Well it's been 5 whole days now since I had my last cigarette...never thought it would be this easy!
I've had the odd craving, stress related, but it soon goes...the craving that is!
All I need to do is use the same will power to get fit and into shape in order to amaze and stun my beautiful wife when I see her again.

Oh come on
I was watching a documentary last night on the Gunpowder plot (Here's a link for all of you non - English types out there who may not be quite upto date yet on World History), produced by the BBC and broadcast on BBC2!
The producers of Timewatch usually give a very rounded view of the whole story leading to the event and a detailed explanation of the consequences after, which, to their credit, they did!
What struck me, like a bolt of lightening, knocked me senseless and dumbfounded, made me so mad that I could crush a grape was their review of the place this event in today's world.
They were asking the question whether with all the religious hatred in the world, should we as a nation still be celebrating the capture of a band of Catholic terrorists some 400 years later, especially now as we are a "Post Christian society"!!!!!
I SAY YES, OF COURSE WE BLOODY SHOULD.
History teaches us valuable lessons and lessons we should never forget!
Well my friends, may I cast your minds and eyes back to my post "I'll tell you what it's all about!!" dated the 3rd November. I can understand people wanting World Peace and safe place to bring up their kids but at what price to a Nations History and Our National Pride.
If you are still reading, here is the full Gunpowder rhyme!
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow:
By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!
A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah!

France Elevates its Security Level
France Elevates its Security Level
As many are aware, the French government recently announced a raise in its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The normal level is "General Arrogance", and the only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.
It's not only the French that are on a heightened level of alert: Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain, "Ineffective combat operations" and "Change sides".
The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdain" to "Dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher levels: "Invade a neighbour" and "Lose".
Seeing this reaction in continental Europe the Americans have gone from "Isolationism" to "Find another oil-rich nation for regime change". Their remaining higher alert states are "Attack random countries (ideally those without any credible military)" and "Beg the British for help".
The British are also feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the Great Fire of 1666 and don't get me started on the Irish!

I'll tell you what it's all about!!
What the hell is wrong with our country.
Councils all over the England are no longer having ceremonies to turn on the Christmas Lights, it's not politically correct, it's now known as turning on the Winter Lights!!!
What the F**K.
What ever happened to calling a spade a spade and Christmas, Christmas!!??
Listen to the people, your People, the English, you know the ones, some of us have ancestral roots going back centuries when Normans were just the French, England managers were English and you could buy a Cornish pasty anywhere in the British Isles!
We want to have our language, our idioms and rites back.
Take a look at the Jewish , Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist festivals and languages......They haven't changed their way of life to accommodate their foreign nationals or immigrants, they appreciate that these festivals pre-date all these asylum seekers, so why the hell should we?
We will be calling Father Christmas, Santa Claus soon and wishing everyone Happy Holidays to be safe!

I have travelled to a few country's I have tried to accept their customs, I refrained from smoking and drinking in public during Ramadan in the Gulf, seen how cute the Americans have been in adapting the Rugby league game to suit themselves and allow their boys to wear padding, so they all get home safely for Thanksgiving dinner and I have asked questions about the cultures and tried to learn the language, in an effort to fit in with them!
So if I can do it, why the hell can't they?
My Grandfather would turn in his grave if he could see what was going on now.

Ah Shit!
I gave up my ideal career to become a House Husband and Domestic God, which is not one of my ideal Career types!?
It appears I had already found it!
I suppose I should be glad that it doesn't say that my worst career options are husband and father!
This also explains why Social workers and I, do not get on!

 You are practical and mechanical.Your talents lie in working with tools, mechanical or electrical drawings, machines, or animals. The worst career options for your are social careers, like social worker or teacher. |

Free sex for 8 years? Join the Catholic Priesthood!
This was the nicest title I could bring myself to come up with!
Mother fucking, cock sucking, ass bandit was another, but I didn't want to offend anyone!
Look at the image on the right, ahhh, poor old man..Then read this:
"Sex abuse priest given four years"
Gregory Carroll (remember the name) abused boys over an eight-year periodA Catholic priest who taught at the prestigious Ampleforth public school in North Yorkshire has been jailed for four years for sexually abusing boys.
That's not bad is it, cause terror and ruin the minds of little school boys and expect a sentence for half the time you carried out these heinous crimes.
If you read the full story you'll find that he had been caught before and was just moved around.
This Wanker needs to be hung, drawn and quartered at the Tower of London with free entry and coverage extended to all media!
Then an Independent committee needs to be formed and allowed entry into the Vatican, with access to all areas and to find out just how many more of these bastards are around!
Just how many more times can we be expected to hear these stories and all the cover ups by this church!
Before any of you Christian types start giving me shit, here's your thought of the Day:
The victims could have been your loved ones!
