Why can't todays young people see the enemy isnt the general public who they see as lacking in WOKE attitudes, but all our governments who are literally going for 1984 as fast as they can ?

I like this advert too much at the moment.

More annoying than this to shop workers is a person like me who is unwilling to use the self payment machine at the checkout. Ive spent my money and then they expect me to do the work of payment by card. Call me old fashioned but a bag would be nice and some service. Apparently its " popular " an attendant told me recently. In all areas of society personal interaction is on the wane, and automation and help lines are being deemed as what we all want ? The expression on the young womans face here is accurate...lol

Of course this new system is not entirely compulsory, but just like bypassing the touch screen order console in a fast food place you feel awkward as though you are jumping the que if you do not stand in line and walk past all those people queuing. Its the new normal. Its making me want to avoid some shop.

Imagine face recognition had been wide spread in shops during lockdown. It would have been really easy to exclude some from entering them. Face recognition at tills is spreading rapidly now.

Funny, but I give up !

Its becoming more noticeable. But what will happen when one releases a music album ?  How will this change fame ?

Despite a hot May and June...

 A weekend of terrible weather. Pouring rain, only 11 degrees which is the coldest ive known during the day time in June, never mind July. Oh, and a north wind occasionally howls around the window frames. It rains most days now, and to think I predicted drought. Meanwhile Europe bakes in record temperatures.

A new project

Im hoping to buy this bike tomorrow night. Its very unusual as its a BMW courtesy bike that I presume people have used when they leave their car at the dealership for work. Courtesy car are common of course, but ive never heard of a bike for that purpose. Its cheap too at only £150. Its a novelty and I want it.

The weather here is awful. Cool and wet and hardly a dry day. I need something to tinker around with at night, especially when it chucking it down. The jet stream has moved and is causing a heatwave in Europe but the rain is being all shoved our way. May and June were hot and dry though .

God help us. Were doomed.

 This country is doomed. Today I visited a large clothing chain. I asked at the check out if there was even one mirror in the whole store, because I couldnt find one. Maybe it was just me ? But no. The reply I got stunned me. " No, there arent any. Weve taken them all down for health and safety reasons. People kept walking into them and banging themselves, especially youngsters " Is this the level we are at ? People arent in a fit state to deal with the concept of a mirror ?

A relations wife who teaches swimming told me today that many children are just so dumb that they " parrot " back at her one word answers when she asks them a question. And they keep on doing this and cannot move on. She said they are in general almost retarded. If the next generation cant deal with the concept of a mirror without injuring themselves what does this say for the future ? I was genuinely shocked. Really.

A fallen gaint

 I happened to catch site yesterday of a man who caught a " mystery virus "  last winter. He has been paralyses for several months, but has now improved some what, and is rocking a mobility scooter. He has aged 15 years during this, understandably. 

I know his problem started with tingling in his hands and feet. Probably a circulation thing ? 

He was a very strong tall man.

Huw Edwards - Huwge Distraction, Huwge Problem, both, or something more…?

I think a bigger picture must be forming in peoples minds as to whats going on with our entertainers and rulers. They are masking monsters and protecting them. For this reason our press, however down market must keep their right to point out these people, but without naming until the evidence is clear. Here we see " no evidence "really, other than the police having no appetite to dig, the abused young man having no appetite to press charges ( he has had £35,000 for the news reader ) and the presenter is in no fit state or has no desire to talk anymore about this. Digging these people out and exposing them only happens as a last resort because those in power are in the same club ? Committees investigating sex abuse in high places cannot get anyone to chair them. 

The news reader was one of my first guesses during the initial frenzied speculation period. 

Time to get out !

I have to admit that my head does not feel as good recently. Aches in my sinuses and prickling and a strange resonance when I experience certain sounds. Im more jumpy than I was, sounds such as someone turning a door handle to enter a room Im in, especially if my back is to the door. Last night the phone rang and I literally jolted in my seat. My nerves are more on edge again.

Sometimes I blame tea, sometimes Coke...sometimes being tired. I noticed this weekend at a busy car show, in a ware house full of noisy people that suddenly my ears jarred at the sound of my wife and daughters voice. I was obviously triggered. It stopped as soon as I went outside I noticed.

I wake up to slight palpitations as well again now. Strange how things fluctuate. You cant fool the mind. Feeling agitated I went for a cycle ride on my own down an urban cycle path that I always wanted to explore. 

I think this is going to be a long term thing for me. Its at a manageable level now though.

Its a slow walk, but does it ever end ?

The last taboo ?

This lesson really needs to be learned by male and females. Its especially aimed also at middle aged middle class couples whose children have flown the nest and now spend their time endlessly walking the countryside in an arrogant trance like state while playing the innocent that their dogs is a wild animal in the heat of the  moment, as are they.
