Milk Matters
The Food Standards Agency in Britain has received an anonymous tip that milk from cloned cows is being sold to the public.
Apparently the FSA was quoted as saying that they thought that selling milk from cloned cows or their offspring was illegal. So even the FSA aren’t sure on the exact details of the law! [...]
2009 Looks Set to be a Miserable Year
I’ve been told that I must make some predictions for 2009 and put them on my blog – so here goes:
Home repossessions are set to skyrocket in the UK. Although interest rates are being kept low, helping to reduce monthly mortgage repayments, for many this will still be too much as other bills are on [...]
What is the single most effective thing I can do for the environment?
Even though The Nurse is banged up, she’s still environmentally aware.
Tapping away on her keyboard late into the night, The Nurse has been trying to identify the single most effective thing she can do to help the environment.
OK, so she can’t do much from in here. HMP XXX isn’t exactly stuffed with consumer goods and [...]Ridiculous news part 2… The Nurse rants on
TV in prison isn’t always a benefit. The Nurse is finding the news particularly irritating at the moment. Thankful for the opportunity to vent, she scribbles by the dim light of a crescent moon, her paper criss-crossed with shadows. In the next cell, someone weeps and gnaws at the bars…
More things that make The Nurse very, very cross. And [...]Forget the Rich List. Here’s the Ridiculous List.
The Nurse has a lot of time on her hands at Her Majesty’s Pleasure. Which is why she’s typing this post from underneath several unfurled and chaotic rolls of Elsan toilet roll. You know, that crinkly stuff that’s about the same thickness as tracing paper and twice as shiny. And utterly non-absorbent. Dreadful for personal hygiene but highly effective for writing lists.
This [...]I named my (fill in the gap) Mohammed!
Mohammed
Fully aware of the risk of having a fatwa raised against her, The Nurse has spent the morning wrenching back common sense from the hands of the nutters. Mainly by re-naming things.
The prison cat, previously named Little Baby Jesus by the inmates, has been re-named Mohammed. Each inmate has signed an agreement to change their christian name to Mohammed (causing some confusion, soon remedied with a [...]Just say no to children: 5 great reasons to stay child-free!
Just about everyone has kids but that doesn’t mean it’s de rigeur. It’s a choice.
In the hope that lots of bouncy, fertile young females and hormone-tortured males’ll read this post, The Nurse feels duty bound to point out the top five benefits of remaining child-free. If you’re currently considering dropping a sprog make yourself a coffee, sit down and read on…
5. pelvic floor [...]Feed ecstasy to the masses!
The Nurse doesn’t get out much. But she devours the TV news avidly from her cell. So it grabbed her attention when a senior UK police officer recently recommended we make all drugs legal and face the consequences, rather than spending obscene amounts criminalising drug users as well as the abusers.
Millions of ordinary law-abiding folk [...]Thieving Bastards at the Big Chill
It has come to our attention that a number of people had a less than chilled experience at this years Big Chill shindig. This is confirmed on the Big Chill site where they acknowledge 156 reported thefts, mainly from tents.
Our roving, festival going reporter told us that the figure was probably higher than this, and [...]Welcome to the Sussex Amateur Brain Surgery Blog
