Bullet and carrot | The Bill Sticker Alternative
https://billsticker.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/bullet-and-carrot
The Bill Sticker Alternative. May 20, 2015. I read this in The Register this morning. An ‘operation’ in Northumbria taking twenty Policemen, a helicopter and no doubt several marksmen to take down one cow. Not a Steer or Bull, but a. A milker at that. Now I appreciate that cattle can be a risk to traffic on the highway, but shooting the poor bloody animal? Which is the downside of the red bucket and its ilk. It’s not dramatic. Teams of dedicated anti-terrorist units do not have to be deploy...The Museum ...

Random Ramblings: July 2005
http://notesfromtyneside.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

But not any fine imposed by the Courts. I could lose my home ...

A collection of what passes for thoughts and comments on life, the Universe and everything that catches my attention. Wednesday, June 22. I had decided to ride the bike into work yesterday the promise of the weather forecast on Monday night had lulled me into the belief that it would be a nice day. I set the alarm and woke up extra early so that I could take the scenic route into work and enjoy myself a bit before I got there. As I drove along the sea front in the car, the sun was a brighter patch on the...
