I got no christmas cards from work this year, just nasty mail, complaints made against me by so called co-operators, regarding my microwave traumas!
I got a new microwave cooker from the cooperative, and all the promises regarding delivery and recycling were broken, and in my capacity as a member of the co-op, have used the complaints routes available.
Latest news is that I am entitled to a refund and my rights as a consumer have been upheld, it can be taken away by them and I am deciding what to do.
I got a letter dated christmas eve from Cooperative Regional Secretary, that suggests that my efforts to inform elected members of the cooperative about e shop failures have been misunderstood, and I think this is unacceptable.
The letter suggests that I should not put my comments about my experienced treatment by the co-op in what could be a public arena, for reasons that I do not fully understand.
I have investigated ways of taking this forward, and I believe the co-op have broken the law, Enterprise Act 2002, the distance selling regulations. The people who police this are called “The Office of Fair Trading”
The microwave issue is continuing to spoil my christmas and new year celebrations, and following the letter I got from the co-operative regional secretary yesterday, I did have a bit of a meltdown, but I believe that it is in the best interests of the cooperative members to report the organisation to the OFT, and get the E-Shop working properly, like their competitor comet does?
Will I ask the Coop for a refund as provided by the law, will they try and punish me further?
They have also sent a letter to me saying that they do not like this blog, because my comments on it might bring them into disrepute, but as long as my comments are legal, honest and truthful, as I believe they are, I have a right to stand up for my rights as a consumer, and represent others who want their rights enforced by the OFT?

Its been a pretty good christmas so far, My life expectancy is about 10 years, and thats average for a 62 year old. I see my all grown up children, on average about 4 times a year, and this is good. So in theory, I have a 50% chance of seeing my offspring 40 times before I die?
As an average person, of my age with assets worth house £160,000 who gets inherited, every visit from family is worth 160,000/40
-39funerelcelebration today with quality time, it was good?
or £4000, today we went to pub it was good and well worth the inheritance share of £2000 it justified, but putting a price on family is strange, and If I decided to spend a thousand pounds on a pay date, who would it be with?
More mail abuse today, but we can cope?

Well, ok better stay in then and watch the telly, the BBC weather dept are predicting heavy snow for West Yorkshire. Even if I did go out there would be nobody there because of the paranoia, would need shovel and loads of blankets.
Its over 2 degrees here at 2004, temparature has been rising all day and lying snow is thawing. I have been tracking weather moving north over england and although there has been snow over welsh hills, there are no reports from the big cities of ice or snow, so it is a shame to have to stay in when there seems to be no bad weather around.
The weather front seems to have stopped moving north now, but the temperature always falls overnight so perhaps by morning it will be frosty, and if any rain or sleet does get here before midnight, it should turn to snow in the early hours.
Will the severe weather for west yorkshire strike before midnight? Will millions of people stay indoors and watch the telly instead of getting gumboots on and driving off into the drifting white hell of ecky thump?
The triffids are on tonight, its about time someone could make weeds walk then we could chase them out of the garden and send them off to the oil factory?
Time for a glass of common sense?

The ENFP dominated world of politics and committee decision makers needs to be changed. Its good to have natural leaders, but the lack of information skills and dependency on consultancy experts, no matter how creative they might be, shows they are outdated.
In my ISTJ environment of stability, respect for facts and orderly environments, there are many political opportunities where my high standards of behaviour, and ability to do anything if I put my mind to it, would be appreciated.
I do realise I might not always be in tune with people’s feelings, dislike change, but I am a community minded “good citizen”, and can be depended on to follow through tasks.
My particular ISTJ trait is perseverance, that is why I seem to fit in to the management and executive layer of the corporate business world?
It will be 2010 soon and time to look for a new challenge, the political dinosaurs who dominate all the main parties, seem to be darwinist ENFP self selected failures, who could easily be replaced with public relations consultants and random decision making machines.
Weather Forecast
ENFP
Please don’t worry about possible severe weather, according to my consultant, long term average is 7 degrees centigrade with 20% chance of rain. Because it snowed last week, it cannot snow again because the clouds feel empty. If any bad weather does start, please tell someone about it and send some pictures to the BBC? We will not be controlled by the weather forecasters, do you agree?
ISTJ
I got these facts from Met Office website, occluded front moving erratically north into cold air over england, heavy snow expected somewhere tuesday onwards, but without further information, it is impossible to say where at the moment. Most likely places for severe weather on Met Office data at 19:50 Sunday, this week are south of a line from norwich to aberystwyth. Please log on at 1900 tomorrow for update!
BBC-Weather Watch
Rain spreading north on tuesday possibly turning heavy in southwest england, may turn to snow in wales, the midlands and northern england.
There is potential for disruption which may continue into wednesday.
Having read the above, who do you believe when deciding if to go out tuesday night or wednesday lunch?
ENFP, ISTJ, BBC, Wait and see?

Lots of snow in Weetwood this christmas eve, like I thought yesterday, the approaching warm front from the south did occlude, and this meant that on the surface the temperature is well below freezing. We had lots of embarrasing snow that the BBC did not forecast or report. A good six inches?
The main weather systems that might make it milder, have taken worst case scenario tracks to keep weetwood cold. It looks like it will stay below freezing and foggy till christmas morning and a weather front approaching from ireland will make it snow here on christmas night.
Boxing day should start with a frost, but another occloded front in the cold air, might cause rain or sleet in south weetwood, but some snow on tinshill top.
Sunday monday, we just get used to sleet and hail showers blowing in, with a gradual thaw of snow, but on tuesday/ wednesday, the wicked winds of the north will win and we will have snow good weather, but I like it?
Why not buy an electric fan heater now, before british gassers run out of steam. This weather might save a lot of local businesses like corner shops, local pubs and convenience stores, that will get more business from the supermarkets that rely on cars and buses for subsidised profits?
Merry White Christmas From Weetwood!

My campaign about vitamin D awareness has had a boost today by number 10 approving my ShineOnEngland petition.
Please be amongst the first people to sign up to it, it is to run about six months. The main problem I have with the campaign is that the sarcoidosis people have a petition about vitamin d and vulnerable groups, so I had to word it in a way that might get through the approval process, and it did,
Please sign my petition on http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ShineOnEngland/
Also please sign the live Vitamin D Awareness Petition on http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/vitDeffects
Drastic weather is aproaching weetwood from south tonight, it looks like freezing rain will coat everything in the area with ice over the next 2 or 3 hours, and the main hope is that it will turn to snow as the approaching warm front occludes, maybe around sheffield.
The Met office forecast for christmas, seems a bit dodgy, but it looks like we might get 24 hours of melting weather, then next week as the blocking anticyclone over greenland moves to scandinavia, we will have an increasingly colder and snowy 2010?
I have just had a good visit to leeds, done some christmas shopping and had a half of strongbow in headingley taps and high farm.
Some of the people in there were too high, but there seem to be a few party nights in weetwood, but - let it snow, please support my shine on england petition and look out for the crohns england campaign 2010 on www.zhitz.com
Further political comments about the survival spectrum are very appropriate at christmas, the darwinists get their power from networking, and procterists do this by forming groups, Let it Snow?

The low that was supposed to come up from spain is cancelled. The Met office are now predicting that a new low will form in mid atlantic and be in the southwest approaches on christmas day. This looks a bit unlikely, and if it takes a track 150 miles south boxing day could be a white out over northern england.
I once read a great book called “The Peter Principle” this is based on the simple idea that suggests that people get promoted untill they get a job they cannot do. This particulary seems to affect people selected for jobs using the principle of darwinism. There are several ways to combat this problem, the most obvious one to me is to have a reasonable mixture of people working together, a collection of differences, as opposed to the great and good.
I think I have come up with an “Alan Principle” today, it seems to apply to people who are selected using the principle of procterism, where those who adapt and survive are selected.
This results in a situation where people are promoted to their level of conflict, where they cease to function because of unresolved differences with the darwinists. I call this problem “Survival Spectrum Conflict” and resolving it is the key issue in achieving world domination by people who look forward and not back in politics!
Where will the christmas low pressure form? Looks like the snow has stopped now at 2038 on 22 Dember 2009. More showers expected after midnight, and a fairly reasonable prediction by the BBC appears to show significant snow in the early hours of christmas eve in weetwood, so why not get your shopping tomorrow?

Let it snow, we have enough snow to make it feel like christmas, and commercial interests appear to have taken over rational weather forecasting. The reasonably correct forecasts on the met office website, appear to be being laundered by the BBC and the latest misinformation regarding a snowy low moving into the southeast demonstrates this. The next big weather event, set to take place on christmas eve, relates to low pressure developing over spain moving north over the england east coast. If this happens christmas morning will be snowed up in a line through from the isle of wight to edinburgh, especially on high ground and away from east coast?
Using met office chart weetwood has 33% chance of more than 10 cm snow on christmas morning, and 66% chance or rain or dry! what will happen? let wait and see, forecast for tuesday wednesday thursday is frost with some light snow showers.
The Cooperative Online Shop problem is taking up a lot of my thoughts. I will send details of the latest problems to their web people tomorrow, and hope they have enough christmas spirit to get it sorted out in a dignified way. Obviously the cooperative is absolutely perfect and have loads of dandelion clocks and solicitossers on their side, and the odd bob dylan.
With thousands of vulnerable people trapped in their homes, having to depend on c0-0p convenience stores rather than the big nasty supermarkets, maybe it would be good for the co-operative to offer a 10% discount on severe weather days, or when DWP declares a temperature emergency?
Merry Christmas to any readers, as this blog is likely to cease due to power cuts or christmas celebations. Let it snow!

Being in railway industry awareness, the wrong kind of cold should not close a railway without industrial reaction,
Down at the Co-operative I have suggested that they ought to have a customer reaction scheme, whereby members who own the company, being joined by financial services users, who might be interested in a co-operative course on political correctness abuse, and how ice entrapped convenience store hostages, create profits that are shared with the labour party, simply because they cannot get to ASDA because daft councillors fail to get our roads gritted?
Why has none of the media picked up the eurostar work to rule?
Latest weather situation stays cold, and south england areas might get snow and freezing rain, but christmas day is either dry or wet, ice or thaw, depending on computer model,
My latest predictions for weetwood are that any snow lying here now will still be here on christmas eve, it will continue to be a long awaited traditional english frosty and cold christmas, and the temperature on christmas day will be 37 degrees F with a chance of snow or sleet showers, then a gradual drop in temperature to new year, with blocking anticyclone over scandinavia?

I have been watching the complex weather front moving south, it dropped some sleet and freezing rain, but over in york and newcastle it was heavy snow. Looks like staying cold with some snow till christmas eve, then apart from blocking anticyclone migrating to scandinavia by the knew year, the christmas day weather is going to depend on the position of a low, in south uk, latest info suggests a track along english channel, to be confirmed tomorrow,
Up in aloft, investigations show that condensation, rather than a poltergoost are responsible for the abnormal water appearance around my water tank and loft access ramp.
My water tank has two lids, one metal one plastic, that are in the wrong relative positions, so, removed both of them. Alternative explanation for mysterious water leak is a balls up in the cock department, where a red float is supposed to turn off the water top up. Problem is, there could be a leak that is supposed to go down the overflow pipe, but it does not because a misguided seal is leaking.
I maybe have a plummer coming monday, but maybe I need to get onto handyman hire? The colder it gets the more condensational problems get, and it as great to see so many extra people looking at my blog yesterday as the institutional stalking monitor service creeps home and rests in peace for a christ less mas truce?

As most people will have noted, I commented on the El Nino year and lack of solar activity regarding sunspots. The Weather pattern at the moment is unusual, and technically we have a blocking anticyclone over greenland, that might migrate to scandinavia.
In an unlikely worst case scenario, the possible cold weather over europe at 1963 levels could mean that natural gas supplies fail, and we might have to rely on electrical heating. This is mainly coal based, so might last.
Disaster prevention advice is as follows, make sure that you have an electric fan heater or similar device that could prevent hypothermia in event of failure of natural gas supplies. A single 3KW fan heater could save your life in January 2010 if a big freeze type 1963 happens, buy one now?
Secondary advice is to stock up on food and bottled water, and if a gas failure does strike, please dont forget to put your refrigerator out in the garden, cold is free.
Current weather forecast predicts snow in weetwood saturday night, maybe snow showers sunday afternoon, the accurate forecast for holiday week will be broadcast about mid day sunday.
Will it snow at christmas? Will natural gas supplies cope with the cold? Will the blocking anticyclones recede? Wait and see?

My family members tend to die near christmas, so I try and forget the aniversaries , my father died on 25 November 1975, Mother on 17 December 2000. I was on my way to wakefield westgate when my father died, and I only looked up my mothers death day yesterday, because I had a particularly important meeting in wakefield and I had to get there by train, my last visit on the line had the attempted suicide, so having got there, against the odds, I got my questions in at the meeting.
The Cooperative Area meetings are held in secret, and in italics for no obvious reasons, I still have various concerns about consumer issues that I do not seem to be able to get over to some people.
Leeds was quiet, shopping for diaries, organiser, glass of wine, haircut then first class train to wakefield, 11 minutes.
Had the meeting sorry cannot say anything secret. It finished and then the race home began. The train people included Councillor msdj and former euro MP ,vhpesn, a coop employee and myself. It was late, so had to get unvirgin cross country ontime train at 2054.
It was freezing, there was a heated and well lit waiting room but it was locked up to keep out us rif raf first class passengers and elected reps out!
Train came and I struck up a conversation with carol anne and colleague, a management person, who seemed to know about poltergeist.
It was a good journey, she gave me a card, and it really made my day to meet someone who really cared about part of the community that people like to forget.
Poltergeist struck at my house today, a loft ladder salesman came around and gave an estimate, but during his visit he found that something had pissed water on my loft hatch, a very mysterious event, because yesterday, it was as dry as a bone?
A puddle he found, and later investigations proved that there was no visble source of water and no leaks, so maybe carol anne is lost in my loft, and needs to be rescued.
No snow, leaks, condensation, so why had this magic puddle appeared so quickly?
Experiments show that a dry hardboard loft hatch cover can absorb water very quickly, then due to mysterious forces, distorts.
Will I contact carol anne again?, she did reply to my e mails, did the tinshill poltergeist piss on my loft hatch, will I have a Zhit christmas with a house full of plumbers and Leeks? Watch this space?
It was good to talk to someone today who has personal experience of the totally unpublished Helicobacter Pylori Scandal. Both grandparents on my mothers side died from peptic ulcers within a week of each other at christmas 1962, the fact that they died from a preventable infection, that can be cured, is so sad. In 2009 doctors can eliminate this main cause of digestice cancer with simple antibiotics, but as soon as it is fixed, it comes back because it is in the food chain where it should not be?
Looks like snow every day now, till christmas, will polterggost strike again?

This is short course milk valuation for people trying to defend farmers who make poor milk.
Milk is valued according to its content and cleanliness. The Payment per litre at the farm gate depends on four variables.
Butterfat, Protein, Hygeine, Mastitis.
Butterfat and Protein are the main human food content.
Hygeine Grade is done with a bacteria count, and can result in a deduction of up to 2p per litre
Cell Count is done to estimate the mastitis disease contamination of the milk. The measure, of cow white blood cells, can result in a deduction of up to 0.5p a litre.
If the cell count is too high, the dairy will not buy the milk. If any human pathogens are found, the milk is thrown away.
There has been a recent debate that a certain milk retailer pays least of all for its cows milk. The margin is only 0.1p over a competitor.
The Cell count categories are grades 1 to 4, Hygeine grade A to D.
The bacterial count can include bugs like strep B that do naot count as human pathogens, but can cause human death and disease, particularly in the newborn. There atre othen nasties in milk that bacterial count cannot detect, again some of these can be very nasty.
The question arises, is a low milk price paid by a retailer an acceptance that it is buying an inferior product, and if so how should consumers react?
The further question is, are some consumers being charged too much for poor quality milk, that cannot be distinguished from good quality milk on the label?

Rapid developments have taken place on vitamin D frontist campaign. I have established that vitamin D 10 is available at Holland/Barret. If you want to support a petition on vulnerable groups, particularly sarcoidosis please sign http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/vitDeffects/
I am launching a Shine on England campaign, reflecting important work being done in Scotland and have submitted a petition to Prime Minister I am quite upset that England have been shit on during the vitamin d campaign, so here it goes, lets try and put England first?
“We the undersigned petition the prime minister to help english people, by extending health action plans made in scotland south of the border, where relevant.
There have been some good health campaigns in Scotland, supported by their parliament. An example of this is Ryan Mclaughlins “Shine on Scotland” campaign about the benefits of vitamin D supplements.
We do not have a parliament for England, so campaigners cannot get as much support as Scotland over this kind of issue.
Please support my petition for scottish parliament health action ideas to be extended south of the border, if they could benefit english people.
Maybe health action plans in any country of the UK could be shared?
I await a decision on if this may be accepted, and will publish details in due course, but what is the Norway Spiral Light? Is it the second coming without angels?

National Association Colitis Crohns Newsletter number 60, after 3o years of shit this publication is a classic, and contains information about the channel islands you need to know! A great article, headed “Just how safe is milk” is followed by details of the benefits of mayors milk. I have been experimenting with my toilet to see if the freindly bacteria, claimed to be in yogurt, will clean it better than bleach, and a new vomit substitute Asda Power Toilet Gel, has come to my rescue, meanwhile over to my NACC newsletter big 60 report!
Uk crohns colitis charity NACC say that 240,000 people have IBD in the UK up from 120,000 last year. My estimate for crohns alone is 300,000, that generate 50,000 hospital admissions as admitted by NHS. Their website only puts crohns victims at 40,000, so who is right?
In a brave move the NACC have reviewed the evidence on MAP (Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis) with crohns, and they have concluded that a link is unproven.
The NACC milk bug includes 5 recommendations, and can be found on their website.
The one worth fighting for is for crohns victims to be tested for MAP on diagnosis. But all are worth campaigning for but the NACC as a charity do not seem to have an active campaigning wing?
Some aspects of their report are factually incorrect, an example of this is the part that nearly says that the Dairy industry throws away milk from animals showing physical signs of crohns disease.
The main physical sign of MAP infection in cows is diarrhoea, or scouring in farmer language!
Sadly, the main cause of the shits in dairy cows is the MAP bacterium. The recent DEFRA report regarding the number of dairy herds infected with the MAP, and the massive increase in crohns hospital admissions have not been reported to the IBD victims by the NACC.
The appropriate question to ask regarding the issue of sick cows, is probably “Is milk from dairy cows that have imperfectly formed motions thrown away?”
From memory we now have four separate reactions to the Johnes crisis.
a) NACC experts believe that the link between bacteria and crohns is unproven
b) Food Standards Agency have set aside evidence for the link, and on grounds of the precautionary principle, have produced a strategy to remove MAP from the Food Chain.
c) The DEFRA have, as part of the FSA strategy, published results of a survey of dairy herds that shows that about a third of them are infected with MAP.
d) Dairy UK, have as a result of the survey findings, decided to eliminate the MAP infection from the uk dairy herd.
Having read all the evidence, combined with personal experience of decision making, as a former councillor and 14 years experience of evaluating medical evidence on a tribunal, and being a current elected member as a consumer champion, believe that the following action needs to be taken.
1) retail milk should be tested for the MAP bacterium,
2) the extent of human infection by MAP should be established
3) Dairy Herds should be formed that are free of the MAP infection, and dairy products produced reserved for people with immune deficiencies, crohns susceptibility genes, and consumer choice.
As a conclusion to this post, I believe that MAP is a human pathogen, it does cause bowel disease in people, and it is time this subject gots some public debate because, if this thing mutates, we could well join the dinosaurs!
Commercial Break, ASDA power Toilet Gel contains human vomit substitute hydrochloric acid, this is recommended for people without stomach acid due to proton pump inhibiter poisoning.
The natural disinfection of your bog with substitute vomited stomach acid can be restored, also why not cut out the middle man and pour probiotic yakult down your shitter and crowd the MAP out.
Lets cut out the nasty chemicals, drugs, marketing and get back to good clean healthy food! Help campaign to stop farmers from feeding chicken manure to cows!

I opened a letter today, being in a hurry, did not notice it was for a fortunate woman who was to be informed the result of a breast cancer screening test.
When I was a councillor for cookridge, it emerged that our ward had the highest rate of breast cancer in Leeds. there were various theories, but receiving that letter this morning has triggered thoughts of a possible explanation. Wealthy upmarket areas are generally at higher risk than downmarket inner city slums like hunslet used to be.
Here in Cookridge, various things were done to launder the statistics, that are now impossible to get, but after campaigning for breast cancer screening here all those years ago, it is now being done, a victory with negative results . A new council ward was created, weetwood and its boundary goes through the two radiation towers, so any cancer mast excess would be divided equally between two wards.
Here comes the Cancer Crunch, it turns out that Vitamin D is protective against some environmental cancers, according to research done worldwide. I discovered this through research regarding my England Vitamin D Awareness Campaign 2010!
So what is my hypothosis regarding the Cookridge cancer statistics? Wealthy people tend to eat more butter than the poor people of hunslet. Down in hunslet the good old butter substitute margarine is king.
So why does this matter, cheap margarine is fortified with vitamin D that appears to offer protection against breast cancer. Cheapest Tesco margarine is 8.9p per 100 grams.
Up in posh cookridge, where radiation is free, people can easily afford butter, cheapest kerrygold pure irish at 37.6p/100 g.
So, an example of non neurotypical frontism, an adaption meant for poor people who could not afford butter, vitamin fortification, might be the explanation, and just adds to my campaigning effort, to make people aware of Vitamin D and the benefits of sunshine, and its unavailability at pharmacies!
Butter is relatively low in vitamin D compared to margarine and other spreads, in the USA all milk is fortified with vitamin D by law, as is margarine in England.

At the last minute the dp-pqfsbujwf and the establishment pulled it out of bag, my new cooker arrived at 1130. Just by accident, there was someone here, thanks!
Phoned dp-pq customer relations and thanked them, but there is a systems problem, the microwave is too heavy to lift using NERC rules, being over 20 kg. The Citylink driver commented, maybe big ball lifting syndrome risk?
But what is the Piper Alpha Syndrome? According to NERC, it is a situation where systems are perfect in theory but everyone is operating it to comply with the law. There is no safety culture because there is no ownership or of commitment to safety systems.
The remedy for this is continuing management commitment, leadership by example, involvement of staff in the assessment and operation of safety systems.
As a possible truce with the democrats, who are neither left or right, I phoned Cowley Street, where english party are, liberal democrats as opposed to english democrats, collectively called libel democrats by the wicked Mbcpvs party.
Tonight the Evening Post MP expenses showed our Greg Mulholland to be a number two, as blanch said in last words corrie hallelulu?
Number Two second home MP claim in Leeds £22,645.89! Further calculations need to be done to confirm the proctical award for the most creative reasons for spending so much in a constituency near me?
North East MP Fabian Hamilton takes some leads, but, a bentwood grammar school product, in my view is the best of the labour bunch in leeds, gets things sorted, and has survived a lot of hassle, number one in leeds second home claim at £22,956.48
Fabian could benefit from competition, maybe he will be a number two after the next election, but he could be a winner, as could Mulholland if he gets it together here in North Leeds?

Well, its the typical attitude of the retail trade, they dont really like customers, they are a nuisance and cause work challenges.
When I go in a shop, maybe an invisible light shines over their head that displays the sign “not another bloody customer”
In a continuing attempt to have a microwave combination cooker delivered in the time slot allocated, the undp-pqfsbujw have brought my delivery forward possibly by one hour to 0730 am to 12:00
Meanwhile in the milking the profits out of sick cows section, sacred cows with paratuberculosis are being culled and eaten, and pictures displayed on tv of warmed up undercooked bloody cow meat being socially acceptable to eat?
We need consumer issues on the agenda, and down at chemical cohens, it was possible to establish today that it is impossible for consumers to buy FSA RECOMMENDED vitamin d supplements.
oops, did not mean to shout, but public concerns versus public relations is out of balance now, and its fortunate that Hiv, Mad Cow, Ecoli, Lysteria, Syphilis, TB, Ebola, Strep B, Green Monkey, HPV, Helicobacter, campylobacter, got bad press!
Look out for Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis MAP, the shitting cow disease, have you been infected yet? Also Hepatitis E? Toxoplasmosis?
Better go and have a sandwich?

My cookers both failed, oven died, then sharp combi fan upper grill blew.
Comet would come out for about £3o each do a diagnosis, then its more quids and parts, and the whole thing was totally uneconomic. I took the option of ordering a comet panasonic, at £15o, that would do both jobs? I have a new neurotypic comms facilitator, but the Dp-pqfsbujwf came to the rescue.
I got a mail from my fnqmpufs , the Dp-pqfsbujwf, who are doing double staff discount on electricals so I looked it up.
I could buy a new sharp combination microwave, delivered friday morning, that had a specification identical to my tainted one, for a bargain price.
I went for it, but I was a bit worried about the old undead one so I telephoned helpline before putting order in.
I was told dp-qfsbujwf would recycle it for £9.99 take away packaging and all would be well friday morning.
This turned out to be a load of bollocks. When my order was confirmed i phoned their helpline about paying the recycling fee and was given the shock message that a courier was bringing my microwave, would not unpack it as dp-qf website promised, and there was no way that the old one would be removed. I found that the council would remove the old one, but it would have to be put at the end of my drive.
Also, because I put my order in straight away, I only get half of my double staff discount. Fortunately I have someone around here at 133o friday, who might be able to sort this out, I paid an extra £4.99 for 0830-1230 delivery, will this work?
The dp-pqfsbujwf helpline man did apologise, but I do not want bullshit, just a replacement microwave combination at a reasonable price, deliverered without hassle, and the old one recycled without me having to risk a further heart attack by dragging it up my drive, leaving it lying about and risking environmental abuse by neighbours.

My New Scientist did not turn up last week so I bought one in ASDA. On page 18 it is reported that the disabilities of A and S may be the two sides of the same coin. Both A & S were both supposed to be S, but like I concluded in a previous blog, researchers have found that genetic evidence suggests that the duplication and depletion are significant.
The results fit with other evidence that autism might be caused by overdevelopment of specific brain regions and schizophrenia by underdevelopment, according to crespi!
Ok any brain experts looking in, these polar opposites, have a serious effect on survival of an individual, and point towards a common cause, outside genetics, of an environmental factor. Are both A & S genetically mediated responses to Tox, and disability cleansing by felines?

My question was answered today by FSA Board. I had planned to travel today by train to ask it in person, but having a bad cold, watched it on internet.
The meeting at Aviation House, was a web broadcast. My question about vitamin d was not read out, but someone else asked something very similar. Scientists in USA on www.grassroots.org are warning that low vitamin d can increase breast cancer and disease risk. What are the FSA doing?
The answer was reasurance, that in the event is not supported by scientific evidence. Another health scandal? FSA believe that most people get all the vitamin D from diet and sun.
The FSA Board answer referred to an Advisory Committee on Nutrition report. The report that I have found on their web site, dated 2007, concludes that “A significant proportion of the UK population have low vitamin D status”. Of particular concern to pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, the elderly and black and ethnic minority groups.
This needs further investigation, and if it is possible for the scottish government to do something about it, as recently announced, so should an english authority.
This will make quite a good campaign and as a person who had vitamin d deficiency as a child, might get listened to!

Here in England we get a lot less sunshine than we should. This and all the smoke and cloud mean many people get a vitamin D deficiency!
Up in scotland, where the sun shines less and they have to wear more clothes, there has been a campaign recently through scottish parliament, who have agreed an awareness campaign, this is good, but here in England?
I sent a question to Food Standards Board by E Mail, I was going to go on 8/12 but i got the snots,nasty cold.
Here it is ” In the USA and some other countries milk is fortified with vitamin D. In England it is not. Evidence shows that reduced sunlight, global cloudyness, and northern latitudes, might be causing vitamin d deficiency, that could enhance chronic illness.
Incidence of crohns disease and multiple sclerosis have increased, that might be helped by vitamin d supplements, scottish parliament action is noted!
Is the Food Standards Agency prepared to extend the scottish awareness campaign about vitamin d deficiency to england and the rest of the UK?
Will Foodstandards answer, report tomorrow!

Will things get better? Maybe its time to have a christmas truce? Sent Olive Branch to Lib Dems and Eng Dem. At christmas when campaigners have a rest and pretend to be normal, people can plan revolutions,
The news recently made public is the assertion that “All Cats Have Aspergers Syndrome” as a person who once stood for election as a candate called “Cat Procter” this is a bit of a worry.
Meanwhile, down at Microbiological Safety, they have a sinister faction called “The Ad Hoc committee on vulnerable groups”
At the recent ACMSF I identifed AD HOC members and reminded them that following a recent presentation on toxoplasmosis, I had asked if their members who had an affinity for cats could declare an interest, and maybe all people involved in food safety issues should be tested for it.
One member liked cats, I like people that like cats but I dont like cats?
Lets have a months holiday from microbacterial campaigning?

After the shock of meeting three Gordon Brown supporters in one place on saturday, further details have emerged about the labour campaign to finish off local pensioners with false hopes and low interest rates on savings.
Why not tell the Mbcpvs team what you think about government efforts to make cancer victims to get back to work for their benefits, make people pay for social care by a new con trick called direct payments, get neighbours to spy on each other in exchange for money?
You can contact Labour on nigel@leedsnwlabour.co.uk 07912550017 or judith@leedsnwlabour.co.uk 01943462419
Please never vote Mbcpvs again, they pretend to be politically correct for promotion prospects, but they piss in the same pot as the tories, and are driven by greed and taxing english people, to pay for their barmy attempts to get support in scotland, wales and Ireland. By throwing our taxes about.
Will there ever be an english parliament?

Just got my Lib Dem membership card out that expires on 31/3/2010.
It says “The Liberal Democrats exist to build a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.”
I am still waiting to see if the liberal version of the democrats, can include me within their decision making people, the EC and if not will make the assumption that my political uncorrectness as being english, exposing councillor allowances enhancements, have been taken into account. ?

I went to brief my MP Greg Mulholland, regarding the Johnes crisis. He was sat with Liberal Democrat Adel Candidate in milk rich ASDA.
Labour Candidate Campaigner, Nigel Gill was outside, an airport worker, his plane truth leaflet was to me an insult, and when he asked me what council provision for youths in the area was good, I told him it was the 96 bus, after all I said, the wicked labour party have been in government too long, and in Leeds there are more Labour councillors than any other, so any Labour candidate is a failure if they say anything wrong about themselves.
Nigel Gill also goes on about buses. Its a pity his mates up at the airport have an exclusive taxi contract, where unfortunate CO2 plane polluters pay an extra 30% taxi fare for no obvious reason?
It was good to meet the labour candidate, who I advise people not to vote for, because a vote for him supports Judith Blake.
Who appears to create more problems than Labour can solve?
A vote for any of the main parties in Leeds North West supports their success in claiming allowances, are some the most expensive councillors in a Leeds Constituency?
According to Cllr Judith Blake “I came into politics to be a local champion” but she represents Middleton Park, miles away? I have sent a couple of mails to Judith Blake , she does not answer yet.
Labour Campaigner Nigel Gill, says he wants to be in easy reach, is so, why is there no contact details for him on the big labour leaflet?
Meanwhile us Lib Dems had an action day, I have a heavy cold, so I thought I would miss the party fun at Wainwrong House.
Greg Mulholland heard my report about the Johnes, and it was good to be able to talk to a few people about my unpolitical theories.
I have offered my services to the Liberal Democrats as an Executive Comittee member, I am waiting for an answer and developments on the Johnnes crisis to decide if I have to resign from backist politics in 2010?

It was a great around trip, started in Fox n Hounds at 1800 Wednesday. Met some nice people, including John the intoxicated, who was going to Trinty all Saints letcher. then 1910 train to leeds, then 1940 to london. Used phone to val and got told off by quiet doctor, then got locked in toilet.
Hotel was good at KX. then 91 bus to foodstandards at aviation house. Report 2 follow. The Food Standards Agency is being abolished quietly and building taken over by Hofstead.
Meeting finished, 91 free bus to KX, then train, all ok till Uncleham. Beginning of suicide alley. Notice person in agitated condition near tracks opposite. It then made a run up the stairs and got a late entry to my train, concerned I went to investigate. Person was slightly injured, on leg due to collision with another. Told me it happened because of a ticket misunderestanding.
Further toilet visit, then noise of both doors being attempted to being opened, then resumed seat.
Train stopped a few minutes later, a door malfunction they said. On investigation the train had central door locking, and this was to stop persons falling out, but persons had not fallen out, but driver was alerted to the attempt.
Train delayed 20 mins, alerted guard to possible suicide risk, she would keep an eye out. When guard went away, decided to have a chat with a person, who stayed on train to Leeds.
Due to totally unsatisfactory meeting, to be reported after discussing with MP Greg Mulholland, and a stressy journey, decided to book another journey to london next week, for reasons to be revealed. After all, if you fall off a bike and dont get back on, you never might?
One of my former colleagues on the railway aged 60 died on the tracks in leeds on monday, he never got to retire, a loss for our railway pensioners group?

The report is 250 pages long, how anyone can be expected to read and digest it before the meetings on thursday, I have no idea!
Practically nobody knows what the shitting cow disease is, including many farmers. Many farmers who were given a chance to have their herds surveyed refused. Report is very detailed and comprehensive and although the findings appear to be better than expected, it is based on a survey done in 2007!
Researchers examined cow blood, shit, milk and the environment. The overall result is horrendous and its hardly surprising that the dairy companies are taking the issue serious at last and arranging a conference , to discuss this serious disease.
They have found MAP DNA in about 30% of milk samples, and we must remember that this organism is a human pathogen, has infected up to 15% of us humans, and can cause a number of infections, particularly in children and immune deficient people.
The executive summary contains this statement “This survey was not intended to support or refute speculation with respect to any role of MAP in crohns disease. However, should evidence be found of such a link these results would be important if any risk assessment were required.”
I think my attitude to the problem is fairly straightforward, I have looked at as much evidence I can regarding the possibility that at least some cases of crohns disease are caused by the shitting cow bug MAP. I believe that MAP, as a human pathogen can and does cause human infection, including crohns.
It is one of our human wrongs, we can believe what we like but obviously I cannot go around telling people why they are ill, only their doctors can do that.
What I can do is to make as many people as possible about the issue, and campaign for dairy products and meat from MAP free cows for people who want it. This is a fundamental right given by simple old law like the sale of goods act.
I want to be able to buy milk products I have confidence in, and produced by animals that are not suffering from a fatal, incurable disease that cannot be treated.
I have no idea what will happen next. A major food scare could develop over the next few days, and Food Standards Agency are considering the issue, so watch this space!
In 2008 the fact that milk was to be tested prompted action by dairies who increased pasteurisation time in a bid to defeat MAP. Will this happen again now, despite years of government action to get MAP out of cows, it is still there! If a bug could laugh, MAP would be hysterical if it knew the catalogue of errors by the daft labour government had made on this subject.
Save our bowels and and make the cows happy, get MAP off the farm now!
