Joe Slavko's Journal: Transforming Transport
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2010/01/transforming-transport.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Thursday, January 14, 2010. During the 18th Century, as evidenced by tales such as Cinderella. People without their own form of transport could, if they had access to a Fairy Godmother, prevail upon her to turn an ordinary pumpkin into a carriage. In this way, they were able to travel inexpensively, and in comfort, to their destination. How fortunate we are that this isn’t the case today. If they breathalysed them at, say, 11.30pm and the miscreants tested positive, by the t...

Joe Slavko's Journal: Gravitational Anomaly
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2010/01/gravitational-anomaly.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Sunday, January 10, 2010. I think I have the answer. If you carry out demographic surveys of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire you’ll find that, per square yard, the former, unfortunately, has more Working Class people in it. And what do Working Class people typically do over the Christmas period? So what can be done? Of course, this then means that Essex and Surrey will become commensurately heavier. However, that’s a small price to pay for ensuring the accuracy of my...John St...

Joe Slavko's Journal: Dentures
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2010/01/dentures.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. In my opinion, therefore, false teeth should not. Be available on the National Health. The toothless amongst us should be exposed for the gummy slovens that they actually are and forced either to dine on soup for the rest of their days or pay an extortionate sum for a set of artificial teeth. It's sheer vanity, and I don't believe the State should be expected to subsidise it. Some mornings, I really do. Labels: Health and Fitness. Firstly many lost tee...

Joe Slavko's Journal: May 2009
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Women often complain about how it’s unsafe for them to go out at night or use public transport because of the risk of sexual assault. Indeed, as a result, many convert to Islam and wear an all-enveloping burqah. In the hope that any predatory men will think twice about molesting them lest they turn out to be Muslim transsexuals underneath or maybe keep a dog under there. Why don’t these worried women inject themselves with genes from frogs or toads? It's an...

Joe Slavko's Journal: April 2009
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. It therefore behoves us to listen carefully to bee hives. If we hear a single sneeze from within, we should leave a packet of Benadryl outside, just to be on the safe side. Links to this post. Monday, April 27, 2009. But what do we have today? Before delivering him into the path of a speeding articulated lorry. Only in this way with Britain be Great again. Links to this post. Saturday, April 25, 2009. As everyone is no doubt aware, earthquakes are caused...

Joe Slavko's Journal: February 2009
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Friday, February 27, 2009. In my opinion, the idea of sending mail by carrier pigeon - the so-called "pigeon post" - is deeply flawed when it comes to the pricing structure. To expedite matters, pigeons ought to be graded according to speed. Obviously, the faster the pigeon, the more expensive the courier charges. I suppose that, for the money-no-object brigade, you could use a broadband digital pigeon whose holographic image would be transmitted down a fibre optic link ...The o...

Joe Slavko's Journal: June 2009
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. What we must do is change attitudes here. Part of the problem at up-market events such as tennis matches is, I feel, that there are no clear demarcation lines drawn between the various fans. So, for example, it could be that an Andy Murray supporter actually does. Want to give an Andy Roddick supporter a good kicking, and vice-versa, but neither can easily identify who's who in order to do so. In this way, my life would become a tad more colourful. Given ...

Joe Slavko's Journal: Proportional Representation
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2010/05/proportional-representation.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Friday, May 07, 2010. Given today’s election results, I find myself – somewhat surprisingly, admittedly – in favour of proportional representation. Not, however, in the crude form as advocated by the Liberals. No, in my opinion, politicians should be prepared to go all the way for their principles. To this end, I propose maintaining the current constituency-based “first past the post” system but with a few modifications. In practice, this would mean lopping his legs off. Or,...

Joe Slavko's Journal: Trojan
http://joeslavko.blogspot.com/2010/01/trojan.html
Diary of a slum landlord. Monday, January 11, 2010. You often hear the expression “He worked like a Trojan.” This is meant to be a good thing, implying that the person being discussed laboured greatly and accomplished much. It suggests, too, that Trojan employment agencies were very busy places and, by contrast, the dole queues in Troy very short. (With an overall DHSS bill the lowest in Antiquity, no doubt.). I imagine Troy would have endured, and Aeneas wouldn't have gone on to help found Rome. Thu...

No more worries for a week or two" - Can holidays be that magical? No more worries for a week or two" - Can holidays be that magical? Jul 21st, 2010 04:11 pm. But really, do holidays possess such magical powers as to eradicate all worries, nasty thoughts and stresses? Does changing the physical environment around us have any impact on our thought processes, our moods and the way we deal with lifes niggles? And the rest of us? So, with many thanks to a certain Mills family, here are my top tips for leavin...
