The petition, raised by the BVA, was an attempt to stop slaughter without stunning, which is the current method used in halal (Muslim) and shechita (Jewish) meat industry.

It’s Over!
Ok it’s over. We can all get our breath back again. Just another 12 months to wait for it to start up once more. Not long to go. I had a lovely Christmas spent with family. Playing games and eating a really nice dinner. Lots of chocolates going round. And bloody awful TV! Apart fromContinue reading “It’s Over!”
Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings
Well it’s the time of year for spending again. Get your pay early so you can spend it on family and friends and loads of food that you don’t need, but the compost bin will enjoy. That sounds a bit miserable doesn’t it? But it’s true! Those of us enjoying a celebration at this timeContinue reading “Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings”
Call Centre Explodes!
I’m reading a book about making money on the internet. One section deals with blogs and suggests increasing readership with dramatic headlines. Hence today’s headline. It isn’t actually true. The call centre hasn’t exploded. But did it grab attention? Did it increase curiosity? It’s the type of thing that newspapers use to get reader attention.Continue reading “Call Centre Explodes!”
Back To Work Tomorrow
I’ve had a lovely week off but it’s back to work tomorrow. Don’t want to go in! I’ve had so much to do at home and I’ve not finished. I started the painting in the bedroom. I’ve done about 1/3 of it so far. I’ve also been moving furniture upstairs and going through a lotContinue reading “Back To Work Tomorrow”
Back To The Grind
Just been on holiday, but it’s back to the grind on Monday. Had a lovely week down Somerset but couldn’t get any internet connection. Went on one of those cheap Sun holidays at a well known park. Great for kids. Entertainment is great for the kids. The adult entertainment is also more suitable for theContinue reading “Back To The Grind”

Here’s a list of some of the more common rude mannerisms. 1) The Hollywood Actor We’ve all seen the films where some actor or another has to use the phone. TheyContinue reading “Phone Etiquette Part 1”
Putting On Weight
I’ve put on a few pound working at the call centre. Actually it’s a bit more than a few. The frequent buffets we have don’t help. We seem to have one to celebrate anything and everything, whether it’s a religious festival, a birthday, a leaving, an engagement, absolutely anything will do as an excuse toContinue reading “Putting On Weight”
Money Raising For Charity
One of my colleagues is currently raising money for a charity helping the widows and orphans in Syria. She organised a day last week to sell samosas, spring rolls, and raffle tickets. I helped, along with two other colleagues. The four of us spent the whole day walking around the site raising money. We didn’tContinue reading “Money Raising For Charity”
Work Canteen
We have a canteen at work, in the main building, that offers a good selection of food. It’s an outside catering company, and the food is subsidised by our company. It’s hard for me to admit this, but we are spoilt really. In the building that I work in, which is a few minutes walkContinue reading “Work Canteen”
