While things seemed to have quietened down I’ve been out and about. After my two day training course (where the security bars stayed slid across the windows for the duration) it was back to normality, getting on with work and doing householdy-type stuff. What with me coming back from Manchester on the Monday and the [...]
It makes me wish I had stayed in Manchester. Although as of this moment it’s now spreading throughout the UK. Whilst up north I had seen the riots in Tottenham and thought it was a one-off. Come home yesterday afternoon and to my dismay riots have broken out all over London, including my home town [...]
this morning that Osama Bin Laden was killed by American Navy Seals in a covert operation. All I can say is Hallelujah! Throughout the morning they’ve spoken to families, both here in the UK and in the US, of those who perished in Bin Laden’s terror campaign of 9/11 and 7/7 and one word kept [...]
Did anybody read that story about the lady from the UK who went to Pennsylvania in the US for an injection to make her bum bigger? In her bid for fame and stardom 20 year old Claudia Aderotimi thought if her assets were more of a callypigian nature, then hip-hop fame would be within her [...]
It looks like I missed this by a hare’s whisker. It’s a worry in this day and age, isn’t it? Does anybody remember that nerve gas attack on passengers on the Tokyo subway? A good few years ago now, not sure exactly when.
If you’re going to see your favourite lady this weekend gents, or you’re just out and about, remember, what with the pope visiting London this weekend there’s going to be a bit of upheavel out on the roads. What with the tube works that are already going on this and every weekend, travelling around Central [...]
I try not to be too political or talk religion on my blog, two incendiary topics that always creates a stir and I don’t want to upset anybody. But I do have to express my delight and relief that the pastor from Florida has shelved all plans to burn the Koran on today’s anniversary. It [...]
At last in the World Cup England came good today and beat Slovenia 1-0 to progress into the last 16. I missed the bloomin’ goal by Jermaine Defoe in the 22nd minute because I thought kick-off was at 3.30, not 3pm. But I watched the rest of the match mostly with my breath held and [...]
to hear that ex-MP for Hackney Diane Abbot, one of the few women in the Parliament and the only Black woman MP I know of (there was Oona King from a good few years ago) has thrown her hat into the ring to ballot to become the new Labour leader after Gordon Brown stepped after [...]
And a coalition one at that. The first time in my lifetime. A monumentous time in political history indeed. One minute (around 6pm) certain parties were still having a chat, next thing I knew, David Cameron was zipping his way over to see the Queen to be formally instated. Didn’t the Brown family cut a [...]
