Absolutely unforgivable ignorant post about the RNLI seen on Facebook


 
I have just read a disturbing and rather ignorant post with people saying they would not support the RNLI because they pick up immigrants from the sea.

Sorry all. It's not the RNLI's fault at all, and those comments are shameful. The RNLI is competely unfunded by the government, yet their volunteers go out in all weathers to rescue thick, implanted-teethed, tattooed, TikTok plonkers, brains enlarged by steroids, who think its alright to go off sailboarding in a force 7 gale off the coast of Scotland.
 
Have they ever been out in a RNLI lifeboat to rescue British plonkers such as above who are just braindead, thoughtless asshole themselves?
 
I have! And it's not a night out in the pub shouting obscenities at 22 spitters with ridiculous hair on a giant TV screen while you wear a gambling company-emblazoned team shirt, made by a half-blind child in Bangladesh for $4 that you paid £85 for!
 
Will you be sitting at home in Tenby, settling down to watch King Charles on TV prior to Christmas dinner with your family when the phone rings calling you out in the pouring rain to save some overweight, drunk jackass who has fallen into the sea while out walking his hangover and who now needs rescuing? I doubt it? 
 
That overweight, drunk jackass could be you! 
 
And if there was no RNLI, well, enjoy the rest of your life as shark food.
 
You detractors all seem to be totally unaware that the average RNLI rescuer is a baker, or hairdresser, or butcher, or care worker, all unpaid volunteers, called out from their work and giving up their own time to save these types of idiots' lives. The RNLI's charter is to save lives at sea, not to make a decision as to who they should or should not save.
 
I presume when you are 2 miles off the coast, pissed out of your minds on Prosecco and fighting for your lives after your motor boat sinks, you'll allow the RNLI to rescue you, because despite you being a totally thoughtless and selfish plonker, they will do!
 
However, that WOULD otherwise be a very good time for you to make your stance and not support the RNLI! Wouldn't it? 
 
Yes, why not insult the RNLI rescuers, tell them you aren't interested and then make your own way back to shore. The wind, rain, sea troughs and peaks and the two-mile swim back to shore shouldn't prove too difficult for you.
 
Bang out of order there posters!
 
(The salary received from the RNLI by the average volunteer is £0 pa - Mick Grinch of the train driver's union is on £84,000 a year and doesn't drive trains, check tickets, keep drunken louts away from single women on the last train from Halifax or clean the toilets in train stations)

The "Win a Million" free scratch card newspaper inserts

One of those three-panel "Win a Million" scratchcards fell out of my newspaper this morning. Not a major or in anyway newsworthy event in itself, but I must admit my surprise. I didn't think anyone bothered with them anymore, or, to be a little more technical, I didn't think anyone was taken in by them anymore. Firstly, it actually is printed on the bottom of each panel that "Every card has a set of 3 matching symbols, 2 matching symbols and no matching symbols". Right, so you are going to 'win', half-win and not win respectively. Then, while the prize list is somewhat impressive with 1x£1m, 1x£100k, 2x£20k, 3x£10k and other things like holidays, tablet PC's city breaks all the way down to 1000 "faux" fashion watches, 1000 salon  makeovers and 1000xVIP Thames cruises. Now should I be stupid enough to spend the £1.53 a minute for the 6 minute phone call to claim my prize (that's almost a tenner, for those of you without cal...

Chancellor's letter of apology to Bob Diamond of Barclays

Thanks to my contacts at the new News International business "Phonetaps'R'Us", I was exclusively sent a copy of a letter sent to the Chief Executive of Barclays Bank, Bob Diamond, from the Chancellor yesterday. "Dear Bob Trusting you and yours are well. Listen mate. Sorry the F inancially S tupid A sses wrote to your bank yesterday to demand £290million as a fine. It's nothing personal, and just because your bank head office people are a bunch of dishonest, thieving bastards, I thought there was no reason to carry on that way and fine you. I made this clear to the FSA yesterday as soon as I heard the news. I told them that the taxpayer would have been more than happy to bail you out. And also. Look mate. Sorry you've had to give up your bonus this year. It must have come as quite a shock, and was a wonderful thing for you to volunteer to do. I only hope you've put something by from the £17million you received last year. No doubt the bank pay...

"Q". My name is Bond. Oh. not THAT Q.

I was sent a story today by a friend who knows my feelings on the subject - that is, about one of the consummately greatest of all British activities, namely, queuing. It seems some Danish Professor or other has come up with the theory that those who queue the longest should actually be served the last. He claims it makes purchasing something altogether more efficient and smooth through the idea of 'contra-queuing' (whatever the devil that may mean). 'Serve the people at the back of the queue first', he says, with profound wisdom. Altogether very professorial, albeit demonstrating a somewhat keen lack of understanding of the purchasing psyche. The Nobel Prize-chasing Prof suggests that if, for example, a popular entertainment act was to announce a tour, with tickets going on sale at 11am one morning, using the theory of 'contra-queuing', no one will want to be first to buy said tickets. So no one will turn up 14 months in advance and venues will...
