Me Duck

Me' duck is a real Lincolnshire saying, a bit like having tea at 5pm or going for a walk down the beck. This is literally 'me duck' or 'my duck' in the Queens English. I got it for my birthday along with some pretty posh looking smellies.

In other news I've been watching the Leveson Enquiry coverage, and have to talk about the Ann Diamond story. Last night I watched a BBC report that saw Ann Diamond tell tearfully of the Sun coverage of the death of her child. She told how they printed a picture she asked them not to and completely disregarded her right to privacy. Then they rang her and said they were doing a campaign against cot death and would she join in? They said if she said no it'd look bad and they'd go ahead anyway. She cried as she recalled emotional blackmail.

Today The Sun reported that Ann Diamond had stated how their campaign was a good thing, and that she had said not all aspects of the media are bad.... like they had done nothing wrong. I remarked in our canteen to a guy from head office about how the story enraged me.

'Not being funny Gary, but the solution is to not buy it'

So today I opted to boycott the nations favourite mind control pamphlet masquerading as a daily comic. Fuck The Sun, fuck them.

This just in: George Osbourne today sanctioned the Lincoln eastern bypass, a road we feared we'd never seen. Work will commence on the project meaning the A158 roundabout will join up with the A46 roundabout at Newark. This is massive, massive news.

Not least because Jewsons will be closest to the bypass in the northern part of town. This road will almost instantly becoming a bustling area full of opportunity for growth......

I care about economics in my area and this is a boost akin to pressing the R1 button on FIFA (ie a boost).
