Last week a dear old freind of mine died although 30 years older than me Ivy was one o those people who spanned the generations and `made freinds with all irrespective of age She was also one of those people that make your life better for having known her a breath of fresh air who lightsup the room as soon as she walks in,I will miss that wicked sense of humour and the comments that put fools in their place but most of all I will miss the love that she exuded.
Farewell Ivy my love heaven is a better place now that you are there

It was a fun life on Friday having been away on business for a whole week I was so looking forward to0 getting home,well the guy planning to commit suicide on the Avonmouth Bridge had other plans as a result of which the M5 was shut for 5 hours with me on it and what should have been a 2 and a half hout journey home turned into 8 and a half hours.
I was spitting feathers into Saturday morning when I found that the guy had actually jumped and was dead,whatever he was going through to do that rather put my problems into perspective

Yet another hilarious commenary by the Daily Mash
"MEN have won the right to watch two women have a sweaty fight as long as one of them gets to listen to her national anthem at the end.

Just so's you know, they will not look like this
The International Olympic Committee agreed that women punching each other was 'more Olympic' than karate because the competitors would be wearing tight-fitting vests rather than baggy pyjamas.
Girl fights had previously been banned from the event amid claims that while two slim, toned, sweaty women going at each other was obviously worth watching, it was not necessarily a sport.
Advice is now being sought from rhythmic gymnastics experts on how to judge the all-women bouts while hiding a straining erection. A London 2012 spokesman said: "I think the main thing will be to make sure we can see the judges' hands at all times."
The IOC also said girl fights would help make the Olympics more relevant to the East End of London.
Training is already under way in the boroughs of Greenwich and Stratford, with the best medal prospects being told their opponents gave their boyfriends a hand-shandy behind the Odeon.
Meanwhile community activists stressed that if East End women were beating each other up, it would give local men more time to embellish their West Ham tattoos and hand out BNP leaflets.
Girl fight campaigner, Holly Turnbull, said "It's been a long and difficult battle, not least to stop the IOC using the words 'foxy' and 'Angel Delight' at every meeting.
"It's taken took two years for them to agree that we wouldn't have to wear six-inch stilletos and skimpy, leather hotpants."
She added: "Part of our strategy was to show them Million Dollar Baby, although obviously we switched it off before she gets crippled and Clint Eastwood kills her.
"What? You haven't? Oh, sorry about that."

And I feel like throwing up in disgust,this is one of the architects of the war who put forwrad the "Dodgy Dossier " and backed the lies about WMD that distracted our forces from the war againsy Al Quaida and into the joke that is Iraq.As a rwesult we are now stuck in Afghanistan with no hope of getting out ans still Brown talks about the fact that the Taliban are a threat to Britain,well only because of your foreign policies pal and as a result brave british soldiers are dying for no reason at all.
The real sadness is how we have failed to learn the lessons of historu,the British Empire failed in Afghanistan in the 19th century,the Soviet Empire failed in the 1980's and we will fail now because these people just dont know when they are beated

I know I am getting old and dont really understand much of modern youth but the idea of taking an intimate photo of yourself on a mobile and sending it to your partner seems totally wierd,not however as totally barmy as this quote from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre
"We can completely understand why young people want to post these images to each other"
Well you might be able to understand it pall but I'm buggered if I can and why are you not totally condemming minors for doing this,to PC are we

In all Church Of England churches this morning a letter was read out from the bishops of Canterbury and York basically bowing to the hysteria surrounding Swine Flue and stating that until further notice we could only take the bread and not the wine during Holy Communion.Now whilst I understand that some people may be concerned over the transmission of disease through the communal use of the calice surely an announcement that those who shared those concerns could just take the bread would be a common sense reaction.But no in these litigious days a blanket ban has been imposed denying those of us who do not share such concerns the right to take communion as we have for years,the real irritation in this is that the Priest still takes the bread and wine almost rubbing it in that the lay members of the church are lesser Christians who cannot be trusted to make a decision of their own.
I wonder if other churches have been as ludicrously paranoid

In the last week we have lost 2 of the last 3 British veterans of the First World war,last week Henry Allingham and today Harry Patch,I feel humbled that I was able to see these men interviewed on TV over the last few years and listen to their accounts of the unspeakable horrors of WW1.
Both these verable old men told us that they were merely representing the millions that died in that great conflict and they did that with dignity and honour,every Armistice day we say "We Will Remember Them" Now that these 2 wonderful old men have gone we must ensure that we really remember what they have told us of the real horrors of wars because only Claude Choules remains of that generation as a living reminder of why to quote Churchill "We must learn the lessons of history"

I guess I am not alone in getting bored rigid by all the government and press hype about swine flue,yesterday morning at church we had a message from the Bishop that was real rocket science
"Dont come to church if you dont feel well"
So after all this garbage how nice to see that once again the Daily Mash has it spot on
"CONCERN was growing last night that the British public is not freaking out quite as much as it was supposed to.
Thank goodness the people full of raging hormones are acting rationally
In the last week the government, the media and a range of experts have all thrown more resources at their swine flu panic inducement strategies, including a series of contradictory announcements, random, blood-curdling death tolls and a warning that Britain's fleet of ice cream vans will be needed to store all the dead bodies.
But despite their all-out efforts, millions of people across the country have decided to simply wash their hands twice a day and accept that if they do get swine flu the chances of them dying from it are so small as to be really quite tedious.
Nevertheless the department of health will today urge people to empty their freezers, stressing that is where they will have to store their grandmother until the army can collect her and throw her into a landfill.
Meanwhile the Daily Mail once again outlined its plans to go into administration after warning its readers that every single one of them would be dead by the end of August.
An editorial in today's edition said: "The department of health is saying one thing and the National Childbirth Trust is saying a different thing. How can that not make you want to rip your ears off in abject terror?"
But Nikki Hollis, a pregnant lady from Stevenage, said: "From what I understand the National Childbirth Trust would like me to continue being pregnant until the pandemic is over, but, as I told a reporter from the Daily Mail, my due date is September 14th.
"And while I am aware of the heightened risks and the possibility of feeling yucky for a couple of days, I am slightly more focused on being about eight weeks away from pushing a human through my vagina."
She added: "That said, I will continue to avoid crowded places and wash my hands regularly because I have actually worked out that swine flu is an airborne viral infection and not some sort of ninja."

There has just been an article on the BBC news about parents rights to withdraw their kids from Sex education classes in school,now my kids have long left school so its not a worry for me but a thought did cross my mind.
Back in my days at school when sex education involved a talk on rabbits my Mr Hampton my biology teacher teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease rates were a fraction of what they are today,so the question is if we stop droning on to our kids about sex day after day might they just realise there are other things in life
