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!

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!

This was my week that was!
Well My week started really bad. Last Saturday lunchtime My beloved Plymouth Argyle, live on television, put up the worst performance I have ever seen and lost! Not only did they lose, they got themselves into the record books as the 1st Argyle side not to score in 5 games!
I watched "The Last Night Of the Proms" on Saturday night and was appalled at the lack of English Pride. In the Albert Hall itself there were more and more International flags as seems to be coming the norm nowadays, but then on the outside links to the "Party in the Park" at various locations across the UK, the other home nations were proudly displaying their National Flag, not a Union Flag in sight, they were either Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish and what did the English parade, The George Cross, oh no, they waved the Union Flag. What the F**k!
The English Cricket Teams did a double over their Aussie counterparts, not only did the Ladies defeat the Aussies last month, but the Men played out a draw in the 5th and final test to take the series 2-1 and both teams reclaimed the Ashes.
Well done to you all for restoring some English sporting pride, after the dismal performances of the England football team (mentioned briefly in a prior post!
This one is for my wife!

The Pride and Passion
The Pride and Passion were there last night for all to see, as England's last away fixture in this qualifying group got under way.....The Anthem was sang with such gusto and from the off it was obvious that the team were up for it.
Not one 50/50 tackle was lost, they never let the opposition have any time on the ball and hustled and bustled them into making mistake after mistake, until finally after about 35 mins, the opposition heads went down and the rest is history.
I wish I was writing this about the English performance, but alas, this post gives full praise to the Northern Irish.
Their determination and team spirit won them this game and I will not say anything to take it away from them!
I do however have one last statement which became very clear to me last night as I lay in bed contemplating this defeat.......Northern Ireland play in Green!
Eureka!!!
That's it....all the prima donnas of English football want to play for Plymouth Argyle, no wonder they kept passing the ball to them!
On that performance though ladies, I can tell you now, stay where you are, we fight and wear our shirts with Pride, something the England team hasn't done for a while now. You wouldn't even make the Great Britfuck team on that evidence.
Well done Northern Ireland!

I got a great kick out of this
You have to see this website and search the logs!
I linked to "Cruel site of the day" as part of "My Yahoo" front page.
I have just taken my first look and laughed my arse off!
A quick low down:
A profile is put up with a girl's name and picture, and put in "Skype me" mode. Within minutes some seedy guy will invariably try calling/chatting, and there's a little program I made running the whole time which will partner up people 2 at a time, and send messages from the first person to the second, & vice versa. This way both people think they're talking to a girl, when they find out, well, they're not normally too happy about it... It'll also accept and receive all files sent, and if someone tries to call, it'll accept the call with an answerphone message and log what the person says.
Take a look at the site and read some of the conversations and see the pictures!

ADOLF HITLER You are 61% brainwashworthy, 72% antitolerant, and 100% blindly patriotic |
| You probably you lack the charisma and intelligence to be Hitler himself, but then again, who knows? You've got a few of the necessary traits, at least. You are crazy, nationalistic, and very proud of your background. Right now I am breathing a big sigh of relief that you don't live in Germany in the 1930's, although I guess things couldn't have gone any worse than they did, even with your help. Maybe all this energy that you feel right now could be directed to an end less evil? Are you a Police Officer? Not in my town, I hope. (Scott says, "The funny is, I used to be a Police Officer!") Sadly, you exceeded expectations on all 3 indicators. Deutschland: Uber Alles!  The Terrorism Test |
A week to remember?
A great week of sporting magic is upon us.
On Wednesday we have England taking on the Northern Irish in another World cup qualifier. Let's hope for a better display and the right result against an International outfit which has just notched up it's first win in 4 years!
On Thursday, The final test, England take on the has beens of World Cricket and a former colony, for what should be a momentous occassion, securing the Ashes and returning them to their rightful home!
And of course, the Mighty Argyle take on another has been, Norwich City on Saturday. For those of you with a thirst for how the game should be played can catch this game live on SKY sports beginning at Midday.
One last National cheer for the English and C'mon you Greens!

Book Thingy!
Another idea stolen, this time from SK !
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the 4th sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you!
"He was walking properly, or almost properly."
From my current book which I have only 30 pages left!
Stonehenge By Bernard Cornwell

Link Whore, who me?!
I just stole this idea from Shannon at Make it Count
The rules:Remove the #1 item from the following list, bump everyone up one place and add your blog's name in the #5 spot. You need to do an actual link to each of the blogs for the link-whorage aspect of this fiendish meme to have it work properly.
1. Vampyregirl
2. Bathed in Moonlight
3. Thoughts and rants of the new minority
4. Make it Count
5. Carpe Diem Tomorrow!
I just thought this was a too cool idea....give it a try, what's the worst that could happen? You actually stumble onto a blog or two that you may not have otherwise and find that you like them? That you really, really like them! Yeah, I'd say it's worth the effort.
I certainly a few cool sites to visit!

Three Lions?
Not quite the Performance we were looking for, but a win is a win even if it was just the Welsh and soon perhaps the all the Lions will come together and savage the opposition. We seem to 2 lions short of a team at the moment.
Why is it that during every game I can never sit back and enjoy the game, every time the opposition attacks, I think to myself, here we go, 1 nil!
To me there still is too much, "Well I am wearing the shirt, that's it"
Well I am here to tell you that IT'S NOT!!!
Where's the pride, where's the conviction, where's the honour, wear the shirt and be proud, you wear that shirt for 40 million English people who kick every ball, header every cross and jump in at every tackle, and as for the friendly, what is a friendly, a chance for a nation with a very poor record against to stick one to us, build their confidence and esteem as another national outfit which has defeated the Great English Football Team.
No more chopping and changing, get it right and perform, play to our strengths, not the way the foreigners play, my god, we are European Champions and boast some of the best teams in the World!

Twat of the millennium!
This accolade goes to FIFA President, Sepp Blatter!
Fifa insists a Great Britain team has to play at the 2012 Olympics but, in doing so, has said each home nation's individual status will not be affected.
As a very proud footballing nation, nay, Nation, We the English should not be made a party to this violation of our heritage.
I don't see Spain and Portugal uniting as one, Italy and Switzerland or the Scandinavians, so why try to impose this awful dereliction of National Pride on us?
He says:
"We have confirmed in writing that they have to provide a Great Britain team for the 2012 Olympics," said Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
"But the four British associations will not lose the rights and privileges acquired back in 1947.
"They will play with one team but it is up to them how they do it."
Blatter added: "It can be a mixed team, it can be from just one of the home nations, whatever they want to do."
I have one comment for Mr Blatter, "Go boil your head and try to sort out the offside rule!"
Thank you to Little Man in a Toque for this banner!

Cricket made easy
Here's a post for all of you cricket lovers who don't quite know the rules and are thirsty for knowledge......You think the news has too much coverage now with England going 2-1 up in the series with one test to go....well...look out because if England don't lose, We have the Ashes. So here's the explanation:
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they're all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
I don't know why no one understands this game, it's so simple!
