloke had his stolen and his loyalty rewarded in a similar manner -. Bloke in the north.

World of Urko: Co-op Meat Shortage alert
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2014/09/co-op-meat-shortage-alert.html
Monday, September 08, 2014. Co-op Meat Shortage alert. It looked like a great offer, and I've got so tired of ASDA's faulty self-service tills that I've switched my allegiance back to Co-op ( I left a full basket of shopping in ASDA awaiting the attention of the inept bloke who oversees it all when it once again started whining about stuff not being where it should be when it was). Unfortunately, the Co-op has a different issue - the offer looks good, but you can't buy any of it because there isn't any -.

World of Urko: Only in England
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2013/11/only-in-england.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Could the Police conclude that a bloke managed to put himself in a holdall and padlock it from the outside entirely alone, and expect the rest of us to believe it, rather than take the word of his family and the coroner that he must have had help. Quite Like Steve Milligan MP, the murderers went to great lengths to ridicule the victim by either highlighting or inventing private perversions which could be blamed, thus skewing any serious investigation. Byford - Not me guv.

World of Urko: Anchor Butter gets my award for rubbish rewards - and useless response!
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2014/09/anchor-butter-gets-my-award-for-rubbish.html
Wednesday, September 03, 2014. Anchor Butter gets my award for rubbish rewards - and useless response! I wrote to them to tell them what I thought -. I've stopped buying Anchor butter. The reward scheme is incredibly mean in my opinion. These things ought to be an incentive to buy the product. I have switched to Co-Op own brand.". And, to prove the contempt they have for us (customers), I got this reply -. Thanks so much for getting in touch with us. Your points won't expire in the meantime. Anchor Butte...

World of Urko: Muslim protesters in Whitehall
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2015/02/muslim-protesters-in-whitehall.html
Monday, February 09, 2015. Muslim protesters in Whitehall. And plenty of other news outlets, there was a protest by Muslims in Whitehall at the weekend. I can find no trace of any coverage of it in the BBC - why not? Labels: out of touch elite. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Muslim protesters in Whitehall. Bloke in the north.

World of Urko: Stuff the BBC
http://worldofurko.blogspot.com/2015/07/stuff-bbc.html
Friday, July 03, 2015. So, as I predicted, Vicky Pryce has been popping up with sickening regularity on the BBC. I am not sure why they have decided she should be singled out for post-clink rehabilitation. I bet there are plenty much more deserving cases they could be helping.
