Dog Owners Beware!!!

Everyone that has animals check the inside top of their mouths. 

The Asian beetles look like ladybirds. They get in their mouth and they stick themselves to the mouth. 

 Makes dog's mouth very sore.

iPhone Charger Warning!!!

Mum releases Pictures after averting a House Fire :

And this kids is why us parents tell you not to leave your phone/iPod charging underneath your pillow. Chloe ,Eve and Fergie you are al very lucky girls that this didn't end up serious or worse end up killing yourselves and the rest of your family in your stupidity. 

I have told you time and time again never to have your phone/iPod left charging under your pillow as the heat from the charge can't escape. Now look what's happened and you showed no remorse or emotion this morning at the consequences of what could have happened. 

Well as of today I no longer trust you as a 16 year old girl but will treat you as a 5 year old child. All electrical items have been removed from your bedroom and you wish to use your hair dryer or straighteners or curlers you ask permission and return after use. 

Your bedroom is no longer your doss hole it's a place to sleep and get changed. You will sit downstairs with the rest of your family and interact with us. 

Just count your blessings that we are still alive for me to do this to you and punish you for your irresponsible behavior. Things could have been a whole lot different come this morning!!!

Defending the Indefensible: Andrew Lawrence, Dapper Laughs & Freedom of Speech

 The recent shennaingans surrounding obnoxious chauvinists Andrew Lawrence and Dapper Laughs has seen many (so-called) libertarians and otherwise rational people quote Voltaire's famous maxim, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”. The problem is Voltaire never said this and never would have because it's actually a really dumb thing to say.

A turn-of-the-century biographer created the phrase to specifically describe Voltaire's attitude to, and friendship with, author Helvétius, who's book De l’esprit [On the Mind] had suffered at the hands of authoritarian French Parliamentary book burning. The book asserted that human motivation derives from sensation; you're more likely to do something that feels nice than something that hurts. Hardly a shocking or outrageous assertion so when Helvétius came under attack Voltaire naturally defended him, alledgedly crying, "What a fuss about an omelette! How abominably unjust to persecute a man for such an airy trifle as that!"

Whilst not wishing to put words in Voltaire's mouth (as he has clearly already been the victim of that!) I believe he had a similar sentiment to myself; all valid, intellectual reasoning and criticism (even if it differs from your own) has it's rightful place in society but idiotic, ill-educated, foolish, irrational and uninformed opinion does not (and Volitaire never said it did!).

If what someone says is stupid then you would not 'defend to the death' their right to say it, you'd call them a dick. I'm not going to defend to the death your right to say that the earth is flat, or the MMR vaccination causes autism, or that black people are lazy thiefs, or that women are thick beta-versions of men, or that gay people are mentally ill perverts. If you want to say that you're on your own. I'll be over the road throwing rotten eggs at you.
