So as if it not enough to have Penelopy at the bottom of the drive with her friend Majory ogling my male guests (think she must be a bit short sighted), Rolph Harris pestering me from down under about my sleeping arrangements, and Felicity Kendall getting all precious in the vegetable patch - we now [...]

In case you did not know, we now have a ‘climate camp’ at Blackheath. For the next week activists will occupy the south London park and demonstrate to us all how we are collectively destroying the planet by taking too many showers. We are promised lectures, workshops and oh so many good things.
Personally I cannot [...]

So Oxford University have admitted to downgrading A level results achieved by private school pupils to bias entrance towards those coming from the state system. What arrogance! Should not our system be a meritocracy where everybody is given an equal chance of a place at university irrespective of whether they are rich or poor, black [...]

The NHS is manifestly inefficient and exhibits the most incredible level of incompetency. Whilst individuals caught up in this strange institution often display great commitment and a real desire to help [...]

There has been an overwhelming response to my recounting of my meeting with the parrot and the incredible significance this event has for the fauna and flora of the British Isles. The sighting of parrots in the Marches is a new occurance - previously only as far west as Windsor. If they go any further [...]

Well if you rushed out today you could enjoy the ‘barbecue summer’ we were promised. It has certainly been hot as the guys fixing new aerials crawling through our sprawling loft would tell you. But will it last? - I doubt it. Meanwhile we have two bees nests and a wasps nest in the house [...]

So Urban Eric is off down under. It just shows how the egalitarian policies of the Labour Government have benefited the common non-working man. It is really good to see us all in society clubbing together to pay the level of benefits that enable Urban Eric to get away from the hoodies and sit in [...]

Apparently Mandy’s now in charge of the country, having taken over from Harriet who has gone off for a well earned rest (wonder if it is a one way ticket). But Mandy is so talented he is running everything from his sun lounger in Corfu.
Expect dazzling policy initiatives and hosts of super new ideas. Not [...]
