Words of inspiration to help me cope with my jaunt away.
It doesn’t matter much who is in POWER or which revolutionary abbreviation takes over. Those who have learned not to do foe themselves and have to depend on others – end up with diddly squat.

I have posted about Ade and his wish to see an open air theatre built in Brighton. His dedication to theatre in the short time I have known him is second to none, so I intend to do as much as I can to help his wish become fulfilled.

I have put a link on my page so people can go direct to the webpage and simply ‘like’ or offer as little as possible. If 100,000 people gave a £1 etc it will all fall into place.
Please spread this as wide as possible throughout your networking.

Then you have come to the right place…..for a small donation you can help in contributing to the building of an open air theatre. As previously mentioned an old friend Ade Bunting has been diagnosed with cancer, but as theatre & construction run through his blood, he is determined to raise enough funds to enable the open air theatre can be built.

Please contribute and spread far and wide

Barnsley need to lose, Crystal Palace need to thrash Peterborough and we need to beat Brighton – if this all aligns then Wolves will remain in the Championship. I rue the day when I said I preferred Wolves in the championship because at least we won matches.
There is also the 4 goal swing which needs to be considered, soI will be following the Palace score witha keen eye – if Wolves win I can’t see it by a big margin, so Palace need to score at least 3 with keeping a clean sheet.
If Wolves go down, so will we all. The sinking feeling in the Midlands will be so great that the country will sink in the middle, bringing the two ends of the country together before we slip down into the abyss below.
So you see the country’s fate is intrinsically attached to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Come On me babbies.
UTW
I personally will blame Kevin (you know who you are) if we go down as a result of Palace’s incompetence in front of goal!

On Sunday we found out that an old acquaintance, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. His moving message on Facebook summed up his spirit in life.
Whilst not a close friend, he did live with us for a while upon his return from Africa and was always great company to go out with.
I wish you well Ade, you will be sadly missed by many.

No posting for last two days as it was my beautiful wife, Lou’s birthday, a trip to Kauffmans at the Berkley, and lots of friends later I have ventured into illness. Stuffy head, fever weakness, dilerium and I hear about triangle flapjacks being banned in a school. I believe it was more for the accuaracy of the angles rather than points, as they also serve shiroken biscuits.
After the success of Picklesfest and meeting Pickles owner Dave Corbett, SNTB are now turning our focus to promoting London’s Lake District. Did Cumbria think they could have it their own way for so long?

Well today I am off the see Palace vs Leeds with Pickles the dog! Yes, South Norwood Tourist Board have managed to orchestrate Pickles to grace the hallowed turf at half time. After our interview on Canadian radio and mention in the New York Post, it’s becoming an interesting year already.

I’ve been talking about it for ages but finally got around to doing it. I know have a dollar sign at the bottom of back to compliment the cross on my back.
They both are symbols of oppression and I have them on my back to symbolise the weight of the world on one’s back.
Damn fine work by Time Bomb in Croydon.
Fuck capitalism and fuck religion!

The reference is to my son Nye and Nye Bevin, after whom he was named.
In the years leading up to 2008 hundreds of people died at Stafford Hospital amid “appalling” levels of care, and my Grandad, John ‘Jack’ Cooper, was one of them. He told me and my Dad that the level of care was appalling and the nurses were evil; but he could be a cantancarous, arrogant old sod (a bit like me) and we assumed that like everything else, it was just him.
I miss him dearly.

Vomiting, tonsillitis, coldness and a bouncy 5 year old who cannot contain his excitement at the snow. Cancellation of good friends coming round for dinner (boo hoo no trifle), criticism of my grammar by Lily – the world is coming to an end!
On another note – trifle actually came special delivery (Melvyn the handful didn’t eat it all), along with shortbread for Nye – Thank you Jane.
And I’ve been made to watch Glee (Ashen don’t you dare laugh!)
Normal cynical ranting (with poor grammar) will resume soon!
