Took my lady and a friend to see "The Great Gatsby" on Saturday evening. We all looked forward to it as 1920's styles and stories usually appeal especially with Leonardo de C in the movie. What a let down! We all agreed we were waiting for something to happen when the credits came up at the end of the film! It was such a nothing movie.
My love affair with Orange, as my phone & internet provider, is over. They promised me a really quick download speed, etc. so I agreed to move from Movistar to them. After installation the speed was just half of what I had originally, and my phones didn't work! After numerous calls with Orange they finally agreed that the promised internet speeds were not possible, and they didn't know how to fix my phones! To rub salt into the wound they refused to send out an engineer to look at it. I cancelled within my 'cooling off' period, and it took Movistar two weeks to reconnect me. Now their internet speed is much slower than it was before, and I have sent four emails and had six conversations with them. They promise me everything will be OK by Thursday......this is Spain, this is Movistar....I wonder what year they're talking about.....????
I have a brother in law who is not bright, he was caught shoplifting last week, from a Pound Shop!
I see that Gay marriage is on the agenda again. A good friend of mine was in the army, he got a medal for killing three men, and a discharge for loving one. As I've said before it says in the Bible that if a man lays with another man he should be stoned. So on the one hand they say being gay is wrong but on the other it's OK if you're both smoking dope....
So now that the UK bank that the taxpayers of Britain bailed out is making decent profits, the government wants to sell it to the private sector again. So if it goes tits up again does that mean that the tax payers bail it out again and then on returning to profit it is sold back to the private sector to play with again? It must be great being a rich capitalist, you just can't lose, particularly if the great British public continue to vote in the Tories and the Lib - promise them anything - Dems.
If so called television, radio, and newspaper 'Economic Experts' are so good, how come they're not filthy rich themselves?
I'm well into the third book of the trilogy "The Saturday Pledge". Don't know if I'll ever get a publisher for it though. This is the one that Kindle banned. If anyone knows of a brave publisher that doesn't mind publishing three books that portrays life as it really is, warts and all, please let me know. I may have to self publish these. My friends, who have read the first two in order to give me feedback, tell me they think the first two are absolutely cracking reads. I guess they would say that though......
My local football team, Norwich City, beat Manchester City in Manchester last week. Quite an achievement when you consider that one of the Man City players costs the sum of the total that the Norwich entire squad cost. Also Man City players earn ten (10) times what the Norwich players earn. Norwich City FC are also debt free, probably the only club in the whole of the Football Leagues that is. Shrewd management has done it, and the best meat pies in Christendom thanks to our Delia, of course.
My wife is blond, she came in yesterday to tell me she had witnessed a woman collapsing in La Canada. She said the ambulance men arrived and as the lady wasn't breathing they gave her artificial insemination.
My wife believes that colonic irrigation is not to be sniffed at. We were very hard up years ago and she said she was going to sell one of her livers. I told her she couldn't possibly do that but she was adamant she could get by on just one. She has made me promise that if she is ever on a life support machine that I won't allow it to be switched off until she is down to a size eight.
The college I went to had a lot of drugs around the place. We don't have class reunions, we have flashbacks.
My college flat mate said he doesn't believe that cocaine is habit forming. He should know, he's been using it daily now for over fifteen years. Personally I'm addicted to chocolate, I sometimes snort cocoa. I also believe that young white men take Ecstasy because it makes them think they can dance.
Finally I think that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
