Trafalgar

No, I seriously thought it was on October the 23rd, turns out I am two days adrift. D'oh! Oh well, Saturday in that case, was the 201st anniversary of Nelson's legendary battle. Top hole. Sea battles are of the utmost importance to Britain, just ask Helen Mirren, she'll tell you. Helen Mirren has been both Queen Elizabeths now so I think she should just be slotted in as the real thing should the current Queen not make it to 150 as expected.

On the radio this morning I heard that Kazbekistan, home of Borat and who have been generally crying 'foul' over the way they are portrayed as a country of women hating incompetents by Sasha Baron Cohen, are just about to release a banknote on which the word for 'bank' is incorrectly spelt. Woe, woe and thrice woe.

I was quite disturbed to see that Condominium Rice took time out from her busy schedule last week to bizarrely announce that Kim Jong-Il of North Korea was lying when he said there would be no more nuclear tests. Well he might well be, but way to wind up an insane despot Condi, couldn't you just have kept it shut? What earthly good can it do to call him out on this. Sheesh.

And speaking of insane despots, Iran's very own Ah'm-mad-in-a-bad-jihad is trying to get women to have more babies in order to take over the west. Yeah, nice try idiot, not only do your own clerics advise against it, all you will do is water down the population so that they will be even more male and even more poor.
Firstly, I'd be surprised if Mad-bad-jihad didn't own a flat screen TV and a whole bunch of other western trash, secondly, I'm pretty sure that any nation that UPPED the percentage of women in the workforce rather than cut it, would increase productivity, general work-rate and all kinds of benefits.

Especially if Hewlett-Packard are anything to go by, their predominantly male top-dogs conduct business in strip clubs. So basically, they are all horribly worried that the other male top-dogs won't think them testosteroney enough, not enough to swing their dicks at each other, they need to be surrounded by women who let them think they are in control.
Imagine what could be achieved if women and gay men were in charge. For a kick-off, women wouldn't have to work in sleazy strip-clubs. And they wouldn't have to conduct business there either. Their minds would be on whatever the problem in hand was and not how insecure they feel about the size of their equipment.
Ah, such efficiency. The world would be our lobster.

And you know what I'm thinking? David Walliams could have played the Queen in the film of the same name. I mean, look at the pic at the top, can you even tell whether it's him or Helen Mirren?
