  • 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.

I bet that Woody is “heteronormative”.

Posted by Big John on July 2, 2019

I always try to expand my vocabulary by taking note of words, whenever I come across them, which appear to be new to the English language, no matter how ridiculous they seem to me. “Woke” is a perfect example.

Now I have discovered a new one .. “disablist” .. which some ‘woke’ critic used in a review of the movie “Toy Story 4” describing an entertaining film for all the family as .. “sexist, racist and disablist”!

Blimey! .. It’s a story about toys coming to life. It features .. a plastic bilingual spaceman action figure with wings, a laser and a helmet .. a Mr. Potato Head .. a Bo Peep (with “new feminist makeover”) .. A talking plastic fork .. and many more of all shapes, sizes and colours .. and .. Yes ! .. You’ve got the message .. THEY ARE NOT REAL !

It reminds me of the time when pre-woke idiots demanded that “Sesame Street’s”, ‘Bert and Ernie’ should have a same sex wedding, and had to be reminded that “They don’t exist below the waist” because …

… “They are (bloody) glove puppets” !
