In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone the Mayor of London has laughed off criticism from Channel Four's Dispatches programme that he drinks whiskey at council meetings.
When questioned at the news conference, Livingstone said he drank alcohol to ease a bronchial condition if he has to speak during long meetings. ``I pick up that tumbler of whiskey and it goes away,'' he said.
Livingstone told reporters, ``I don't think I've ever reached Winston Churchill's levels, and as it didn't impair him in the destruction of the greatest evil facing humanity, it won't interfere with my continuing to lead Londoners to the sunny uplands of the future.'' Churchill, British prime minister during World War II, was a heavy drinker, according to his biographers.
Good man Ken....I only hope its Irish Whiskey!

Build the Flying Scotsman tv advert

Have you seen the "Build the Flying Scotsman" ad on tv. You can build your own model of the train from etched brass.
Sounds lovely? or maybe a bit boring?
Well you will liven up when you read that the weekly subscription jumps from under two euro to seven euro fifty a week after the first week but that is only the beginning of the surprises.
Reading the small print the series runs for 125 weeks or two and a half years at the end of which you will have forked out nearly €1,000 and spent god knows how long of your life and something which probably looks nothing like the shape or size you expected.
But the real kick in the teeth is that the engine and tracks are sold separately!
Take yourself down to the local toyshop and buy a nice Hornby set for yourself and save a bundle of money, time and trouble.
