first day of my incarceration

Today saw myself enjoying a full day on sunny Crete. After a late rise at half past eight, having made a cup of tea, I availed myself of one of the many sun loungers by the pool. After a short time I had built up my empire to comprise a table, ash tray, cigarettes, tea, and my trusty kindle.

Absolute bliss. This is the way holidays should be. No pressure and no urgent commitments. In fact as little planning as possible.

At about twelve noon it was decided that a trip into the village was required for lunch, and more importantly, beer. This objective was achieved without any fuss and eventually we staggered back to the villa. A happy satisfied band.

We've since been out for a meal and are finally rounding out the day with some large whiskys at the villa's  poolside bar.

I’m off.

On holiday that is, from this Friday.

Although I doubt that any reader of this blog will miss me due to the lack of decent material over the last few months. Every blogger has that moment when looking at his keyboard, he just sighs and stares into space.

Anyway, I’m off to the sunny island of Crete where I will spend two weeks of reading, eating, drinking, and generally relaxing.I’ll have plenty of room to relax in as well.

As there were only going to be four of us this year we applied for a luxury villa that would accommodate six. However we were offered a villa that sleeps twelve persons for the same price. How could you turn that down? We’ve stayed in that villa before and it really is superb.

So think of me having to endure fourteen days of hot weather, cheap booze and fags, and the ability to do what I want to do, when I want to do it.

I might even write the occasional blog post rubbing it in.

Can this be true?

After protests from environmentalists, Gloucestershire Police are to stop using CS gas sprays on violent suspects and will carry a deodorant-style roll-on version instead. A leaked memo sent to area commanders gives details of how suspects must be told to get their hands up so trained officers can move in rapidly to apply the roll-on to one or both exposed armpits. Within seconds, the roll-on causes nausea, vomiting and streaming eyes while its sandalwood-and-musk scent creates a disabling degree of social embarrassment that can last several hours…………….

Quite true.

The EU. How we were sold out.

How we were betrayed by our governments.

The video below explains how we have been sold out. Younger members od society need to watch and learn.

This is why we need to keep the pressure on all the political parties in the run up to the 2015 election.

“Ineptocracy”

 

A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing numbers of producers.

Plain packaging

If you’re a smoker and are fed up to the back teeth with the war against smokers, then you need to take a stand against plain packaging.

I would bet my boots that our prime monster will incorporate plain packaging into the Queen’s speech in order to be “seen to be doing something” in order to distract the voters (and non voters, peace be upon you) from the drubbing that the conservatives received in the euro election.

Any smokers and non smokers for that matter, should hasten over to the Forest site and sign the letter which will be sent on your behalf, to David Cameron.
