Protracted time chatting with management and a short afternoon drive out

Soon the naughty apparatchiks will will have to think several times/ >
‘before writing their own script’
Others* will also become available presently !

Kid thought to be locked into ‘world of own’ at time
by continual texting and ‘I-Player’ headphones on.

Compare & Contrast people !

ref  A Select Committee vs Google:

Margaret Hodge makes her  blackguarding points again to wit:
‘Google is evil’
Fact:
As far as is known,  to date Google has not been found of unlawful activity.

View From The Chief Clerks High Desk:
You’re off target Kafka*-Marg.
The word (we assume* you strain for) is  ‘EVADE’:
ie  That’s the one to be used if somebody’s been naughty and fiddled the books.
AVOIDANCE is legal !
Mdm Hodge please stop gobshiteing and blackguarding and trying to railroad your ego through all in front of you in the name of ‘British Justice’.
If you and your ilk were to spend your time drafting ‘water-tight’ laws,
that is if you can write such and don’t just spend your life living off your gob,
then we might just get PARLIAMENTS WILL EXERCISED.
Further:
As is general with self opinionated loud mouths,
we do suspect you’ll have to refer such drafting to them’s that can  . . . ……
IF YOU CAN FIND THEM !
Their Lordships who did do such,  (ie  The boys who did the doing)
who you and the rest of your tribe did and are doing their best to destroy
and were and are being sent down from The Upper House,
are no doubt now torn between mirth and despair.
We close again referring you  (and the world at large yet again)
to  The Law Lord past  who pronounced on the subject
and whose ruling still stands:
Lord Denning.
(Much expounded previously in ODA)

Put Other:
We are supposed to
‘Live under The Law’
(ie  Statute and Common)
NOT
‘Under man’
(ie  Under arbitrary decision of random apparatchik’s whim)

Put Other:
Ms Hodge,  get your facts straight first before operating your gob.
Put Other:
Appealing to the proles emotions ‘doesn’t wash’ with those who have wider and deeper view.

Old :

A late PS  of  AM Monday  17-May-2013:
An Enquiry  (which really should have been put above to the original):
ref  ye *:  Kafka*-Marg and your faux gobbing:
Marge’ chuck,  just wot is your mens rea ?
Are you really truly ig’ of wot yer gobbin ?
(In which case just what are you doing what your doing at that level ?)
OR
Are you just trying to bluff and bullshit your way and agenda forward ?
( Like any other typical bluffing, blackguarding spiv politico )

mmmmmm  . . . ……  ?

Old :

————————————

ref  Plebgate:
London Metropolitan Plods Head Lad, Mr Hogan-Howe,  is on the carpet over the affair.
Looks like The Met is found out  being to asked to explain itself  –  yet AGAIN

NB
Any connection you might draw between the above and Item 2.1 above is purely coincidental !
No scribe further on this to be done as it’s still considered sub-jud’ by ODA.
(Unless it’s irresistible like this !)

To be writ on soon:
Oil firms found out – AGAIN
British Gas found-out – AGAIN

ref  2013  WEEK XVI:

(Ending, for this,  at    SUNDAY  21-04-13.)

ODA  Home Service Desk:

1:    Wot I Did On My 1/2 Holiday (yesterday):
Stayed in drinking tea and putting the world to rights with Management !

~ ~ ~

2:    The Look-Back:

2.1:    ref  UK Nursing:
Proposed that Trainee Nurses spend x12 months on wards as
‘Care Assistants’   (aka  ‘Nursing Proper’)
prior to any academic training.

View From The Bedpan:
Just wot will they think of next,  Matron ?
Old Aching :
Your Esteamed Ed.

~

.2.2:    ref  The Death of Mother Thatcher:
and the saturation coverage thereof by the UK mainstream media:
Ye Highest Level and Fully Detailed Analysis of Just Wot Happened:
Old lady who once held UK high political position dies.
Many texts of remembrance are sent (!)
UK media goes into feeding frenzy that never sees to end.
State type funeral held and the show comes off to ordered and good.
THAT’S IT !

~

.2.3:    ref  The US Boston Massachusetts bombing of last week:
A very nasty business.
Ye audit of those affected is rolling.
We wait a little before comment further other than to again
extend deepest sympathies to the directly affected,
and to just glance (for the mo’) back at the analytics of many of ‘9/11’.

~

.2.4:    ref  Wot might well become ‘Twittergate’ (!):
UK Kent Plods getting slated for their treatment of their teenage ‘Moderator’ now sacked almost as soon as hired when it was ‘discovered’* she had done ‘naughty tweets’.
( ! Shock Horror !  Pass the salts etc )
Her ‘Tweets’ of previous were not politically correct enough for ye constabulary so out she went.
Then:  The triumph of totalitarianism over free expression:
Now:  The bounce-back is happening and those with an eye on such things are beginning to take the events to bits, look at them, and do ye audit of balance.

View From The The Subs Desk:
The only^ Q is:
Was it a case of an easy way for an establishment closed-shop totalitarianism firm
excluding an outsider by using a ‘fuzzy’ handy tool that has been passed down to them
from
unknowing legislators* / their higher orders* / planted operators*
to add to their infinite repertoire of smoke and mirrors
or
They intend to continue down this road as a never ending drive -down of free expression and then onto free thought
?

^Well there’s several Q’s  (and that’s to keep it short & simple):
It would appear that the appointment was imposed and therefore became a situation for the
poor downtrodden, overworked, misunderstood etc apparatchiks of said esteamed constabulary to deal with.
ie  We’ll have to let her in ‘cos that’s what we’ve got to do for the latest tick-box,
Then did it become  ‘This is wot we’ll do when she’s in place’ ?
Put other:  We’ll deal with the imposed situation by:
a)  We’ll Stockholm her and bring her on side
or
b)  We’ll find some way of moving her out if it looks as though she’ll be a stroppy little prob
?

* Were the Parliamentary placers of the Kafkaesque manna from heaven
INCIDENTAL  OR  PLACED
?
(Well, were they Tony ?)

Dog-End News:
As/ last and previous:  North Korean sabre rattling continues.
The N. Korean regimes intentions are unknown but suspected by many to rest with just a sabre rattle.
The main media coverage has calmed a little.
So,
Is that the extremity of the bubble reached and it’ll all dissipate as/ previous events similar
or
Is it the lull before the storm ?

All advancing but I can’t quite see the Airport line being fully open for the pronounced 2016 date at this rate.

2:  Matters Minor:
From last,  a Mr Milliwatt (Mk II) has jacked and created a bi-election in a safe Labour seat somewhere North of Watford.
David, our glorious Haupt Fuhrer of present,
must be in something of a quandary as to how hard the seat will be contested for his now fraying organisation.
To leave it to the LibDems / not ?
That is a the q for Dave.

Mr Farage continues his progress.

1:    Wot I Did On My 1/2 Holiday (yesterday):
Nowt : Stayed @ Wom with Ye Lurgy !

2:  Matters Minor:
David, who does PM impressions,  has really got the message now !
Poor Dave,  he’s now finally moving so fast to take note of his party faithful,
or wot’s left of them before they all jack and cross the floor to  St Nige of UKIP,
that our Dave is making signs (just) of possibly doing the ‘Great Statesmanlike Things’ act,
(beyond the current catch-up crop of imitative measures taken to deter Johnny Foreigner from settling on our Septic Isle),
ie  He’s looking as though he might even implement that dreaded referendum thingy.
(You know the one;
‘Elect us again and we promise to do within 5 years of being re-elected wot we could do now’
thingy)

Ye Analysis Most Humble & Respectful:

Pt I:
EVEN HIS  BLINKERED, GROUP-PSYCHOTIC, BRAND-ZONKED MINIONS
ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THROUGH DAVE !
Put other;  even his bullshit isn’t now baffling wotever is left of the party faithful’s brains !

They really are starting to see through you Dave !

Pt II:
Q1:  Is this really the beginning of the end for The Spiv Dave ?
(+  The current staff of shape-shifting ancillaries ? )
Q2:  Will he go to the country or will he be pushed ?
Q3:  Just where is the elusive critical mass point where he disappears up his own emission point  ?

On the way back home,
to Sale Water Park to see how the new tramway works were progressing,
and for a wee in the bushes.
H&S:
Don’t go there at dusk without adult supervision or you’ll very soon have some very strange adult supervision !
Some very strange bods going into and coming out of the bushes !
Management laughed like xxxx when I hurriedly got back to the motor carriage !

To matters proper:
Tramway works coming along apace but do think the approach/departure inclines to the canal bridge are too severe.

which even we thought was in just too bad taste to publish on the day:
‘South Afrikan Drag Racing Season Suspended’
🙁    🙁    🙁
bad, Bad, BAD taste I hear you say,
HOWEVER it does illustrate the way the world is progressing:
NO HIDING PLACE FOR THE APPARATCHIKS ALSO !
It is certain now that justice will be served even in that theatre of dubious practice above
because of one of the modern IT sticks that have been brought forward to beat the proles with is now turning into as fine a two-edged sword of justice as has been brought forward for a long while.

.2:    Wot The Sunday Papers Said:
Many and Various as/ usual

Of note:

SICK BUSINESS

ref  Ye NHS:

The Sunday Independent carries copy of a ‘cracking’* piece by Paul Valley.
‘Comment’ section of paper : Page 1 of Section / Page 41 of total pages.
Highly commended.
Focus of Piece:  Ye NHS as she is and Stafford North Hospital in particular and its well known practices.
Mr Valley brings forward and gives light to the defence put forward by The Stafford Hospital Solicitor, Kate Levy, to her sacking
‘for covering-up report by Consultant of malpractice of Junior Doctor by persuading Consultant to alter original report on Junior’
Ms Levy sued for unfair dismissal in an employment tribunal on grounds that:
‘Her job was to act in best interest of her client, The Hospital Trust, and that she had done by suppressing evidence to prevent adverse publicity, which she said was her job’.
Levy won her case + £103K compo.

Four Views From The Crows Nest:
1:    Nice Business if you can get it.
2:    What a business.
3:    Where is law without morality ?
(Not forgetting in prime of the matter Levy wasn’t operating in a court situation as advocate for her NHS client)
4:    The above defence didn’t seem to work at Nuremberg in the late 1940’s.
MiOldvery pissed-off:
(Is there no end to these squalid people ?                                                                                        We just couldn’t be so even for £103K,  free beer for a year, double chips and a Lucky Bag)

*READ:
‘Cracking’ (ours)  =  here:     Fuckin Reet
+
Let’s hope Paul Valley’s piece cracks the wall of indifference of the NHS and the legal protection surrounding such as/ Levy’s conduct as described above.

OFF THE RAILS

ref  HS2:

Three Views From The Crows Nest:
1:    The proposed  High Speed Train 2 Project  from Town to the frozen desolate barren wilds North of Watford is fraught with difficulties of planning before it has even started.
This is well know and publicised and does not need further from us here other than to remind that estimates of start and completion vary wildly due to the uncertainty of the ‘legals’.
The extreme dates we have seen banded about of  2030 START and 2070 FINISH,                 with all the others in between as well,
puts up the ‘why bother’ frame in front of us at the very least if not same to many others !

2:    The Cross Rail Project running East<->West across London is well under-way and tunnelling is continuing apace –
@ an average of progress/ machine
(there are several working from end and intermediate headings along the path of the line)
of 25m / day’.
Source:  Many and various –
Few anomalies in published pace of works but above  25m/ day/ machine  appears to be a fair average gleaned to date.

3:    We’re not clever BUT:
If tunnelling were to be applied to all the HS2 Project things might well be simpler and finished in a fraction of the best overland projected time.

A Point:
They (The Great Them) have already designated a self-set president for long-bore tunnelling per se for the now published conventional mostly overland HS2 route scheme in that of the proposed   ~ x14klick / x9mile bore   (if they flick the crow straight)
from  Ringway (Manc) Airport  to  the cultural heart of our fair city  :  Ardwick-by-the-Cut.

So,  if tunnelling were to be adopted for the whole/ most of the projected scheme:                       As a Phase I, say:
The length of a new route from say Heathrow to even Brum is a good several times longer than the Cross Rail Project:
Call it x160 clicks long,  or 100 miles in proper money,  to allow for
a few twiddly bits and sidings and stock and estate service areas and by-pass tracks  etc.
The rate of above boring machines from say a doz heading shafts, machine strength of say 22 machines total/ tunnel
(the job would prob be at least x1 set of paired tunnels  –  One for each direction of traffic flow)
would have the thing completed for boring works underground in x291 days if all kicked-off together.
We know,  that’s the theory in a perfect world !
Well,  291 x 6 say,    =    1746 days    =    ~4 years 10 months    to allow for
cock-ups  +  unforseens  +  breakdowns proper  +  loss of power  +  strikes
+  shortages of materials and spares
+  proper tea breaks
+  a shortage of shortages (Ta Spike),
etc, etc, and another etc for bad luck !
+
NO SUNDAY WORKING IF WE GET OUR WAY !

AND DON’T FORGET YOU STILL HAVE TO FIT THE LINES OUT WITH TRACK AND SIGNALLING CONTROL AND STATIONS AND COSTA FUCKIN’ COFFEE    etc

So,  say above time x3  =  14.5 years before you can have the first puffa rolling all the way
BUT
It still knocks the above overland figures into a cocked hat and it doesn’t upset any but the most ardent Nimby out there !
AND
You could always use the dug spoil to preserve Norfolk etc and/or give Boris a nice new (bigger) airport in the sea !

Start tomorrow Pat,  and don ‘t forget yer shovel.

View From The Signal Box:
BUT
Will it upset the Government and wot it might have hidden underground and poss in the way of the best route ?
AND
Wot will the aliens say ?
AND WORSE OF ALL
The fuckin’ Yanks will jump in and say they’ve been at it for years !
(See You Tube + Project Camelot + Others of Ye Net and the snaps and flim posted of their boring machines ostensibly run by the military (?) out there)

So, who would attempt such a thing ?
Isombard,  where are you son ?!
Come back quick and sort it out will you,
AND
DON’T FORGET WIDE GAUGE WHEN YOU’RE AT IT !

ref  2013  WEEK V:

(Ending, for this,  at    SUNDAY  03-02-13.)

We are still  ‘with sickness’  as me granny used to say,
but have now returned today to a very limited extent enthral you with further asspects on the poo falling on us, der* untermensch
and,  notes on the squabbling factions of the players various who dribble it down
and,  of course,  their interconnectedness.
So,  for wot’s of worth we humbly submit shortened copy this week to attempt to get back to our full steam
(~2 knots when the currents with us).
To a summary of some of the scenes as we see them today:

(* Or should that be das ?   NTS: Must write to Henning Wehn on that one  . . . ……)

ODA  HOME SERVICE  DESK:

A very short observation of the state of the UK political world at the mo:
The Parliamentarian factions are now coalescing somewhat towards a united group lining up against the totalitarians of the ‘placed-men’ in areas various
[and not forgetting the placed ‘men-ettes’ (bless-’em) or we’ll be in deep trouble with der* UntergroppenUbberFiddelStrasseFuhrenGemeinschaft (GmbH)  for saying naughty ‘inappropriate’ words]
in their hiding places various  (included The House)
The main fashionable executive arm present (Mr Plod) of The Total’s are continuing to harry (God Bless you Sire etc) and prick at the Parli’s.
The Parli’s are saying bollocks to that and reducing Mr P’s beer-voucher supply
AND,
awarding themselves a few bob more just to rub it in.
The Placed within The House are mainly going along with that as a few bob in the hand is always worth more than a brotherly promise,
AND,
if UKIP get in there’s going to be all hell let loose anyway and it’ll be the devils own job to get yourself re-branded and placed again and  . . . ……
(contd page 95 – Ta again Eye)
Oh,
AND,
the boy David has got it into him to support the shirt-lifting faction,
AND,
The Shires aren’t having it
(‘Don’t know wot’s got into the lad,  I really don’t Gaylord’)
AND
All in All:
Good fun is to be had all round
(Including for plebs – no charge)

(* Or should that be dei ?   NTS: Must write to Henning Wehn on that one  . . . ……)

THE ISOLATED BEYOND THE CHANNEL:
Natives warming up to full revolting strength.
Looks like the EU’s going to get it Greek style whether they like it or not.
(Wonder if they’ve hidden Madame Guillotine well ?)

THE SANDY BIT CLOSEST:
Natives continue to be revolting.
Now extending themselves to Timbuktu
(Was it something someone said ?)
The Frogs have come out to play and get their knees brown
Oh such fun !

THE SANDY ROCKY BIT PAST THE RAJ  (Just beyond The Green Eyed Yellow Idol):
~2 Years to go before the final retreat is beat
~4 Years to go before T. A’liban gets ‘elected’ as Chief Raghead

Wot’s it all about Harry ?

CITY TIP:
Put yer brass in,  and keep it in,  United Bang Stick Makers    Ltd / plc / GmBh / Inc / etc.

COLONIALS WEST:
Ava Banana,  who has been placed back into office for another run
(it’s cheaper than changing the curtains again),
continues to make his promises usual from where he left off.
ie  Business as usual for them’s that runs him.

Summary & Conclusion:

So that’s the world as we find it current    :    More / less where we left it in late 2012.
(The nonsense IS ground on)

See ya’ll next week

( If we are spared )

H&S NOTICE STANDING (UNFORTUNATELY)

PM Saturday  26-January-2013:

ODA  UK Home Desk:

We find unfortunately that we have to return to publishing this page,  earlier than the planned mid month re-start,  for the below:

Of Point:

We AGAIN respectfully,  but with much regret,
remind you of the previous and find we have to re-publish a
STANDING NOTICE  of late last year:
Unfortunately:
The Standing*  Notes of Caution
that have been posted daily to The 2012 Daily Asspect Page
concerning the manning of UK Motorway and other Major Road Emergency Services
ref the fears arising from the then proposed reduction of such,  has as at yesterday,
been vindicated when the cuts were realised and the services put to a worsened state
in our little bit of Gods Heaven at the least:
Of point especial to us in Greater Mancunia  :  Ye M60 Motorway Area.

*ie  The Emergency  (*ISU + Other)  Cover Staff,
as at end of  Tuesday 13-02-13.  on the M60 area
were reduced in number by an additional x10 Working Bods
(‘Op’s on The Ground’)
making total reduction TO DATE of  ~ x56
from a previous standing strength of  ~ x220
( Other UK areas affected  similar unknown to date – ?????? )
*ie  The people who try to prevent you getting in it,
then do their best to stop it getting worse if you do,
then try to get you/ wot’s left of you out of it,
have been,  as/ ODA predictions of late last year,
SACKED IN THE NAME OF ‘EFFICIENCY’,
FURTHER  (thought still as/ previous estimates of  ~ x50 count)  BODS TO GO SHORTLY.
We close this with our  Prayer For The Day:
HOPEFULLY,  as/ the prayer of last year,  now the UK media main carriers are aware,
this might just get rectified and returned to full staffing and kit proper issue
BEFORE  people are killed on the roads as a consequence of the lack of those emergency services.

An illustration of the effects of the above is noted on the Wom Page
