  • 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 60 years of happy marriage.

Panicky Putin ? .. I doubt it !

Posted by Big John on January 28, 2022

Hands up if you know what ‘NATO’ stands for and can point to Ukraine on a map of the world ? … If you can, you are probably more knowledgeable than most of those who sit on those green benches in the House of Commons and obviously think that it is a good idea for the UK to get involved militarily in a conflict between the “Russian Bear” and the “Kiev Chicken” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one),

OK .. So it’s no laughing matter (remember our Tony, George Bush and those “Weapons of Mass Destruction” ?); but I can’t honestly believe that Vladimir Putin is going to be deterred from whatever he is planning by the meagre amount of missiles recently delivered to the Ukrainian forces by the British military: and as for “look at me! .. look at me Lizzy!” ? A.K.A.. our Foreign Secretary .. Well ..

… Need I say more ?
