  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC.
    That’s ‘Before Computers’.

    Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as

    World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all… Archbishop Temple’s School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock ‘n’ Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during ‘The Cold War’…and then

    I became ‘a family’. Which meant that I sort of missed the ‘swinging sixties’, but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the ‘Thatcher Years’ I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 60 years of happy marriage.

Here we go again. – Part Five.

Posted by Big John on March 7, 2012

I’ve just been watching the TV news, where I learned that six more British soldiers have been killed in the war in Afghanistan. The reporter said that all ‘ISAF’ forces should be out of that country by the end of 2014, and that the Taliban would be welcomed back by most of the population in many areas. In other words this terrible loss of life will continue for another couple of years, and all for nothing !

As if this was not bad enough, I picked up a newspaper only to read that ‘Dick-head’ Dave has suggested that Iran’s President Ahmadinejad’s drive to develop a nuclear bomb was potentially a direct threat to the United Kingdom.

Does anyone remember when another prat of a prime minister went along with an even bigger prat of a president when he also felt threatened by another nutter and his “Weapons of Mass Destruction” ?

Now I read that in the good old ‘US of A’ people are asking the question .. “Who would be more likely to nuke ‘Eye-Ran’ .. Romney or Santorum ?”, and although Obama is hoping that Israel delays any action until after the November election, the opinion from US political adviser Robert Kagan is .. “If Obama were to use force against Iran, then the election is over .. He would win overwhelmingly.“… Now that’s what I call …

… bloody scary !
