  • 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.

.. and this is progress ?

Posted by Big John on August 3, 2020

Just what we need at this traumatic time when a deadly pandemic sweeps across the world …

Yes ! You guessed right … 36 new members of the House of Lords, including Boris’s little brother and an ex-captain of the England cricket team.

Some clever-clogs has worked out that their combined annual expenses will cost the British tax-payer £1.1 million a year. Mind you this isn’t even a “drop in the ocean” when you consider the billions (we don’t have), being tossed around on such idiotic schemes as barmy Bojo’s “on yer bike” and Tricky Rishi’s half price pizza plan.

Never mind. The sun is still shining, the pubs are now open, your nails can be manicured, and if you have a mind to, you can have your bum tattooed before heading for the nearest beach to join all the other halfwits who seem completely oblivious to the fact that they risk far more than getting sunburned and finding some real sand in …

… their sandwiches.
