June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments
A few weeks ago I was shopping in Tesco, outside were group of teenage boys talking, but the sounds coming from their lips were only barely understandable.

May 21st, 2008 · No Comments
French fishermen are blockading all major french ferry ports, ruining 1000’s of people’s bank holiday plans as part of a strategically timed appeal for state aid. The extra money they want is in order to cope with rising fuel prices.
