Try not to let this neurological condition win - YouTube channel

Image
This video tupid is about living your life sticking to your dreams rather than giving in to this terrible neurological condition.  

Yes, I did just do a near duplicate post

 ðŸ˜•😕😕😕😕😕😕😕❓❓❓❓❓ I wanted to expand on my previous post about pensioners and the government decision made recently.

Energy Scandal & Pension Credit Propoganda

Image
  Reading or hearing the news would have us believe that 10 million pensioners will lost their winter fuel allowance this year. This is then followed by images of a poor old soul sitting in their armchair wearing their outdoor clothes, hats, gloves and scarf sipping a hot drink. Let us get something clear, the majority of those 10 million (alleged) pensioners will not struggle this winter, many won't even notice the lack of the allowance, they leave such things to their accountants.  Think on this ... All of these people are pensioners, part of the 10m mentioned and they are not alone. Indeed, many of those 10m are reasonably well off. Not all, there will be still a large amount losing out but, many don't need the winter fuel payment.  What other sort of people can we imagine who will lost it? Lot's is the answer ... let's look at who qualified last year: State Pension age Those who have reached State Pension age by the end of the qualifying week, which in 2022/23 was t...

LGB .... QT+?

  It does seem like some sort of physics thing but, what the hell happened to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Movement that made them think it would be an excellent idea to add everyone with gender issues? Look, there is Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual, nothing after that relates to sexuality. I am trying to find other group of advocates which randomly connects such radically different minority groups together? You may want to suggest something. There seems to be varied groups but generally quite specific so the broadest being, BEM (Black, Ethnic, Minority) but, that seems to be more of a target audience, a cover all to include various way more specific groups generally dividing up differing ethnicities.  What so many try to do is slip into 'Mental Health' as the background issue. Let me tell you, anyone and everyone can suffer mental health issues, they don't need to be part of any minority group.  So, I got this one charity the Race Equality Foundation  only the groups they...

Poor Pensioners ... and comparisons

Image
 Following on from my previous posts this argument came up, I kid you not! 'If the government are so keen to make more money, they shouldn't take it the pensioners but, instead, legalise cannabis and get the tax revenue from that'. This is how crazy these distraction techniques are. On @LBC Matthew Wright, the presenter seemed not to object and allowed to flow the absolute fake news that the government is taking money from pensioners. This is that time when we need to get real and work out what they are doing. What do pensioners on Pension Credit actually get? Pension Credit tops up your weekly income to £218.15  (£945.32 Monthly) if you are single or if you have a partner it rises to £332.95 (£1442.78 Monthly) all those getting Pension Credit still get the fuel allowance. Who does it affect?: Pensioners who claim no other benefits which qualify, the qualifying benefits are: - Income Support; - Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance; - Income-related Employment and Support ...

Yeah but, what about ...

Image
For every argument there has to be a couner argument in the UK. One of the most crazy is the one about keeping cannabis illegal. As soon as the question is asked some, too many, will say: "Yeah, but what about alcohol" The argument has merit but, it's a distraction technique only. Around Northampton and many other parts of the country we have electric scooters to rent sold as this: The reality is actually way more like: But the argument goes, we cannot ban them because, what about bikes or even horses, they cause mess and accidents too. The same sort of argument to the smoking debate, why should we ban smoking anywhere, drinking alcohol is far worse and drunk drivers kills people, smokers don't. Can you see how these arguments are just used to distract? The reality is, if an issue arises we need to address that issue in isolation as there will always be something worse it can be compared to but, right now, let's focus on the issue at hand. Maybe the other issues c...

Resting in the garden but ...

Image
 I thought I'd come chill in the garden. However, my shed is depressing. It's so damaged and I've neither the time or money to replace the outer skin. I'm also getting weeds growing on my gravel garden and it is difficult to keep on top of it.  To finish off my fun the local authority has decided today is the day for the heavy machinery. It's so bloody noisy and ME/CFS and noise don't mix so I need to go indoors

Subscribe this way if you wish to

 Still likely the best way to subscribe is by creating a blogspot account and following me on there, it's dead simple and you don't need to create a blog to do it. (But you can if you want) Go to this site to subscribe OK, this is an option which isn't too complicated. What you will get is a live email stating there is a new entry to the blog. In that email will likely be some pointless ads. Apart from those ads, I cannot see an issue with the service, This is what the email looked like when it came in One line confirmed the site subsciption, then an ad for dental care followed by the blog entry link and then another ad for Volvo below.  There is nothing signed up to and it's easy to unsubscribe

Another hot day in England

Image
Wow, it is so hot today. Every year I tell myself I must get an air conditioning unit even if it is just in one room but, of course, I never do. Trouble is, we have really weird windows that the AC unit exhaust pipe wouldn't really fit unless we opened them which, with two indoor cats, we cannot do. We cannot get a wall unit fitted as the house is rented and, well, it's just too complicated to consider. Besides, this is England and, let's face it, we are talking about a lot of work for just a few weeks a year when we would use it.  BTW, unless I take them myself I use AI images to avoid copyright issues

Changing to Blogspot

  I loved creating my wordpress site but, every now and then it'd go wrong and I would need to fix it which was just annoying. So, here I am back over on Google's offering I've recreated much of the old site so, it won't look so terrible different

Your Summer Vacation

Image
I want you to imagine for one moment that you and your family are on holiday in Israel. It’s OK, the brochure and even the UK foreign office says that sure, there are issues with the Palestinians, you know, the terrorists but, that’s nowhere near you, absolutely miles away, you won’t see or hear any of it when you are there. You will be in a biblical paradise, the vacation of a lifetime. You are on the third floor, not only overlooking the pool with kids slides but, also you overlook the red sea, it’s all inclusive, you don’t even have to leave the hotel It’s day 4 and you’ve just had your meal in the evening when you hear shouting outside, the shouting is followed by a woman screaming. You hear someone shout, death to the west with an Arabic accident. You can see flames and hear the explosion of a car on fire, what do you do? You have the sea on one side, the Arabs are on the road the other side, you are stuck in the hotel, there are just two s...
