Investor magazine journalists are so chav.

Bananas is not known for watching television, and when an email from a magazine investor used Corrie and somebody called Gail as an subject example i came to to the conclusion that this magazine and stuff are all chavs.

I have no idea who Gail is, and i think Corrie* is on chav and asbo channel (my blog) but it rather does note something about magazine writers.

The credit card which is a debit card 23% of the time

The monkey house has a credit card, it is paid off in full every month.  However recently we have seen an increasing number of cash fees.  Now we do not use it to get actual cash from a bank but use it for actual goods.  It is random and hard to predict.

Examples – Abe books [whom sell books] made our credit card a debit card most recently with foreign exchange costs, our ink supplier who was also a debt merchant soon went credit with no fees – its unpredictable .  That’s where i get a 23% figure from a year. Since i am unknowing did not know that the credit card turned into a debit card i am wonder if anybody else notices it.

regrading adsl, and its mixed benefits

mythThe fast broadband myth had to be tested.here at the monkey house.  A free regrade by our existing provider was offered -not fibre (my blog) although there where offers and so it would have cost.

However the information was a little scant and the ‘up to’ higher speeds featured prominently opposed to the real world.  Being assured that nothing would change config wise i decided to give it a go.

I did get to slash our costs by losing our unlimited download* for a monthly capacity on our rather slow connection.  The regrade happened within a day its results are not that impressive with the upload speed not really changing.

Download speed is double what it was but nowhere near the mythical up to speed and does not say much, and ping is down by a 33%.  So it has improved but the marketing of up to leaves a lot to be desired, and i can see why it is now ‘free’.  So i am glad i did not pimp this upgrade to the alpha ape and pay for such unimpressive results.

Fibre would have been nice, however it would require a new router, and probably not support ipv6** so again with the marketing speak of ‘maybe fast, or about the same’ we will hang on for that.

Overall the change was competently handled and i like our supplier who is not British Telecom.

Better marginally technical performance with less resending and queuing requests -  i suppose but nothing to brag about as i notice the usage of it made  has remained the same per month seemingly with less data..

* within reason ** we want both ipv4 and ipv6 – and that’s not yet available

Cardinal Keith O’Brien gaydate profile gets updated

fab!

fab! and fuckable

Cardinal Keith O’Brien has been mentioned before (my blog) and i read that the head of the catholic church is to leave the uk after his nd sexual experiments with other priests and acts of karnal love making came to light.   Party time !

So if you swing the same way as Keith maybe you to will enjoying sex with him rsn.

Its interesting to note that moving the problem priests (my blog) is still policy.

The despotic leader and the london school of economics

dearleaderEconomics is one of those subjects where extremes are brilliant – say a country with no frogs (my blog) is an interesting place to try policies out on. The Freidmans (my blog) of this world did that in south america and so i understand the reasons as to why the lse might be critical of somebody else borrowing there ‘karma’  being secretive to start with. Although with it awarding iffy qualifications to the sons of dictators its academic rigor is a moot point, although others do the same  (my blog) thing perhaps on orders of the foreign office.

With so many arrangements and management of facts perhaps the concept of knowing is a dangerous subject and one economics professionals wish to curtail.  After all if one can experiment and help starve to death a nation while students safety comes numero uno, perhaps we all should be shooting dead all economics degree holders for crimes against humanity after all with a successful economy in north korea there record speaks for itself .

The big fox and its problem for animal lovers.

Bananas was in the zoo when a large urban fox tried to pass unnoticed.  Its size gave it away.  One day the animal lovers or anti hunts people will face a problem when one of these eats a human.  There have already been babies attacked and have lost fingers and maulings to humans and attacks on farm livestock so I think the fox and these animal lovers will face a problem sooner rather than later.

It would nice to see a corporate manslaughter charge against the rspca (my blog) when a human death occurs.

Love or loathe her we all have to say she made an impact

The_Sun_(Gotcha)popeKeeping the madder Argentines or Friedman economics and haters of democracy at bay.  Margaret Thatcher had her faults but influence on the world stage is something nobody can deny.  One can speculate that while the catholic church and latest pope did nothing while people went skydiving without parachutes* in argentina that perhaps she had more moral high ground.

Stupid people doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

stupid

yes your daddy is a retard

Some years ago a man in desire of quick buck decided to question the value of human vaccination, so making money and headlines with accusations that vaccination creates risks of even worse stuff.  This one man [Andrew Wakefield] was then debunked called a fraudster and crank while measles and other known maladies returned to threaten the more stupid who still believe that vaccination was a risk.

With the return of measles to Wales all these stupid people have come seeking a cure that they all shunned and could have prevented.    Being stupid is priceless.

 

Paris Brown and her daily mail friends.

Been on the naughty step

Police commissioners (my blog) are a new role and while accountability is good thing rather than going to the usual suspects* that supposedly do that sort of thing these new bunch have been invisible in the public eye.

Paris Brown is the youth representative of the commissioners a job that still pays and the first to get some 4th estate column space for wrongdoings in social media in which she used her own name.  Moron – call me stupid but Ms Brown made this issue and when the porn empire of mr Desmond  calls her up on remarks in 140 characters its tears and tissue time nex to an responsible adult.

The adult commissioner who was a teacher also comes into the story for some reason and it appears that Ms Brown got a detention on the naughty step for thinking bad views seems a kind of duress by the establishment.   Quite what the fuss is about i dont know or care about either she was too un-homophobic** or pro drugs in such a matter that one assumes would offend the species of daily mail reader.  In short she is not one of them.

While the spotlight is good, it does raise questions about the calibre of humans in politics. Paris comes across as weak and perhaps not an ideal person to challenge the status quo. It appears that elected police commissioners (who?) are still not going to challenge anything like the previous thing.

* minorities (or known as the race relations industry) who made little difference over decades of being in a similair role   ** the views of the daily mail and its readers are not pro alternative lifestyle.
