  • 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 47 years of happy marriage.

“Talk of the Devil …”

Posted by Big John on December 31, 2007

It won’t be long before they are chucking old ladies in duck ponds to see if they float and collecting firewood for the stake on the village green, if recent press reports coming out of the Vatican are anything to go by; for it seems that … “we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on” … by ordering his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism.

Bloody HELL ! … Oops ! Sorry…  I don’t want to invoke any demons, or the potty Pontiff might send round his holy hit squad: for don’t forget that his previous job was as head of ‘The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’, which used to be better known as ‘The Office of the Holy Inquisition’.

The Devil ! … Demons ! … Satan ! … Blimey ! … Is this really the 21st Century ? 

Tony Blair recently became a member of the Roman Catholic Church after previously saying that if he discussed his religious beliefs people would think that he … was a nutter“.

…    Now we know why !
