It's the Chavs (innit) BUT ...

Earlier on this evening Matt was mugged (again) walking on a footpath between Kingsheath and Ryehill. Of course the blame is on the chavs that did it but ... walking along a dark footpath, unoverlooked with a bag on his back was just plain stupid as the police told him when they were round.

Thankfully the damage is mainly bruising with a head cut which needed to be glued. He also has a huge footprint on his face. Clearly he is in a lot of pain.

Though they did take his bag, all they got was his mobile. The bag and all other contents were later recovered by police. We did, at first, think they got his passport and bankers card. Annoyingly the bag didn't arrive back before he'd cancelled the card so he's got to wait on a new one now. The passport being found was a huge relief as that would have cost £66 to replace.

I have bought him a replacement phone for £53. I had to use my £20 discount from Virgin to get it that cheap. It's not that I have the money to spare but more that I know he certainly doesn't. Of course, it does annoy me that he's already gone £36 over his limit on his phone which is £36 less to take on holiday with him. At least the new phone comes with 200 minutes though I may keep that for myself or Deej as I know it'll just be something to be used ASAP to Matt. He's not mentioned anything about repaying me so I have no idea if he intends to do that ... I am probably just a fool to myself. Yes, it was the chavs but why does he have to do such idiotic things?

My thoughts are with you all at this time. Although a shocking and senseless incident positive thinking for future events should prevail...keep on looking forward

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...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
