  • 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.

Deluded ‘Dubya’.

Posted by Big John on August 30, 2007

I gather that the latest news from ‘Planet Bush’ is that ‘Dubya’ is unhappy with ‘Eye-Ran’ and has … “authorised our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran’s murderous activities’’. Not to mention nicking Iranian citizens on the streets of Baghdad just to raise the tension a bit… He added … “I will take all actions necessary to protect our troops“. No, he doesn’t mean that he will bring them home. He means that he may start another little ‘war on terror’. 

Old ‘mission accomplished’ George ran true to form in a recent speech when he listed America’s historical conflicts and repeatedly said the US had “got the job done” and would continue to do so. Now there’s a man who knows his history !

Speaking to thousands of military veterans (does he claim to be one ?) at the American Legion convention, the ‘good ole boy’ said that if the US was driven out of the Middle East … “the region would be dramatically transformed in a way that could imperil the civilised world“. He forgot the bit about the oil !

Why does this ‘born again’ idiot still ramble on about Iraq being linked to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre in 2001? … Next he will be telling us about ‘weapons of mass destruction’ !

This moron in the White House seems to have as much understanding of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan as those loony Korean evangelists, who thought that they could convert the Taliban to Christianity.

As this religious nutter of a president nears the end of his term in office I have to hope that God doesn’t speak to him again, as their last little chat resulted in one almighty cock-up !

Judging by the massive new United States Embassy in Baghdad, already being called ‘Fortress America’, lunatic George seems to think that the US will be in Iraq for quite some time. Unfortunately the building seems to have been designed to convey no confidence in the Iraqi people and little hope for their future; so let us hope that this time, unlike Saigon, there is plenty of room …

…   to land the helicopters on the roof !
