It's all quackers

It's getting very hard to believe the stories now about the whole MP's expenses row as they seem to be getting more and more unbelievable yet somehow their not. For example one of the stories today was about a MP who tried to claim for a duckhouse and before you ask that's not the worst part. No, somehow he spent £1500 on this Duckhouse ( literally a house for the middle of his lake at his home for ducks to leave in) and thought this was a legimate expenses claim!

You can't help but wonder what else their might be to come out. We've had MP's claiming for home cinema systems, cleaners, for mortages that their didn't know had ended ( yeah whatever) and now Duckhouses!

Although there was also one of the funniest defences from one of these MP's that had been claiming for a mortage that had ended who claimed he shouldn't be blamed as he had simply made a mistake. However he claimed that this 'mistake' was filling in the wrong address on a form 23 times! I'm guessing that this guy really doesn't want to admit to having his hand caught in the cookie jar good and proper.

The trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes film has been released and it looks good. For a action adventure set in victorian times. What it does not look like however is a Sherlock Holmes film and that will probably be a problem for a lot of the potential audience.

In space news today, the Hubble is fixed and Atlantis should be landing shortly. The space station crew have tried their first taste of water made from recycled urine and NASA is about to launch a robotic mission which will be heading to the moon. Now the LRO will have cameras on board that are supposed to be powerful enough to take detailed photos of the Apollo landing sites. Which I'm sure they'll take pictures of in a effort to prove the conspiracy theorists wrong. However in turn I'm sure the conspiracy theorists will claim that the government has made fake images to cover up that the landings never happened. And the whole cycle will begin again.

Well one more day to the weekend then I will be on Holiday for a week. Yaah! Not that I'm going anywhere in particular, I just need to use the last of it up before we get into the new holiday year.

Later folks!
