                                                          Hey this isn't the programme I signed up to . This isn't what I asked for when I said I needed an audience to try and understand about whats up and what's down . I mean It was all supposed to be so simple , and you've turned it into something so complicated that I need an interpreter just to read the instructions . Why does it always have to be like that ? Why doesn't somebody or even some group come up with an easier way to open a blister pack . I mean it shouldn't be rocket science , and I'm sure its not , so why make it so f...... complicated ?                                                          Open letter to blister pack manufacturers , blahhhhhhhhhh , BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHH f...... BLAHHHHHHHHHH .                                                          Yours Truly ,                                                               The Consumer .

                                                              Now you have to explain why you said all of those things in the first place . There's no way you can escape without someone finding out what you've been thinking . The time has come for absolute honesty to win the day , and you do know that by doing so someones head is gonna roll . There is no way you can escape the outcome , I think by now you have realized you have reached the point of no return . Its time to do what you promised and to hell with all the opinions and input of other people . This is gonna be your decision , and yours alone . There will be no coming back from this , no matter how much you might want to . For years you have been threatening to do this and finally , finally you will have your day . The doubters will of course want to see proof of your transformation , they will want to leer at this change to your otherwise plain appearance . And you will gloat , you will leer right back at them and da

                                                   When someone you know quite well , who you do be in contact with practically every day , decides to withdraw into themselves and cannot be contacted in any shape or form , what's the right thing to do ? Do you just leave them to ponder whatever it is that's upsetting them , and hope everything turns out right ? I mean you don't want to appear as if you are bombarding them with calls or texts , no that would be just a bad idea . But you can't feel concerned without trying to do something , anything .                                                   Its normal to be concerned when someone is behaving totally out of character . The things that are always usual are just not there lately . The reports on how one's day has been . The never ending jokes that pass across the telephone line , and the never insulting innuendo that has become par for the course . This is normality in everyone's world . This is the way

                                                           Have you heard the latest ? Have you heard the utter bullshit that's making its way out on to the airwaves and in newspapers with regard to the huge yes vote at the week-end ? Well a certain Cardinal Pietro Parolin the vaticans secretary of state has said that the result at the week-end was deeply saddening and a huge defeat for humanity .                                                           This guy is only second in command to the pope , and if he says it , well then the pope says it . Who do these people think they are ? I do understand that everyone is going to have an opinion on this , and it is safe to say that the church would react in this way . But a defeat for humanity ? Translated that means that the holy and virtuous flock that followed the churches teachings for centuries have suddenly in  a vote become inhuman . They have suddenly become hated by god and his teachings for exercising their freedom of c

                                                         I'm complaining too much , that's all I seem to do lately complain , complain , complain . Its really not good for the soul , it has a way of leaving you feeling empty and kinda separated from the rest of the agreeable people in this world . Its getting to the stage where a certain Victor Meldrew would be pleased to be compared to my character . No , there has to come a change , because a change is what I need . I need to see the positives rather than the negatives , I need to seek the sunshine and not relish the rain .                                                         I need to just start somewhere , anywhere , and avoid everything that's out of focus and concentrate on happy smiling things .Are happy smiley things that are good and sweet and covered in candy coating the things I want to write about ? I really don't think so . And just saying that has lifted the weight that was forming on my shoulders abo

                                                            And so it has come to pass that the never ending quest for equality and the desire for love of all denominations has won the day here in Ireland . To say I was confident of the vote would be fairly accurate , if only for the reason that the Irish people are a very loving lot , and don't like the idea of somebody else suffering either emotionally or psychologically .They are very aware of the changes that are taking place in our society , they are very aware of the need to pull ourselves away from all the religious bias that has wrongly defined us for so long . It is no longer acceptable to just agree and trust a church that for so long had held sway here on this little island . All of their rules and laws were but a means to try and withhold freedom of choice from large sections of our community .                                                           Now the bishops and arch bishops are calling for change within the

                                                            This is just a view from someone who is younger than seventy and older than sixty , just so you will understand where I'm coming from . A lot of people of my age are of the opinion that age matters when it comes to making serious and lasting decisions , and that they have the edge on accuracy and importance . Not so I am compelled to say , but that is not the way all of my age would think about it . You see wisdom doesn't necessarily come with old age , wisdom can be old , but more importantly it can and does be present among the younger generations .                                                             You are always shown the usual picture of someone older passing on their wisdom to the young , and that's alright when the wisdom is wise . But not all peoples perceptions of wisdom are the same . Many times you will have arguments for and against certain teachings that were meant to enlighten their audienc
