Moving on

Well the old fart has moved and what chaos this week has been. Surrounded by removal men and a whole army of people trying to fix things for us. But hey, we are here and it will be brilliant when we have found all those things hiding in boxes strewn around the new house.
My thanks [...]

Yob rule

So you are in bed having a sleep when a bunch of yobs - who have been causing mayhem in the neighbourhood for weeks (a nice area by the way, not a run down part of town) - attack your son who has been remonstrating with them for kicking in the panels of your works van. These [...]

Time for a change

So it seems I am not on my own in advocating the right to die. Apparently nearly three quarters of those polled by The Times believe that doctors should be able to assist the terminally ill to end their lives if that is what they wish. A new House of Lords ruling is awaited on [...]

Vegetable plotting

So now Sarah Brown is trying to compete with Michelle Obama on veg patches. Talk about pathetic PR rubbish. Obama will no doubt have an army of people at enormous cost to the American taxpayer to harvest what is grown which will then promptly get lost in the White House kitchens while Brown is only [...]

The call from Gordie

Thank you to all my loyal fans for the best wishes on my birthday. I was also so pleased to be asked by Gordie (see comments on 65 today)to take a pivotal part in his plans for world class blogs. It is so comforting to have a Prime Minister so in touch with his people and understanding [...]

65 today!

Actually we have decided to help the Government in its initiative to keep people in work for as long as possible - but that does not mean we do not want the pension, thank [...]

Out of Africa

Perhaps I am being too hard on Africa. Obama gave them the right message - stop blaming everyone else and take control of your own destiny - but will they do it? What I was saying in my last blog is that history shows that since the white man handed over power - for most [...]

Magic pixie dust

Well wee wild west has been in touch (see comment on ‘Don’t you just love them’ ) and talked of Obama  going round the world and ‘flashing magic pixie dust’. That is just what he has done in Ghana saying that Africa can do it for itself. Well I think Mr President the record shows [...]

Don’t you just love them

I have rarely heard Mrs Old Fart so incandescent with rage as she was this afternoon trying to talk to BT - even exceeded her rages with me when I have transgressed. So it must have been serious.
Actually she was trying to change our lines because we are moving which ended up with us being cut [...]

Farewell to Whacko Jacko

What a farce to herald the departure of Whacko Jacko. Yet another opportunity to roll out the cliches and to wail and moan in public. The whole media circus is rolling on this one along with a disfunctional family and those just trying to find out what he did with the loot and whether they [...]
