I fancy suing my parents for Murder

Sounds like a plan! Although, with my father already being dead, i'm guessing that should be singular. That's fine. I don't like my mother anyway!

So, now I've got your attention, do you, the reader, know of any good lawyers. It's my mother you see. She's killed 5 people, and is currently directly responsible for at least 14 others as a result of her actions. Impressive huh? And you all gasped at the horror of me not liking the woman earlier!

See, it's like this. I have, from my mother, gained 3 brothers and a sister. Were that my father was still alive, this would increase by one. But he isn't. So it won't. All of which, were planned children. All of whom, because of her actions, are now guaranteed to die.

My mother was in her mid twenties when she started popping out my siblings. I on the other hand, was born on her 39th birthday. As i recall, I didn't have much say in the matter. This, as far as I'm aware, is a trend she followed not just with me, but with the others too. We were expunged! Extruded! Forced into the world without so much as a by your leave.

By that age, (mid twenties), I think it's safe to say that she was aware that, she was mortal. Being a God fearing woman she knew well the consequences of living on this earth. Original sin, and eternal damnation awaiting those of us who do not follow umm.. *insert deity here*.

And yet, cognitively, she chose to create, not one, but FIVE new entities to bring into the world, knowing that ultimately these beings will suffer, degenerate, wither, and die. All because of her actions. She knew that by her actions, she condemned 5 beings to their separate deaths, deaths which could have been avoided.

In fact... she knew all this, before even beginning on the task of creation of these entities.

If that's not preconceived... I don't know what is!!

And so now I sit here. Trapped in an existence I didn't ask for. Enchained in a mortality which tortures my imaginary soul. Clothed in a body which even yesterday sought to remind me of it's fragility, via the medium of a cheese slicer and my own thumb.

Someone needs to be held responsible. That person, has to be my mother. For the deaths of my brothers, my sister, my nephews and nieces, and ultimately, myself as well, there has to be recompense! She has killed before, and considering the way my family breeds, she will, indirectly, doubtless kill again.

Get me my lawyer, and let justice take its course!

Mildly annoyed at a couple of Holland quirkies!

... possibly the wrong word. lol Incandescent might come closer at times. We bought a microwave a few days ago, which I must admit was my idea. I've missed the facility to "nuke" things, be it Stag Chilli, Xmas pudding (of which I have just indeed partaken of...), or baked spuds. The micro was on offer.. wasn't all singing all dancing, just a simple thing that'll save ass loads of time on stuff. We get to the counter to but the thing and the woman swipes Esther's card, and then asks her her name, and then her address, to which I ask... why does she need your name n address?? She's buying a microwave ffs!! Turns out that they don't require it at all, but E had already given both out happily with no questions asked. And people wonder why they get credit card scams. But wait, there's more. A nice subtle little surcharge was added to the price. Nearly 10% of the value of the microwave was added on! Why?? A recycling tax??!! Apparently it's to pay for disposal of old items which this one was replacing, or perhaps for the disposal of this one after it's done. I forget which but i think it was the first! I was fuming! If the price on the item say X pounds... or rather Euros... then that's what you should pay. I wouldn't have bought it had it have been just me, simply because the cost of the item is not that which it is advertised at! I have something of a theory about it. I suspect that, holland has fallen into the trap, not of blaming fruit, but of becoming a lovely little place where everyone pays by credit card, and basically they pick up their item, swipe their card, and it's done. The extra chunk, 9 times out of ten, wont even be noticed. Nice quick way to make a profit me thinks. Not a happy bunny.

And then there's today. Revelling in the glory that is the microwave, I went out on a mission for spuds. Potatoes. Aardappels. Oh yes... tuna and baked spuds was looking hopeful for tea, and xmas pudding maybe afterwards. but.. No chance. I went to a green grocers and a main supermarket, neither of which wanted to see loose potatoes. Buy them in 5 and 10 pound bags I could, but not able to pick ones out for myself was I. I felt myself leaning to the dark side, and so, returned home to molest the pudding earlier than expected. Of course, i had to eat first, how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your dinner.. so I made cheese butties. And succumbed to the evil that is the cheese slicer, nicely lopping off the edge of my left thumb! I'm hoping that there is no cheese detritus wedged in the wound!

However, all is not bad. I have to say we've also picked up a printer, which makes lovely photo prints. Very impressive. And, we went out and joined the gym properly, so soon am hoping to be back to how I used to look! Give or take an inch or two on the waist! Also.. I've installed G.I.M.P, which is a seriously good piece of free art package type thingy! And.. we went out Monday... had a good day all ways round, lovely duck meal, few drinks, and generally had a good day. I'd been ill for the week before, so it was good to be up, about, and healthy.

So.. now all i have to do is suss out this thing again. Yet more changes to the format have occurred, and the wifey is home so my tea making skills are required, so.. if this doesn't come out right.. it's not my fault

Modern Times, Obama, Gaza, and Ban Ki-Moon

I cant help but chuckle. I've sat here just reading about how the UN gen Sec has moaned lots about the destruction in Gaza, and is insisting on a big ole investigation. But.. this is after the ceasefire. After the destruction.

If any other country, say for example Iran, decided to do what Israel did to Gaza.. there would be zillions of sanctions, talks of invasion doubtlessly, and other such things. But,in this world, in modern times, people excuse happenings, allow things to happen, and then comment afterwards, especially when its possible that, if they were to speak out/do something before it ends, it might leave themselves open to attack. That kind of stinks of double standards. Wrong is wrong. It should be portrayed as such, and dealt with as such.

And then, the tv happens upon jolly old Obama being inaugurated, and I chuckle again. Do people really truly believe that this guy is going to alter anything? He comes proffering hope... but hope is an illusion. Hope exists always in the future, never in the now, and is used like a carrot, dangled before the donkey in order to make said donkey go where it is being led.

I wonder at the interesting controversy regarding where he was born. His grandmother and step bro / sis's say he was born in Kenya, as did a Kenyan ambassador, who then claims to have misunderstood the questions... lol... not to mention the $800,000 spent ON birth certs to combat the lawsuits re afore mentioned Kenyan birth. Oops, i wasn't going to mention that.

In truth, none of it matters. The world will still be the same place tomorrow as it was yesterday. The bullies of the world will change names, but they will still be bullies. The people who allow themselves to believe so hard in a future utopia, that they pretend the hell of today is justifiable, will therefore still surround themselves with faith, or as i prefer to call it cognitive dissonance, and wait, rather than do. And those of whom the bullies inadvertently (or so we're supposed to believe!!) aid/gain a benefit through the knock on effect, will sit back, voice their concern occasionally, but not so loudly that the bullies notice them, and then reap their ill gotten gains while still maintaining the illusion of credibility.

There is enough space on the world to house everyone. There is enough food in the world to feed everyone. There are enough bombs in the world to annihilate everyone. Which of these statements is the most likely to be the first to be executed. These are the modern times we live in. Doesn't it make you proud to be alive!?

Home Again!

Well... landed back in sunny Holland all fine and dandy after having spent the weekend in Brum/Wolves/Crewe. Flights there and back on BMI Baby were fine, and we were mildly amused to see "Ice Ice Baby" on the nose-cone of the plane taking us to Birmingham!

Time there was spent nosing at the local beer, having a chuckle with Mr Myers in the pub in Crewe, eating out in various Weatherspoons, and two visits to the Gifford in wolves, sat afto for a listen to Yeti's musical offerings and a Hobgoblin or two, and an evening with Sonya, culminating in an indian which caught both E and me off guard with its heat! The hotel, the Brittania in Wolves did eactly what it said on the tin. All travel on trains and planes etc went well too. IN actual fact the only let down really in the whole time was that we never bought what we went for (typical!!) and that a couple of people couldn't make plans to fit us in when this was the first time back on UK soil for me in nearing a year and a half! Spent a couple of hours at Ju's too this time. Not sure if the cats really remembered me though. lol. Picked up an old puzzle book which will doubtless drive me just as insane as it did the first time!

I think actually, I got what I wanted out of the trip. We were welcomed into the Gif by Womble of all people, with a hand shake and grin, then by an enthusiastic Yeti. The music was as it should be, the Hobgoblin good, and the feeling of "this is somewhere i can relax and enjoy", I think transferred over to Esther. There is a shared "thing" which goes on in there, something that says everyone is accepted. It's different to the whole Cheers effect, where you want to go where everybody knows your name, because, or at least this is how it appears to me, in the Gif, your name isn't important. Your being there for the right reasons IS. The evening was made better I think by the afternoons experience.

And Crewe? Well, it's still Crewe. We were not really about that much there. A meal in the place my arm was broken, and then off to the pub to Anthony. He seemed genuinely pleased to see us. Messing with the music suddenly Whole Lotta Rosie appeared.. with the Angus chant at the start... lol... hmm.. and then, and this shocked me, My Woman from Tokyo! That was thoughtful. Have a feeling it won brownie points with Esther too.. as she knows both songs are fav's of mine. He looked well. Mention of both funerals occurred and was kind of... avoidedish. Probably best. It was good to catch up. I suppose 30 years of history is not something I want to let go of.

Picked up a couple of things too. Spiderman Tee shirt! Hulk Tee Shirt! Dutch for Dummies! Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Centre Disaster (again) by David Icke, and another re-buy, Hollow Chocolate Bunnies by Robert Rankin! All good stuff! lol

And on that note, I'm away !

But.. not before I add the Spidey Tee Shirt pic!  hehehe

2009

Well, first New Year as a married man! We went out, had GlenFiddich at 12 midnight and spent the eve in a new rock pub called Brothers-of-Beer, which had opened that night, us being the first two people to buy a beer there! Locals were friendly, beer was ok, and the company was good. Friends appeared at 3am-ish.. and stayed for a beer, then we all buggered off! Been a while since I was out for a change in year.

Seems msn has messed this place about. Cant find how to reorder albums or the original storage info which used to give me icons of all the pics i've posted/saved on here, which is a tad annoying. The guitar playing is coming along I think, although i'm still loath to learn chords! I suppose I shall have to, but, i don't want to play chords.. lol! I can muster a reasonable Iron Man, Breaking the Law, and Stairway to Heaven.. as you do... along with Beethoven's 9th as a control piece! Tis a tidy little instrument, makes a nice noice. Also acquired series 2-3-extras of Cracker.. should kill a few hours.

Right.. am away to digest the rabbit I just ate...! Toodle Pip!
