new year

new year is one of those things that was big in Scotland maybe a viking tradition eating haggis neeps and carrot mash it then spread to England then the empire etc with robbie burns old land syne never mind we dont know what it means .new year for me well not my thing , getting snogged by poeple you've avoided for the rest of the year getting smashed ,so new years days a write off ,we also have the new years honours list this year luvvies and dodgy bankers. david suchet got one the great Pete pothlethwaite didn't. annie lennox for her charity work well if she was a real toiler in the fields we wouldn't know about it. then they give dame hood to an actress called harriet who no one knows - what a pointless farce -- new years meal 3star and didn't have to avoid any unwanted lips this year also texts and emails and phone calls from all my closest so excellent start hope all goes well for anyone reading this I'm not making any resolutions and intend to be as grumpy as ever. as for the fireworks in london an artistic triumph that knocked sydney cold - i didnt see paris so i cant make comparisons

no fool like an old fool

Vince cable business secretary gets himself trapped into criticising his own government by a very young lady reporter- no Vince she wasn't interested in you she wanted a good story , then you compound it by sounding off about Murdoch . so now your weakened made to look ridiculous . so what do you do go on strictly come dancing , an old man pawing young ladies in public - this should be your last tango Vince. time to get real ,your in responsible position in government which you hardly deserved, be grateful ,grow up ,and show us your worth it

hiver en angleterre

beautifully as anything can get , but of course we complain , roads at standstill, economy ruined, nothing works , garden ruined, it doesn't happen too often my part of England so lets relish the visual treats while they last and its not just us that cant cope, the rest of the near continent is the same

i dont get this

morissey has discovered that david cameron has always been a fan , morrissey's reaction i dont want you to like me , surely even if it is a politician you dont admire can you not take comfort from the fact that he might have been influenced by what you had to say and has at least listened to it

ice and fire

in the u.k we've had terrible weather deep snow in the north schools closed, temps of minus 15 it looks beautiful till it goes on too long ,yet it brought out the best in the British all mucking in helping each other .even the troops helped clear snow, politicians of course useless so we all helped our selves the brit spirit is alive in well ..by contrast the student riots, no one read the government proposalsas they wanted to protest anyway.socialists never listen they only want to shout everyone else down --mobs like the one in london have dark heart where primeval forces are unleashed and anything is possible, maiming of animals ,violence ,fire, mayhem desecration, what argument does it put forward as those who would quote democracy use brute force to advance their ideas -shameful of course ,stupid yes,its why i can never vote for the labour party because they do not real socialism. socialism is inclusive it encourages everyone to be better than they thought they could be .the labour party and ed milliband demonstrate their ignorance by indulgence in the class war they are as bad as blue rise tory ladies .strength of argument should be the approach yet have you ever here a labour party member wiling to examine their views. dispassionately. mindless hate, why, vandalism why, bring down the government and your turn comes next to climb the steps of the guillotine .where does it all lead do they know -i doubt it ,neither do i, but i'm frightened the black heart that emerges in the centre of every mob and dehumanises everything around it.

the opposite of eye candy

i cant bring my self to put a picture of this guy on here, what is it about nadal that makes me want to switch off and give up on my favourite sport tennis----------------------------------------well i thought tennis was about skill not aggression .he doesn't play beautiful tennis his racket is a club ,not an instrument, to beat up his opponents with . then there is ghastly animal grunt each time he hits the ball, plus the scowling, the jumping up and down- that's before we get round to the ticks. he bounces the ball 10 times before he serves ,that's after he adjusted his under wear (why can't he get comfortable pants) touches nose,his back pocket pushes his hair back at either side .then serves .add to this crabs claw arm the over developed shoulder another couple of attributes we won't mention and stylist from hell and there you have nadal .he might get the results but he's not the best, if winning at any cost is what its all about ok ,but if enhancing your sport is what it is really all about then nadal is something else .pulling an injury stunt when he was at paris and then questioning djkoviks eye injury this week shows a sportsman he ain't. he might fool the drooling commentators who'll lick the floor before a winner ,but if he continues the sport will produce a series of opponents being led to the slaughter house ,with the game as about attractive as an abattoir

monarchy

in england in the 17th century we had our revolution led by parliamentarian oliver cromwell and we learned our lesson. feckless king charles had his head cut off .however what did we get in its place, a republic that persecuted catholics, the irish , hunted down and burned whitches destroyed art, separated us permanently from ireland ,and then set up it own hereditary system and abolished christmas - the restoration of the monarchy with merry monarch king charles 2 and his many mistress meant that half of england has royal blood any way - the best thing about the monarchy is it stops politicians going for the top job, we keep hearing about implausible presidential candidates if the monarchy went- richard branson who cant string two sentences to gether, judi drench whose already played victoria and elizabeth, queen helen mirren- a terrible impersonation and whose russian anyway -- other ghastlies on the list stephen fry , lord putnam , dawn french and tony blair we might as well hve billy elliot or nigella - luvvies and lefties who we'd never get rid of -no thanks i'd rather keep her majesty and her grisly family though if charles ascends the throne he wont have my allegiance i will have transferred it to the next generation
