Day 11 of 2022 : Little Bit Of Politics







As Ben Elton Would Say..



"..little bit of politics.."

I have been trying to avoid mentioning anything about the covid pandemic on here. Like many of us, I have obeyed the rules. For the last two years I have got my jabs-all three now-and reduced my social interactions to the absolute bare minimum. I have managed somehow to avoid caching covid, not had a single cold, sniffle in two years. I have done what the elected people told me to and done so without much complaint. I understand how pandemics work and they do not go away after a couple of months. It takes years, and we are going to have to live with this virus forevermore. At some point, I am going to take a bigger risk and go to an indoor event like a proper gig with lots of people.

I am going to have to prove that I am tripled jabbed, I may have to do a lateral flow test as well. I will follow all that because it is not a big deal, not something to take to the streets about and get angry. There are many, many other things to take to the streets about. The way our NHS is being gutted and sold off on the quiet, the blatant and brazen corruption going on in front of us.

The current Government make the early Georgian era corruption look like playschool. This lot have taken the money-grabbing, backroom deals to a whole new level. Even when caught red-handed they try to brazen it out. Owen Paterson attempted that even though members of his own party found him guilty, he ran to the PM and tried to get the rules changed. Luckily ensuing stench of this woke up parliament and they blocked it. As the result, Paterson loses his job and Tories the seat in By-Election. I guess there is some sort of Karma. If Paterson had taken his medicine he would still be there, no doubt wrangling money from other deals.

All this comes from the head down. Boris has spent his entire career lying and cheating. When caught he blunders about until he gets sacked. He has lost 3 jobs for not telling the truth. Will he get the sack from his current job? Never underestimate the Tories ability to get out of trouble. Sacrificing Bojo might be something they are contemplating.

What is that lefty alternative comedian for the 80's Ben Elton doing these days? Oh yea he's a Multi-Millionaire writing crap musicals

Day 25 of 2022 : Behind the Walled Garden of Delights

In Your Garden of Delights.. The other day I noticed a story about Disney clawing back a lot of their content is on Netflix. It would appear the days of shared content across platforms is diminishing. The streaming providers want to keep you in their walled garden for as much as possible. If you are a serious tv watcher you are now going to have to subscribe to at least three if not four providers. All that to watch your fave film or TV show. My arithmetic is not that great but it would be safe to say that would be not shy of well over £350 a year. Ouch. We have Prime and Netflix and we do watch them a lot. I had Prime when it was Love Film and £4.99 was a good price. When Amazon came along and waved their wonga at Love Film I continued to only pay £4.99 for years and years. It was down the contract that Amazon had to fulfil. I have since upgraded to a Prime user so now fork out £7.99. My wife decided to pay for Netflix, as she wanted to watch a certain show for a bit. I have to be hon...

Day 24 of 2022 : Good Times and Bad Times

  As The Song Doesn't Go.. Bad Time My week started well when I had realised that I had left my wallet in the Takeaway last night. There is quite a lot of people traffic through that particular Takeaway. Some of them look like they would not bat an eyelid at trying a lost card. This morning I went through the process of cancelling everything. I kept checking the online bank to see if any overnight spending spree had happened. I went round early this evening and the good man in Takeaway had retrieved it. I had placed my black wallet on the black table in there. The takeaway had arrived a bit sooner than I had expected. The table camouflaged the wallet so I did not see it when I got up to get my takeaway. Being distracted by my silly phone had not helped either. Good Time I had a bit more of a productive day at work today. Being left alone for most of the day helped. I actually said that in our end of day meeting. Not sure how that landed with people but no one passed any comments on...

Day 27 Throwback Thursday Album

 Secret Treaties. I am wheeling one album that had a big impact on my musical journey. Blue Oyster Cult's "Secret Treaties". Like everyone I had heard BOC's classic "Don't Fear The Reaper". That song was my introduction, my older brother had all the first three albums. Called the "Black and White" albums as all the covers were pencil drawings. BOC 1974 There is not a bad track on the album, BOC were hitting their stride musically and in the writing. The whole album oozes lyrical menace. From the opening of "Career Of Evil" ( Co penned by Patti Smith who was Alan Lainer's girlfriend at the time). My favourite is the proto-punk "Dominance and Submission". It sounds like a plot for a David Cronenberg movie that he could of made. The closing epic Alien abduction/invasion "Astronomy" inspired many a future metal band. Metallica went out of its way to cover it. My advice is to put it on now, you will be off your seat...
