Yes. As a fairly obvious contrarian i don't like this world. As someone said in one of the papers to day - I think in the context of Liverpool winning the 1st division/premiership for the first time in 30 years - if only all of us could wind back 30 years and work out what we did wrong.
The world is always in a state of flux. I just don’t like the closure of free speech right now.
I don't like the closure of free speech that has gone on for several years now. I don't like the 'new racism'. I don't like the way the MSM no longer separates news and opinion. I don't like the way people simply don't seem to value what we have (or had pre-coronavirus) for all its imperfections was a damn sight better than most civilisations have ever had. I mean would anyone really prefer Jacobin France or Roman Britain?
I've actually been thinking about this quite a lot lately, and the nearest film character I can identify with is Hol Barrett in Pale rider. You can push me about a lot but there is a breaking point, which I've only hit a couple of times in my life.
Well. Like I say, we’re far too big, far too old and far too ugly to let this break us.
I've sort of healed a bit in the last few days and concluded that under no circumstances am I going to go down quietly. Take me down or leave me alone. I'm not actually responsible for the rest of the human race if it chooses to unplug its brains.
Yep. The media finds so many ways to cry out for a little bit of our attention. You have to prioritise, I think, on what’s personally important and above all, achievable. Seems like you’re getting back on the road.
As James Whale said in his autobiography, we only have free speech as long as you say what the majority after thinking. Dare to have a different opinion and you'll be ridiculed and denigrated. I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of what JW said.
Blame Tom Cruise and the Scientologists trying to control Katie for her no-show in The Dark Knight.
That's what happens when you forget to put the yeast in..
You can always spot the people in Poundland who only went in for one thing: they're always standing in the queue with a massive pile of STUFF precariously balanced on their crossed arms.
It's also the name of a very horrible film.
Wifey has discovered if she adds a portion of sourdough starter to a 50/50 loaf in the Panasonic bread maker, the final result is bigger, tastier, and bouncier.That's what happens when you forget to put the yeast in..
I did that during the lockdown. Had to stop direct debits etc when furloughed, thought I would take the opportunity to dump £80 worth of coppers in the NatWest change machine on a Saturday. Walked through a very eerie and empty Chelmsford to find the friggin bank was closed. Had to do it all again the following Tuesday.
I bought a new car. I was mostly taken by the fact you could customise the display. So I now have this as the hub of my driving experience...
