  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC. That's 'Before Computers'. Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all... Archbishop Temple's School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock 'n' Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during 'The Cold War'...and then

    I became 'a family'. Which meant that I sort of missed the 'swinging sixties', but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the 'Thatcher Years' I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 50 years of happy marriage.

Cash crisis ! What cash crisis ?

Posted by Big John on December 14, 2006

The National Health Service will not spend money on drugs for Alzheimer’s sufferers and treatments for cancer patients, but is prepared to spend hundreds of millions on surgery for fat kids.

I’ve a better idea … Demolish every ‘McDonalds’, ‘Burger King’ and ’KFC’ and make it a criminal offence to walk about with a fistful of grease and melted cheese while ‘slurping’ a two pint shake through a straw ! … and while you’re at it lock up every stupid parent who thinks that their child is deprived if they don’t buy it a bloody ‘Happy Meal’ and a giant ‘mcflurry’ every other day !

OK, I understand that obesity may be a genuine health problem for a few youngsters, but mostly it is the result of parents being too lazy to prepare ‘healthy’ meals and being loath to get off their big fat arses and give themselves and their children some exercise, even though they all do seem to wear tracksuits and trainers (sneakers). 

Another ridiculous waste of NHS millions is to remove, for free, the tattoos from the fat arms (and probably the even fatter arses) of the same type of moron, who can be spotted every day of the week as they drag their waddling offspring along the ‘snack’ aisle of their local supermarket and load their trollies (carts) with ‘jumbo’ multi-packs of crisps (potato chips) and ‘industrial-size’ bottles of fizzy drinks.

Hardly a day goes by without some report appearing of how the NHS is pissing away our money, and today is no exception, for I have just read that more than £1.3 million has been spent making sure that the NHS logo is used correctly, and can you believe…

… that … HERE  … is where the money went ?
