* A new report on the dangers of cannabis has been produced, it claims 500,000 people are dependent on cannabis (yeah right) well, well, well what are the withdrawal symptoms? We should be told. Then Professor Robin Murray, a consultant psychiatrist at the Institute of Psychiatry, said the research provided the strongest evidence that cannabis had a significant impact on the brain. He said proving a long-term effect was extremely difficult, as it was not ethical or feasible to stimulate long-term psychosis in volunteers. Yeah it does have a significant effect its called being stoned. The report says 50% of the subjects displayed symptoms of psychosis but did not say what these were, perhaps laughing uncontrollably might be involved.
It goes on : However, he said: "If something has an active effect in inducing the symptoms of psychosis after one dose, then it would not be at all surprising if repeated use induced the chronic condition." Well I guess uncle dave is as mad as a hatter as he's been using for at least 40 years, I will phone him later to give him the bad news.
Uncle Dave says the serious affect of smoking dope is to reduce forward planning and ambition to extremely low levels, this induces a passive approach where most activities involve a smoke 'ah thats better' view of life.


* Channel 4 is in trouble and pleading for public money which I personally think should not be supplied. Channel 4 has blamed a drop in advertising revenues and higher spending on digital TV for a 70% slump in profits to £14.5m during 2006.
C4 added that the figures showed it needed extra state funding, or it would have to screen more commercial shows at the expense of public service content.
Or one might draw the conclusion that its programs are utter sh*t and no one watches. I think they should cut down on the cokehead impersonators and jerbil lovers and employ someone who understands television broadcasting.

* Tony Blair still with his eye on his legacy has stepped into the row about councils switching to fortnightly rubbish collections saying that he prefers weekly bin rounds. He said it was for councils to decide, but there must be "better ways" for them to boost recycling. Mr Blair told GMTV: "It is for local councils to decide but in the end I am a traditionalist on this one, to be absolutely frank.
Well, well, well tony bollocks the traditionalist once again he speaks out on the issues affecting middle england.

* There was also some complaint about nothing having been done to prevent death by friendly fire. The solution is not to indulge in military adventures with the americans. There you go problem solved.
