Bham-y
So, I have noticed lately a lot of my blogs haven't been weight-related. Does anyone know of a good site where I could just do a regular blog, in addition to my blog here?
I know of several but it seems to be hit-and-miss whether you make friends on them, and the friendship element is what I like so much about EP. I'd be grateful for ideas 
.
On that note...here is another blog completely unrelated to weight issues 
.
I had to laugh the other day at the eejits in my home city of Birmingham.
For those of you in the US, that's Birmingham, England (our second largest city), not Birmingham, Alabama.
You could easily be forgiven for not knowing that.
But the same can't really be said for the leaders of Birmingham itself, can it?
This summer, Birmingham City Council learned the people of the city had met their recycling targets a full year early.
They wanted to let everyone know.
So they printed up 720,000 leaflets.
They posted one out to every household.
Well, naturally, some bright spark was going to notice.
Yep.
The picture on the front was of the wrong city.
Some whizz at the council had Googled himself up a lovely pic of Birmingham, AL.
To make things worse, the fools decided to try and cover it up.
By declaring the picture was just of a 'generic skyline meant to symbolise an urban area'.
Ahhhh. I see. It wasn't meant to be Birmingham - any Birmingham - at all.
Pure coincidence.
Hmm. That was going to fly.
I couldn't help but notice, though, there was one aspect of this story that was ignored by the press.
It is here, I feel, that the true idiocy lies.
Birmingham City Council decided to recognise city residents' hard work in recycling...by printing out three quarters of a million bits of paper 
.
Who on earth thought up that idea?
