Mr Spontaneity

Every now and then I do something totally spontaneous. This is one of those times.

I have been having that feeling that I need a holiday and seeing as we spent a long time and a challenging time getting John a passport, somewhere out of the country seemed to fit the bill.

Being a creature of habit my first thought was to Disneyland Paris but on checking found that they were fully booked on most hotels and that can only mean one thing … very long queues on everything so ‘sod that’.

Tried Gran Canaria next but that was silly money so I called the guys at Respect and asked where was cheap and poofie. So, we are ‘going to Ibiza, sunbeams sunbeams’ (I hope) this Sunday.

The price is excellent at around £300 for the two of us for a week, flights included. We do have to sort out our own transfer from the airport but I cannot see that being a huge problem, about 20 minutes in a taxi from what I can see.

Off subject, excuse I … my ENT consultant arranged an appointment for me to go visit him on 19th up the hospital so I put in a complaint and have said that they have just a couple of weeks to resolve the mess before I make a formal complaint.

Matt got his bike replaced after the incident whereby it got knackered and he was also able to swap his shifts over. The student loan people have approved everything as well so he should know how much he is getting and when he is getting it this week.

Robin is being a total star (back on topic) and taking us to and from the airport … I may have another favour to ask him to make my enjoyment complete.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
