Looney Toones “In the good old daze, the nutter population used to think they were Napoleon and master of the world. Now, they think they're going to be the British prime minister. Shrinking horizons . . .”
 
There is still no F in Brexit thanks to the Westminster Wonders—but Prime Monster Boris is doing his best to ram it up the humbuggers!

 


 WEEK 1 

 
CFL logoSuper Saturday #1: The Eskimos in the wet nation's capital. Both defences held up well in the first quarter and the first points were from a FG kicked by the Redblacks in the 14th minute. The Eskimo offense did some spluttering in the second quarter. The visitors managed a rouge from a punt and Whyte kicked a 50 yard FG in the 14th minute for 4-3. Stopping the Redblacks quickly gave Whyte another shot from 47 yards, 7-3 at half time.
    The Esks battered to the Ottawa 1 in their Q3 opener, went for it on 3rd & 1 and goal; TD for Kilgore, 14-3. The RB defence struggled in Q3 but a drive in to Q4 produced another FG from Ward, 14-6. A deep pass to Rhymes, DPI by the Esks and the RBs advanced to the Edmonton 1. TD Ottawa, +2, 14-all with 6 minutes to go. 4 minutes left, a 51-yard bomb from Kilgore to Daniels at the RB 20, on to a TD for Smith in goal with double coverage! 21-14.
   The RBs went out on downs and the Esks had to eat 1:46. They got rid of the final 6 seconds when Ellingson ran back to his goal from the EE 35 and off the field to end the game with a safety, 21-16 final.

shifty-eyed skullAny old excuse to put prices up
A very nominal reduction in the amount of alcohol consumed in Scotland—just a few per cent—is being seized upon as an excuse for pushing for a minimum unit price for booze south of the border.
    The humbugs are useless at delivering the will of the people on Brexit but sticking a hand in other people's pocket? That's their territory.

Far Queue symbol The Luvvie Lobby is making a big deal out of denying that a non-white TV presenter on the BBC payroll could possibly have shown rachel bias. The Luvvies claim that even thinking that she could is a breach of impartiality, BBC-style.

Rotting from the head down
The waxworks in charge of the sorry shambles which used to be the British Army think male soldiers should be required to wear face make-up in the interests of inclusivity and diversity.
    The current Defence Sec. thinks camouflage is the only face paint that blokes should wear but he is thought to be too wimpy to consider putting one of the waxworks in front of a firing squad 'pour encourage les autres'.
    To their credit, senior army officers who could find themselves in the firing line in the event of war are treating the idea as an early arrival of April First.

More Lefty Lunatics for the police to whitewash
If indeed 130,000 people did die as a result of government austerity measures, as the Institute for Pub Policy Res claims, then these loony lefties put their hissy banner with the dangling corpse replicas in the wrong place. It should have been outside Gordon F. Broon's house, not in Salford, as he was the idiot who maxed out the nation's credit card and forced the austerity measures on the next regime, which had to pick up the pieces after he had been thrust in to the dustbin of history.

The politics of desperation
Bremoaners, led by sacked Chancellor P. Hammond, the PM's gullible sister and the fiscally incompetent J. McDowell, are heading toward their Plan Z.
    Fellow Bremoaners at the Financial Times have trashed the conspiracy theory that Brexit is being run by hedge fundamentalists out to make a fortune from No Deal, but even the mighty brains at the FT will struggle with Plan Z.
    As these conspirators are aliens, there is nothing tangible for anyone to challenge and trash. Brilliant, or what!

reader comment“It is very revealing to watch middle-aged women with jobs in the meeja fawning over Greenhouse Greta, who has a severe case of teenage inability to evaluate the information she's been fed by Warmists.
    “Pretending to take her seriously and showing feminine solidarity and a maternal attitude is all very well, but it does the credibility of the ladies involved no good at all. Greta is a child, not an expert on anything at all, and she should be treated as such before her sense of entitlement gets any bigger.
    “Unless, of course, everyone is building her up now so that when the wheels come off her career as Saviour of The Planet, the crash will be all the more spectacular.” G.P.

Another one who's not much cop
The Chief Con of the failed Cleveland police farce has been in place only since April. The cosmetic Police & Crime Commish for the area, one B. Coppinger (Lab.), has no such excuse. He has been in place for 7 years, he presided over the collapse and he intends to go on drawing his £70K wages as he is also in 'not me, Gov' mode.

Maybe they're just parasites
We are continually being lectured that microplastic particles are everywhere and they could, might, just maybe wipe out all life on The Planet by acting as a vehicle which will let all sorts of oooh-nasty bugs and things invade the human and other bodies.
    This totally ignores the state of affairs before plastics were invented. The world is awash with microparticles of dust. Little bits from rocks, from plants, from insects, from bones, from the animals which made the bones, from artefacts created by insects and animals, bits of hair, bits of hide, etc., etc.
    All of the bits can provide vehicles for enterprising bacteria, viruses and bad bugs of all descriptions. Plastics might be organic but so are the bits from plants, animals and insects. Which means that throwing a wobbly about microplastics won't save The World.
    But hey! Saving The Planet is the last thing on the minds of most wobblers. They're interested only in having taxpayers' cash tossed in their direction.

CFL logo Even more Super Saturday: Bear Woods looks like a forest with that hair and a tackle by him held the visiting Roughriders to a FG from their opener in Toronto. Walker went 42 yards to the SK 8, just a FG for the Argos, 3-all after 10 minutes. Lotz of D in to Q2. Moore got the first major for the Riders after 9 minutes, 10-3. A FG put the visitors 13-3 ahead and they stopped the Argos with a pick at 00.
    Evans squeaked a TD in the 5th minute of Q3, 20-3. Fajardo rushed for one in the 11th minute, 27-3. A long FG try missed in the last minute. Finally, an Argo TD for S.J. Green in the 6th minute, 27-10. Boom! At long last, Arceneaux got a TD as a Rider from a 55-yard pass, 34-10, 6 minutes to go.
    The first play of a drive by the Argos ended in a pick to their 12. TD for Bennett, the back-up QB, on the next play, 41-10. Green reached the SK 1 on a 3rd & 14 from the SK 20, TD for Franklin, no +2, 41-16. 1:51 left. The Argos fielded a short kick off, Franklin was sacked for the 6th time and it was all defence to the end. Oh, dear, the Argos are really struggling.

CFL logo Super Saturday #3: The Alouettes in Vancouver; no Adams coz he's been a bad boy. Bowman sacked BC 2 & out. Shiltz got the Als to the red zone, FG, 3-0. A pick by Bowman stopped BC in FG range but Shiltz fumbled when sacked, the Lions grabbed the ball and went on to a FG. 3-all in the 10th minute.
    Lotz more D in to Q2. Sack 101 for Willis on Shiltz, Bowman again on Reilly. What have the Lions got for 2nd & 29? Not much. BC kicked a FG with 50 seconds left, sent the Als packing and kicked another FG to close the half at 3-9.
    The Als started Q3 at their 13 but a wide open Lewis took a 97-yard TD pass! 10-9 in the first minute. 3rd & 38? BC punted. Shiltz to the BC 1, Pipkin on for a TD, 17-9. BC got moving, reached the MTL 18 on DPI, TD for Burnham, no +2, 17-15. Durant went 61 yards to the MTL 14 after defender Jones crashed in to an official!, White in for a TD in Q4, 17-22.
    A pick by Edwards stopped the Als. Holding restricted BC to a FG, 17-25 after 4 minutes. Two runs by Shiltz got the Als from the BC 28 to the 7, and Shiltz had a walk-in TD. No +2, 23-25, 6 minutes to go. Carter got gobby; minus 10 yards. A 50 yard BC FG try was blocked! 2 minutes left. Willis drew a roughing flag, Stanback from the BC 51 to the 11, MTL on to the 2 and out on downs there!! 1 minute left. A flag for DPI gave the Lions a first down and the win. Phew! Some leads are safe!

CFL logo Friday Nite Football: the Eskimos in Hamilton, where the Tigercats started with a TD for Speedy B, +2, 0-8. The Esks stalled at the TC 8, FG, 3-8. A TC drive in to Q2 produced a FG, 3-11. A daft pass by Kilgore was picked off but the Cats got nothing from it. Their next drive produced a TD for Acklin, +2, 3-19 with 7 minutes left until half time.
    The Esks kicked a FG 6 minutes in to Q3, 6-19. A sack by the Esks saved the Cats from having to come up with a 2nd & 24 play. They kicked a FG after 11 minutes and closed the quarter with another at 6-25.
    Finally, a TD for the Eskimos 3 minutes in to Q4, no +2, 12-25. Another TD for the Cats, no +2, 12-31. A 1st down sack by the Cats was followed by a defensive TD from a tipped pass on 2nd down; another daft pass by Kilgore; +2, 12-39. How bad would it get for Edmonton fans? 12-42 and the Cats, with 12 wins, have to be Grey Cup favourites.

Arbuckle had to make a 3rd down, then he had a TD pass dropped in goal! Jackson held on to the ball, 7-all in the 13th minute. The CS closed Q1 with a 68-yard pass play to the MTL 4, but were held to a FG in Q2, 10-7.
    The Stamps missed a FG try 5 minutes in to Q2 but Mitchell fired a TD pass to goal in the 10th minute, 17-7. He was intercepted with 1:50 to go and the Als got a FG from it, 17-10, 54 seconds left. The Stamps fumbled the ball away but the Als failed to do anything with the turnover.
    The Stamps were sent 2 & out to start Q3 and their punt was returned for a TD by Alford! 17-all. The Stamps fumbled the ball away in the MTL red zone; no damage. Another fumble recovery by the Als, 2 & gone again. Defences were doing a grand job! The Als closed Q3 with a punt for a rouge, 17-18.
    More defence in Q4. When the Als got motoring, they blew up on a 3rd &1 at the CS 17 with 4 minutes to go. Bowman felled Mitchell for his 134th career sack. The Als kicked a FG for 17-21 with 2:14 left. The Stamps were sent out on downs with 46 seconds left and the Als hung on for a win which puts them in the playoffs.

A big pass play got the Cowboys to FG range; a sack took them out of it. Jones took GB to the red zone, another TD from 3 yards out, 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.
    GB did nothing with another pick. They kicked a FG after being stopped at the DC 1 for 17-0 with 2:19 to go until half time. A FG try by Dallas missed. Jones scored another TD for GB in the 6th minute of Q3, 24-0. The Cowboys looked threatening but they were sacked to a FG after 9 minutes, 24-3. The Pack reached the DC 1, another TD for Jones, 31-3 in the 12th minute.
    More or less by accident, a TD for Gallup after 13 minutes, 31-10. GB went 3 & out. The Dallas coach was done for throwing a challenge flag in an unsporting manner! The Cowboys made their 1st & 25 easily and drove in to Q4. A false start saved them from fumbling the ball away! But they were picked in the GB goal on the next play—but flags everywhere on GB. TD for Dallas, 31-17.
    The Pack were sacked to a punt but picked off the first DC play and got a FG out of it, 34-17. Bang! Cooper through Swiss cheese for a TD after 7 minutes, 34-24.

Sunday Nite Football: the Raiders in Green Bay. The OR slashed to scoring range on the ground; held to a FG. GB were done out of a big play by a premature whistle, but Jones took a 21-yard TD pass anyway. 3-7. The Raiders blew a challenge against their own OPI, punt. The Raiders carved through Swiss cheese into Q2, lost a TD to holding but went on to a TD for Moreau, 10-7 in the 4th minute.
    Bad penalty on GB, jersey-tugging by OR, GB to their 3, TD for Williams, 10-14 in the 12th minute. Two plays got the OR to the GB 3 @ the 2 minute warning. Carr fumbled into the end zone diving for the pylon!! Touch-back. Kumerow scored a stretch-out TD for the Pack with 12 seconds left, 10-21 at half time.
    Scantling got GB to the OR red zone from the 1st play of Q3, Allison dived for the pylon but was out of bounds at the 3, a rushing TD for Rodgers instead of his 250th TD pass, 10-28. A solid drive by the Raiders went to a TD for Waller, 17-28. Graham scored a TD the other way after 13 minutes, 17-35. The OR were stopped on a 4th & 1 in Q4. GB went 3 & punt. They stopped the Raiders with an end zone pick after 7 minutes. A 74 yard TD pass to Scantling, 17-42. The Raiders managed a consolation TD, 24-42 final.

CFL logo It's Saturday Nite and the Redblacks were in Hamilton where the defences were in charge. The RBs opened the scoring with a FG, the Ticats replied with a TD but no +2, 3-6. Then they made a short kick off work! That set up a FG 3 minutes in to Q2 and 3-9.
    A fake punt by the RBs worked but they had to punt for real after holding. Blocking a TC punt set up a FG in the 13th minute, 6-9. Ward kicked a 56-yarder for 9-all, leaving the Cats with a minute to retake the lead, 9-12 at half time.
    Fierce defence to start Q3. A pick in goal by the RBs? No, the Cats were allowed to go on to a TD, 9-19 after 8 minutes. The RBs kicked a FG in the 13th minute and Speedy B scored a 60-yard TD in the last minute of Q3 for 12-26.
    A huge pass to Addison got the Cats to the RB 17 in Q4 but a 17-yard FG try missed for a rouge. 12-27. The next TC FG worked, and so did another in the last minute. 12-33 final and the Tigercats have won 13 matches in a season for the first time ever—with 2 weeks to go.

CFL logo Friday Nite Football started with the Argos in Montreal, where the Alouettes spluttered and kicked a FG. The Argos made a stand at the end of Q1 but the Als kept going into Q2 to a TD for Posey, 0-10. Both sides managed a FG for 3-13. Bethel-Thompson let himself be sacked in the last minute and a 50 yard Argo FG try was tipped and missed.
    The Argos scored a TD half-way through Q3, and another good drive produced a TD for S.J. Green after 13 minutes, 17-13. Who woke the Als up? A 45-yard TD for Johnson in Q4, 17-20. Then one for Bray, 17-27.
    The Argos battled back to a TD for Worthy, 24-27, 1:14 to go. The Als went 2 & punt. The Argos had 25 seconds to get to FG range from their 5. A FG try from the MTL 44 went . . . wide right.

CFL logo FNF #2. The Lions, minus Mike Reilly, could expect a kicking from the visiting Roughriders, who are contenders, according to the form book. But the first score came in the last minute of Q1; a FG by BC. One from Lauther a couple of minutes in to Q2 made it 3-all.
    Another FG put BC 3-6 ahead. Recovering a forced fumble set up a spectacular one-handed catch for Burnham with a foot down in goal? Nope, foot on the white—an obvious swindle! Boooo! FG for the Lions instead, 3-9. A TD for SK in the 14th minute but the convert missed. 9-all. O'Brien fumbled when sacked in the last minute, giving SK . . . a FG, 12-9.
    A TD then two FGs put the riders 21-9 ahead in Q3. They kicked another FG in the first minute of Q4, 24-9. Sack/fumble, SK ball, another FG, 27-9. BC kicked a FG after 7 minutes, 27-12. Burnham battled into the SK goal for a cosmetic TD in the 13th minute, 27-19. The Riders fielded a short BC kick off. They were stopped but BC had too far to go to score again.

Pillock Politics or “Pass the sick bag, Alice!”
We had a glimpse this week of the thinking behind the politics of envy, which Labour relies on so heavily. The Poll Tax, according to the former Chancellor's son, was 'unfair' because a couple living in inner London could be paying 20% of their net income compared with a wealthy couple in the suburbs paying just 1% of their net income as Poll Tax.
    Both couples, of course, would be paying the same actual amount of cash for their council's services.
    Strangely enough, the same sort of percentage differential in terms of available income applies to Council Tax. But that piece of information is never deployed as an argument against a property-based tax.

CFL logo Finally, the Bombers in Calgary. A bomb from Mitchell to the BB 34, 2 & FG. One back by the Bombers after 10 minutes, 3-all. The Stamps replied with a TD for Begelton, +2, 3-11. The BB kicked a FG in Q2, then a scoop & score by Sales of the defence after 3 minutes, 13-11.
    W. Rose made a pick @ the CS 25, TD for Whitehead, 20-11. Begelton took a 21 yard TD pass, +2, 20-19. The Bombers sent Lawler in to the goal on a 2nd & 1 play, 27-19 with 2 minutes to half time.
    A pick by the Stamps in first minute of Q3 gave them a FG, 27-22. FG for the BB after 7 minutes, 30-22. A TD +2 got the Stamps to 30-all. The BB kicked a FG 2 minutes in to Q4, Begelton took his 3rd TD pass, 33-37. Streveler was dinged and went off for a while. The Stamps bogged a FG try. The Bombers had 36 seconds to score a TD to win. Didn't happen.

No surprise that Mercedes and Ferrari, the teams most likely to produce a Formula One champion, grotted all over the idea of binning the present qualifying system in favour of a sprint race with those highest in the driver's championship starting at the back. It's the sort of Mickey Mouse stuff you expect from minor events, not something that's supposed to be top of the calendar.

CFL logo We're having another Super Saturday in Week 20, starting with the Redblacks in Toronto. A TD for Edwards after 9 minutes put the Argos 0-7 up. Lots of defence. A RB pick in goal in Q2 was wiped out by their having 13 men on the field!! An Argo FG try after 6 minutes missed for 1 point, 0-8.
    Sinopoli set a new RB pass-receiving record on the way to a TD for Rhymes after 13 minutes, +2 by Sinopoli with his 500th career catch, 8-all. The Argos put Worthy in the RB end zone a minute later, 8-15. The RB opener in Q3 was sacked to a punt. Prukop took over from Bethel-Thompson as the Argo QB in Q3.
    Newbie 34 of the Argos sprinted to the RB 24, TD for Smith, 8-22. No. 34 got the next TA TD, 8-29. The Argos kicked a FG after 13 minutes, 8-32. O'Connor took over in Q4. His first ever TD pass, to Smith, survived a challenge for OPI, 8-39.
    Ward missed a FG try for the RBs!! Just a single from it, 9-39 with 4 minutes left. The Argos recovered an RB fumble in FG range in the 14th minute but the RB defence pushed them back. No further scoring.

CFL logo Super Saturday part 2: the Roughriders in Edmonton. The Riders had to punt. The Eskimos made a huge pass play but were picked in goal. They sacked SK to a punt in revenge. Another EE sprint to the red zone, DPI in goal, McCarty in for a TD, 0-7. Fajardo fumbled when the Riders were backed up, EE ball at the SK 1!, more McCarty, 0-14.
    In Q2, Fajardo fired a bomb to the Evans at the EE 45; punt, goal line scramble, no yards, some breathing room for the Esks, punt. Evans went 47 yards to the EE 3, TD for Thigpen, 7-14 in the 12th minute. The Esks kicked a FG at the end of the quarter for 7-17.
    After an exchange of punts in Q3, the Esks lost a challenge of a bad DPI call and SK went on to a TD for Moore, 14-17 in the 9th minute. A pick by SK stopped the Esks, razzle-dazzle to a TD for Arceneaux, 21-17 after 13 minutes.
    The Esks missed a FG try in Q4 for nowt. The Riders had more success after 9 minutes, 24-17. The Esks went for a 3rd & 4 after the 3 minute warning, Ellingson caught the pass; must get a TD. From the SK 12, Harris to Smith, 24-all. 1:48 left. The Riders marched to FG range and a 42-yarder gave them a walk-off 27-24 win. Ratz!

CFL logo Super Sat. #3: the Ticats in Montreal. A lateral right and forward pass by the Als got them to the TC 37 after they'd made the visitors punt, but they were picked by Lawrence. Lots of defence. The Als scored first in the 13th minute with a TD for Bray, 0-7. Speedy B scored a TD as the last play of the quarter, the Cats failed to make +2 but the Als were offside, then there was a flag for procedure by the Cats and no +2 eventually, 6-7.
    In Q2, Lewis did some hurdling to the TC 31 and Wienecke took a TD pass, 6-14. Lots of defence until Addison strolled into the MTL goal after the 3MW. The Cats got 2 goes to make +2, 14-all. Shiltz replaced Adams in a no consequence match and fired a TD pass to Matthews, 14-21 at the half.
    A TD for Coombes put the Cats level in Q3. Then a pick by Brooks set up another TD for Speedy B, 28-21 at half-way. A safety to the Als after a punt in the 13th minute? Flags for holding by the Cats and no yards on the Als, still 28-21 until the MTL defence force a safety for real and 28-23.
    The Als managed a FG in Q4, 28-26. 9 plays by the Cats in under 2 minutes and Speedy B scored another TD, 35-26. It all got rather bad tempered for a while. The Cats kicked a FG with a couple of minutes left and 31-26 was the final score.

Some of us civilians at BFN like to join in to let them know that anyone can do it and we ain't impressed by their efforts.
