Friends do not have to be the same.....

And as this is so beautiful, I am making no comments but just posting this for pure enjoyment. We should all learn.....and be so lucky to have such great friends.

They are both praying for the state of the world I hope......

Because it's in a mess. Actually I have seen the man and his dog at the walkway between the monorail station by the MBK centre in Bangkok.

Let's start. The News of the world is as of now, closed. That's no big deal because it was a horrible sleazy newspaper reporting on not very interesting things. But hacking into peoples phone is really not on. One can't have a good old rant to a friend without being constantly on the lookout for strange noises coming down the line, not counting the heavy breathers, of course...

Then we have the splendid visit of the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Canada and California. That was a grueling schedule, always being trotted about like 2 specimens, having to smile all the time, but they pulled it off with a lot of charm and good manners. And showed a lot of class as well. I am sure Granny Queen is delighted, she can leave the monarchy in good hands. Catherine showed that to look good one doesn't have to wear skirts up to the panty line and a cleavage of hysterical proportions. She's at the start of her term of royal hoopla-ness and will, no doubt, grow into it very well. The way she interacted with little Diamond who has cancer, was perfect and not put on. That child, even if she dies, poor little one, will have something so precious to cherish. I liked the stylish dress the Duchess wore in Los Angeles for the BAFTA do, covered up and looking gorgeous. What on earth has Nicole Kidman done to herself? I didn't recognize her! And her hair was wrong for that dress. JLO looked ........... as did most of the others, except for Jennifer Garner. Oh dear, why, oh why, with all their money, stylists et al, do they get it wrong?

Then we have, what? Nearly everything going wrong! I often wonder what the world has come to. It seems impossible to have good news, it's all bad.

Having said that, here are a couple of headlines which tickled my fancy. That's not happened for a long time and you may think what you like!

Looking for love in all the wrong places: Bear sedated for the 6th time for looking for a mate. Poor bear. As no. 6131, he was found up a tree in East Brunswick. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think he has a problem in knowing where to look. The last I knew, black bears are not playing hard to get up a tree! He's spending so much time on the road he's losing weight. Being quite a bit smaller than the other males, he's not doing so well in the fighting stakes.  someone please give him boxing lessons...I feel so sorry for him. I hope love will come soon...

Halle Berry is probably going to play queen of soul Aretha Franklin in new TV bio!  Please no! She of the gorgeous figure which women would die for, having to become the blob! I love Aretha's voice, but not her looks! Anyway, I am sure Halle wouldn't have to sing, as she couldn't for a moment have the voice for it, but am left wondering which part of Aretha's life will she be playing? surely not the end bit? Aretha must have weighed 130 kilos, if not more! Ye gods and little fishes, what would the lovely Halle look like! I dread to think. The saga continues...

Good, isn't it....................

This is what the world needs more of....

Dr. Tawfik Hamid, is an Islamic thinker and reformer, and one time Islamic extremist from Egypt. He was a member of a terrorist Islamic organization JI with Dr. Ayman Al-Zawaherri who became later on the second in command of Al-Qaeda. Some twenty-five years ago, he recognized the threat of Radical Islam and the need for a reformation based upon modern peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts.

"I am a Muslim by faith.... a Christian by spirit....a Jew by heart....and above all I am a human being."

Dr. Tawfik Hamid.

I was born a Muslim and lived all my life as a follower of Islam

After the barbaric terrorist attacks done by the hands of my fellow Muslims everywhere on this globe, and after the too many violent acts by Islamists in many parts of  the world, I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being, to speak out and tell the truth to protect the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe and war of civilizations. I  have to admit that our current Islamic teaching creates violence and hatred toward Non-Muslims. We Muslims are the ones who need to change. Until now we have accepted polygamy, the beating of women by men, and killing those who convert from Islam to other religions.  We have never had a clear and strong stand against the concept of slavery or wars, to spread our religion and to subjugate others to Islam and force them to pay a humiliating tax called Jizia. We ask others to respect our religion while all the time we curse non-Muslims loudly (in Arabic) in our Friday prayers in the Mosques. What message do we convey to our children when we call the Jews "Descendants of the pigs and monkeys".. Is this a message of love and peace, or a message of hate? I have been into churches and synagogues where they were praying for Muslims. While all the time we curse them, and teach our generations to call them infidels, and to hate them. We immediately jump in a 'knee jerk reflex' to defend Prophet Mohammad when someone accuses him of being a pedophile while, at the same time, we are proud with the story in our Islamic books, that he married a young girl seven years old (Aisha) when he was above 50 years old. I am sad to say that many,  if not most of us, rejoiced in happiness after September 11th and after many other terror attacks.   Muslims denounce these attacks to look good in front of the media, but we condone the Islamic terrorists and sympathise with their cause.  Till now our 'reputable' top religious authorities have never issued a Fatwa or religious statement to proclaim Bin Laden as an apostate, while an author, like Rushdie, was declared an apostate who should be killed according to Islamic Shariia law just for writing a book criticizing Islam. Muslims demonstrated to get more religious rights as we did in France to stop the ban on the Hejab (Head Scarf), while we did not demonstrate with such passion and in such numbers against the terrorist murders. It is our absolute silence against the terrorists that gives the energy to these terrorists to continue doing their evil acts.  We Muslims need to stop blaming our problems on others or on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. As a matter of honesty, Israel is the only light of democracy, civilization, and human rights in the whole Middle East . We kicked out the Jews with no compensation or mercy from most of the Arab countries to make them "Jews-Free countries" while Israel accepted more than a million Arabs to live there, have its nationality, and enjoy their rights as human beings. In Israel , women can not be beaten legally by men, and any person can change his/her belief system with no fear of being killed by the Islamic law of 'Apostasy,' while in our Islamic world people do not enjoy any of these rights.  I agree that the 'Palestinians' suffer, but they suffer because of their corrupt leaders and not because of Israel . It is not common to see Arabs who live in Israel leaving to live in the Arab world. On the other hand, we used to see thousands of Palestinians going to work with happiness in Israel , its 'enemy'. If Israel treats Arabs badly as some people claim, surely we would have seen the opposite happening. We Muslims need to admit our problems and face them. Only then we can treat them and start a new era to live in harmony with human mankind.  Our religious leaders have to show a clear and very strong stand against polygamy, pedophilia, slavery, killing those who convert from Islam to other  religions, beating of women by men, and declaring wars on  non-Muslims to spread Islam. Then, and only then, do we have the right to ask others to respect our religion. The time has come to stop our hypocrisy and say it openly: 'We Muslims have to Change'.   Tawfik Hamid   It can be done with more people like Dr. Hamid. Good, isn't it....

Marvellous things from the world around us..... some actual headlines.

This is what he thinks of the world to-day..... he's right. Complete Hysteria.

Poison caterpillars invade estate. Now there's something for us to contemplate. Were they given the poison by some foreign power intent on causing mayhem, or is it inside their furry little bodies? How did they know which estate to invade? They must be controlled by some outer space alien telling them to go and invade. There could be a film made about this: The Crawl of the Killer Caterpillars. Death eases up to an unsuspecting family's home in the midst of night. Millions of Caterpillars are given their marching orders to poison and kill! Beware they might be out to get you too! Children must be well behaved ( too right they should) and locked up in their home ( a lot of them should be) to thwart the killer Caterpillars! Thwart.. that's a nice word, I always wanted to use it somewhere. Parents should be warned, be good or DIE!! IS there no stopping the caterpillars on the march? No. And if you're not careful, they'll send out via bush telephone calls to their friends the Fire Ants to come and get you!! And that's worse than a fate facing death. Does that make sense? It sounds good, so I'll leave it in.

Cheryl gets pranked... Balls of Steel!   OH MY!! Superman's at it again! First we had David Beckham with his Golden Balls, now along comes old Supie with his Balls of Steel! The mind boggles! What does he do? Cheryl has been pranked with Steel Balls!! What have they been up to, or down, whichever... Crushed or squeezed, it sounds very uncomfortable....or maybe shaken and not stirred? My mind's reeling with all the possibilities...

7,500 waiting for miracle cream. For what? I know, but do you? It's to ease the wrinkles out of ones face. A large chain of shops had it on sale, it was sold out in about 3/5ths of a nano second and there's this huge waiting list for it. Will one by recognizable any more after using it? Faces have wrinkles to make sure you don't look like the next person, some have them, some don't. And it's like getting old, it happens to us all. Death and taxes are the other 2 things one can't escape either, come to think of it!

Good, isn't it....

A look at some of the worlds headlines....

What shall I ponder about now? Rodin's done his thing already...

Thousands of scantily clad women to march in London as SLUTWALK  protest spreads to UK.... now there's something to look forward to! Or is it? If it shows the obese lot which are now in the UK, Samantha Cameron and Victoria Beckham ( before the baby bump) apart, I don't know if I shall be watching. Having seen some of the photos, I think this is a miss. On the other hand, it could be a good thing to keep radicals off the streets as they shouldn't be looking at this, but I'm sure they all will, with telescopes and goggles all the better to see with!

Justin Bieber brands Marge Helgenberger ( a lovely woman)  "kinda lame" after she complains abut his bratty antics on set. Way to go Marge! Give him a quick boot where it hurts for me please. This is one spoilt brat who has absolutely nothing going for him except an awful hairstyle if you could call it that, and hordes of screaming kids. At least when I screamed at rock stars, they were good...this one is a joke. And he's not a star. Thats' reserved for those that have earned it.

Pakistan grants the USA access to Bin Ladens wives ... what on earth for? Will they want to learn how to cook whilst on the run? I suppose there could be a tv programme called: In Pursuit of Happyness. Life on the run with OBL. How to wear camouflage make-up.  Then there will be follow up books entitled: How to cope with secrecy, and stress of changing clothes without being seen by a man. Useful sort of thing, isn't it. I can see it becoming a best seller immediately. Or you could have cookbooks: My life with a goat. How to kill, clean and eat...

An instant cure for baldness, if you don't mind being injected with  pigs bladders.  ??? Now how do they see this?Apparently ones own blood is mixed with a powder derived from pigs. I am wondering what side effects could be. Oinking instead of sneezing, maybe? Eating  from troughs? IQ's going up? As we all know pigs are intelligent, probaby a lot more than we are to expect this sort of thing to actually work. I can't wait to see the results...

Man tries to walk on water. Apparently he tried to emulate Jesus by wearing oversized paddles on his feet. He didn't get too far though. A wave came up and bowled him over and he drowned. 

This reminds me of the simply dreadful joke about walking on water.

St Peter was at the pearly gates when 3 long haired men came up to him. All 3 were wearing long white robes and looked serious. St. Peter asked them who they were and all 3 replied: Jesus. He then was in a dilemma. How was he to find out which was Jesus?

Very simple. He asked each one to walk across a lake he conjoured up. The first one did and didn't go down. The second one did and also he too didn't go down.  The 3rd one did and promptly went under. St Peter hauled him out, called him Jesus and granted him access to heaven. Do you know why? He had holes in his feet.

Good, isn't it.....

That was a crazy weekend.............

Watch out little one! It was like this at the weekend!

Donald Trump was well and truly trumped by President Obama at the White House Correspondants dinner last week. The Pres. took him to bits, poked fun at him and also at himself and the First Lady plus other various people and managed to get The Donald sitting with a lot of egg on his face and a murderous expression. It serves him right. Anyone with such a dreadful hairstyle simply cannot be taken seriously. It also applies to people who have bizarre names: Newt Gingrich??? Reince Priebus,??? Saxby Chambliss??? Chaka Fattah??? Where do their parents get them from? They sound like something out of Star Wars! They are all American politicians. Forsooth! They make Miliband and co. look positively bland.... which they are, come to think of it.

Then up goes the Pres. once more and blasts the radical death machine called OBL to death. Nice strike guys. He should not have been left alive and burying him at sea so there's no shrine, was a clever move. We all know there will be some idiot who will jump up and vow to avenge his death, but I think they authorities do know this. It's put a lot of peoples minds at ease and given many, closure. I do wish the majority of the Arab world, and Muslims in general, I'm not talking about radicals, would say more about all this. I'm sure they're quite glad that this madman has been put to rest, but one hears barely a whisper from them. It would do your image with the Western World a lot of good if you did join in the condemnations as well. We are far too nice to you all, it's your turn to be nice back. Try it.

I went to see the movie THOR yesterday as it was such stupid weather. It was super! Great fun and a treat on the eyes. I'm going to see it again. I love films where one can lose oneself in the inanities, although this wasn't an inane film. To the contrary. MEET DAVE, with Eddy Murphy, was, and I roared with laughter through it. It was so bad that it was good.

As I sit here pondering the foibles of mankind, of which there are far too many, I am reminded of the words my friends Confucius says: Even the greatest of whales is helpless in middle of the desert. I haven't a clue why this has struck me as being a profound thought for the day, but it did.

Good, isn't it....

I am exhausted..........

The photo is because the cat has just read my blog about sorting out the problems in the UK....



From trying to sort out the UK and from having watched the royal wedding today. However, the one is an ongoiung problem and the other is ongoing, hopefully without the problem.

Miss Middleton has now become the future Queen of England, not bad for the daughter coming from a line of coalminers from Durham. Who says fairy tales don't happen? She's done brilliantly well for herself. Waity Katy indeed, it just shows what waiting can do for one! I hope that she and Prince William will be very happy. They seem to have their heads on and in the right place, and that the shadows which hung over his mother's wedding, are of course missing in this one.

All the ladies looked, with the exception of very few, who, no matter how much money there is just can't get it right, gorgeous. Like a whole lot of butterflies at a gathering and the men looked good too, which shows how much nicer you look when not in jeans and with scruffy beards and trainers.

The weather was very helpful in that it didn't pour down, probably in part because I paid an Red Indian Rain Maker to do a reverse dance. Which reminds me, I must send the bill to the palace. The Queen and Prince Philip are going off for a quiet weekend at Sandringham, she deserves it, she looked super for a lady of 85, and so did he. I thought for one moment as he was getting into the coach, that she would have to heave him up or at least give him a shove, but the old boy made it, with a sigh of relief, I would think!

It was watched by over 2 billion people all around the world. And who says there was no wedding fever? Of course there was! Brilliantly managed and pulled off by the palace and other staff. Well done, a superb affair.

As I am exhausted from all the excitement, I shall toodle off to have a relaxing weekend, knowing that the UK is in good hands, at least for this Friday.

Good, isn't it....

Dear Mr. Cameron

I'm back again. The photo is to get you all to wake up.

As there is so much to talk about in how I can help you, I had to put this missive into 2 parts otherwise you might get a headache. To carry on:

Banks and bankers: Now there's a lot to be taken with a large pinch of salt. Could you please explain why, when a bank has been bailed out by the poor long - suffering British public yet again, that the bankers at the end of a year get whopping bonuses? For doing what, precisely? Getting themselves into the mess to start off with and then giving themselves pats on the back for being so clever? Really? Did they all come from the LSE, which needs to be torn down, seeing that they are giving idiots like Ghaddafi's son certificates. HA! For what? Paying bribes? Well, we all know that happened, even if the LSE didn't. They have the combined brain power of a bunch of first graders, who probably have more savvy than they. Now banks. Ah yes, this is the wonderful system which allows you to put money into a bank account of your own and when you want to draw money out, you find it's less than what it was when you put the money in. You are told that it's for accounting. Surely in this day and age, where things are done by computers, it doesn't need each month a horrendous amount to be deducted. What for? Do computers need food and drink? NO. The people who are supposed to look after them do, but as they are not very good, such a lot of bank statements being less worth than loo paper, the mistake must come from the input, shades of Johnny 5 ....I can only presume the people are to blame, in which case they should be removed. It's called cutting costs and as the costs are mainly to my detriment, please get rid of these folk who think they can do with money as they wish. No they can't, it's mine, not the banks nor the bank staffs.

Weapons: A pet bugbear. GUNS KILL, people don't. Although, as I am thinking about the proliferance of knives around, I might have to revise my way of thinking. I was always of the opinion that it is much more difficult to kill someone with a knife, than a gun. The reason being that if you attack someone with a knife, they will usually try and get at you as they don't particularly want their throat slit or to be stabbed somewhere.... A gun removes this dance of intimacy. It's a cowards way of killing. In warfare I can accept it, but on the mean streets of the UK? Gun laws and those for people carrying knives, except for butchers, have to be made very strict indeed. I can remember times when the policemen were out every night on the streets with nothing except a cosh, which they used. Quite rightly too. Maybe if the laws for the police were to be changed, where they can catch delinquents and give them an almighty bashing before taking them to the police station to be booked, would help. Then too, the law should protect the person who is being attacked by some idiot, not the other way around. People who protect their property should be commended, for example. If an idiot wishes to break into someones home and is whacked across the head by some irate homeowner, I would turn a blind eye if I were you. They won't do it again in a hurry after a stay in some hospital. Oh, and while I'm on the subject of punishment, bring back the death penalty. The threat should be real and when it's used, applied with full force. There's a lot of horrible men in prison now who should, because of the appalling crimes they've committed, be dispatched to hell, fast. Although I'm not sure the Devil would want them. He's trying to find enough place for G.W. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Blair and Brown, for starters. Plus all the other despots in the world. It's an ego thing you see. They all want a better bit of hell than the other...

Foreign aid: Not a penny more. They can sort out their messes to start with. There have been billions pumped into countries which have done sod all for their countrymen and a lot to line the pockets of those in power. See my comment about this in a blog I wrote. (I will let you have my blog address as I've managed to sort out most of the world anyway and none of you know about it, which is a shame).

The National Draft: This definitely needs to be brought back. All young men, between the ages of 18 - 22, when not in a school of upper learning, university or apprenticeship, regardless of religion, colour or creed, if living in the UK, are to be drafted into one of the forces. Whilst at it, let's get the women also. There are a lot ,which do nothing except produce babies with the above mentioned idiots in my first letter to you. They can kill each other whilst in there and thus remove a lot of radicals and hate mongerers. Then we can send off the radicals who are still living, to the countries which also like the killing of innocent people, because of their archaic laws, and we can all breathe easier knowing they are having fun. But not in England.

Well, I think you've a lot to think about. I can tear myself away from the Costa del Sol to come to your aid as this is so important. A lot more is to be said, but I'll not offend anyone by putting it down here!

My regards to Mrs. Cameron and congratulations that the Downing Street cat has finally caught its first mouse!


Good, isn't it......

Hello everyone, I'm here again.

As the world has gone through some appalling times just lately, I've been sitting back and waiting for inspiration to hit. The problem is, now I want to write, there's so much to write about, where do I start?
I'll make an open letter to the UK government. The coalition, hhmmmm..

Dear Mr. Cameron,
I know you inherited a dreadful mess, as did Pres. Obama, from the lot which came before you. They tried, and succeeded, to screw up everything. From weapons of mass destruction, of which none were found, to the cameraderie of Brown and Bliar, twins of evil and malcontent, who managed to turn the UK, a once glorious country, into a land of imbeciles. You know who I am talking about.
So, here are my words of wisdom, I hope you agree. I am not touching on everything as there's too much to put down, but you have to make a start somewhere.

Immigration: the worst chaos ever. Labour began a process which has enabled most of the scum of Europe into GB, and then compounded it all by enabling this lot, unwashed, stupid and with hordes of children, in. Giving them mansions to live in, when they don't even know what a flush toilet is.. not having had one from whence they came. How did they get to the shores of the UK? .That's also a big question? Well here's what you do. Charge them all, ALL, 30.000 pounds each to come in. They get a small council house in a really seedy area, which is still much better than from whence they came... and they can stay there until dad and mum and all the ones who are of working age, get a job, irrespective of race, and religion. All of them must know English before they set foot on the soil of the UK. If they don't? Tough. Then, if they get through this, the money they had to bring in will be used for all their health costs and for the women for their babies, as most of them produce children like rabbits. If there's no job found in 6 months, they will be escorted to the shores and sent away. How? By using the rest of the money which they had to bring in, of course.

Religion: it's C of E and nothing else, bar Catholics who have also been around for a long time. No more mosques, no more places where kids can be brainwashed. You learn in English schools, and as you already know English, there's no problem of learning, is there?  The women will have their faces open, no more burkhas and covering up. You choose to live in a western country, you take the western views. You don't like that? There's no problem, you may leave, see the 30.000 pounds bit above... if you were born in the UK and are a radical, don't worry, we'll send you off to preach your hate and nastiness somewhere else. And give you a good send off to boot with a band and bunting. Anyway, we know, even if you don't, that in your holy book, which I will respect, although you don't respect mine, there is nothing which says faces and bodies must be covered. It says: both men and women be of modest attire. Where's the face covering bit? Problem solved. You give us the freedom to worship our God, in your country, I'll change my mind. Till then, hell will freeze over. So no deal.

Families:  any minors wishing to procreate and who are too stupid to use contraception, will get no benefits. This applies to all the other below level intelligence who think that the government have an obligation to look after all the children they put into the world. No they don't, you do. It's your fault, no-one elses.

Prisons: the old age pensioners and people who are in care, will be given all the things that prisoners have now, free medicine, tv on all the time, libraries etc. etc. The prisoners will be put into the barracks where the old people were, lights out at 9 pm, 2 meals a day, clean sheets every 2 weeks, etc. etc. the same as the old people had. That would be a more fitting punishment, don't you think? They get no rights at all as the prisoners gave up theirs by choice when they committed a crime. Votes? whatever for? If they get back into society, maybe, till then, nada. You hire Sheriff Joe Arpaio to bring the prison system under control. It'll cost a lot less.

The EU and handouts: the bane of the British folk. Which the wondrous Labour party, the lot which causes havoc and mayhem everywhere they go, brought us into! The idiots in Brussells try and dictate to the UK what we have to do. No you don't. You have nothing to say. The UK is a sovereign country and it's much bigger than Belgium. You're not even capable of handling your money but insist that the average taxpayer has to fork up 400 pounds per person to meet tariffs this year. I suggest that, with bankers, all the salaries of every offical in the EU be immediately frozen. We also eat your Brussell Sprouts, I have never worked out why...You can all meet the tariffs which you wish to foist onto anyone around you through all the frozen accounts. We will watch what happens. Mr. Cameron don't be scared of them. What are they going to do to us all? Zilch. If they can't manage their money, how do you think they will be able to manage a lot of very angry British people? No more handouts to countries like Pakistan and India, which is spending a billion in sending probes to Mars. Whatever  for? You get your rich people to cough up. You can send the UK money as you seem to have a lot more of it than the Brits do! We have sent you enough.

And that's just a start. Banks and such, I'll write about again tomorrow. I can pop round and work out details with you whenever you wish. It'll be my pleasure. I can go on for a lot longer but my hand is hurting from wrath at putting these words down. I shouldn't have to. We should all be able to live in a world where hate has no place, religion is not the way of running a country, where people are equals, some more than others, but that's the law of the jungle. It is a place we have to make, for we shall otherwise leave our children a complete bloody mess. It takes just a few at the top to do it, but it's insiduous. I am quoting something a South African journalist wrote, and how true it is.

1. I am always right

This delusion means that you go to war on second-rate intelligence. You reject any facts which contradict your view of what the world should be like. If you are absolutely proved wrong, you merely offer the excuse that you thought you were right at the time and you always do what you think is right. You surround yourself with yes-men. You do not even countenance the presence of a court jester who might serve you up with unpalatable truths coated in humour.


2. I am in total control.
This delusion means that anybody who disputes your control is regarded as an enemy. It starts with intimidation of your political enemies, but is soon followed by secretly gathering an elite group of assassins who take them out. When the public defy you, you send in the army to sort them out. Even if you end up in control of nothing, you are still living in the castle amid the ruins.


3. I am immortal.
This delusion means that you hang on until you actually die and then maybe get embalmed. You feel you are indispensable even when you have long passed your sell-by date. You reject grooming any outside successor because that person could become a threat. The baton has to be passed on to one of your children so that you can rule from the grave.


4. I am the most popular person around.
This delusion arises from gauging your popularity from your followers, many of whom owe their positions and wealth to you. It also arises from the fact that they know this and protect you from the ugly truth. Sometimes the delusion continues until you get a knock on the door in the bunker, at which point you are shocked to be informed that the game is over.


5. My ends justify any means.
This delusion is the most dangerous of them all, because you are prepared to kill millions of people as a result of some warped ideology to which you have become addicted. Human rights are an irrelevance in your pursuit of the great idea.

Written by Clem Sunter, with thanks.

So there you have it Mr. Cameron.

Good, isn't it......................

I had this sent to me and was so much in agreement that I have posted it here.

By Robert A. Hall   Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks and haven't called in sick for 7 or 8 years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.   I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.   I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.    I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.   I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.   I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?   I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.   I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada and Britain, while no American, Australian, Canadian group nor British is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.   I'm very tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.   Yes, I'm damn tired - but I'm also glad to be 63 because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter. (My daughter and her children to come).   Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served 5 terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.   I wrote Britain in red, and I'm tired also of the kow towing to minorities, prisoners, drug dealers, pregnant teenagers with no sense of responsibility for their actions, people who torture animals, paedophiles, dictators,  the list is endless. Good, isn't it............

After some time pondering the foibles of mankind, I am back... here I am, down below.

I'll start with the weather. Everyone knows that the British love to talk about this, but now it's been pushed to the back seat because of what banks do, what Bliar and co. have done and what the present government is going to do. I don't envy Mr. Cameron, he's inherited a HUGE amount of rubbish from the incapable hands of aforesaid Bliar and Brown. They sound like a comedy act, they look it, but unfortunately due to their actions, are most certainly not. And who is suffering? That lot of poor British people. Yet again.

What else? There's been a lot going on.

Up comes an Iraqi who claims that he was the person who said there were weapons of mass destruction and the USA and UK went to war, against Saddam Hussein who had done, till then, absolutely nothing against either of those countries. He did a lot to his lot, but not to us. So this brilliant person started a war which has killed over 1.700.000 Iraqis, displaced God knows how many more, put into action all the b.s. with the billions going to Iraq, still unaccounted for etc. etc. The list is so long that I don't  have enough space here. What I don't understand, is that the normally super efficient German lot, to whom this miscreant went, didn't investigate his claims properly. Now that to me, is plain bloody stupid. Poor old Hans Blix, whilst toddling about in Iraq, found zilch. BUT, Bush & Bliar had to go with their trumpet calls of the young going to defend their homeland. They forgot to mention that they would most likely be killed as well, but never mind. It's just a few bodies for the glory , isn't it! Well and good, but for what? We all knew it was for oil but the powers that be, didn't. Oh dear.Their information was very off that day. Both of them should be impeached, along with Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and probably 6.415 others whose names I can't recall.  But then, what do I know.

Going back to the Bliar. Just LOOK at his smug little prissy face. How anyone ever believed in this person is beyond me, and don't get me on the subject of his dreadful wife. She's a judge, so she must have some brains. On second thoughts, looking at the judicial system of today in the UK, maybe not. 

Off goes our Tone, trotting around the middle east earning an obscene amount of money for spouting his rubbish and pulling the wool over other peoples eyes. Not to be recommended. Since he was an emissary to the middle east, it's disintegrating in front of my eyes! Never have regimes been thrown over so fast! Ah the speed of Twitter, FB, and all the rest. Bet the governments didn't reckon with all that when they became despotic! Ha! So, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, have been having hissy fits. When's Morocco doing the same? It's been too quiet, the suspense is killing me... I salute the brave people for having enough. Now, all you have to do is get a democratically elected government, not corrupt ( that's funny) and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Which, in the cases of Tunisia and Egypt will be difficult, because the ousted presidents have taken them with them! Now we come to my favourite. IRAN!!  A marvellous lot. A prime minister who looks as if he could do with a good wash, the most brutal regime, (and I thought men of God were supposed to be gentle ?), warbling away how wonderful the Egyptians were without any violence in the demonstrations, BUT when the Iranians demonstrate, out come the batons, deaths occur, violence rules and it's a whole different kettle of fish. I see.

Let's have something lighter in tone. 

" I've found an Italian stallion"  Who? Sylvester Stallone? Maybe before, but certainly not after, as in now. Jilted student dons sandwich board in desperate Valentines day appeal for a man, bags herself a date. Now this is sad. But if she thinks she'll be happy with an Italian horse, so be it. She didn't find a man, but maybe she's better off with a horse as a friend. If she doesn't like it, she can sell it.

Great grandmother receives bill for 7p unpaid council tax, from 10 years ago. They say the ways of councils are sometimes tardy, but this is rather overdoing it. did they send it via snail post? and if so, well done snail, you're more intelligent than the council.

I haven't mentioned my old friend the Blobfish for a while. I have heard that he's down in the depths, where he should be, blobbing along quite happily. Good, Mrs. Blobfish was afraid that someone would adopt him, though, with a face like his, I doubt it.

And so endeth the blog of today. I could go on for hours, but will leave some choice things for another date.

Good, isn't it.............

 

Off and running...

I see that police in Britain have smashed a huge paedophilic ring, good. I cannot imagine what these sick people can get excited about abusing children, how dreadfullt perverted and sick is that? Do give them to me, they'll never do anything again like this, ever. And why is it, that the people who abuse children in general are the ugliest you can find about? They are hideous! 

This applies to the ones who maltreat children. A little girl of 2 has died, found with the most appalling injuries. I cannot believe why someone would even think of hurting a baby who has done more than being born. It certainly didn't want to be there!

I am sick to my stomach just thinking about it all. What a dreadful world we live in with such twisted, cruel people. I wrote somewhere else that humans are the worst predators in life, we kill for pleasure and are the only species which applies torture. That it is used against the weakest and youngest of us, is something I will never understand.

Good, isn't it.........

2011 has hit........

The Year of the Rabbit. Now this does not mean that one can go around bonking away ad nauseum as per rabbits, it is apparently a somewhat more tranquil year with financial worries being less. That's very nice to know, I for one am delighted.

Teenager lost on mountain survives due to watching the survival programme of Bear Grylls. I am happy he did watch this and survived, but where were his parents? Rather stupid of them to keep on ski-ing when they could see their son was not around! Grylls programmes are great, so he has a tv team toodling about with him, but what he does is good. Maybe we should send radicals out there in the most appalling conditions, like him, and let them be told, if you make it back we might not shoot you. Prisoners could also have the same treatment, it would reduce the prison population a lot.

Men are getting flabbier. Well, yes, it's called middle aged spread, and unless one does an SAS fitness regime, it happens to the best of us. Women have it too, although we do have the side effect of after having had children, ones bodies do really like to do their own thing round about 50. I, thank heavens, am still very slim, but it's to do with genetics, not eating like there's no tomorrow, eating well but not being fanatical about it, and realising that my body is not the same as it was at age 20. And I am quite happy about it.

This brings me to the point of all these plastic surgeons and the operations they do. A little bit of a lift, when ones face is droopy, is fine, correcting dreadful faults also, very much so. BUT, I see an increasing amount of ironed out faces on women and men, which quite frankly, look stupid. And let's not forget about the frog lips... who's kidding who? I don't have Angelina's bee pout, I wish I did, but it's still never stopped me from getting a man to kiss me, if I, and he wanted to. So, why are we obsessed with this line free look? No-one believes it for a second. Then let's face the BOOBS...I see photos of women who have obviously had DDD cups inserted, they look revolting! Does a man really like to hold onto this? Probably yes, so maybe I should shut up.

I wish you all a wonderful new year, with fun, laughter and love to make your lives complete.

My thoughts on news headlines.............

Man shoots himself whilst sleepwalking in Denver:  Oh dear. This is tragic whilst being hilarious. One could arrange sleepwalking parties with BBQ's and weenie roasts.  I always found that to be somewhat misleading. To me, as a child, a weenie was something small boys had, then it progressed to being a Cumberland sausage later on if you were lucky!
The longest snake in captivity dies:  and can you believe it was called Fluffy??? Apparently she weighed 300 pounds and was a recticulated python, which would have been even more interesting if she was an articulated one! Think what she could have come out with!! Quote: " she was an impressive animal," said a curator. I'll say, at 24 feet long she certainly impresses me! She died of a suspected ovarian tumour. Not enough bonking, probably... poor thing. How many handbags will they get from her? Tsk, Tsk...
Pres. Obama spars with Stewart on the Daily Show:  I thought SPAR was a supermarket? What's the Pres. and John doing in one of them? Were they shopping? Most likely for a hand bag... see above...
Coleen and Wayne Rooney looked bored at their holiday by the dunes:  Mais naturellement? What t f would they talk about? His sunburn? Her boob job? His feet, now worth with his legs, the sum of 265,000 pounds per week? I've not said any other bits of him, as everything above his waistline has an IQ of less than the combined IQ's of George Dubbya and Sarah Palin put together, namely 95. What do they drink? Pink concoctions. HHHMMM. If they'd said pink champagne, my favourites being Taittinger or Cristal Roederer, I could forgive them just a smidgeon, however, concoctions? Oh veyah...
Health bosses refuse to pay pregnancy benefits to pregnant woman because the baby was born prematurely: OK: Let's see... should she have sewn herself up to keep the child in?Crossed her legs somewhat more forcefully, or what? How do you keep babies in when they want to come out?? When they decide to move, there isn't a thing you can do about it, guys!! Or do you know something which we mothers don't? IN which case you will make gadzillions of money.
Good, isn't it..........
