The two most dangerous words in the Dictionary = Health and Safety

It's true "Health" and "Safety" are the most dangerous words in the English language. Those two words prevent us from doing the things we like, because there may me the very slightest one in a billion chance we'll break a fingernail, or something stupid.

This has been shown yet again after a children's entertainer was banned from using a bubble-making machine during his act, because it's too dangerous. According to an article in today's Daily Mail, Insurers say that children might slip on, children's entertainer "Barney Baloney's" bubbles, and they claim the machine could therefore be a health and safety hazard.

I almost fell off my chair when I read this story. The whole country has gone litigation crazy, and will it stop. Or, will it truely get silly (not that it isn't already) to a point when bananas are banned because their skins are a slip hazard, or a clown's custard pie would be considered a dangerous weapon. The whole compensation culture, has got quite bizarre, and the fact that a children's entertainer is being stopped from blowing bubbles really does take the biscuit.
