Happy 2008

Good evening one and all. Here's wishing you all a Happy New Year, one filled with joy, laughter, prosperity and successes this 2008. I trust y'all had a good holiday? And for those who decided that earning more money rather than resting was more important, well... I hope you enjoyed the free roads (and the packed trains with happy shoppers).

So the year may not have started well... earthquakes, the usual pipeline fires in Lagos (don't those people ever learn? Yes they say poverty is a disease, but biko... if many of you keep getting killed (or should that be 'cooked' like flies while 'stealing' petroleum products (more to the point petrol or kerosene, which are highly flammable), then is it worth losing your own life over it? But typical Naija style... their belief is it will never happen to them, but the next man! I don't know what kind of mentality you call that, but I call it the 'state of the foolish mind'!), dense fog, strikes, house fires, limit on pay rises for public sector workers (with MPs of course wanting to 'award' themselves for the hard work they've performed... obviously they must have learnt from the Nigerian legislative bodies.... that bunch of illiterate, money grabbing, money hungry, good for nothing except inflate their own personal accounts with the nation's money, dimwits! and the mother of all cock ups - Apparently our dear police force have 'lost' the pass codes to the back entrances of their police stations. How did this happen? O well a certain contractor left them in the back seat of his car... it was stolen... the car was recovered a few miles away ... but get this, the document with the pass codes written out in 'plain English' with the names of the police stations (whose addresses you can easily get from royal mail.com) had 'walked'!! They say no high profile police stations were on the list... I say 'WHATEVER'!

So first it was the entire child benefit database (all 25 million), with the names, addresses, national insurance number and DOB of children with their folks account details (hmmm). The discs held the personal details of all families in the UK with a child under 16. Next it was DVLA records of learner drivers (thank goodness am not on that list)! That's your name, DOB and address... all a fraudster needs. Now the police incidence and goodness knows what else has been lost that's been covered up. I tire o! What's coming? Face Off.... for all I know there may be 2 boos walking around town... worse still maybe i get the 'ugly' face...!!! Who in this day and age carries discs around anyway? And what with all the technology we have... why couldn't it have been stored on a central database - in encrypted format and to access it.. enter a password. But then again knowing them, that password might be on the back page of some person or two or three's notebooks, which would be sitting on their desks!

Poor Britney. When did it become possible for a low life like rapper-by-force K Fed to be a better parent than her, let alone anyone? The man is a scrounger (low life, money sucking,money grabbing, white trailer trash!). I mean what type of man is he to seek alimony? Someone give me a spade to knock him out with! The rat makes my blood boil! As for that person that calls herself her mother! Hmmm!! That's all I say... in the Jerry Springer world of trailer folk, I shan't be surprised if iya Britney and K-Fed are erm.. shall we nicely use the word 'checking' each other ... hmmm!

On a lighter note, I promise to be more calm this year... good bye to road rage (wonder how long that will last?)

Well bed time calls...
