Recently on Countryfile a BBC programme a report about the new European Union (getting more like the Soviet Union every day)in which a discussion took place about a new law which comes into operation later this year.
This law is all about battery hens.
There will have to be new bigger/better gages in which to keep hens.
That's great. I'm all for improving the life of the hens.
However what really struck home to me was the comment from some of the egg producers that they were going to have to lobby the government to control the import of eggs from other European Countries.
Whilst our farmers are having to spend out large sums for new gages etc it appears that some other EU countries are likely to ignore the law and continue in the old way.
What is the point of bringing in new laws if the EU cannot or will not enforce them?
It is now such a corrupt organisation that I fear for the future.
Oops I shouldn't have posted that I'll probably be one of the first to have the EU secret police knocking on my door in the early morning.
Seriously though the organisation is getting out of control and somehow will have to be reigned in before it does unrepairable damage.
Enough of my rant.
Let's have a joke:- There are three kinds of lie, a small lie,a big lie and politics.

Being a true Brit
When it was Chris's birthday I bought him a card about being a true Brit.
We both thought it was very funny. Hope you do too.
Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of an ice skating rink.
and finally:-
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish Pub for a Belgian beer then on the way home grabbing an Indian curry or a Chinese takeaway, then sitting on your Swedish furniture watching American t.v show on a Japanese television.
What is so funny about it is that it is sooo true!
I think that this is a hang over from the Empire days when we got used to everything foreign.
Still at least we can laugh at ourselves!
Thought for today. Can you laugh at yourself?
Joke for today: Why was the Egyptian girl worried? Because her daddy was a mummy!
On this day 18th October
In 1989 San Francisco suffered an earthquake.
In 1922 The BBC was formed.
In 1931 Thomas Edison died

I nearly fell off my chair
Hi,
Last night I was watching a new (at least I think it is new--it was to me anyrate) programme on the BBC called Trackers.
Basically this is a programme where they trace people for you but they also have a financial expert who traces the people to whom amounts of money are owed.
Apparently there are billions of unclaimed money floating around in financial institutions.
At the end of this programme they had invited some people to a gathering in London where they disclosed to them money to which they were entitled.
These people didn't know why they had been asked to attend.
After disclosing some smaller amounts to some people they finished by calling three siblings together.
Imagine my surprise when I recognised them. In factI nearly fell off my chair.(Actually I was sitting on the settee but that doesn't sound so good---"I nearly fell off my settee!")
Anyrate I digress. These siblings are cousins of Sue (my better half) and it had been found that there long deceased parents Bill & Audrey who I had known had a savings plan set up for their children.
This plan had been fogotten about but the financial expert had found it and they now had a share of £25000.
Wow. Great for them. Must remember to give them a ring!! Only joking but I bet they find some "friends" they didn't know they had!!
Thought for today> Do you still keep in touch with you relations?
Joke for today:- Success is relative. The more success the more relatives!
On this day:-
In 30bc Mark Anthony committed suicide at the court of Cleopatra
In 1901 the vacuum cleaner was patented by a Scotsman Hubert Booth
In 1963 a direct telephone line between the Kremlin and the White House became operational
