On my soapbox today!!
Posted Mar 16, 2007
I listened to the news yesterday,and have mulled over what i heard...and i'm 
yet again!!
So,it was originally underestimated when the cost was announced for the 2012 olympic stadium(what's new there!!)
9.3 BILLION pounds will now be spent,instead of the original 2.some billion!!!
It was said that it's equivalent to £115 for every man,woman and child in the country!
Well personally i'd prefer my £115 was used to pay for treatment for alzheimers,(£2.50 a day)to make someones life so different,or for the newest treatment for cancer,
This money would build 86 new hospitals,pay for much needed scanners to detect illnesses earlier,and therefore give a much better chance of full recovery.Whats wrong with this country??

Or have a been conned ,along with loads more people!!I need a rant,so just ignore me ,while i get this off my chest!!!
As most people who were telewest/ntl customers ,virgin media can't come to an agreement with sky.so the customers have lost two channels.I personally didn't watch a lot of the sky one programmes,but enjoyed cold case and bones,and similar ones!!
Anyhow...after the television going off intermittently yesterday,and not being able to access the internet,i rung them.
I complained thet the programmes they have on virgin central are not programmes that we watched in this house,so their "wonderful"channel was no good to me,and that all customers should receive a rebate as we're missing two channels!!!
I was amazed when the person i spoke to said that seen as the prices had been changed ,leaving my payments the same would compensate for losing the two !!!!
They know that we don't have much choice but to accept what ever they do to us....i'm fed up of virgin already!!!

compensation for ilegal drug users???
Posted Nov 13, 2006
What do you think??
i have the news on at the moment,and they have announced that six prisoners have been awarded compensation for having to go"cold turkey",when commited to prison ,as it is classed as assault!!!
Apparently some were on class A drugs,others were on methadone.They also said that it will be the tax payers who will have to foot the bill for this compensation,the amount will be decided by judges tomorrow.
I'd like other peoples opinions on this ruling....unless of course i've got it wrong!!
