Gas

2010-07-28T07:28:00.001-07:00

Well, well, well, British Gas has increased it's profits.

Now that will come as a shock to few people, especially when we all know what they charge us, and how much prices have increased over the last year or so.

But they had to because the cost of oil had gone up so much.
And even though the cost since then has dropped they see no reason to reduce the costs for gas accordingly.

Mines bigger than yours

Burger King advert 'misled on size'

The advert will not be shown again in its current form
A Burger King advertising campaign has been banned after complaints the chicken burger shown was bigger than the real thing, a watchdog has said.

Two viewers said the TV advert for the Tendercrisp burger was misleading.

Now that is a surprise...

Will the time come when a political party publishes it's Manifesto,
gets into power and they are legal required to adhere to their Manifesto?

How great this would be.

BJJA GB Annual 2010

2010-02-24T02:54:00.001-08:00

On Saturday 20th Feb 2010 we took two juniors to the BJJA GB annual competition in Walsall.

They both entered the Random attacks and the continuous fighting competitions.

Spencer - Bronze Medal Randon Attacks - Luca - Gold Medal Continual Fighting

Spencer went out in the early rounds of the continuous fighting much to his disappointment. That said he showed the crowds and the officials on the day that he has lots of potential for the future, and maybe it just wasn't his day. However he also entered the Random attacks and eventually lost in the semi finals to a lad who equipped himself really well in that bout. Spencer needed to go early and I know he felt a little disappointed that he didn't do better. But he can feel proud of himself for achieving what he did in his first ever Jujitsu competition, that was a fantastic result.

Luca, like Spencer suffered in one of his competitions where he went out early in the Random Attacks. Again this was Luca's first experience of a Jujitsu competition and this was intended to be a revealing day where he could gain experience and understand some of the pressures associated with competition. After not achieving as well as he wanted in the Randoms I think Luca had a little talk to himself and went full head on with the Continuous fighting competition. This is a competition which reflects on your ability at sparring, randori and ground-work. So what a fabulous result when Luca at just 14 years old went on to win the final and along the way he disposed of two Black Belts.

This was a fantastic day with plenty of really good competitions and some fantastic sportsmanship being displayed. Everyone who entered should be proud of their achievements regardless of whether they won a final or not. The organisers really made it a splendid day and the whole event was run smoothly and on time.

A great day - with some great results

Well done Luca and Spencer you can both be very proud of yourselves, we at the club are proud of you.

2010-02-10T04:59:00.001-08:00

Boys and Girls,

We have a "new look" web site for the Poole Jujitsu web Site, plus

we also have a new Poole Cage Academy.

Please come and see us

Please have a look and if you have any comments etc please let me know.

If you add our UK MMA League site too, you'll see we have a nice little collection now.

Thanks

Be very aware is the rule, read the print

Today I received through the post, notice that I have been "pre-selected" to apply for a new Visa card.

Well thats good news you would think, then you look at the rest of the advert.

This is from "VANQUIS BANK" who I have never heard of.

But then you read even more and you notice the viriable APR.

Go on guess what it is...

........

........

.......

Just incase you missed it........................................... it is 49.9%

Is this legal?

If it is legal, then it shouldn't be.

Wonder if you don't pay they send round the HEAVIES because it seems that this lot could be from that envoironment judging by what they want in return for their lending.

Someone must be able to do something about this sort of thing.

What about the poor sod who does sign up because they didn't read it properly, someone should be looking out for them surely.

Paternity Leave

2009-10-20T02:58:00.000-07:00

New legislation due out means that there are going to be changes to the paternity laws.

Currently:
A mother can take up to 52 weeks paternity leave, 39 of which are with pay.
A father can take up to 2 weeks paid leave.

New rules will mean that mothers can transfer part of their entitlement to fathers if they return to work in the second half of the baby's first year.

It's bad enough that a small company can employ a young woman and then within a short time they have to pay for them to be off of work for 39 weeks while they adjust to their new life with a baby. But now if the mother want to go back to work the father can take the time off of work instead and he gets paid. This really is getting ridiculous.

How does a small business get through these times when every penny counts.
No wonder many small businesses are scared to employ young women.

Would you employ a potential new mother if you had a small business?

Would you Fu**ing believe it, fu**ing Ramsey profits have fu**ing dropped through the fu**ing floor by a fu**ing 90%. Unfu**ing believable.

Tankfest 09

What a good day we had.

A day spent watching Tanks and Army games at Bovington Tank Museum.

Really enjoyed ourselves.

Thanks guys

On the day that Michael Jackson passed on there was some other news of note.

Sadly Farrah Fawcett passed away on this day too.

Along with the irrepressible Harvey Smith.

What a shame that MJ news should push these items to the inside pages.

2009-06-26T07:43:00.000-07:00

I am please to say that I have just been presented with a Certificate of Commendation from Poole Sports Council for achievement and dedication in Ju-Jitsu.

Thank you to Poole Sports Council and Andy Walker who nominated me for the certificate.

2009-06-13T11:25:00.000-07:00

So quite a few MP's decided that their families should take priority above their political careers.

Especially as they had been caught with their fingers in the till.

I wonder if they would have been so considerate about their families if they were still on that gravy train the was using to fulfill their lots.

It is said, that one quit because she didn't support her boss. On the way out a big fuss was made about not supporting her party, however when the supposed fellow supports did not follow, now she is sorry, I bet she is.

As well as regretting the way she went she also regrets wearing a particular badge, she also regrets leaving on the eve of a vital election when some other party members were out knocking on doors still trying to drum up support for their ailing party.

Funny how quickly priorities and allegiances change when the wrong decision was made.

Congratulations Delia

2009-06-13T11:12:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Delia Smith for her CBE.

Having spent years introducing cooking to just about every home in this country I think she is thoroughly entitled to it.

I wonder if the supermarkets will now run out of medals, oh I do hope so.

Such a shame about her football supporting though.

web site updates

2009-06-11T04:23:00.003-07:00

I have recently updated the Poole web site.

Please have a visit and offer feedback if you feel so inclined.

Many thanks.

Oh and by the way, if your interested there are some nice pictures of pretty girls on our other sites and blogs if you can find them.

2009-06-11T04:16:00.000-07:00

Don't forget to check out other blogs for Poole Bushido Jujitsu and Poole Cage Academy.

Gordon, Gordon Gone?

2009-06-08T08:38:00.000-07:00

Would it be such bad news if Gordon goes?
I dont really know who would be a viable replacement for him.
Could one of the MP's who have recently resigned, or offererd to resign be serious contenders for the post?

After the debacle of the last few weeks, which MP would you trust to act responsibly and honestly in your name?

Could any of them actually be considered as honest?

MP's - trough -

2009-05-15T04:08:00.000-07:00

Today I heard a politician explaining today how he had followed all the rules, hence he doesn't see what he has done wrong.

Good old Ming Campel only took 17% of his allowance each year so again he thinks he was being a good guy.

Here's some terms for our beloved MP's to look up and try to understand why it is that the public feel so insenced at all these self serving practices.

Common sense and morality.

2009-05-14T08:47:00.000-07:00

Do you like these photos?

Nice looking girls?
Well they are from our UK MMA League

So why not come and have a look?

Brainy women

2009-05-14T08:28:00.000-07:00

They say in the papers today that brainier women are better in bed because they are more intouch with their emotions.

Sorry I was looking at your brains !!!!!!!!!!!

Trough

2009-05-14T06:44:00.001-07:00

Let me see what does this remind you of.

Would it be bacon - No, would it be little piglets - No, would it be a farm -No

It's all about MP's. Amazing how our perspective changes with an image.

But still they are greedy sods anyway.

Now did I mean the pigs then, or not?

Thank you Loe McKinstry Daily Express

If like me you are not in favour of ID cards, then why not spare a minute or two and have a read of this article.

By Leo McKinstry at the Daily Express it does help clarify why ID cards are not such a good idea

It may help you make up your mind

2009-05-07T03:07:00.000-07:00

Well done to everyone who joined the Gurkhas crusade.

Looks like we may have had an influence on our Prime Minister.

That's amazing fancy Gordon reacting to public outrage.

Wonder when he might start listening to the outrage about Ministers and MP's being self centred, self opinionated, and totally lacking in experience for the jobs he hoists upon them.
What say you Darling, whats the view of No. 11

ID Cards

2009-05-07T02:53:00.000-07:00

Thursday 7th May Daily Express page 5

Labour - out of touch with reality?

Allegedly when the new controversial ID cards come in Home Secretary Jackie Smith has worked out who will operate and issue them.

Concidering that the information stored on a card is relevant to us personally, and some of this information should be kept from the public eye, how has The Home Secretary come to the conclusion that post offices, photo shops and even supermarkets will be taking our fingerprints and fascial scans.

These ID cards were to be introduced to help stem crime, immigration issues, terrorism and other such unsavoury behaviour.

Can you see it working?
Get real someone please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does it make you feel to know that there are still humans around on this planet that think it is just good fun to take a crossbow and go kill an elephant because no-one else has done it.

Huntress Teressa Groenewald done exactly that. All because someone bet her that she wouldn't be able to do it.

I bet she couldnt catch one of her arrows in her teeth from 5 paces.

Tax on fuel

2008-04-22T09:45:00.000-07:00

Just what is the percentage of tax paid by the consumer at the pump?

What is this spent on?

I guess it's not ring fenced then!

Fanatics - Just how fanatical are they

2008-04-22T09:37:00.000-07:00

Lets see, fanatics, whatever religion they propose to follow, spend days and hours planning assaults that will destroy life. They are so proud of what they are doing that they make films so that they can openly spout their beliefs and reasoning behind their fanatical behaviour.
How proud they look in the video clips, reading from scripts that they have probably spent hours pouring over.
Why is it then, that when they get caught they deny it all, surely they should be screaming how much they believe, or is it now that being in prison is not quite the price they are prepared to pay.
After all it's not quite heaven is it!

Is this really the "Labour Party"?

Perhaps they should change their colours, just to save any confusion
