I know that I have already touched on the subject, but "actuality" obliges! I recall as a kid spending many a torrid hour in things like Sunday Schools (as if Monday to Saturday wasn't enough) and 11am and Evening services in my Father's parish church, being drilled into beleiving everything and anything written in the Holy Bible! Everything that is, apart from the things that didn't fit in the plans of the Church! As I vaguely recall, there was this episode of the Book of Revelations (Chapter 6, I think), which wasn't talked about a great deal, since it involved the total annihilation of the Planet, the Church and its members along with it! I recall, vaguely , that it concerned the 4 bad lads on horseback, floods,famine,pestilence, death and disease, war and other nice things (I know, that makes at least 6, but the horses were quite big ones). I recall also, being told, often (when something had gone wrong in my planning) "You see - the Bible told you ...

(This article was the subject of a "translation" to English by my new Translating programme! You won't find the translation into English, because like all Translation programmes, machines don't think like us, and the translation offered was almost unusable. You won't find the programme-which fortunately was free- on my PC anymore either! At almost 1Go of disc space -927mb's)- I felt that Googles offer was much the same thing, with NO disc space used!). Ishall revert to my normal way of doing translations, namely using my head and my knowledge! B***er the machines!So - improve your French! ************************************************************************** A few thoughts on the French General Elections in April 2007. Bonjour! Comme vous le savez, il va avoir les polémiques et fureur des élections Générales, ici en France, très bientôt! Moi, je n'ai pas le droit de voter, mais cela m'intéresse comme même, car je sera touche par les éventuelles cha...

Remember that old idiom? "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"? How wrong that has proved itself! Nowadays, when asked, as often is, on application forms - "Profession" when you reply "Pensioner" you might as well insert "Busted-Poor-Poverty stricken" it all amounts to the same thing! Indeed, some authorities assume the word "Pensioner" to mean "A bum who scrounges upon Society"! It seems to me, frankly, just a little late to inform people of my age group, those older than myself, and even one generation or two, younger than myself, that they must start to put money aside for their future! Money aside from a Pension? Apart from Politicians themselves, who made all the empty promises of once-upon-a-time, or a member of the 10% of those who hold 90% of the world's riches, nobody is capable of "putting aside" anything! Of course, as I understand from recently released figures, the ag...

This blog is in essence a relatively strict non-political, non-racial, non-religious blog. This doesn't mean that I don't tackle issues of daily life, far from it, what it does mean is that all I try to do is to point out "discrepancies", "not quite correct" or downright wrong things in this so called "modern" life. I hope that not everybody is of the same opinion as myself, and that is what the "make a comment" possibility is there for, but I do hope that what I write may give grounds enough for other people to at least think about the given subject. I recall, some 40 or so years ago, a small voice in a wilderness, which addressed subjects "not desirable" in the society which I was obliged to live. It may also have been simply the arrogance of elders, who simply felt that a small voice of a very young person, was not to be taken seriously, and in fact had no idea what it said! 40 - or was it more, years ago, I (for it was, inde...
