i love juice

Bum Boy Brown really needs to put his back bench gob shites in order, after this outrageous comment by a narrow minded left winger.

Hmmm ok let’s see, Graham Stringer is 58 and it seems the education system in his day was perfect well here are a few names of people around his age who also had Dyslexia. John Lennon, Steve Redgrave, Richard Branson and there are many more. And does he think that its only in this country that there are people with Dyslexia? because i really dont think he could be that stupid to criticise every countries education system, or could he?
During the time when Stringer was a boy Dyslexia was unaccepted and you were called stupid or retarded, maybe he would like us to go back to that approach and beat literacy into the kids, because today’s methods of helping children to overcome their difficulties and aspire into great things is clearly not working. After all he would know best as his degree in Chemistry qualifies him to make such comments.
Again what a Twta!

Its strange how people react to change or how people get stuck in their ways, I work with many different people with many different views and perception on all things. Working with the younger generation and seeing how their minds work is a beautiful thing even when said generation are a bunch of soap dodgers in great need of a bath and a decent meal. Oh the life of a student. My picture today is the work of a student I teach from time to time, the idea of intervening with a used space. After many other attempts he chose to use the staff car park blocking each space with a tree stump, he then videoed the response and reactions of staff turning up to work only to find they cant park their beloved car. This may seem all very childish and more of prank than art, but you see human emotions best when it’s not expected. I was surprised to see so much anger and frustration of having to move a stump or experiencing something completely out of the norm. It true that people in cars are angry people where as all the people that walked passed chuckled. Now I’m no tree hugger but I think it was 1-0 to the trees today.

I really didn’t want to start getting hung up on the activities in Gaza at the moment but I suppose its every where right now. I saw this on the train to work today, photos of protestors in London at the weekend waving placards in the air. This to me says it all and as the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words.

So it’s cold and there is ice, good god people any one would thing that the UK is only use to desert conditions. The fact that the media want to make a big deal out of some sub degree temperatures, batten down the hatches, check your neighbours, don’t drive unless you really need to and stock up on dried goods. We start the New Year on and economic crisis and if this wasn’t enough we make a big deal out of a few bloody icicles.
My only grumble, do the councils not grit the path ways (sidewalk) anymore??!! Nearly come cropper this morning right on my ass!!

Today was the first day back at work and the usual sign that the festive period is over, and as I stood on the icy platform this morning there was no regret or reluctance to get back to it. Nope it was more like excitement for what the New Year may bring in my new job, but then I’m one of the lucky ones returning today as many won’t be. The day before, driving through the park I took this picture of all the used Christmas trees, the picture dose no justice as the pile was huge and when we pulled over (with a reluctant Tenbellies) the smell was fantastic. I thought what a great idea that people would come and dispose of their tree so that they could be used in the park. Maybe this was one of the 100 000 green jobs Bum Boy Brown was think of making up over the next few years to help with massively rising unemployment, hmmm too little to late monkey thinks.

It seems it didn’t take long before the Stars come out of the seedy coke filled holes and start preaching to the world on how we should love each other and get along, hold hands and not fight. Unfortunately it was the second rate stars of the UK and not the Hollywood homos that usually take over the airwaves. How it makes me cringe to see Annie Lennox go on about the children of Palestine and their families during the bombing of Gaza. But surely when you see this you understand that it does have a lot more to do with the religion and the killing of innocent people for their selfish want of paradise. But hey i suppose Galloway could re-educate the people.
My View, we should leave well alone and let Israel do what they need to do and for us to keep out of it. Enough with the “save the world” and lets concentrate on saving our country from downfall. Maybe our TV/Music stars should look closer to home and help with the massive job losses and the hundreds of families losing their homes this year. There is child neglect in the UK and children being killed on our streets is now the fabric of national life, surely it’s not selfish to put things right here first.

Happy New Year one and all, a visit back to the sticks last night saw myself and Tenbellies bring in the new year in true Leekenzian style, lots of drinking and very very bad dancing. A good time was had by all.

So what do we have to look forward to in 2009, well the first black US President, the closure of Quantamino Bay, Hammas getting its ass kicked, Economic Downturn, troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan and even more job loses. So keep your chin up guys and gals it will be New Years Eve all over again before you know it.

We really haven't had much winter weather so far and coming from the sticks and living in the city, you kind of miss that fresh cold crisp weather. While growing up we almost certainly had snow at this time of year and many of my Friends would often had to leave school early because of being snowed in. But snow is a rarity in the city and the weather has been rather warm and disappointing. However I'm lucky that tenbellies and i live very close to the park and on passing it yesterday morning i stopped to take in the awesome frost that had covered everything in sight. I do miss the country and thought of really cold weather in winter but i suppose Sefton Park will have to do for now.

What a great couple of days, not only has this been one the better Christmas's but maybe the last of its kind. But I'm happy that its finished in this way, loads of food plenty of drink and laughter, friends and family young and old full and festive. Now i sit shattered, exhausted but completely satisfied and while i watch nasty Nick say hes sorry to Dot for the umpteen time, I think its time we make our own Christmas next year, maybe further a field who knows.

Just when i thought it was time to relax, i wake up. Today started off with such promise but from messing with faulty Laptop leads and idiot agency bums id had enough by half twelve and wanted to go back to bed waking up next year. But with a stroke of perseverance we got through the hell that are the days leading up to Christmas and i now sit relaxed from some mega mince pie baking looking forward to the festivities.

So from Monkey to all i wish you a festive holiday and a very Merry Christmas. Lets break out the Vino!!
