Now a serious subject for a change: Conkers. I applaud the Institute of Safety & Health IOSH (of which I am a member) brilliant decision to sponsor this year’s World Conker Championship which will take place this weekend at Ashton in Northamptonshire.For too long the “health & Safety” lobby in this country has been on the defensive against wholly inaccurate and frankly dishonest myth making by much of the media - such as the “HSE bans conker playing in schools” etc. The usual suspects are at work e.g. Daily Hate, The Torygraph and the Daily Pornography).
This is also a key political issue where we have “clear blue water” between the Tories and Labour. John Redwood MP in the recent so-called "competitiveness report" announced that the Tories would get rid of the vitally important “Health & Safety at Work Act” and “The Working Time Regulations” if they won the next election.

Sorry Kat, being a bit thick? D.P?
(BTW - how is George?)
Jings! The Daily Porn. Quincy (aka George -is this a fixation?) is just dandy -waiting to get him chipped and his nadgers nipped.Don't like the ferrets though -or people.Sister calls him Devil cat.He's helping me type just now.kat
Hi Kat
The “Daily Express” of course! Desmond is still up to his “tricks”.
You must officially rename “Quincy” - “George” before he is chipped. After all George’s nadgers will be well and truly cut off after Jim sorts him out in Poplar and Limehouse. Can’t wait.
George - Devil Cat? Sister’s know best (so mine tell me).
Hope things are ok with your Mum?
