So, as suggested in the video below, we've been asked to come up with ways to save the government money. One of the best ones I heard today in a meeting was to hire out the HM Treasury courtyard (above) for weddings. Brilliant!

Dave's been asking us what to do. Any ideas guys?

G20 protests

While this is daylight robbery, the performance was poor throughout. For once, Germany deserved to beat us.

So, the world cup as kind of dampened the usual Wimbledon hype you get around this kind of year (which is fine by me, as normally all the fair-weather tennis players come out and steal the local courts), but I'm still pretty excited about the coverage. There are some great shots coming from the Wimbledon facebook fan page.

It's quite funny looking at the junior ministers' facial expressions. Obviously a communications director has said, "this is a serious budget with difficult decisions...we need serious ministers with difficult expressions"...

Took this picture on the Southbank a few days ago. Just got that great orange light at sunset and tried to catch it on my iphone. Although, just as I took it some fat bastard said loudly "I know, lets just take a photo with loads of cranes"...twat.

Staying here for the next few days, looks awesome.

Don't be ridiculous...

Polo in the Park

I went to this event a couple of weeks ago, thought it was worth posting.

Esquire are running a Best Dressed Man competition, and get people to send in their photos or snap people on the street whilst 'on tour'. I can't criticise the entries too heavily, as I'm currently typing, reclined, wearing flip flops, a blue shirt and polyester football shorts - but I'm still going to. I have to say, the style that some of them have clearly thought about and entered, is in my humble opinion, rubbish.

There's a sample collaged above.

She's so good I'm penning a letter to David Cameron to get dance lessons back on the national curriculum.

I saw this when I was running along the river last week. I'd like to think Boris strolled down the embankment to crudely tape it up himself.

To the tune of Que Sera Sera:

"Si Purchase, Purchase,

He thinks he's a cocktail whizz,

His specialty is Bucks Pizz,

Fuck off Pu-urchase...

Si Malone, Malone,

He's the owner of his own home,

He sleeps in his bed alone,

Oh Malone, Malone...

Adam Hamadache,

His name rhymes with lash,

His glasses are as gay as Pat Cash,

Adam Hamadache..."

People in glass houses...

OK. BP have suffered a really nasty accident, whereby an explosion killed 11 employees and a faulty well has been spewing vasts amount of oil and gas into the ocean, ruining coastal environments and threatening dependent jobs. That's really bad. What's also bad is that there have been several failed attempts to plug the (FYI American owned and operated) well. Shambolic, but in fairness, really difficult at the same time. A clean-up operation has started and BP have rightly claimed full responsibility and liability for the environmental costs. Quite simple.

But what's happened since then is a total disgrace. What right does Barack Hussein Obama have to bring jingoistic rhetoric into what is a nasty accident, not a deliberate act of coastal environmental vandalism? Long after Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, confirmed they would foot the bill, there has been a constant torrent of anti-BP, anti-British spiel from the other side of what is proving to be an ever-growing pond. Not cool.

If we really want to talk about being irresponsible and ruining the environment, lets dig a little deeper. Below is a map of the countries in the world committed to reducing their emissions by signing the Kyoto agreement. Those in green have already signed, those in grey are undecided, those in red have declared they have no intention of discussing the idea any further.

If you want to take the argument to a US vs UK level, Barack, you can see the level of CO2 emission per capita at this website, yet handily our nations have such similar names, so the numbers sit quite uncomfortably next to each other on the table anyway, as seen below:

Ouch. Every US citizen pollutes twice as much as every UK citizen. What are you doing about that Barack? Are you going to foot the bill?

To be honest, I'm not that bothered, but I would appreciate slightly more than brazen hypocrisy. Or, just leave out the whole anti-British talk, after all, it's a global employer and has been officially 'BP' for the last decade. Maybe in future Obama should employ one of his advisors to either brief him to avoid these cringing oversights, or stand two feet behind him at all times whispering "you are mortal sire, you are mortal...".
