Bee in his bonnet: Silver Cock
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/silver-cock.html
Bee in his bonnet. Friday, 19 October 2007. Have you noticed how in many cases the service doesn't actually get better in expensive restaurants, it gets worse? It always intrigues me. You go into a very cheap restaurant and aren't surprised if the waiting staff don't have a clue about how to wait, or are not very friendly. There are some honourable exceptions to that, yes, but the point is that it is not a surprise. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. What ...

Bee in his bonnet: Pea-souper
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/09/pea-souper.html
Bee in his bonnet. Wednesday, 17 October 2007. An interesting side effect of the smoking ban is the territory battle that has taken place. I never like to waste fine weather, particularly not when winter is around the corner, and definitely not when summer was another winter. Perhaps we should bear this in mind the next time we try to ban something. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. Subscribe to this blog.

Bee in his bonnet: Radiohead review
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/radiohead-review.html
Bee in his bonnet. Monday, 15 October 2007. Now that the Radiohead album. Has been released, here is my view of things:. There was another, overlooked, reason why Radiohead might have put their album out for download with people choosing how to much to pay. It is rubbish. Posted by Major Gripe.

Bee in his bonnet: Tealeaves
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/tealeaves.html
Bee in his bonnet. Saturday, 27 October 2007. I am lucky to have a very happy and full life. But I've decided that what is missing is a thumpingly good campaign about something. I'm not particularly fussed about campaigning to save the world, as most of the possible ways already seem to be campaigned about. So it's going to be something far more insidious: thieving restaurateurs. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. Subscribe to this blog. Did you miss me?

Bee in his bonnet: Bridging the gap
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/bridging-gap.html
Bee in his bonnet. Wednesday, 31 October 2007. Quick message to all of my disGriples: I am in on a residential course in Stamford Bridge all week (somewhat painfully for me as a Spurs fan) so posts will be light (as already seen this week). One of you (Roberto, estoy hablando de ti) is on my list for coming here and not having a beer with me. Amends will need to be made. Box for the League Cup game tonight against Leicester so there may be a match report Gripe-style at soheme point. Hope all is well.

Bee in his bonnet: Put up your crutches
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/put-up-your-crutches.html
Bee in his bonnet. Friday, 23 November 2007. Put up your crutches. Hello again everybody. Did you miss me? I was going to write about so many things this week: first, our government manages to lose all of that data and Alastair Darling still somehow keeps his job. Then I got a letter from Tower Hamlets council rejecting my appeal against a parking ticket and have decided to take the lousy shits to tribunal. Then, Steve McClaren refuses to resign after making his job untenable. Posted by Major Gripe.

Bee in his bonnet: Auntie loser
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/auntie-loser.html
Bee in his bonnet. Thursday, 18 October 2007. For example, they rely heavily on interviewing their own correspondents as if they are the experts. Even if they interview real experts, the effect is the same - once they have an expert opinion that agrees with the story they want, they create that opinion as a fact. This is at best shabby journalism and at worst misinformation. Nothing worthy of how the BBC likes to see itself. Important for us to about what is going on straight away? Posted by Major Gripe.

Bee in his bonnet: Copy of an email to Greenwich Council Tax Department
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/copy-of-email-to-greenwich-council-tax.html
Bee in his bonnet. Tuesday, 27 November 2007. Copy of an email to Greenwich Council Tax Department. Dear council tax department,. I am writing to you whilst beside myself with rage at the council's complete ineptitude and malevolent collection practices for wrongly taking me to court in my absence and wrongly issuing a county court judgment against me for money that I don't actually owe. I have just received a Council Tax Liability Order Notification and Bailiff Warning Notice. Instructing me that on 19t...

Bee in his bonnet: A right dilemma
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/right-dilemma.html
Bee in his bonnet. Saturday, 17 November 2007. Something of a teaser presents itself tonight for the racist thugs among England football fans. England's qualification for Euro 2008 is out of our hands: not only do we have to beat Croatia on Wednesday, we also have to hope that Israel beats Russia tonight. The question is this: will those fans who are also members of the far right and would normally rail against Israel stick to their guns tonight, or will they swallow their convictions and cheer them on?

Bee in his bonnet: Season's greetings
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/12/seasons-greetings.html
Bee in his bonnet. Sunday, 23 December 2007. Googlemail.com (substituting the first bit for majorgripe of course - I just don't want spambots trawling the website and emailing me about places where I can buy fake degrees or get the little Major lengthened or my man-breasts augmented). It has been a lot of fun writing this year. I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have. Anyway, I wanted to wish all of you, my readers a very merry Christmas. Posted by Major Gripe.
