Me in the Bunker !                                                                        Over the last week or so I have been digging and digging , tryin to create a sort of Corona Virus Free environment . I'm absolutely Knackered as it started in the back garden , and because of lack of resources it had to end up in our kitchen .Well We do have to have access to foodstuffs etc.                                                                        I dug down 8ft x 8ft , so It's a little cramped at the moment , but is slowly becoming what I intended it for . You see I had to do this to try and protect the wife and myself , real things that needed doing . I haven't installed electricity yet , but I have a very long extension cable that can be used in emergencies . Now you're probably wondering what has made me want to do this in the first place , Well the answer quite simply is " I AM ABSOLUTELY SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THIS CORONA BOLLOX " .              

                                                                      Let me relate a little story to you . It's one that truly disgusted me today . And some of you reading may not agree with my reaction , and then maybe some of you will . To the Willers I would appreciate that you shared this as wide as you can simply to bring attention to a very sad , selfish , disgusting human trait . Let me begin !                                                                       My wife Catherine , son Jeff and myself were in Tesco's today . Just shopping for the essentials as you do . On entering the store we were made aware pretty quickly that plenty of the shelves were empty . We went to the bread section which was wiped out . Not a single slice of bread was there to be had . We were suddenly made aware of this lovely old lady , on her own , desperately shaking her head . On contact with this woman , she just kept muttering to herself , " What has the world come to ? How can

                                                                        It's not difficult to imagine how people and families get so easily overwhelmed by what's going on around them . It's definitely difficult to imagine , that things will turn around and make everyone feel so much better about themselves , in light of current demands made of them through an unforgiving society . You see for me it's all about that hard hearted expectation you experience throughout your life .  The Expectation  to excel in school . The expectation to excel in sport . The expectation that somehow all of this is going to make you a better human being in the face of your peers .                                                                         I do understand that to make any sort of mark in life you do need to compete . You compete for jobs , in hindsight you compete for every single thing in your life . I probably never thought this through , and in just putting words down it has

                                                                       Hello to all of my faithful readers . I am in a bit of a quandary , and I need to get a few things off of my chest . I will make no apologies for what I am about to share , other than maybe some of you out there will relate to what I have to say . Either way I will write this in my own words and about my own personal choices to which just like you I am perfectly entitled !                                                                                   Firstly let me explain , I am unashamedly a smoker . I like smoking ! I am probably addicted to smoking , but as I stressed earlier this is my own choice . no one has coerced me . It is whether one agrees with it or not , legal to smoke cigarettes . And being a smoker one should always be aware of the non-smokers of this world . They should as I do respect their space , respect their lungs , and take all means necessary to make sure our smoke is not shared with an

                                                                     Sometimes things that we expect to last all sorts of pressures and upheaval , simply don't . Sometimes people and situations we place all of our trust in , simply disappoint us and let us down . It's not because of anything you can put your finger on easily , a lot of the time it was coming , and for whatever reason you either chose to ignore it , or you thought optimistically that it would improve . Some things can improve , but only if there is enough will and strength to help it improve . But when that effort is lacking for whatever reason , you may as well be pissin against the wind . Simply put it probably was not meant to get better , and fortunately , at times affords you the benefit of possibly being able to start afresh . This is the optimistic way to deal with such disappointment .                                                                    You can of course go the other way and blame ever

                                                              Daniel went to school today in a dress ! Daniel even decided to wear makeup today simply because he felt like it . He had no hidden agenda , he had no upbringing that would suggest that at some stage in his life he would want to do this . Daniel was not the son of gay parents , and was certainly not predisposed as a child simply acting out . No Daniel was simply bored with being dressed boringly compared to his female friends and schoolmates .He simply looked at himself one day in the full length mirror in his bedroom , and decided something had to change .                                                               His parents Terence & Grace , never really restricted Daniel to rules with regard to his development . They were of the opinion that Daniel at times liked to play and behave outside of the proverbial bubble he lived in . Never wanting to shock , but always wanting to experiment was Daniels way of expressi

                                                                            I've been playing around with a few things in my head recently , things that normally wouldn't bother me . But the other day I was befriended by someone who just simply bumped into me . I was walking in town , minding my own business and lost in my own thoughts , and lately thoughts were gonna be the last thing I was going have pit-patting around in my brain . Man there I go again , drifting away from the significance of the piece . Anyway , this guy  who bumped into me , apologized , and then proceeded to ask me for a cigarette . I think it was obvious that I smoked , butt hanging from my lip was a dead giveaway , he then joined me in smoking that cigarette and we sat down on an empty bench . Anyone who smokes will tell you , best place to enjoy a cigarette is while sitting .                                                                            He introduced himself , Amrak was his name and he h
