Week 502 – Ethical Madness, No DLA Or PIP And A Plentiful Supply Of Fish.

Week 152 is now upon us!!

Maybe it’s just me but I sometimes get a line or phrase that I want to use but aren’t sure if what I’m getting at would be clear.

That happened to me this week with this line:

…Only folks of those days could keep up with folks of those days.

That was what gave me a wee bit of inspiration for this weeks posting.

Week 499 – Barefoot And Pregnant, Smoking Fire And Dave’s On Next Week!

Week 499 is now here.

Something came up this week that I want to address and that’s commenting.

This isn’t about any of you lovely people, it’s about my thinking when I comment.

This was brought to light when Dale commented on one of Leila’s early stories and I looked back to remind myself of the tale. I found that there was nothing from me.

Week 497 – Another For Leila, Like, Like…Like! And Plenty More Came.

Week 497 – Well who would have thought it!

Probably anyone who read last week’s Number 496!

Before I begin, I need to send some well deserved plaudits to our very own Leila. You see, the holy grail of the comments world is getting over thirty. A writer a while back managed thirty three. I wish I could remember what story it was Nik wrote that gave him a thirty odd. As far as I can remember, these are the only two who had managed to achieve this. But with Leila’s brilliant post last week, she has, up until now, amassed a mind-blowing forty four comments. (Probably more by the time this is published!) Between Leila and Tom Sheehan, they hold most site records.

Week 495 – My Luvvieness, ‘Theatre Of Blood’ Is A Classic And A Holy Man Against The Master Was No Contest!

Week 495 has crept up, PUNCHED us in the gut and is now LORDING it’s AUTHORITY on us!

What that means, I haven’t a clue – I just went for something a wee bit dramatic…Okay, maybe ‘pish’ is the word that I should’ve used! I reckon Vincent Price could have done that line justice though!

Anyhoo…

Week 493 – If You’re Going To Knock It Down!!!! Mean Machine!!!! And A Nod To You Joe!!!!!

I hope you all have been enjoying the Olympics. I love most of the sports and enjoy watching those that I don’t even understand. (Yachting for example – Who the fuck can see who is winning??

Sorry to all the folks who adore Surfing but unless there is a circling shark, it’s shit to watch!)

And before any sensitive tells me that their gran was eaten by a shark – I apologise. (Bet the shark got the shits!!!)

Here we are at Week 491.

Getting close to 500 – Don’t really know what that means but surely it means something!!

Sign Of The Times Too (The Mile-Stone Inspector)

Bernie loved this day and age.

Before, he was always cold.

He never had enough to eat.

And he hated to admit it, his weakness, his curse, his companion, his reason to stay alive was the sauce. These days he had as much booze as he wanted…Well…

Week 487 – Famous Five, Charlie and Young Mr Bell!!

Who is the greatest writer ever?

Is that a loaded question?

Literally snobs will come up with the usual suspects that I’ll not mention. I can’t really as there are very few of the so called classics that I have read.

Week 485 – Recruitment Lies, Might Get A Complaint And It Should Have Been Kim.

Week 485 is here upon us!

This will be a bit random, but I think that’s how my mind works. Random and tangents stop me being bored. I hate being bored. That is why I hate my work. My brother-in-law said before he retired that he worried that he’d get bored. I’m never bored when I’m not working and always bored when I am!
