Parts for car recovery and other

Four new tyres in preparation for the winter and I start the day somewhat pleased at the recession-indicative damage of just £62 a corner. Adding another £118 for car tax and a replacement set of wiper blades bumps the spend up again, but that is the least of my potential problems. Normally I can allocate anything between a full day and a full week to replace either headlight bulbs or wiper blades, but miraculously the new wipers are fitted within an hour. Although I've yet to use them in anger. Looking at the weather forecast and talking to Jim Dowson in Ulster an hour or so ago it appears that my handiwork will be put to the test in the very near future. The predicted heavy rain will eliminate any possibility of me spending time in the garden and reluctantly my weekend will gravitate towards B & Q and other unpleasant places wasting my precious Saturday in the process.

Apparently he was applauded for his rant, which by the way will mean that he will be, by his own admission, incapable of maintaining The Speaker's role should BNP MPs be elected next year. One thing he did not tell his audience was that in the financial years 2007-8, 2006-7, 2004-5 and 2002-3 he occupied joint first position in a league table of highest-claiming members of the House of Commons, while in 2003-4 he was the joint third. I don't think he would have received so much applause for his undoubted prowess at the trough. Neither for the fact that the troughmeister changed the designation of his second home on more than one occasion – meaning that he avoided paying capital gains tax on the sale of two properties. Let's face it with a pedigree like that I'm rather happy about his uncontrollable and very public hatred of the BNP.

I did say they would regret the day they crossed swords with us and don't be surprised at all if this does not become a criminal matter. There are better legal minds than mine who understand all too well the implications of what is being alleged considering the circumstances in which we were dragged into court just fifteen days ago by these people.
