Beating Stephen Hendry !

                                                            Good evening as the late and great Alfred Hitchcock used to say . I have a little story for you that will blow your socks away . Its something that I was just reminded of this afternoon . After telling the tale you will wonder how I could ever have forgotten such an  awesome event in my life . You will be wonder struck , you will be impressed and above all you will look upon me not as the mere mortal that I am , but in a whole new vein of light . Before you start telling me to shut the f... up and get on with it , I will begin the tale .
                                                            Some years ago I was working for a cigarette company , who will remain nameless . This same cigarette company promoted snooker tournaments and the like . Anyway the then world snooker champion Stephen Hendry , and another ex world champion Terry Griffiths were to play an exhibition match on site where I worked . I was chosen to play with Terry , and another co-worker Nicky was chosen to play with Stephen . It was to be a doubles match , and the whole work force were to attend .
                                                           We all arrived at the chosen location for the match , I was decidedly nervous to say the least . Playing in front of thousands of people had never been something I was ever used to , and to make matters worse there was a huge wager on the match . It had to do with the losers paying for dinner .
                                                           The round of snooker started slowly , Stephen being champion was prancing about like a peacock , playing safe . I took my shot and put Stephen straight away in to a bit of bother , my safety play being my only defence . The game grinded on , with the three colours left on the table , blue , pink and black , Stephen only needed the blue . I took my shot and what a safety shot it was , blue behind the pink . Stephen fouled the pink and Terry got in , he rattled blue pink and black to end the frame with a famous victory that meant we had just beaten the world snooker champion Stephen Hendry . You will never look upon me the same ever again !
No need to examine or analyze me , I am Well Beyond That !

When you see countries committing indefensible acts on their fellow human beings , something must be said . Not just in objection to those acts , but to remind everyone exactly how evil a position can be taken by supposed civilized societies . Take the Jews for instance , because they suffered at the hands of the Nazi's , the world welcomed the survivors and leaders with open arms , saying this will never happen again . This statement in itself was to be commended and lauded by anyone with a hint of decency . The Germans had done to them things that should never be spoken off . But lest we forget , this is an example of how one society can turn on another at the drop of a hat . Now lets start thinking hypothetically , take your own country wherever you may be , lets just take the Good Old U.S.of A for example , and for the sake of argument you don't happen to be a world power with nuclear weapons and such .There you are minding your own business , and the United Nations

Happiest of New Years Everybody !

                                                                    In the huge scheme of things we live our lives in a way that has been somehow mapped out for us .  We wake every day and do the things that are expected to be done by others , but mostly by ourselves . Most of the time we are pleased by our efforts , and sometimes we just let ourselves down . And that's okay too , because we're not as perfect as we would like to be , or as others might expect us to be . We are as good as we want ourselves to be , or as we hope ourselves to be .                                                                    Now at this time of year I tend to get a little sentimental about stuff . You know what I'm talking about ? Family , the future , the dog and I suppose a little about our own mortality . The rest of the year seemingly it simply doesn't seem to matter . Christmas and even more importantly the change over from one year to another is so deep in our character and

A Ghost in my Machine !

                                                        Being forever the optimist , you'd wonder what could possibly change my position regarding the same . I never get paranoid , well nobody has complained about my demeanour recently , so I'll take that as a positive . But you know when something is not sitting with you too well ? You kinda feel that because certain things are happening so out of character , that well something you think is amiss .                                     Take for instance last Friday , I go to my laptop and practically every app I use is asking me to change my password . Normally if one asks I will put it down to something updating or whatever , but when most of them ask you kinda feel something is just not right .                                      Then you decide to change your operating system back from Windows 10 to Windows 7 your original operating system , and your laptop stops functioning entirely .Wont even let you boot up in safe mo
