So Farewell then………

Just a brief post about the demise of my alter ego ChelseaBoy. I thought it might be a good idea to spin off my sports stuff, especially around footie and golf to another blog but to be quite honest I don’t have the time to do it justice and every time I posted to it I felt guilty about not having time to post to this one.

So from now on this blog will include my sport related rants as well and ChelseaBoy is now sat firmly with other failed experiments, making friends with 8-Track tapes, the Squarial, Betamax videos, the Sinclair C5, Concordski, British Rail’s Tilting Trains and The Earth Centre in Doncaster (were they really serious about thinking people would want to see this?)


If you get the chance, have a look at Casino Avenue today from the link on the left. The cartoon Inspector Sands has posted had me laughing out loud in the office this morning. It sums up just what I think of the twats who spent the day protesting in London about the forthcoming ban on fox hunting, and the knobbers who decided to invade the floor of the Commons. I know the country dwellers think people don’t understand them but let’s face it in this high tech age we must be able to come up with more humane ways of controlling the fox population. Even shooting seems humane, although after the incident this week with the youngster in Devon it might be more dangerous for people than foxes. I’m a countryside dweller now and most of the people I know are either completely ambivalent about the alleged sport, or want it banned. Hardly anyone thinks it’s acceptable these days. Another point is that we live in a representational democracy and the MP’s who voted are the elected representatives of their constituencies and that’s the way it is. These knobbers are now talking about breaking the new law and hunting anyway because they’re “not hurting anyone else” to quote one of the protestors interviewed on the fabulous 5Live (a former Olympic Medallist whose name escapes me).

How interesting will that be to see how the police and courts deal with them? If they get off lightly or are ignored then think of the interesting other laws that people might ignore! Perhaps we can ignore speeding offences “where no-one else is hurt”, or allow public Cannabis consumption and dealing, after all they’re not hurting anyone else either, especially after having had a joint. After hours drinking is another good one, after all the only people being damaged or hurt are the drinkers.

I’m sure you lot can think of more laws that we could all start breaking on the basis of not hurting anyone else….cant you?
