Michael Jackson - Dead

This is a man who has been around all of my life, I grew up with him in my world.

Many of his tracks I consider as classics. I didn't like everything, some I consider to be rubbish but others I have special memories associated with them.

But, whether we like his music or not, whether we like his lifestyle choices or not, the man is a huge figure in the music industry. I also want to say, I think it is important, that none of the sex assault allegations against him were proven. Indeed, there is accurate evidence to inplicate claimants in fraud. Most likely the cases were fabrications to make money.

Certainly one would have to acknowledge he was quite screwed up, clearly apart from the 'normal' world in which we live. Does that make him a bad person? No, not really.

It is about his music anyway. His personal life is known by very few, his music is known by millions. That amount of people cannot be ignored, the man had to have 'something'.

RIP Michael Jackson, thank you for the music.

I've never been a huge fan of him, he has a few amazing songs like 'Earth Song', he was a great singer, dancer, choreographer, writer and director. He was definately a legend.
Something big ended when he died, and it's sad how he lived for the last years. Cuase I can't believe he would be in any way happy. But he had amazing music, talent, and he will never be forgotten :)

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....
