Test tube terrorists Aug 17

Thanks to a Guardian typo, this subhead from yesterday’s paper about the feud between the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Loyalist Volunteer Force suggests that the UVF will be rebranding itself to make it even less popular with Catholics:

Get drunk, stay drunk Aug 16

BBC News’s AsboWatch VII:

Angered by his unruly, boozed-up behaviour, police had hoped magistrates would punish the youth for breaching his Asbo. He hadn’t.

Closer examination revealed that he had mistakenly been ordered not to be in public “without” alcohol and that he was also duty bound to act in a threatening manner likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress to others.

One song to the tune of another Aug 16

Nine years too late I know, but have you noticed that the lyrics to the verses of the Blur song Stereotypes can be sung to the tune of Squeeze’s Cool for Cats?

Blur Squeeze
The suburbs they are dreaming, they’re a twinkle in her eye
She’s been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye
She wears a low cut t-shirt, runs a little B&B
She’s most accommodating when she’s in her lingerie
The Sweeney’s doing ninety cos they’ve got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They’re counting out the fivers when the hand cuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
