  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC.
    That’s ‘Before Computers’.

    Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as

    World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all… Archbishop Temple’s School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock ‘n’ Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during ‘The Cold War’…and then

    I became ‘a family’. Which meant that I sort of missed the ‘swinging sixties’, but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the ‘Thatcher Years’ I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 60 years of happy marriage.

Have you missed me ?

Posted by Big John on November 27, 2021

No ! … I’ve not quite given up blogging altogether. I guess that I have just “run out of steam” after all these years. The ‘targets’ for my rants remain more or less the same, and, at times, I forget and repeat subjects which I covered long ago.

However ! … Having said that, I was tempted to “air my views” on the recent not so jolly ‘junket’ that was COP26, where leaders of the main planet polluting nations didn’t bother to turn up to the conference. Blimey! .. Even Greta ‘Thingy’ said that it was .. a “two-week long celebration of business as usual and blah, blah, blah”. Remind me, did she and most of the other eco-warriors not arrive by plane followed by clouds of carbon dioxide ?

Just before I go I must confirm that the same old gang of self serving, hypocritical, back stabbing, slippery chancers are sitting in the House of Commons playing with their smartphones and counting their expenses, while bonkers Boris dreams of building a bridge to Ireland at a cost of £335 Billion ! …

… need I say more ?
