Absolutely insignificant ramblings of no interest to anyone (including myself)

Back in the 90’s- I was taught at school about the ozone layer. (ohhhh. Back in my day ha...) Back in the day. Good Ol' Days etc...  Teachers did their best. Some of mine were so good that I learnt and wanted to learn. Some were just barely functioning. They used the available text books to state that it would be detrimental to earth if I were to use an aerosol can outdoors. Even back then, I found this odd. Why would any sane person waste their Lynx Africa?  The ozone layer was taught to me.  It was sold to me in lessons as a sheath around earth to protect life from the sun. I was taught that the sun provides life. I was taught that the sun is dangerous and so the ozone layer protects us.  Then, I was taught that there were holes in the ozone layer. Holes!  These areas were increasing due to the environment being corrupted by humans. These holes could not be darned or stitched.   I remember freaking the fuck out about this and questioning why aerosols...

Leaving The EU – India    This may be a boring one from me. Boring in it that it is so plainly obvious. Now that the UK has the fantastic opportunity to trade away from European Union, it can get the BEST, WORLD-BEATING deals! Britain WANTS India! Let’s take a peek…   #1 India     This is a spectacular country that has a population of over 1.3 billion people!  Tories, imagine the tax you could rob from them! You could astutely fuck them over ROYALLY. In time for the Jubilee!  India was the  British Raj .  Basically, India was  ruled  by Britain until 1947. A Naval Mutiny caused the oppressing, invading British to say ‘ oops, sorry, we will go now and you get to have your India back .’ Soz for the whole global twattery.   The Indian subcontinent was part of the British Empire from 1852 until 1947!  This date-range spans a mere 2 world wars! I do hope that the folks of India (and other countries) were not somehow g...

Before beginning in earnest, I must admit that I am guilty of lambasting others and blaming them for events that I, myself, have also undertaken.  I admit that I can pass judgement on others whilst completely negating to remember,  in the moment,  that I too am guilty of the unfolding offence that has suddenly triggered my judgemental brain. Hypocritical and pious of me. Who should I blame for this?   Personal examples of me feeling aggrieved by the actions of others…   -Traffic! How I hate traffic (despite myself being a part of the traffic myself).   -Having to wait in a queue is an irritant. Even worse when the queue has formed before I merged myself into it. All of these people causing me to have to wait in line!   -Litter! Guilty. I do not make a habit of dropping litter. Actually, I am vehemently opposed to the dropping of litter. Have I done it though in my lifetime? Yes. Sorry.   -People that break speed limits whilst driving a vehicle. So...

This is a family that exists in the UK. They have no political power (unlike an Absolute Monarch that has absolute autonomy over the laws and decrees).  In fact, the British Royal Family have had no actual ‘power’ to make laws/rule since 1649.   Let that sink in. 1649!  A mere 373 years of this family bloodline being of absolutely no significance to the Governance of the UK.    So what is the actual purpose of having a Monarchy in the UK?    I like it when people answer this by stating that TOURISM is MASSIVE due to the Monarchy. OK, so how many tourists have actually visited the UK and met one of the Monarchs? I shall make the guess of ‘none’ apart from a few that may have met a fiddly-prince in an imaginary encounter in a Pizza Express (imaginary as it exists only in his befuddled mind).🍕 So, the draw then is the traditions and the history of the Monarchy, dating back to when the Monarch’s ruled! (characters like King Henry VIII, and all that h...

The European Union & The Benefits of the UK leaving  Too quick are  people to scoff at the Brexiteer.   Some mock them by calling them a Gammon . Feel pity for them saying that they were duped. NO MORE OF THIS!  HERE ARE AT LEAST 10 BENEFITS OF BREXIT. #TeamGammon    1.      Leaving the EU has made it possible to say, if you are daft, that ‘we won.’ 2.      Not only can you say ‘we won,’ but you can say ‘we got Brexit done.’ Both are catchy and make the orator sound extremely justified and  knowledgable of Global Markets, trade and political shtick. Short and snappy is the modus operandi. We can 'take back control' and be 'Britain for British.' Such semantics with short syntax is fabulous for a demanding audience (of KS1 children excited by rhyming words and often monosyllabic vocabulary). Here is Gammon that is incited by such patter.  3.      Now you can say ‘we have...

This article is accurate as of 11 th  May 2022   30p   Ashfield MP, Lee Anderson, is a Conservative MP. A proud Tory. Lee Anderson has asserted that 30p is enough money to survive, per day, in the UK.  This Tory feels strongly that ordinary, tax paying Britons are simply unable to budget their money. This MP also feels that it is because the British population cannot cook that they are financially poor. Again, this Tory MP insists that 30p a day is enough for a human to buy food in Britain.  OK. Let’s do some homework. I will use the website of XE for this.   30p is:   28.5 Indian Rupees 0.52 Australian Dollars 1,319 Ugandan Shillings 374.9 Rwandan Francs  0.000198390431322 Gold Ounces  0.001896647515022 Bitcoin Cash 923 Syrian Pounds   30p is actually quite a lot then!  Especially if you consider that Lee Anderson claimed a mere £220,000 in his expenses (on top of his wages) in just one year.   £220,000 divided by 365 days in...

Rightio, I am baffled !  Utterly at a loss as to what is actually normalised and accepted, right now, in 2022. Modern times. The present. The here and now.  This exact moment in time.  Sadly still true when you read this and this was written before now (the now in which you find yourself reading this). Modern! Enlightened! Dare I say Woke? I just did! Woke. Some folks do not like Woke. Some folks also despise others based on their inherent, racist views. They are not Woke.  I do not think that I am Woke though and I am not a Nazi. I feel that I have always been tolerant, inclusive and inviting to everyone without the need for a label for it. That said, this here is not supposed to be about what Woke is!Sorry! So, here we are in 2022 (Friday 13th as it goes) and in this very moment we are all now fully up to speed with this being NOW!  This is why I find myself confused.  It is not just the many injustices right now, but the complete farcical natu...
