If you are looking for a quality take away curry in the Worcester Park area……look no further.

I got a leaflet for the “Spice of Malden” through the letterbox the other evening. I thought I would give it a whirl…and by hec as like, I’m glad I did. They are absolutely superb.

I have had a few of them now, and they continue to be excellent.

Car Taxing

Posted in the category of General by Dick on the December 19th, 2006

Here is a little snippet from the governments petition web page - regarding UK vehicle taxing…..

The idea of tracking every vehicle at all times is sinister and wrong. Road pricing is already here with the high level of taxation on fuel. The more you travel - the more tax you pay.

It will be an unfair tax on those who live apart from families and poorer people who will not be able to afford the high monthly costs.

Please Mr Blair - forget about road pricing and concentrate on improving our roads to reduce congestion.

I strongly urge everyone to visit this web site and sign up to the petition.

Click here and follow the instructions.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

This is the text that came with the original email. I’m not sure about the facts and figures, but I think you will kind of get the idea.

The government’s proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having topurchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP (notice of intended prosecution) with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10’s new website

Skiing In Bulgaria, Borovets

Posted in the category of Skiing by Dick on the November 27th, 2006

At last my skiing holiday to Borovets, Bulgaria has been booked. Again this year I have opted for the scheduled BA flights and arranged accomodation in Borovets directly with chums who own apartments. I think this is a much cheaper way of doing things - and you have much more sociable flight times. This year I am having twelve days out there. All we need now is for the snow to start falling.

If you are looking for the Borovets Webcam or the Borovets Piste Map - look no further, just click the links and go to my skiing page. This page is a gateway to a whole host of skiing resources - mainly dedicated to Borovets in Bulgaria

Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Posted in the category of Books, Buy from this site by Dick on the November 8th, 2006

I have just finished reading this little book by a chap called John Perkins.

It’s quite an interesting read, giving an opinion, allegedly from the “inside” about how the FBI and US government uses large US businesses to take over the world.

It becomes a bit evanglical towards the end, but it’s an interesting read. I have to say, it does make you stop and think a little though. I also have no doubt that larges parts of this book are totally true. I would say buy this book - it will if nothing else confirm an opinion that you may already have.
