'Experts' need to shut the f-up

Here's another 'expert' spreading confusion.
They need to self-isolate.  And not in a good way.
I suspect this old fool is
a) retired
and
b) looking for his day in the sun.

Mick Woollett, a true gent.

Mick, a proper gent – I’ll miss him Mick Woollett (easy to remember the name, double everything except ‘e’ and ‘w’) died on Monday.   He was my editor at Motor Cycle Weekly in the ‘seventies and early ‘eighties.   He was mature in every sense of the word, made editor in his early fifties and a proper gentleman, having to work with an office-full of (mostly) youngsters. He never lost his cool, was unfailingly courteous, never swore and was always perfectly mannered.   Extraordinary. I plan to get a lot more off my chest about Mick, but for the moment I’ll leave you with this, true, story from, about 1982. MCW had one mouthy sub, a Kiwi called Brendan who was always shouting off about everything.   He knew everything, was witty, but packed full of bluster and b**s**.   In the run-up to the Daytona Speed Week one year he’d been shouting the odds about how HE ought to join the team because of all his experience, skills and how he’d do a better j...

Standards Czar's bright idea - MPs must be honest! I say they should also show humility

Here's a bit of a joke, the Committee on Standfards in Public Life is asking the PM to get MPs to sign up to some simple ethical standards, like honesty and openness. See the patronising letter nbelow. But, criminally, the Committee Chairman, Lord Bew, doesn't mention that quality almost totally absent from public life - humility.  Let's have more oif it.  Compulsory! Foreword from the Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life Dear Prime Minister, The message of this report is very simple. Awareness and understanding of the Seven Principles of Public Life cannot be left to chance. We need to make sure that all of those in public life, whether employed, appointed or elected, are aware of their ethical responsibilities and are prepared to act as ethical leaders. The public expects nothing less. An important first step in building that ethical awareness and understanding is induction. For most of those in public life, receiving induction is a n...

Vada a bordo, cazzo!

Image
Francesco Schettino, the self-styled 'Captain of the Costa Concordia' who jumped ship, was ordered by back on board his stricken vessel  with the words - ' vada a bordo, cazzo! '. The coastguard official who gave that order - even if you don't understand Italian, you just know it IS an order - has been hailed a hero for his no nonsense approach.  That's in sharp contrast to the braggart captain who has caused 11 or so deaths and so much tragedy. So how does this, now famous, order translate? I'm told it goes somethimng like this, "Get back on board for f**k's sake".  Helpfully Google Translate gives us, "go on boardf, f**k!" The phrase has made it onto t-shirts - see graphic.  You can hear the radio exchange on  YouTube : As for me, I won't be buying their coffee ever again! Nb: The Captain's name is pronounced 'Skettino', not as you may have wished.
