Part Frog 100% for Justice and Truth

My total pledge amount is slowly creeping up towards the £500 mark which is nice. Still low though.
Ok, anyone here like Monday? No, me neither. Anyone got any tales of Monday woe to share?
Does anybody else ever wonder why pensioners queue outside the post office before it opens in a morning? I mean, it's not like they have a hundred and one things to do, is it? Or am I doing them a grave injustice? Seems funny, thats all.
Well, as I promised a friend via e-mail yesterday, here is the "Death Quiz". Have a look and leave your results in the comments section. Anyone want to do any other quizzes in the series? Personality, best friends, sex................?
1. Talk to no-one, other than your family. Ok, spot the prob time! Answers via the comments button which does work!
Well, I am feeling quite philosophical about life at the moment. Dunno why, I guess it goes in cycles, up, down, up, down, up...............ooer,
sorry, just realised this looks a bit rude now!
1. The London Marathon. Well, you try thinking about that. 3 weeks ago, I was not running, hadn't even thought about it. Now, I am 2 1/2 weeks into training. It gets harder, once the initial euphoria has gone. Once the pain sets in. Once you realise, that you have to go out tonight and run, even though you just want to watch TV and have a beer. Pledge anyone?
2. Starting on my own. I have wanted to work for myself, at home, mainly, for some time. I now have the beginnings of an idea to do just that. In the meantime, fear not frequent visitors, I have not forgotten my ranting side, just not in the right frame of mind, just now. I'll be back though! Meantime, anyone like a copy of the bands first ever video? It's not bad. I will only charge the cost of a CD and P&P, hows that? Say, a quid? Anyone interested? NO? Sheesh, do you know how much time I put int..............................oh, sorry, I just get carried away sometimes!
I am thinking of running a book on Blair. How long will he last. You think it will be popular?
Hey, I had a lot of fun over the weekend with the Movie Maker which is built into Windows XP. I made a video of one of the
tracks on the bands CD and it has come out very well. Thanks Bill! Course, I loathe him and them for everything else they do/have done. So it's not quite all good news!
My daughter gave me a quiz to put on here on Saturday. It was a quiz to decide how long you have left to live. Apparently, if you put your lifestyle details in, it works out your lifespan probability. Nice, eh? You want to see it or not? Answer via the comments link - PLEASE!!!
Well, Monday was indeed a mixed day for me. Went to Newcastle for a couple of meetings which went very well. Spoke to a few
people on the way back about that problem and it seems our District have now started putting the boot into our group. You guys out there as sick of this story as me?
Person has resigned from our group but offered positions in other groups in District by our Distrist Commissioner, so I am told.
Call me childish if you like, but I feel very let down by a number of people over this, NOT including my colleagues in our particular group.
Well, I received my first web donation/pledge for the marathon on Saturday morning, so I was pleased as punch. Eh? Do you know the person? Why yes, it was Clairs, LibDem Councillor - lovely girl!
Man Utd 2 - 3 Middlesbrough Smiles...............................
Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem with spelling as they get older (oh heck, now I have just told everyone I am old - which I am not - not yet, anyway!) Sometimes, I know I am typing the word correctly but it comes out wrong. I wonder if you can drift into dislekca (yes, I know it's wrong!) as you get older? Bloggy
Well, I am still awaiting my official pack from Teenage Cancer Trust, so I can nail all those people who have said they will sponsor me! However, sad to say, nothing from the web yet. This means, either, Bloggy
Well, I am quite surprised (but very pleased) to have received two e-mails yesterday, in connection with this weblog. "Hello,Big fan and regular reader - thought you might like to blog this:
Hope you like it and if you know the answer to question 5, let me know!
So, here is the link (or there it was, up there!) and many thanks to Adam for the note and the link. Have a look, it's not real easy but then again, it's not rocket science but it's fun. And we need more fun. Bloggy
Wednesday already and another week slips gently by. With so much to do in this mad world we live in, it's easy to lose track of time. Marathon training is going well, though the links I put up to my training schedule and sponsorship moneydon't work but my link to my - DONATION FORM - does - * ahem*.
Sometimes I feel very lonely out here in Cyber blogland, sometimes I feel part of something which can and does change things. Today? Isolation.
Hey, Manic pointed us at this, look what I come out as, an Intellectual - HAH!!!!!!
 Which America Hating Minority Are You? Take More Robert & Tim Quizzes Watch Robert & Tim Cartoons
Ok, welcome one and all. Today is the day when I make a request for your support. Your support by way of donations. I am running in the London Marathon and am raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust. So, come on, dig deep and check out the links on the right for a donation form. You know it makes sense!. Thanks! If you are doing it too, drop me a note and let me know how the training is going. Mine is going great, I had several pints last night and the night before!! Oh, and the training links and sponsor summary links, seem to be sleeping peacefully this morning and no amount of kicking can get them out of bed. I don't have time this morning to sort them out but boy, are they in for a rough time tonight! Trust me. It's hard work! Bloggy
Now I hear that the individual has resigned (hurrah!) and that had it been a work environment, I would have been hauled in front of a tribunal. One has to ask, er, why? On what grounds can asking if someone ever has a problem with something be something to put in front of a tribunal? Geez, some people. I am sick and tired of political correctness. It rules the fucking planet and it drives me absolutely insane. I guess we ought to complain that snow is referred to as "that white stuff", as it's offensive to white people? NO, NO, NO, a thousand times NO!! Snow is white.Period.Coal is black.Period. If someone has black skin, there skin is black.Period. If someone is white, they have white skin.Period. If you want to cause problems, then start looking into semantics and words and, bang, you will have a problem. We should never, ever, use the colour of someones skin to boffensive towards them but I think we have really gone too far.
Remember the other day, I mentioned that I was doing the London Marathon? (Incidentally, with exception of "Claire the cute one", no one has offered sponsorship yet, so come on chaps, this is for "Teenage Cancer Trust" and involves me running an awful lot longer than 26 in training!).
When oh when will we wake up as a country and sort out this mess we call Britain? Am I alone in my absolute depression over things like this? I equally think the equal rights has gone too far but hey, I can't say so because it's probably politically incorrect. Do I care? No. Will someone else care about my views? Definitely. Will I get arrested for having such views? It happens, trust me, it happens. Free speech? Do me a favour and stop insulting my intelligence. Rant finished.
Well, true to form, when I tried to resolve a problem last night, the 3rd party concerned threw a wobbler and went crying to our group kleader. My crime?
I had heard from several sources that the person had a problem with something I was planning. Never one to ponder, I therefore asked outright to aforementioned person what the problem was. Now thats what you call a grown up attitude - NOT. I hate office politics and will not tolerate them at all. If someone has something to say to me, lets have a grown up discussion about it. Now, of course, this other person thinks I'm some kind of homicidal maniac. Do I care? Naaaaaaaaa.!
Wow! I bought a new pair of running shoes yesterday and they are fab! I was going to rest yesterday but couldn't resist going out for a run! My time was an incredible 4 minutes quicker over a short route because of the new trainers - yeeehaaaa!! This means:-
Spandex shorts may follow......................... Actually, I am most surprised that there are not lots of such forms already floating around on the Internet. UPDATE. Nope, I have looked around and all I can see are crappy American forms. Looks like I will have to build one myself.Sigh.
Ok, very pushed for time this morning, so here are a few bits done quickly. New enquiry scope not wide enough, need to involve political reasons and decisions, otherwise, it will end up being bollocks. Very wet up here. My work town of York may flood today, river Ouse very high. Need revised law and order policies. Need to sort out judicial system Transport integration is shit (see Manic's site for train stuff)
Ok, sorry, got to go to work now. Tune in tomorrow folks - oh, one last thing. Lots of politics going on in our scout group, gonna sort that out tonight! Bloggy
Well, the preperation for the Flora London Marathon is going ok at the moment. I have yet to do a "long" run but I have been out a few times now and it's getting easier as I find my running rhythm. Still not a sausage on the sponsorship front though. I must do a special page on here to encourage people to dig deep. That's if anyone still reads this of course. Well, does anyone?
He he, I just went to Claire's blog and followed the link to the Worthing Liberal Democrats and guess what? I found a picture of our new friend Claire Potter. Ok, ok, ok, I know thats not what she does all this for but I was just saying, all right? It's always surprising when you have a mental picture of someone and then you meet them or see a picture of them. It's always completely different! Anyway, nuff said, wifey is calling me............
Well M'Lud, it's like this you see. I cannot pay the possible fine and as I didn't mean any harm by stealing those 342 items, on 45 seperate occasions, can you let me off, eh? Please?Please Ok, ok, I know it was only the one offence on this occasion but you see my point, right? Now, I am what I would class a Liberal. Definitely. Absolutely. Most of the time. BUT when it comes to law and order, I must confess to being somewhat right of Attilla the HUn. See, it really, really, really pisses me off, that criminals in this country get let off so much. Oh, he didn't mean it your honour, he was under stress M'Lud. Bollocks! I am under constant stress, yet do I go out doing burglaries, muggings, nicking cars, vandalsing, etc? No I bloody well don't. So, whats the answer? A better police force, thats what. Unshackled by Political correctness crap. The day teachers and bobbies were stopped clipping ears, was the beginning of the end. They should get a warning after first crime. If they commit another one, they should be castrated. That way they can't breed any more scum. Sorry but thats how I feel.
So, it looks like we will be getting an enquiry into the WMD thing. Do we think it will be done better than the Hutton enquiry?
I can't believe another week has gone by. This year seems quicker than last year which itself seemed to pass by so fast.
Cheers all.
Looks like GW is going to try and blame TB for the Iraq war, neat move. Hey, maybe he didn't want the war after all but felt that he really had no choice than to commence hostilities, given the knowledge held that Saddam could launch WMD's within 45 minutes...........................FFS - does he think we are all stupid? He may get away with that in the US but really, I mean, come on!
Just listened to another advert for "Personal Injury Claims" - GOD I HATE THEM! Have they never heard of the expression - shit happens? They should all be pushed down a set of stairs.
Whahay! Guess what I am doing in April, go on, guess. Hmm? No idea? He he, well, I'm taking part in the London Marathon! Yep, little old Bloggy , huffing and puffing around the streets of the old smoke. I will be running for the charity Teenage Cancer Trust, so watch out for your chance to sponsor me on line shortly! Now, back to the training.................groan!!!
This story broke last week. There are some details here which some people may choose not to read. Just goes to prove what a weird world we live in, eh?
Oh, so it's been cold in the UK this week, has it? Try telling that to these people!
I'm not so bothered about the courts ruling in this case.
I'm not even bothered about this off duty policeman wanting
to film himself. Hell, some people, eh?
