BIG FAT LIES



9 May

It’s already started folks … http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/generalelection/hours-after-the-election-the-dwp-says-it-is-looking-to-cut-a-disabled-access-to-work-scheme-10237191.html  There is no way the Tories didn’t know about this before the election campaign began. Both Cameron and IDS both said that they hadn’t made any plans where the welfare cuts would be made. Liars! Both of them! DWP wouldn’t have released that article without government go-ahead. They knew well ahead and refused to say so. Why? Simple, they might not have won if they had. It doesn’t bode well for the next five years folks, it really doesn’t.

Health scares come and go on a regular basis and the saturated fats one has been a long standing one. But is it really true? Thursday night on the Tonight show on ITV, claims were being made by some people that sat foods are actually not as bad first thought. Volunteers were put on a one week high fat diet and most of them managed to lose weight and reduce their cloistral levels. So what is the true on this? What I did notice as I sat watched the recording yesterday afternoon was the lack of use of one word; balance. I remember hearing it just once towards the end.

We all need some fat in our diet, just not in huge quantities. And that is where some people will latch on to the show and claim fat won’t hurt them. These folks aren’t twisting words to their own usage as such, but just hearing what they want to hear. There are others who just don’t understand what it is they are hearing.

An example of that is that 30-odd years ago I was in a pub called the Board, it’s not there now. Anyway, there was a guy in the bar going on about a telly show the night before in which prostitutes spoke about what their clients liked. One of them said that he liked her to wear ‘kid’ gloves, as his mother did when she was going out to concert and called into the see him before she went out. Back to the guy the pub now … what he was saying was that girl had said she had to wear kids’ gloves. A total lack of understanding what was said.

OK then, in view of the ‘fat’ issue then, I personally don’t like loads of fat anyway. If I do have a steak of a pork chop I never eat any of the visible fat. Same with cooked ham for a butty, I always cut out the fat from that too. So for today’s photo, here’s what I had for dinner one night ... 
 steak, baked tattie, fried egg and mushrooms … very nice too.

Today’s funny …

After an impromptu song, our pastor asked the church pianist, “What key did I sing that in?” The pianist replied, “Most of them.”
