Ode to a Wheelclamp

'I did not look, I did not care, I though I'd just park anywhere.
Surely you don't need such a large bay to park a wheelchair?
While you park your wheelchair here, how do you get around?Do you carry a spare chair?
Or do you walk around meaning your not really disabled?'

All frustrating thoughts as I angrily stomped forth looking for the hostage-taker who had shackled my vehicle. Ransom or extortion, you choose, but pay it I must..damn

Note to self: print copy of disabled sticker for vehicle - Disability 'Signally Challenged'

Meaning: I didn't see your bladdy sign!

Lead Free Milk!!

Berlin - German scientists have developed a pill that stops cattle breaking wind.Methane emissions from cattle are responsible for four percent of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and any reduction would be a major contribution to reducing global warming.

Scientists at the University of Hohenheim in Germany say they have now tested a pill which in combination with a special diet and strict feeding times should make cattle less harmful to the climate.

The pill, which is still being tested, breaks down the methane in the cows' stomachs, and also has health benefits for the cattle.

Winfried Drocher, head of the faculty for animal nutrition at the university, said: "It will make this energy available for the cows' metabolism.

The cattle can use the methane to produce glucose instead of just passing it out and it will enable them to produce more milk."The only problem at the moment is that the pill is about the size of a fist, which is hard to persuade the cows to swallow."It needs to be this big as it dissolves slowly, releasing active ingredients over several months.

Our aim is to increase the well-being of the cows and to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses," said Drocher.

BBC Children's Presenter Signs "I'm Fucking to See You"

BBC presenter Justin Fletcher who plays CBeebies character Mr Tumble has made a rather embarrassing error on the television program Something Special which has left parents across the UK outraged.
Fletcher attempted to sign "I'm happy to see you" to greet deaf viewers.

Unfortunately for the presenter the signs for 'happy' and 'fucking' are quite similar and he signed the wrong one in his greeting.

Jamie Miller from the Royal National Institute for the Deaf was watching the program with his 5-year-old daughter. "Katie, who is learning sign language, asked what the gesture meant. I didn't know what to tell her," he said.

Sperm Donor's Children Win Share in Estate
In a case that raises questions about the legal rights of thousands of sperm donors the NSW Supreme Court has ruled that Willem Wijma's sperm donor children had a claim to his estate and granted one of them administration of the estate.
Wijma, who died six years ago, left an estate of approximately $500,000. His children from his marriage claim that the sperm donor children ramsacked their house, stolen the will, and plucked a hair for DNA testing from their father in the morgue.
Wijma was asked by a woman to secretly donate sperm due to her husband's infertility. He never paid any support and the woman's husband believed the children were his. Their mother told them who their biological father was after her husband's death.

So here's the question, what are your views on the ethical and legal implications of sperm donation?..and does fellatio count??

Do you have to make sure she spits so that it does not come back to bite you in the ass years later?

Entire Fire Department Quits After Banning On-The-Job Drinking

Townspeople in Port Leamington, Newfoundland and Labrador are demanding the resignation of their mayor after he banned the fire department from being able to drink on the job. The 30-year-old practice has been banned for almost a year now.

“Not even in my worst dreams could I imagine this. It’s been a rough two months,” said Mayor Robert Elliot. “We had motorcades go through town here in protest. I've had them in front of my door here for over 20 minutes, the horns blowing,” he added.

They've also barricaded him into his office. Elliot says there were instances of firefighters going on calls drunk, but opponents say it's overblown, saying there are always enough of them that aren't. He's given in and now allows it 3 days a week.

Semen: Nature's Anti-Depressant

According to one researcher, semen has anti-depressant properties. "Semen appears to act as an antidepressant in women," said psychologist Gordon Gallup, PhD. "In our studies, women who have unprotected sex have lower levels of depression."
The doctor added that there was no difference in depression scores between women having heterosexual sex with condoms, lesbian sex, or not having sex at all.
"Women [who have sex] without condoms are also more likely to fall victim to the rebound effect following the breakup of their relationship," said Gallup, suggesting that there is a withdrawal effect when semen exposure stops.
