police attack free-thinkers

By
December 16, 2011

This – police raid tallbloke, is very nearly the last straw. Surely, this cannot be legal, search warrant or not. When did we become the 51st state? Regardless of the ever more sinister threat of the Torquemedia led Greenish Inquisition, the police must be convinced that a crime has been committed and have good...

Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule

By
November 7, 2011

Were all the victims of Saturday nights’s carnage on the M5 fools? It was dark, there was mist, fog and smoke about. I rarely drive on motorways, at any time of the day or night, without wondering if I will make it to my destination. I am frequently in a minority of one, trying...

From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

By
September 2, 2011

Indur M. Goklany talks sense at Watts Up With That. The Ridiculous is the one word that perfectly sums-up the ‘Climate Change/Global Warming/AGW’ religion. Their group-think madness leeches an impenetrable fog; they truly are The Ridiculous. No matter how much real scientific (model free, error free, politics free) evidence comes their way, they will...

Robert Gordon University has lost the plot! It must be those dreich northern winters or long summer days or endless cloud and rain or too much hooch. Fat people cause global warming is it? Well maybe we should stop feeding starving Africans with immediate effect. A few less pies in the Robert Gordon refectories...

Cowards

By
August 10, 2011

We have gangs of feral simians roaming the streets of our towns and cities, helping themselves to bling init. The PCs are too PC to be effective and the government is pointless. I say, call in the exterminators. These yoof claim boredom, ‘there’s nuffink to do’ and that they are unhappy and mis-understood and...

By

Robert W. Wood’s 1909 experiment to test the Greenhouse Effect demonstrated that it did not exist. 102 years on it has been repeated and verified. Another nail in the AGW coffin!

The Divine Comedy part 3 – Greed

By
June 24, 2011

Here is an amusing morality play – .

It resonates with the thoroughly entertaining Four Rooms, currently airing on Channel 4. The number of numpties willing to embarrass themselves in public never ceases to hypnotise me. Ahh, the wonder of television.

Rude Communications

By
June 23, 2011

I have heard it said that email has less than 10 years before it is dead and buried alongside its ugly sister – snail mail. This man said so today at a Mastering Social Media seminar – must be right then. What a disparaging term, snail mail. Here at Ingrate Towers we consider ourselves...

NEDS

By
June 21, 2011

NEDS is flawed but Peter Mullan does play fair with the social history of the deprived dumping grounds of 70s Glasgow; all filmed with no need for elaborate sets in modern Glasgow and its environs, with no obvious sense of irony. The main flaw is the lack of religious context, which may be a...

No Stereotypical Scots here

By
June 2, 2011

Stereotypical Scots pose for cameras, no irony, no surprise! I do not judge, it’s the way we were brought up. Miserable cold and wet winters, very long nights, what else are we to do, even in the summer. Gallons of chemical flavoured piss juice are just the ticket. Thank God it wasn’t whisky; Cheers...

Cameron declares Civil War

By
May 31, 2011

David Cameron was quoted as saying that the Court of Appeal’s decision to overturn the High Court in the matter of Sharon Shoesmith’s dismissal, ‘had serious constitutional implications’. Didn’t our forebears fight a brutal civil war, behead a King and shut down parliament over that very issue. Charles I refused to be answerable to...

Regulate regulation

By
May 18, 2011

Those of us that ocassionally suffer at the hands of the formerly state owned services and utilities have sometimes had good reason for some self-righteous chest-beating when we see massive fines handed out, or even jail terms. But, have you ever stopped to think about who is paying those fines or who is paying...

Random software matters

I recently bought a nice new laptop portable desktop; big screen, 1.2TB hard drives, 64bit corei7, 16GB RAM etc… The idea is to able to easily lock it away and use it as a portable tool during free family and friend ‘consultations’ etc. What to do with it? Its job is to replace 3...

Scots wha hae – a yellow future.

What exactly do we have? SNP in a majority government; Alex Salmond less hog-tied; a mandate to run Scottish affairs, in as much as the constitution allows; a fearful Westminster; demoralised Liberal Democrat and Labour parties; nervous Scots, making it clear that this does not extend to a Yes in an independence referendum. What...

Oregan State outrage

Just how far will the Econazi Machine go to protect its interests and how far will corrupt politicians go to preserve their power base? Read about what is happening at Oregan State University. Sinking this low is only necessary because their ‘science’ is no such thing; it is a religion and a very profitable...
