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.

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...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
