  • For those who don’t know, you never will…

    In the media many folks are now ‘chatting’ openly about thought problems? This I wrote about 12 years ago, and makes more sense than ever…

  • MP helps again

    So, it seems my MP might have helped sort something out with the benefits. The welfare finally accepted everything, but the hassle getting there was dreadful. My MP – Tory, I know I know, but they have been very good. I’m hoping this blip is sorted and then I should be covered through 2019. Next, at 45 years old I never expected my body to pack in, tried working through Remploy, body packs in, yet I still feel embarrassment to receive benefit help.

  • And so the United Kingdom voted out…

    I did say I would try to go about a week without doing politics. In that week it’s been amazing for the UK. We’ve had campaigners in the remain camp just being abusive to the leavers, look, a democratic vote happened, the vote was leave, and behold a few remain took to the streets and social media not accepting democracy = fascist.

    The scare tactic to those ‘naive’ remain campers has not materialised. The markets are back, soon the pound will be, the countries that threatened brexit would be a problem are, and have been proved wrong! This is where it can get confusing. Most folks think fascism is from those hard core right wing lots, but, and has now been proved, a daft few of remain took to the streets and any media, to try get their way – that my friends, is fascism.

    So much was mentioned about Nigel Farage in front of that dammed poster, yet not alot was mentioned about the dreadfully racist poster; skinhead v old Asian lady on a see-saw, just terrible…

  • Which Poster is Racist?

    Much is being mentioned about the recent photo of ‘Farage’ in front of a poster. So, very little was mentioned about the poster from that group called ‘OBV’ who posted a poster of a skinhead abusing an old Asian lady. Now, in my simple mind, the most abusive racist poster is most certainly the see-saw one, hands down its dreadful. Why wasn’t this given the huge media shit that the leave campaign get? Oh, erm…

    Your choice folks.

  • Now Let Me Just Say This

    Regarding the EU referendum. I have wanted to leave the European Union for a very long time, certainly since I served in the Royal Air Force in the 1980’s, and definitely since 2004. What the leave and remain campaigners say means nothing to me, I was always going to vote out as soon as the opportunity arrived.

    All the doom and gloom if ‘we’ remain or leave does my fucking head in. Because I want to leave does not mean I am a racist, bigot, xenophobe etc.

    I want the UK to take control of itself.

  • He tried to try.

    He found 281 hard work, all the arguing, the shouting, the grabbing pushing & shoving, the lack of respect, being controlled by fear…

    43330 saved him, an adolescent second childhood maybe, he was hard work during then, he could have been better, he is very glad it happened.

    He even had a third childhood, this time with his sons, most certainly not perfect, he failed, & tried, he could have done much better.

    He is a nice person, human.

    He loves life, but not his own, though things can change…

    Beard

  • Timber – not.

    As he gets older, more is remembered. ‘By thas putting on timber lass’ and others in the room laughed. This was not the wedge, but a sure sign of how that family were and things to come. They drove her nuts, but he thought it was simply normal. Maybe he should have been brave and cut that family loose as she wanted to, and finally did, but you see, he thought that behavior was normal…

  • Bradford City I love You…

    So, I must not harp on! Bradford City to be taken over by a couple of German guys.

    Chairmen Mark and Julian have been the Bear Grylls of Bradford City Association Football Club. They kept us alive, we survived, then moved onward to upwards. Two Wembley trips and promotion, jeez! Huge thanks, but still the few doom and gloom idiots look at it as gloom and doom…

    As for the new owners, please make sure you understand the passion we have for our club

    In no particular order, I would like Valley Parade to be bought and owned by the club. Phil and staff have been brilliant on next to no investment, so, they need a chance if investment comes. For sure I do not want a Geoff Richmond philosophy of spend, get us to the premiership, and after two seasons at the tier top, drop, drop, drop and not forgetting the two busted times! Gibb, erm, he had making some ‘cash’ out of City on his agenda – twat.

    Welcome Mr Edin Rahic and Mr Stefan Rupp to Bradford City – love us.
