There are so many things on the internet that it's sometimes difficult to figure out what to concentrate on! This is one of them....gifs work, they don't on Facebook! Google Shared publicly   -   Yesterday 17:00   #Doodle4Google Just one month left for K-12 students to turn their daydreams into doodles for this year's Doodle 4 Google and have the chance to be a Doodler for a day. Grab a sketch pad and get started:  http://goo.gl/QsRbMU #doodle4google  It is to be found on ' Google+ ' or by clicking above - a sort of creative competition. On the subject of Google+ - it is difficult sometimes to understand the use, but it is worth investing some time in  learning, particularly because it has the great advantage over  ' Facebook ' in that the ' gif ' images work on Google+ but not on  FB!

The Prisoner in Cell Number……… ( for www.marquisdugalipot.blogspot.com ) I tapped, as usual, nervously in my crease block, and awaited the next delivery. When it came, it was such a loose ball, that I was pleased to dispatch it high and long to the boundary, forcing the Umpire to lift both hands, and signal yet another six runs. The surrounding fielders threw looks which would have killed, but I didn’t look, I was too busy getting somebody in Uniform from the spectators block, the higher ranked the better, to go and ask – “Can we have our balls back?” This was Spandau, West Berlin , cricket balls were rare things, and I had just hit the last of our supply over the boundary wall. Six runs – yes, but into the closely guarded confines of Spandau Prison , at the moment guarded by our Russian “allies”, to join the other 10 or 12 balls I had already put there! Simply climb over the 3 different barbed wire peri...

When I was younger, still had some hair, many years ago, people used to send me Valentine's, birthday greetings, bottles of wine!! ('scuse me, Beatles). They also used to take me to institutions called: "Fish and Chip shops". These places were all over, were of all imaginable shapes,sizes, snobbish, low-graded, luxurious, unusable and cockroach ridden, BUT they all had one thing in common, they were all temples of worship to that dish known simply as 'fish & chips', sold in a shop/restaurant/snack bar normally known as a 'chippie' (hence my mate in ( )'s interest). Now everybody, but everybody had their own favourite, and I recall even before setting off in a charabanc (yes, they called the motorised vehi...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scotland/scottish-politics/10634941/Three-main-political-parties-unite-to-deny-a-separate-Scotland-the-pound.html...... The three-party plan prompted claims from  Scotland’s Deputy First Minister  that the  British Government  was trying to “bully” Scotland into voting against independence in September’s referendum. Nicola Sturgeon  said: “This is a panic move which will backfire spectacularly. “People won’t take kindly to the  Westminster  establishment ganging up to try to bully Scotland in the decision that we are being asked to take on the referendum.” We Scots are a proud people....English politicians want an antler in their best part? So - according to the English politicians, if  Scotland  votes for  Independance , they will not be able to keep the pound sterling........2 points to be noted: a) They wouldn't need or want to, they would have the euro... b) Very  Democrati...
