Welcome, welcome, welcome to another ‘thoughts for the week’. I have finally watched that South Park episode (Harry and Meghan), and it’s seriously funny as fuck. If I can post it on MooseTube I will, and fuck the copyright rules. If people ask me to make it available on Moose Almighty, I will do, but PLEASE respect my privacy. MP’s to repay Driving Fines Four MPs are being asked to repay hundreds of pounds in driving fines which they claimed on expenses. In a statement, one of the MPs (Mr Afolami) said ‘It was completely inadvertent. All money repaid the moment that I knew about it.’ Inadvertent? – MY FUCKING ARSE! These morons really do think we are thick as shit. We are SO going to believe it was inadvertent – NOT! What’s really worrying is that they were only found out after an investigation by the Independent Newspaper. Who the fuck checks and approves these expenses? They don’t seem to be very good at their job! Fuckwits – the lot of them! I received a compliment on my driving. They said it was fine. That’s nice. Budget Through the Ages ‘The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance’. Quote by Cicero – 55 BC So, what have we learned in the last 2 Millennia? FUCK ALL! Weird Facts Harry Styles has four nipples. They stem from a common condition called polythelia. Australia is wider than the moon. The moon sits at 3400km in diameter, while Australia’s diameter from east to west is almost 4000km. Venus is the only planet to spin clockwise. It travels around the sun once every 225 Earth days, but it rotates clockwise once every 243 days. Walt Disney currently holds the most Academy Awards. Disney won 26 Oscars over the course of his career and was nominated a grand total of 59 times. The actors who voiced Mickey and Minnie mouse got married in real life. Russi Taylor (Minnie) and Wayne Allwine (Mickey) tied the knot in 1991. You can’t hum if you hold your nose. Hands up if you just tried it! See you next time when I may have some more thoughts of next week. I am, and will always be, Moose Almighty!
Thoughts for the Week – #002
Thoughts for the Week – #001
Russia assumes UN Security Council presidency Ok, this was a month ago, but for FUCK’s SAKE? What the actual fuck is going on in the World? To quote the BBC on 1 April 2023 (yes, April Fool’s Day), the last time Russia had the presidency, February 2022, it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It means the Security Council is being led by a country whose president is subject to an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes. (Source: BBC News) Confusion of the Week I read, with massive interest, that Busted are set to reform and tour again. This reminds me of their hit song ‘Year 3000’ and the lyrics ‘I’ve been to the year 3000. Not much has changed, but they live underwater.’ HELLO!! If we are living underwater, I would say a fucking lot has changed, wouldn’t you? But hey, that’s just my opinion. AND, ‘lived’ is in the past tense. Is that right because you have come back to the present so it’s your past, or is it wrong because it’s the future. AND, more importantly, why am I spending so much time working out the correct grammar of some old pop group? Anyway, I wish them all the success in the world, particularly above water. God Save The King! We have a new Monarch. Let’s hope ‘Charlie-Boy’ does a bit better than the last two King Charles’. How funny was it to see Harry (the Prince of Netflix) in the third row? He was SO not happy. You can just imagine the ‘spare part’ was straight on the phone to Meghan having a right old ginge (sorry, I meant winge). People seem surprised to hear that I am a Royalist, and I will give you a few reasons why: President Margaret Thatcher President Boris Johnson President Tony Blair Enough said! See you next time when I may have some more thoughts of next week. I am and will always be, Moose Almighty!
A Mixture of Stuff
You’re nothing but a ‘Smelly Turd Pirate’. I hurt my knee the other day, and you can see the damage from my x-ray. #hunglikeamoose I was born Male, I identify as Male, but according to Sainsbury’s Deluxe Sticky Toffee Pudding, I am actually a family of four.
The Green Thing
Checking out at the supermarket recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring in my own bags because plastic ones weren’t good for the environment. I apologised and explained that we didn’t have the green thing in our day. The cashier responded, “That it’s our problem today because your generation did not care enough to save our environment for the future generation!” She was right about 1 thing: we didn’t have the green thing in our day, so what did we have? After some reflection and soul-searching on our day, here’s what I remembered. Back then, we returned milk bottles, fizzy pop and beer bottles to the store and the store returned them to the manufacturer, where the bottles were washed sterilised and re-used, so the same bottles were being recycled. But we didn’t have the green thing! We walked upstairs because we didn’t have escalators and lifts in every store or office building. We walked to the shops and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we wanted to go two streets away. But we didn’t have the green thing in our day! Back then, we washed the baby’s nappies, we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried our clothes on a line, not on an energy-gobbling machine burning 240 volts – wind and solar power really did dry our clothes! But we didn’t have the green thing in our day! Kids got hand-me-downs from their brothers or sisters and not brand-new clothing every time. But we didn’t have the green thing in our day. Back then, we had 1 TV or radio in the house, not a TV in every room, and the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of Wales! In the kitchen, we blended or stirred by hand, we didn’t have electric machines doing everything for us. When we packed a parcel for posting, it was wrapped in old newspapers to protect them, not Styrofoam or bubble wrap. Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the grass, we used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working, so we didn’t need to go to the gym or health club to go on a treadmill run on electricity. But we didn’t have the green thing. Back then, we drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a plastic cup or bottle every time we needed a drink. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying new ones, and we replaced the blades of a razor instead of throwing them away when they went blunt. But we didn’t have the green thing back then. Back then, people took buses, and kids took their bikes to school or walked instead of Mum being a 24-hour taxi service. We had 1 electrical outlet in each room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances, and we didn’t need a computerised gadget to receive a signal beamed from a satellite 2,000 miles away in space to find the nearest pizza joint. But we didn’t have the green thing back then. One final point: In August 1967, the UK Electric Vehicle Association put out a press release stating that Britain had more battery-electric vehicles on its roads than the rest of the world combined. (Source: Wikipedia) Sadly, the current generation laments how wasteful we older folk were just because we didn’t do the green thing! Please forward this if you wish to teach another selfish old person a lesson in conservation from a smarty-pants, no it all, up their own arse, ignorant young person!

Government Theory
The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians passed on from generation to generation, says that; “When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount”. However, in government, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as: Buying a stronger whip. Changing riders. Appointing a committee to study the horse. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included. Reclassifying the dead horse as ‘living-impaired’. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase the speed. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse’s performance. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s performance. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses which don’t contribute as much to the ‘Gravy Train’! Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses. And of course, finally….. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position. If you don’t understand this theory, you haven’t lived long enough.
