Merry Christmas

2014-12-25 00.01.21

Well, another Christmas, I’ve had a few of those now, how many? Well, you should know that already dear reader.

2014 has been a bit of a roller coaster year, strange I’d say that, I quite like roller coasters!

I travelled all the way around the world this year you know, easterly all the way, that’s a lot of miles

I’ve loved and I’ve lost, starting to wonder whether … well, there may be someone, watch this space. Time shall tell, no rush.

Too much time has been spent in hospital either as a visitor or a patient, not one of my favourite places.

I have been shit on from a great height by at least two, if not more people this year, actually, it’s quite a few more if I am honest with myself about it, not a good year for respect 2014.

Oh boy, the debt, hell there is too much of that. Too much of a lot of things we could all do without this year.

But, on the whole a lot of good happened, there is always good in amongst the bad, it’s like that, life.

I’ve learnt a lot more this year about what true friends are (and what they’re not) and, I am a very lucky man. As someone once said, no man is a failure who has friends, that so true.

We are measured not by what we have but what we’ve given away, that too is true.

I am starting to think about a future I’d not have imagined this time last year, can it work? I don’t know, maybe. Is it a really sensible, well thought out possible future? Hell no! I’m lucky though, I have a safety net if it all goes wrong! Anyway, no changes for a few years.

So, it’s Christmas Day 2014. Anyone wanting Santa to visit is tucked up soundly in bed, right now, there is another man entirely that I’d like to visit!

Well everyone, you’ve got the best part of the week to make your plans for 2015. This year I am breaking from tradition, I have no plans for next year!

God bless us, every one.

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....
