sticks and stones may ......

...break my bones.... but woe betide you.... should you chose to abuse me on twitter....

Cause if you do.... you will be arrested !

Forgetting, whether it is morally reprehensible or not to make such comments about Tom Daley and his dad, you seriously have to question if it is the role of the police in such circumstances. Society should be grown up enough to judge and dismiss bigots without resorting to the judiciary.

And then when you think things can't be any sadder, you find the police doing this..... and then you seriously start to question the morality of the police.... are they really there to find lost sun glasses !! seriously WTF is that all about ?

When my car was broken into and my mince pies* were stolen, were the police interested ? answers on a post card will not win any prizes.....when my garage was broken into...did they arrest the man who they know did it...... not on your nelly !! Now if the thief [s] had abused me on twitter to say my mince pies were shite or that my garage was in such a mess they couldn't find much worth while to nick then maybe, just maybe I might have got a result.....

So be warned, next time you want to vent your spleen in public...think to yourself...is it really worth it...take my advice and stick to nicking mince pies instead.... the punishment is non existent **

So my song of the day for today must surely be:

*[Mincepie footnote 1: - They were not just any mince pies, they were M&S mince pies and I was so looking forward to eating them, on the journey home after seeing the new year fireworks on London embankment. Daft thing is they took my mince pies and left the brand new, still in the box digital camera, so it wasn't sooooo bad, notwithstanding just how much I love pies !]

**[Punishment footnote 2: - I have a clear policy for miscreants, which I know will work, so I will post that on another day. Trust me it is good and it is effective]

and from the great highs to the great ......

lows...... we drove out to France to watch a great champion only to drive back from France and listen to the defeat of Mark Cavendish....

Now I am no great expert on the subject of cycling but what worked so well for the TdF is not bound to work as well for the Olympics....

I am not a big fan of the sun newspaper but when I googled...... what went wrong wrong for Mark Cavendish.... up popped this article..... and well for me it summed it up so well, [reflected perhaps with a certain amount of irony...{just enough irony I think}] what went wrong for Mark Cavendish.

So for the song to go with this story.....

[only because I like Wallender and this song was playing at the end on Saturday night]

tour de wiggo .....

...and so it was the great man made it across the line first......

© - ME - 2012

© - ME - 2012

© - ME - 2012

and I was there ...... to see him be the de facto TdF winner.... crossing the line as the fastest man at Chartres.

and so it was 24 hours later Bradley Wiggins (as predicted here)..... became the first Englishman* to become the winner of the Tour De France.

There can only be one song of the day ...it has to be....

predictable I know.... but inevitable.....

*[Nationality footnote - I realise that strictly speaking he was born in Belgium, a son to an Aussie and a Brit, but like with all sporting greatness, we always love to make sure we claim them as strictly our own....especially as he is English and not British ! ]

and finally for later in the evening SoD (part III)

..... this one is a glass of wine quiet reflection one.....

... and on that note its a goodnight for today.....

ciao

then for the afternoon you have SoD (part II)

..... a great smiley happy video me thinks......

wasn't that just so fab and bed bouncy ........ 

today is a day just for SoD's x 3......

.... there is a SoD for the morning, one for later in the day and then one for the night....

they go like this....

Morning: 

who do you trust the least ? ......

...... the scientist or the flippin journalist ?

So we haven't found the meaning of life after all !

I still think its Paul Buchanan so here is todays SoD:

you couldn't make this up......

.... although who knows may be you could........

News reports of a gunman on the loose* wanted for shooting off duty Police officer.....

Whilst the Police say:

Public advised not to approach wanted man, Peter Reeve, 64, who is thought to be armed ....and ....have told residents of Clacton-on-Sea to stay indoors.

One neighbour was reported as saying:

he was a ‘nice chap’ and a ‘very smart man’........ and get this...... He probably has the nicest decorated flat in the whole place

So there you have it, god only knows what sort have rampage he would have gone on had he not decorated his flat so well !

[*Footnote: seems by the time of publishing this entry, news reports suggest, he might not be on the loose after all and looks like he won't have the nicest decorated prison cell either]

I like a man who speaks his mind....

.... with a name like Bradley Wiggins and language like that he should be from up t'north

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/tour-de-france-race-leader-bradley-wiggins-in-a-rage-over-dope-slurs-7923479.html

.... but though he is not from up t'north, he is still gunna win the T'dF !


so my bonus song of the day is this.....

and so another one bites the dust.....

.... more evidence of growing old when those from your youth memories pass from this mortal coil...


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18764244

So for my SoD today..... I choose this one....

and for those of a certain age....

... today is a day for feeling slightly less happy than other days...

Comedian Eric Sykes dies aged 89........

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18704263

oh thank the lord !

At last, and there was me pondering the meaning and life and what pops up with in 2 days......the scientists at Cern have actually discovered the meaning of life.....

What would we do with out them.... I can now rest easy in my bed

and so we go from the banality of life.... to the meaning of life.....

Now I fully accept that the Darwinists may have a point when they say they can prove the meaning of life, I realise that Scientists think they know the meaning of life, and of course religionists will say they are the meaning of life, as proven by the bible etal publications..... but seriously can any one really deny the beauty of clouds....they sure as hell weren't made by apes ! but look at these images are these not the meaning of life ?

Douglas Adams said it was 42.....who knows, he may be right...... although if you ask me, I think Paul Buchanan ..... he gets it..... he knows the meaning of life...... listen to this song as you look at these images.....and then try and argue against it....

The banality of life.....

As I got ready for work this morning, I was listening to BBC radio 4. I seriously could not believe what one of the articles was about ..... what is on your mantle piece tells a lot about you... The back drop to the story was that there had been a wide scale study of the human nature and that we could be judged by what we had on our mantle piece..... and so as I got ready for work on a monday morning ..... there I was wondering..... who the hell commissions such non-sense.....such is the banality of life I felt like throwing my self off my mantle piece !

The Start

There are, estimated I hasten to add, some 7 Billion people alive on earth as I type these words. But I would like to think there is only one of me. Alas if only that were true. We are not unique we are products of our DNA, and whilst it is true that DNA is a very good differentiator, it does not make us the only one of me. Take my real name designated at birth; there are at least 8 people in my county who share my name....one of these, whom is a convicted downloader of child porn no less...... but I am free of any guilt angst when I say it was not me..... for sure it wasn't.... it was another named like me.

So for all my belief that I have something new and unique to say by blogging I am not unique and my words are not new......they are just the random words mixed up in my head and then re-arranged into sentences posted on to this blog, for which the narcissist in me [which is in us all], hopes that at least one person out of the 7 billion still alive [excluding me of course] finds it worth while spending time to read the transcription of my mind ramblings.

Ist July 2012 - My first ever blog

And so this is my SoD
