I was gonna make a comment on Sir Big Smog Offgeld and his induction into the Tory party.....................as a consultant......... on poverty, family values, hairstyles, socialist bank balancing acts, corruption in African politics, the record industry and peripheral juicy scams. Nice one Smog. Ris Smog B. Foflegd for president I say. 2005 ends in a flash! Posted by Picasa

Well, it gets to that time in life when messages are sometimes not so cool, anticipated....sure, but not so good. Had one yesterday................that got me going. Mom had had a stroke..............all be it a mini stroke but a stroke all the same......and for me one stroke is the next thing to a stroke......big stroke, small stroke.....they are all leading the same way.............so, things are begining to change again, moving on. Have a happy New Year . But things are not soooo bad. Met Tadzio and Bob when they came across with Danny, Tadzio's father from Holland. Nice guys doing coffee in Strabucks, Soho. Posted by Picasa

Leicester Square :One light working and running man with mobile. Went up town last night (trouserless) and went to the movies...saw "The Beat that my Heart Missed". What a nice little movie....sort of sexy, good tale well told. Worth a visit to the cinema.........and then catch up with it a year later on DVD. The evening was warm almost sultry, so being trouserless was not a problem....that man thing, cold weather and shrinkage....not nice....bad aesthetics...........and nobody seemed to blink an eyelid. Passed through China Town on the way to catch the bus home and stopped for a roast duck and rice. Delicious. Posted by Picasa

I was just spending the sweetest time at the gym, doing gym things, watching muscles grow, define themselves and show off to the phatt phucker on the rowing machine as well as stimulating the geezer with the body of god to do more. All very satisfying, body feeling strong, the brain washed clean.......all that was needed now was a good shower and springy walk home. Do the shower thing, dry the bod and then.....................some sad son of a stool sample has nicked my trousers........this cannot be true. Saddam, say this isn't so. What a cock up, how can some one nick another persons trousers, underwear maybe for some fetish trip, but a regular pair of trousers, naaaaaaaaaaah, what is the world coming to when you can't take your trousers off for fear of them being nicked. The gym people called the police, the police would make a report and do nothing. I want them to stop any man with a half decent pair of trousers on and take them in for questioning. It is a bit funny ..........

No, please no....no, no, no, no fucked up American official, soldier,general, care in the community president or other imbecile would allow that to happen. Saddam...please...say this isn't so. They wouldn't do that to you. They might have stuck a stick in your mouth to get a sample for some DNA profile and all of it on TV for us to savor. They may even have thrown a nasty smelly non toxic gas down your Saddam Rathole when they were capturing you...but they would never ever torture you...............stop being American, ..........tell the truth.....you're bullshitting.....this is a stupid/clever Saddam ploy to discredit the US forces, cause havoc at your trial. I want you behind bars Saddam, I want you to be somewhere hellish, somewhere to rot and reflect on your grotesque rampaging insane rule. I almost want you dead like your miserable manic sons who tortured and killed with impunity. No....I want you in a cell with cocksucking Bob Mugabe.....he who is sooooooooooofucked i...

21st December: went this morning to my chiropractor-needed him to play with the spine. He said it was looking good...though he still spent half an hour manipulating bits and pieces. On the way back I thought I would pass through Clapham on the way to Brixton Hill where I used to live........hence the pic. Clapham Park Estate looked much the same. A few odds and ends have been renovated and there were a number of forlorn looking shop fronts with the Clapham Park Project Logo attached. Two were about work opportunities! I wonder where the £56 milllion has gone.......a few pockets, a load of consultants.........and nothing much else. Posted by Picasa

Myrtle Tree blosoming in December! How strange is that? It still has the berries from the end of summer and yet it has started to put out a couple of flowers. Will keep a check on it.........see if it turns into an alien a broom or perhaps a lost soul. Posted by Picasa

So Bono is on the cover of Time Mag with Bill and Melinda Gates...what the fuck for? Getting jumped up local politicians who managed to stab the backs of many to become a national politico..........or, bless him, someone like Gordy Browny (who thinks he's gonna be the next PM) an international politico to write off the debts of some of the most despotic/corrupt regimes in the world. So what's good about that? Perhaps these grotesque "leaders" might now waste more......billions buying Bono Shomo wrap around glasses ,U2 cd's, a few Merc's for their many wives, countless offspring and grim hangers on as well as the new weapons they will need to defend themselves against their starving populations. And then Bono Heado....what then? Sing a song....arse lick another politician......or entire political gathering( is that why u wear shades like welding helmets)? Who will you ask them to supply weapons to? Just remember mate how the politicians get to where they do.

exaggerated morning. So this is the week before Christmas. The last week of college was hell. I was supposed to have collected in the work the students had completed for me and assess it............. instead I "had to" give over the time they had with me to complete the work for others! What else happened last week....yeh I was dead tired. I was almost killed three time a day by fucked up car drivers...........it's usually twice a day, going to and coming home from work, last week the getting to work people had more on their minds than usual. Not killing a cyclist seemed to be pretty low down on their priorities. Perhaps scratching their arse took precedent! Went to dinner with my students....................unbelievably sweet event...............then we went ice skating later. Yesterday was odd.............I had no energy...not even to get to gym.....so just lay around and chilled. Watched the final of X-Factor..what can one say!

 

 

 

Zimbabwe continues to slide into the deepest darkness..................and the nightmare has still to begin...................OMG. So..... here is a picture of this little bit of London as an antidote.

Spent last Friday with a group of my students up at Camden Market. I managed to get myself into one of the pictures. Only three out of 15 students had been there and amazingly................ those three and only one other had heard of it......the biggest, trendiest market in London. What else? A group of ...............17-22 year olds.............never heard of communism, most had no idea what a revolution meant....not even that somethings revolve! 

teeth suck sound........well........I am tired...in need of a break...........what you talking about...needing a break.............u jus been on one!...........I know, but it may jus be a combo of the cold and age that have finally made me know I'm am tired having worked all day without a reasonable break....day after day after day. Chritmas is almost here.....................I am doing my level best to avoid it....like the street lights though.

What can one say about last week. George Best's parts were offered up for donation.........surely not folks........anyone for his liver and all the other body parts that had failed........get a grip will you...............and he went the week that we are now able to drink 24/7! The West Country/Cornwall/Bodmin and Wales gave up because it snowed............how is that possible.......this is winter...........ah........could it just be because of total areshole drivers.....lets think now.....how old would they be 25-35yrs.....thats it then........that's the problem.....Thatchers Children.............don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.........pig ignorant.............they are unable to comprehend that snow and ice are actually SNOW and ICE and that they have particular properties that will almost certainly have consequences to road users should they have fallen or formed on the roads overnight. No matter how important the arsehole drivers think they are, ice and sno...

There we are, braving the elements, standing up for the rights of all free men and women in FE colleges in the UK.

The sky should have been pristine.....but every last bit of "cloud" was made from aircraft vapour trails......global dimming over London on a grand scale. "Nice to travel by plane though, innit?" 

Another.......... on the way to Gym photos....the frost was clinging to the shadow of the trees as the sun rose and started tracking across the sky. 

....and this is how it all began. 

until it's squashed crossing the road or the fox that pays visits to the garden has it for dinner................so where HAVE all the litlle beasts gone? Perhaps squirrel pie! Perhaps this new one is son of friendlly beast......perhaps not.....maybe this one is a mad cannibal squirrel that's noshed the rest of the family..........check the mad eye...even Picassa Red Eye Removal had no impact on it. Had a bad couple of days with gastric flu...serious vommiting, soooooooooooo intense my nose bled....not a pretty sight. 

Pooch was poisoned about three times with rat poison....not sure why, nor by whom but came back each time to wag the tail.

Today we were on strike across the nation............NATFE.....that is..............sad/cold, further education teachers stood outside colleges the length of the country with banners saying someting like.....give us some more money ...please............perhaps another 6,000 a year would not go amiss........it would just bring us up to the same wage as primary/secondary school teachers. 'fraid nobody is gonna listen....not after the "black propaganda" of the previous day when "FAILING FE COLLEGES TO BE SOLD OFF TO PRIVATE COMPANIES" was the news item on all the media.............strange really...the timing........and not a word was said about the strike the next day. My view on strike action as changed..........until today I was a scab......I worked through every strike called................my students were more important to me. However, last year I cracked up, the workload was unsustainable..........the advice I was given was "Do your job badly, that'...

What a great Avenue.......what a great country.... ...what a great big number of $zim's to the pound......now around $Z175,000.00.....word on the street is that there will be $Z700,000.00 to the $US by the end of the year................what a great big f**k up. 

Set up a new computer yesterday. Not too sure how every thing is working yet..... so posted a test pic...and it all worked....which is cool. Picture of tiny shower room. The French kids are still rioting in the streets around the country...... I bet the government is hoping for some early snow..........there's nothing like crap weather to take the edge off things. The intergration thing is a hard one for many.......I want to intergrate...but I am scared-I am a different colour-my accent/language is different-my food is other and I pray to strange gods. They (people, largely of good will) are not too sure they want me to intergrate, nor reckon I can because of my colour-and because my accent and language is different-my food is something else and I pray to strange gods..................so..... it suites everyone that I stay in my own little ghetto with other aliens.... similar to me and I intergrate with them..........and....well......... this can sort of work while the economy is ...

Had a thought today about how fragile some believers are in their God and their beliefs. Just about anything and everything seems to be able to threaten them.......what's this all about folks? Did the God who created everything actually, really, honestly, no word of a lie create everything? Thats seems to be the crunch...."Yes they say...yes he/she/it did"......"Okay then", I say "Deal with DNA, evolution and all that jazz" "Oh No" they say......that's not in the Bible...he did not create THAT. How sad it is that they mistrust their God and themselves so much that they feel threatened by a perfectly locical, feasable, rational set of facts and evidence of how things function....................................................................................................................... ............... that the crazy old beast............spirituality......that spark of living...that twinkle in the eye of pain and joy and how am I in ...
