   Ran into the link for wot's below over at Going Postal and just had to put the link up here. This old fellow found it a tad Fiddly to play with sound but I got there and I’m sure y’all will do it a whole hell of a lot faster that wot I did.   As for wot y’all will find, well, it’s damn cleaver and I was torn between giggling and growling but please, please be advised this

   Yup I’m here just not so much in tap-top tapping mode any more.   You see the ‘news’ that Ed Minibrain, in his new job, is giving 88 mill away to a land far, far away to help folks improve their conditions{?} and get ‘em water? Meanwhile, right here, just up the road from wot where Eddy lives, many, many thousands of folks have recently been without water for very many daze

   I see from a brief glance at the ‘news’ on our televisual receiving device that the assisted death bill is up there again.   May I humbly suggest that if this divisive billy is turned down and you really, really want to exit this mixed up, muddled up world wot you’re in, for reasons, there’s a simple way round a ‘no’ vote.   Firstly, do a little research and

   Well, so, I see our puppet prime person has handed the blue prints for the making of long range missiles to those Ukranky nutters. I’m guessing, as I’m sure y’all are, that they’ve already been onwards sold on to the highest bidders, right?      Anyhoo, It’s also reported that Vlad the lad is a tad annoyed at this and has threatened to retaliate and this has shown

   I see our prime puppet and his string stretchers are still planing to build millions of new houses in the next phew years. Not sure how with a lack of required stuff like cement, bricks and blokes to glue the phew we have together. Let’s look at the demographic of the new arrivals of our newest bestest ever friends wot need housing.    Okay, had a look? Got it? So for

   And that would be an Email received today from my gas and lekky provider informing me my monthly payments will be going up by twenty quid each from September. How exciting is that then.   Praise be to our new Prime Puppet for cutting Value Added Tax at least from lekky. This huge cut could enable us, come winter, to have the lekky blanket on for all of half an hour a week.

   This old one popped into my swede while watching the ‘news’ and seeing those rubber rafts are getting ever bigger    With the rising tide of people running away from Africa and seeking a home in Europe, and by definition, the UK, and many folk expressing concern that this is basically leading to population displacement/replacement, I have a cunning plan.

   Delighted to inform our new Prime Puppet - wot’s is name, Ample Eyebrows is it? - that I’ve happily paid the second instalment of my tax thus enabling him to hand it out to those wot really, really need help to afford a new smart{?} phone, really need a new tat or stud piercing about their face.   In other ‘news’ I note our Sandy Bagboy is going to end homelessness and

   Still here but I’ve noticed that as I look at the state of this land and the World in general, that the door at the end of the road of life marked ‘Exit’ is now marked ‘Welcome’.   Anyhoo,as we’ve had a spell of warm weather it seems we’re running low on water. Could this be the result of many, many millions of our recently welcomed bestest ever friends now abiding on this

  ...for the prolonged absence but as time flies by ever faster,  tapping away on the tap-top gets ever less interesting. Health wise, I'm still around and living quite comfortably with all I've been blessed with. So I lived a healthy life just to get kicked in the ass in later life. eh?  Anyhoo, just dropped in the leave this here wot I ran into which, as I hurtle down the

   Firstly, I’m sure y’all are aware of the latest{?} scam, right? And that would be that all those phoney phone calls we get pose another problem. Pick the phone up and anything you say may be recorded then the bad folk use the sample to use that AI thingy to record fake messages for naughty purposes using you voice. So, use an answering phone but don’t use your own voice to record a

   Well, so, contrary to all the, like, ‘news’ recently, we didn’t boil to death during the early summer warm spell.I believe the media have been missing a trick regards ‘reporting’ the weather. I’m sure y’all of an age will have noticed that when ‘reporting’ rain storms it’s always stated to expect up to 40, mumble, of rainfall with the mumble being millimetres wot’s so much more of a

   Well, so, that’s April fool month over with but, sadly, I note the fools are still ruling over us.   Anyhoo, the other day while idling round some music on the Inter-Web, I ran into wot’s below; please don’t do the clicky thingy if you’re of a woke disposition and if you’re in young or polite company bung your earphones on okay? Not sure if it’s comedy or a documentary;

Also, all around us is way beyond parody is it not?   Anyhoo storm David did some damage in some regions but here, where wot we be, it was just a gusty wind through the night.   Regards storms and wot may be beauties, just wait ‘till storm Miliband bursts into all our homes via gas and lekky bills.

    Well, so, it’s been a while but small tasks around the house have occupied my time and mind.  You’ll be familiar with those little tasks that, when younger, you’d fix on the spot right? However with ever increasing age firstly you think, ‘I can live with that’ then realise how many livable with minor problems there are so decide to get ‘em fixed. Thus another age ‘problem’

   I see that Steer Calmer’s having a spot o’ bother with his over-loaded mantelpiece. Nothing for us down here to concern ourselves with so just move quickly on to something wot does concern an ever diminishing number of us down here. And that would be? The cost of the licence to allow us to use the televisual receiving device is going up again. Well, so, I now understand a little

   It’s been a busy time wot with one thing an’ another. Anyhoo, here’s a possibly unnecessary ‘warning’ to y’all.   Recently, I’ve been receiving an Email from LinkedIn with the same subject line, every two or three daze. No idea. Just delete. Then, out of the blue, I got an Email from an almost forgotten buddy I worked with a very long, long time ago asking for help stating

 ...but the urge to sit and tap stuff on the tap-top seems to be rapidly diminishing. As for the old saying early to bed early to rise makes a a man happy, wealthy and wise, well, hard to be happy with the state of things is it not? Wealthy as it’s tax paying month? As for the wise bit, wot does that even mean?   Anyhoo, also recently had a couple of brushes with naughty stuff.
