These pet birds are caged, indoors. Do the owners think that their parrots are letting themselves out of their cages at night, unlocking the front door, popping to the local park and swapping used handkerchiefs with the local wild birds? Just how do they think their birds are going to acquire this disease? A disease that has yet to jump the species barrier and be demonstrated as harmful to humans? Idiots.

These poor abandoned birds (some of whom have had frostbite from being left outside the sanctuary in the middle of the night by their caring owners) must be really pissed off that they have been kept in a cage by people who are less intelligent than they are.

I really hope that parliament has the guts to back a full ban on smoking in public places in England. I recently spent a night in Dublin, attending the Digital Media Awards with a small team from BBC Northern Ireland. One of the things that really struck me was that, after spending several hours in a packed bar, I awoke the next morning without the nauseating smell of stale cigarettes, and without the usual sore eyes and throat that usually follow such a night.

Still, with the tax revenue that is generated from the sale of cigarettes and alcohol in this country, I’m pretty sure that the government will bow to the industry lobbyists and revenue before health with a watered down ban. The benefit to the health of non-smokers just doesn’t register, unfortunately.

[Update:] Well, I’ll go to the foot of our stairs.

I believe that people have a right to a private life, providing that their private life does not impinge upon their public responsibilities.

I have always maintained that someone’s sexual orientation should not be a barrier to public life in modern Britain.

I strongly believe that people should have a right to personal privacy.

I do not believe that anything that I have done has impinged upon my capacity to serve my constituents or fulfil any of the roles that I have sought, undertaken or am seeking for the future.

Well Mr Hughes, it’s a nice idea, but I think your experiences over the last few days just go to show that, sadly, this is not the case.

The police subsequently seized the coat, and the Natural History Museum have found that it is in fact made from the hides of colobus monkeys. The police have passed a file on the case to the Crown Prosecution Service. Good. I hope the unrepentant Burns gets stitched up like a kipper. Idiot.

If you would like to help improve my overall rating, you can do so by adding your vote. If you are feeling very generous, you could even put a link to Drawing Business on your own site. I will be happy to consider a reciprocal link on Drawing Business or on this blog if you do. If you do add a link, be sure to let me know.

You keep trying to boost your client’s search engine rankings by leaving fake comments full of links in older posts on this site. It really is pointless, as these comments get deleted immediately. No moderation is required on my behalf, and there is no chance of your efforts ever making it onto the site. All you are doing is polluting my mailbox with notifications that your comment has been deleted, and getting your client’s site URL added to an internet-wide blacklist.

So just stop it.

I also have a completely new portfolio, using the open source Gallery software. This has allowed me to arrange my illustrations much more logically into smaller albums, which should make older work more accessible.

Please take a look at the new site, and let me know what you think in the comments, the feedback forum, or by contacting me.
