Please support Troop Aid if you can. They are a voluntary organisation dedicated to helping support our injured troops. To quote from their website:
When troops return to the home from the war zones they usually arrive back without their personal effects or clothing. The objective of TROOP AID is to supply the ‘basic essentials’ when service casualties return from serving their country overseas. Click on the logo at the top right of this page to read more. If you want to add a Troop Aid banner to your blog or website it is quite easy if you are even slightly familar with the HTML code that makes up your page. Copy the code below by clicking inside the box then Ctrl+C to copy the code. Go to “Layout” if you are a Blogger user, and click the tab marked “Edit HTML”. Scroll down the page until you find the tag labelled <body>, paste the code into your template immediately below the BODY tag. If you are a bit nervous about doing this click “Download Full Template” to backup your existing layout then if you mess up you can restore the original layout by using “Choose File” and “Upload”. WordPress users shouldn’t need any instructions. The procedure is virtually the same. The only place the logo is stored is on my domain at http://earlshilton.org.uk/images/troop-ribbon.png. If you want to copy it to your own domain please feel free, but don’t forget to change the url in the code. UPDATE: This code may not work for some templates. It worked for me, but that doesn’t guarantee that it will work in every template, so remember to back-up your template before playing around with the code! I can’t accept responsibility for any cock-ups. If you do find any ‘bugs’ in it please let me know.

Have a great St Georges Day. I’m off to a celebration dinner tonight. Thanks to Bron Marshall for the cake!

I scrolled up and down but couldn’t find “England”! There is a “United Kingdom”, but united kingdom means just that. It is a combination of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK is NOT a country as such. I will not put the UK as my country of birth, I might just as well put EU! (No doubt it will come to that eventually if our Government in Brussels decides it). I tried to put England in the box, but it wouldn’t accept it (obviously) and it wouldn’t let me move on to the next page until I had ticked a country of birth. So I thought “fook ‘em!” and signed out. They can’t want my new phone number and address very much. There isn’t even a means of contacting them by phone, so I shall be paying them a visit later today to complain about the fact that they are railroading people into denying their own country.

What do you think of my new home then? Be honest, but not too honest, or I will delete you and keep the blog-warming present you’ve brought with you. I bags the blue chair. The rest of you can have the yellow chair. UPDATE: I just had a call from a Mr Gordon Brown, he says he might come by later. I would like to give him a warm welcome; that is if I can find enough petrol . . . .

Obviously the signwriter didn’t pay attention in the English class at skool. I wonder what his other work looks like? In our local paper it stated that: “. . .at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, where Henry VII was killed, it was found that . . . etc.” In the same paper you very often find “there” and “their” used in the wrong context, but we’ve got used to that and it’s no longer funny. Whatever happened to Tony Bliar’s promise at the 1997 elections, “Education, education,education”? We’re all doomed I tell you!

Who are the people who permitted my country to be overrun with people who don’t belong here, are not like us, do not have the same tolerances, religions, respect or behaviour, or in any way shape or form warrant so much attention in deference to those who’s country it is, who would, if they believed an entire group of people can have one collective psyche, be in danger of beginning to hate the very people who’s job it is to protect us? My hope therefore is that we do not begin to hate each other but that we must collectively learn to realise that it is our government and politicians we need to hate, for they created the problem of the multicultural melting pot which has turned my country into a place where only hatred grows for the indigenous population who built it. A place where only victimisation, discrimination and guilt are aimed at the white man by fools who think that an entire group of people can be ‘racist’, and with a government that thinks itself clever that it destroyed its own people with mass immigration, which will continue to bring only hatred and further oppression against the indigenous people of Britain unless it is prevented.

At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?” Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.” Apologies to my French relations and friends. C’mon fellas, it’s only a joke; honest!

Cick on the picture to enlarge. This property may need a little TLC, and a lick of paint here and there in order to preserve it’s sheer beauty. It’s full of character and history. Built in 1995 to the classic “Early Slum style” it will give years of pleasure and worry to it’s new owners. It is also haunted by a friendly ghost called “Axeman Jacques” who lived there for a few weeks before he was caught by the Fuzz (Gendarmes) for axing to death several villagers. As he lay on the Guillotine he said “I’ll be back!” just before his head was surgically removed. Don’t worry though he is a friendly chap and definitely an asset to the house. I thought I would give first refusal to all my friends who read this blog, both of you. If you are interested RSVP ASAP because I need the money to pay my fines and the bailiffs. |

Here are a few facts, which might help you decide if you've had the unfortunate experience of meeting me in real life or not ... I am 74, divorced and available. I enjoy French cooking, drinking lots of wine, (French of course!) and holidaying in France (on a pittance, I might add!). I also have a passion for amateur radio and electronics. I design and make stained glass windows now purely as a hobby (It used to be my trade until I retired). My other interests are archery and French boule; playing Petanque with friends and a nice bottle of vin rouge on the side.
