Premium Bonds.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away 3 years ago.
She had nothing other than her house, and was always refused help from the state when asked for, as she had a very small private pension left to her by my dad, and therefor didn't qualify for bugger all. (she was a very proud lady, lived from month to month, went without, and would never accept any financial help from me, my brother, or sister!)
She once told me "I want to live long enough to get a free TV licence out of those bastards!" and who could blame her?

Unfortunately, she sadly passed away aged 74, a year too soon.

Once her affairs had been sorted out, my brother, sister, and I, inherited her estate.
Not a fabulous amount, so we didn't pay inheritance tax.

Because I can't trust this or any other Government to look after me in my old age as they should have done her, I decided to invest it for my old age. I thought it wouldn't be right to invest her money somewhere where I would have to pay 40% tax on the profits to the Government, only for them to squander it on their professional scroungers and White Elephants. After all, they were too busy looking after them, rather than look after her while she was alive, so why should I want her to keep paying for them from the grave!

So I opted for Premium Bonds.

At the time that I invested, Premium Bonds advertised that with average luck, a maximum investment of £30,000 should give around 15 wins in a year. A fair risk I thought, good odds, and the original investment safe.
So I invested £20,000, and in 18 months received what I thought was a reasonable return (and no tax forms to fill out!)
So what happened?
Gordon (Dracula) Brown decided we were all making too much money out of it, and so tampered with the odds!
Since then, my winnings have been derisary!

Thanks Gordon! You obviously don't have any yourself!

Why is it that the working mans party (Labour?) cant stand to see it's voters with a bit of cash in their pockets?
He was the working mans enemy as Chancellor, and will be just as bad as a PM!
I always thought that working for my money would pay dividends.
Instead, I'm punish for it!
Now I wish I hadn't bothered, and joined the very clever scrounging culture!

Your ever loving Worm..........................................

Another crap week!

As usual, I've been reading the papers, and listening to the news on the TV and radio this week, hoping that the Government will announce something that they are going to do FOR me.

As usual, all I've seen and heard, is what they're going to do TO me!

And they want me to vote for them?

The idiots!

Gordon Brown has two years to turn things round for Labour, but somehow, I don't think he will.

The Worm.....................................

The 2012 Olympics logo! (2)

So, adding insult to injury, we find that the TV ads using flashing images for the Olympics on TV can cause epileptic fits for viewers!

Yet another cock up!

I read the Daily Mail today, and saw some really great, and more suitable logos for this very important event, that could have been submitted to the world.

What I want to know, is who was responsible for the final stupid decision, who's palms were greased, and who will compensate the tax payer for this gross miss use of public funds and failure to deliver,and is dumped! (we'll probably pay a million for its replacement! but who cares, as it's only yours and my hard earned money that will fund it!)

Lord Coe proudly presented this abortion to the country.

Lord Coe?

Why Lord Coe?

All that pratt did was to run faster than anyone else at the time!
Hardly a qualification for a Lordship me thinks, and obviously not a validation of his judgement and common sense!

Someone has to be held responsible, and got rid of for wasting £400,000 of our money!

Your infuriated Worm......................................................

The 2012 Olympic logo!

Have you seen it?

What an absolute abortion!

It has just cost you and I just over £400,000 to create something that a gorrilla with a paintbrush might have knocked up!

And you wonder why I get so angry about the way this Government spends the money that you and I have been forced to give to them!

As usual, this Government will make my country the laughing stock of the world! (that's something they always seem to get right 1st time!)

My 5 year old grandson could do better for a fiver!

Your ever despairing Worm....................................

David Beckham.

So should David Beckham be given a knighthood?

In my opinion, NO!

What has he done to deserve it?

He has made an absolute fortune being talented enough to play the game that he loves. That is not a job! It's a joy!

An OBE or MBE for services to football maybe, but a knighthood for services to himself, I don't think so!

He already lives like a lord, but why should we give him the title to go with it?

I can't think of one reason!

The Worm.........................................

Good news?

So when did this, or any other Government for that matter, last make an announcement that made you feel happy?

In the whole of my 58 years, I'm still waiting for the first time, let alone the last!

The Worm.......................................

The smoking ban!

So what next?

If we all stopped smoking tomorrow, the country would be in dire trouble!

Yes, I am a smoker!

The Government happily takes my duty on cigarettes, but makes me a pariah!

That would mean extreme taxation on all of you condecending pious non smokers.

So serves you right!

So what can we tax next I wonder?

A breathing tax?
A farting tax?
A sex tax?
A right to live tax?
A happiness tax?
A thought tax?
A daylight tax?
A night tax?
An imagination tax?
A revival of the window tax?
A tax tax?

Who knows which civil liberty you and I are going to lose next?

Your very very unhappy Worm....................................
