Rights and Responsibilities

I've got a part-time job writing out MPs' expenses; it was either that or working on the next Harry Potter. I'm kidding of course, but as unemployment rises and the number of people facing redundancy increases is it really fair that MPs are claiming for their food, beds, bed linen and even dog food. It's in the rules they scream, but is it really in the spirit of those rules?
Are these people not elected by us to attempt to make the country a better place.
Keith Vaz has a second home in Westminster and a family home in Stanmore, some 12 miles away, I would willingly give up my seat on the tube for him and save the tax payer quite a few pennies.

Can't we get rid of them all and turn the House of Commons into a youth centre, whilst most of us cry over Secret Millionaire and the generosity not just of the millionaires, but of those 'ordinary' people who give time and money to those less fortunate, it's a sad country when those elected to help us cost us more than they shuld. What are they doing with their salaries????

What do you call 50 Mps at the bottom of the sea?
A really good start!

Lost Connection

On Wednesday my phone died. This maybe due to the fact that I was using in the bath whilst wet shaving, and I may possibly have washed it, mixing up my left and right hands. It's a wonder I didn't shave my ear off.

Now I've never been tied to my phone and if you send me a text I tend to treat it a bit like a letter and I'll reply eventually, but suddenly with no phone all of my friends disappear, becasue it's also my address book. I didn't even know my home phone number!!!

Now the phone is back and those lovely people at Orange have sent me a new one, but all the number I saved to the phone and not the sim have gone!!

So when I get a text I usually have to say and you are???????

So save you numbers to the sim and try not to save with your phone and you'll be fine.

I've done my back in.

I only bent down to pick up a pair of pant (my own, on my own floor) and the pain went through me like butter through a knife. I can't even stand u long enough to iron a shirt, and am still sitting in my dressing gown at a little after two in the afternoon. 

But it's good to take a step back from the world every now and then. 

I have sent various emails to workmates and I've even put the washing machine on, although carrying one item at a time to it was arduous. I seem to have lost what little strength I have in my arms; at this rate I'll not be able to open the Baileys!

It's a beautiful day and i've got all the windows open and the breeze is blowing through, remember still in dressing gown.

I might shuffle to the kitchen to make a cup of tea in a moment or I might just sit some more. In this age of laptops with wireless and 24 hours TV we can miss just sitting about and doing nothing, but I heartily recommend it, and suggest you try it before you body says, "Here mate we're stopping now, cos you keep rushing about and we've had enough."

he he turned out nice again innit

All Change

It seems like it's al change at the moment for many of my friends. Some have fallen out of love and found new love; one has come into money and have been jetting off round the world and still more have changed careers and moved into one of the 33 boroughs that we call London.

Change can be a bit scary for some people, you think that you are on solid ground when you suddenly notice that the sands have been shifting and you're a bit further down the beach or in fact closer to the see. You can, of course, try to fight this movement or try and recapture your misspent youth, and with the latter you are certainly well catered for.

Facebook's series of top 5 best records, movies, toys from your youth etc; all help you remember this and as my school friends turn 40, I could spent more time with them than I ever did when when we went to Coppice High School; it wasn't a performing arts school in our day.

I've done some big changes over the last few years, and some have been good and some not so, but I'm sure the wind that the brought them didn't mean me any harm. So if some frigger has moved your cheese, then pop down the shops and get  some more!
