Screw British Gas, they can fight me later if the credit balance I have with them don't cover it.

Well tomorrow I got a colonoscopy in Sheffield.
Just taken the first dose of clearing out stuff, it tastes bloody horrible
Another dose of more potent stuff in approximately 3 hours to take as well.
I'm going to be starving by tomorrow morning, at least the procedure is at 9.30am

So tonight we crack our second site in just 3 weeks before private Balliffs move us on Saturday. They are animals who damage both trailers and vehicles getting them to the highway . Best we move ourselves.
Wish us luck, prep done to access with chainsaw and lock sorted already.

So today is my 65th birthday.
In years gone past I would be applying for my State Pension.
However due to government messing about I have another 16 month to do before I get SP.
In addition I have the transfer to Universal Credit letter, Happy Birthday.

So evicted from a long standing site.
Eviction date the 18th.
Managed to break a new site 12 days ago but just been told we have to a week Saturday before Balliffs tow us off.
Gained a whole 3 days...
It's getting really hard to live on the road.

Blessed Solstice to all.
If you're at the stones enjoy.
If you're somewhere else special to you you're likely better off.....

Just had to fill in the application form to renew my blue badge and hand delivered.
14 pages of which 12 I had to fill in.
Taken two weeks and still have to get a photo taken and sent in.
I swear it was as difficult and stressful as a PiP form.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 34 MILLION! 👏

LETS DO THIS!

If you’ve never had to fill in the form, try to collect all the supporting evidence and then been through a PIP assessment.
If you've never had your condition dismissed by a stranger.
If you've never lived in terror of the brown envelope. Then your opinion on PIP is worthless.

Happy Spring Equinox.
Hopefully will catch a few of you in a field somewhere soon.

If this is you too, spread the message.

Newsreader on TV says: "Good evening, everything is shit. Here's Carol with the weather"

Incredibly, things seem to have got even shitter since I drew this cartoon, which is in the current Private Eye.

Signed prints available, DM me for details.

Facebook Portal.
Yes I know it's 'Old Tech' but being disabled it was useful for reminders and the Alexa function, video calls and Spotify.
Meta's deliberate withdrawing of these systems / apps is bordering on criminal.
Do you think I could get a refund from Amazon?

FUCKTOSE INTOLERANT /fuhk-tohs in-to-luh-runt/ The condition of being completely unable to tolerate other people's bullshit.

It’s getting worse. #GrumpyHedgy

YouTube video by OLD TAPES Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 1972

Yet another part of my past gone.
A favourite song when I DJed in the late '70's and into the '80's as a Last Song of The Evening.

Good morning lovely phone family. Another wet and cold day here. How's it looking for you?
When I speak to homeless folk, they're as grateful for the time and effort of those chatting to them as much as financial or practical support. We all need kindness 🥰
Have a great day 😘

Watchdog recommends £2,500 pay rise for UK MPs Under Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority’s proposal, a backbench MP’s wage would rise from £91,346 to just under £94,000

"There's no money!"

"Oh it's for us?"

"Oh in that case we can afford it"

Magazine advert with an image of a glass and bottle of red wine and the text: Looking for a fine wine at an affordable price? None of Yer Shité If you are tired of paying £5 for a bottle of wine, only to be disappointed by its inferior taste, then you'll be pleasantly surprised by None of yer Shite. A truly drinkable drop at a price that won't break the bank. Comes in Red, White and Rosé Available at Majestic, Boozebuster, Cigs 'n' Booze and all good offies.

Public Transport should be free.

No tickets, no ticket barriers, no cameras, no enforcement, no profits.

Why isn't it?

Excellent solution.....

See if He / She / They etc send a kiss back on the reply...
