It is difficult, I must admit. I want to get back to work, seriously (or otherwise) on my blog, but somehow getting rid of the holiday feeling is more difficult this year. Maybe it's because of the fact that I never really expected to see the holiday period again, or it may simply be that between Dogs, Cats, VERY sick ladies, still present tourists, difficult times for so called Family members (albeit once removed - divorce is in the air!!) all these things reunite to hinder the publication of those so magnificent work of literary genious you are all used to! I've sharpened my pencils often, but every time I hit a key on the keyboard with my pencil, the bloody thing breaks! Maybe I'll just try without the pencil, and the rubber (to correct my rare errors) doesn't work either! The other day I tried to file various things from the screen, but my little "hole maker" (you know, to enable you to put things in a file) couldn't pierce the screen, so I gave up ...

As you can see from the article which follows, I've become a rich, rich man! Don't worry, I won't forget my mates - all one of them! He can have a pet pig, a pet mistress (if "her indoors" permits this) he can even have a pet fox! All he has to do is promise not to sell anymore caravans, and not to upset other friends by refusing to play golf with them, due to shopping engagements! He won't ever have to wear those things "off the peg" (neither will "her indoors") Don't say that the power of my mighty 12,000,000 , promised by my newly found friend in Adjy Dhabi are not worth the paper they are printed on - Let me have my little dreams! Now I'm off to bed, and will pass a torrid night eating and drinking too much and flying in my private jet from places like Portsmouth and Amersfoort to other climes!

This morning, sales of Sunday newspapers exploded in a certain region of England! Certain pages were cut out carefully, and framed with care and attention, parties were held and amid great celebrations, the framed newssheets were hung on the family walls for eternity. An event of this magnitude will probably never happen again in this lifetime, and many years from now, when the paper on the wall has turned yellow or brownish with age, people will say proudly, and with hand on heart - "I was there". Portsmouth are TOP of the Premier Division, the absolute best in England, at least until this very afternoon. Nothing of this nature has happened since HMS Victory was chugged into the port, and started earning lots of money immediately!"Kiss me Hardy" was changed to "Kiss me Hard and long" and local people started investigating - trying to find out exactly what part of their body was meant by "Hardy" - just to avoid any possible confusion with the...

This comes from Ian, in the South of France. As many people who know me will confirm, I am far from being an admirer of the USA with it's various doom messages for the world (war-machinations-anti pollution refusals and McDonalds etc) but in light of the current events in the UK, and bearing in mind that the UK is almost the ..nd American State, would it not be reasonable to change the rules in UK, anchored in any constitution, and adopt the same rules as the USA (and other countries) regarding the length of time any one individual may govern, as Prime Minister, the country. We all know that after a certain period, the dragon looses it's teeth, and complacency sets in. Corruption and grace and favour things become normal, and indeed the responsible people feel above the laws. If the system allowed a period of two legislative periods, then the voter would be aware that the current Prime Minister, if re-elected, would serve his time, and would then be released from his bondage - ...

Just what is going on over there in the old Empire land? HP Sauce moving to Holland, Baked Beans going too. Airfix kits bankrupt, the Queen being acted out (better than the original, I understand) by an aging actress, a PM who can't decide where, when and why to disappear. All in all, since Mr le Marquis' departure, it's been all downhill. Most Empire citizens nowadays have a skin colour rather less than the traditional white, due to overdrawn Credit Card accounts (apparantly everybody is hopelessly in debt) which enable them to voyage to other climes! Divorce is rife, everybody being pleased that the last figures didn't show an increase, staying at around 176,000 new divorces! "Coming-outs" are on the daily order, gone is the mystery about the personal love direction of famous people. Wasn't it great fun to spread rumours about this, that and the other? Scots, Irish and Welsh have realised that the Great Capital is no longer capable of representin...

I had just finished my hard day at the PC, when I heard the familiar noise of horses hoofs outside! I don't think I've ever published an article about many local customs, but these photos will give you all a little insight to some local customs. These ones depict the old and the new, but the result stays the same for the bridegroom - it's the end of the road! Above is how the groom's mates arrived, and below how he arrived! Just to rub salt in the wound!

Great ain't it? Just stopped changing nappies every few hours, and already publishing his FIRST autobiography! Same style - bring one record out, and follow it up with "Best Hits Collection". People who can't sing, can't read nor write - it is amazing what fame can achieve! The brains of a peanut, suddenly capable of reading and writing, to such point that he can land up in the courts - sued for slander or whatever! Only problem? He won't turn up, because he can't read the summons! Imagine signing your professional contract (wages somewhere around 20,000 a week) with a large "X"! Wouldn't mind so much if the lad could at least speak understandable English, but even the famous sportsman's words: "Well, like wot I just said"- are not understandable! Best thing to do? Kick a ball - or two! Maybe using some of the money "earned" could be put to a good USE, like a visit to the
