Leicester 2 Norwich 3

2011-03-08T21:50:00.002Z

Norwich Controlled the second half. Leicester's second goal did not rreally count. There was no time for Leicester to score and cause a draw. Norwich look good for one of the top two places.
Apologies for the lack of blogs, but I haven't felt well enough.
Regards A win like this makes me feel better.

Drink or no drink?

2011-03-05T11:40:00.005Z

Sorry have not kept up to date with this blog. Relations have been here for a couple of days. Haven't had a alcoholic drink for ages though have come off the tablets that prevent me, for pharmaceutical reasons. They made me tired without having an alcoholic drink at all.
Seem to do my tweet more than I blog. But you'll get more on the blog, sometimes.

Norwich city.

2011-02-27T10:24:00.003Z

Norwich City FC great yesterdday a well deserved win. One of the best goals of the season.
Might still only be in the play offs. Though I hope Norwich will be at least second

Norwich City FC.

Norwich City still feeling pressure from Leeds match Leeds as well. Leeds have a man sent off. Norwich score an own goal. Both teams match's end in a draw.

Raining Bullets.

2011-02-22T11:36:00.001Z

There is no reason to doubt it was Colonel Gaddaffi putting his head out of a van covered by an umbrella, showing he was live in Tripoli yesterday. Perhaps he needed an open umbrella to stop bullets spraying his head. Did make me wonder if Gaddaffi had a Libyan look-alike. Not in Tripoli but speeding off to the desert somewhere. Just to confuse us.

No Gain Without Pain.

2011-02-21T11:39:00.002Z

Israel seems the only nation fairly quiet in the Middle East. with what is happening in the Suez canal area of the world. With Libya a tinder box at present I fear what is going to happen there. Young and middle-aged Libyans don't seem to fear the Gaddaffi regime any more. They want their rights. But don't feel they have any duties to the regime any more. The population is mainly young, Middle-aged being late 30's early 40s. want democratic rights without responsibilities.

Top Guns.

2011-02-20T11:49:00.001Z

Norwich's point gained at Leeds yesterday was nothing short of miraculous if you had watched or like me heard the first half blitz Leeds vitrollically 'blitzed' Norwich City's goal with. Might turn up to be Norwich's most important point of the season. With the teams in the top six so close together.
I an not sure I'll ever get round to deleting my old Blogs now. Sorry.

Sheer laziness. They ought to be automatically deleted after a month or so anyway.

By Royal Command.

2011-02-18T09:22:00.001Z

I suppose the answer with this government is the same with most democratic governments around the world. Some you can change their mind and sometimes you cannot. This con/dem esplanade you can stop selling our forests to theme park entrepreneurs. But not avoid arm sales to the kingdom of Bahrain. The selling of arms is far too lucrative a business. God forbid our Royal Family was ever at risk of becoming unstuck from its investments like Bahrain. But would we need the support of the U.S. Navy to keep our Royal Family(God Forbid)to keep support for our Royal Family too?

2011-02-16T10:19:00.000Z

Chief executives don't seem to live in the real world like we do. Cuts for us are the norm. They simply get incentive pay rises for doing a good job in cutting our services. For instance in Norwich they have saved 'Sensory Support' by linking it to the N.N.A.B; but cut Sensory Support's budget by 40 per cent. I haven't heard the Chief Ececutive of Norfolk County Council, having to cut his budget by 40 per cent, even on a voluntary basis.

The Big Issue Too.

2011-02-14T10:39:00.002Z

The 'Big Issue' and the 'Big Society' seem to have something in common. They are both in their different quarters, the former journalism, the latter politics, both like elephants invisible to everybody else in the room, who does not want to take the trouble to notice them. Either we are not interested in 'tag' journalism. Somebody trying to stick a price tag on us and then charging us for a newspaper we don't want. Or similarly a political idea about 'volunteering' not paid for as good middle class thrifty people we don't want for nothing either. The working class may want both the Big Issue, and the Big Society. But they can't pay for them. The middle class can pay for them but doesn't want to buy something that seems to imply they both don't seem to need to be paid for. Especially if you ignore them.

Rooney's Wonder Goal.

2011-02-13T10:12:00.002Z

I would have been more glad about Rooney's wonder goal, if he had during the F.A. World cup scored a even one goal for England whatever the quality.
Aren't Norwich City doing well. And Norwich have sold an extra share rights issue for £2 million. Must be worth more than Rooney's goal really. Though perhaps not actually.
EXcept to us.

Soothed By A Look.

2011-02-10T12:52:00.000Z

Dr.McClean's theory that it is less painful looking at an injections than not, because of the analgesic effect of the look. Apparently looking comes from that part of the brain which soothes pain as well. May work for some people. Me I prefer not to look when I'm having my 3 monthly B!2 injection. I can't test Dr.McClean's theory. For my injection is in my top back shoulder the site of which I can't see anyway. If 'seeing' with my mind helps this I try to do.

Cuts Bleed.

2011-02-08T18:48:00.001Z

The cuts to Outer Manchester services are staggering. County Council services are no longer able to cover what they once did. Swimming pools to go at the crunch of an auctioneer's mallet. I wonder I wonder if one of Outer Manchester's swimming pools will have new residents-Dolphin's. Perhaps you will be able to pick up a space in a car park for peanuts. Or at least a monkey.
It's so terrible for the people of outer Manchester, and even Norwich I cant joke about it.
It grew and it grew and it Grew. It's only a Greater Manchester people service's Job Seekers' Allowance QUEUE; and Norfolk County Council too.

Librariees?

2011-02-07T13:09:00.001Z

Mary Berrys carrot cake is a bit like Cameron's attitude to Libraries in his vision of the 'Big Society'. Plenty of icing sugar at the when you open the packet. In the Big Society this is the 'volunteers' who will provide everything the reader needs; even new books?

Lets Integrate Together

2011-02-05T09:38:00.001Z

Why should young Moslems identify themselves with our culture and traditions Cameron asks?. He asserts just because a person practices Islam this doesn't mean the person will automatically become an extremist, willing to kill other people and blow himself up in the process. We shouldn't be paying Moslem organisations to impart radicalism to young Moslems, heading them on to the path of extremism. Moslem society should be an integral part of British Society. Let's integrate together.

The Middle Way.

2011-02-04T13:11:00.003Z

'You'll suddenly find you have become yourself' ssaid a relation egnimaticadllly to Ashok, the Indian who had been educated in England. As also 'Pierre' was told by a mysterious freemason along Pierre's way in War and Peace. The whole new person being greater than the dischoate parts bdfore. Ashok we suppose becomes a real Indian, and Pierre, turns to the 'common man' approach. Being imbibed with the wisdom of freemasonry, once Pierre is 'stripped' of his egotitical wealth. That way never suited me.

He who Pays the Piper.

2011-02-03T14:56:00.004Z

The U.S. government are playing the 'softly softly' approach in Egypt. But it is the case that the U.S. are 'paying the piper' to 'play their tune. The million dollar subsidy the U.S. are paying the army, won't ensure the revolution result goes their way exactly; but every little helps, and a million dollars is a lot.

The invisibility Tool.

2011-02-02T18:53:00.003Z

Got my TV converted to HD. Found HD was no good if I couldn't see if the TV's standby button was on or off. So got in a muddle putting the TV on again from it's off position. Invisibility is only elpful if it's cloak can mask the emotional shock of someone 'blind lkie me'having to sware to make himself visible to others.

President Of Nothing.

2011-02-01T09:59:00.003Z

The world of the Egyptian 'Leader' has collapsed. Now his army even won't support him. Perhaps he doesn't even have the choice now of leaving the country. Without the army's support he is President of Nothing. Not even perhaps his own destiny. Will he leave the country to a blissful retreat by the sea worth millions of dollars he has perhaps salted away.? Or will he justly have an accident, and disassapear? his fate will decide. The end won't be justice.

I always expect Andy Murray to win win as I begin to follow a match like today's Melbourne tennnis final. But it was easy to forecast his eventual defeat wasn't it?
Murray ran out of leg power. Without the normal power he has in his lis legs. a win was too much leg power for him to climb.

Further on in my lounge, from hospital, is a small useful looking trollery. Both items from the hospital support services, free. I feel older because these support services are not issued to people who can do the normal things in life, which involves carrying a tray without spilliages,; I can't. Or walk more than two steps ssafely; without holding anything to keep my balance. sill I, like Adam Adamant, has returned. I am not soownh-hearted either. There is still plenty to 'blog' about'.

Match-box Forests.

2011-01-27T11:21:00.003Z

Most people don't like the idea of selling 'privatishng' our forests. What's th ub off our forests when now we don't know what these trees will be worth exactly when the trees are fully grown. Forests are part of the natural world's ecco security; storing carbon. To sell off our forests would be like selling off part of our ecco culture. Who wants match-boxes, instead of 'ecco security.

For the previous 15 days I have been lanquishing in Kimberley ward at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital. Suffering from a kidney that decided not to work, because the calcium levels were wrong. Finally confirmed it wasn't me going mad. Though I was 'delirous' because of not having the correct callcium level in my kindney. Therefore retaining too much water. Calcium tablets being ignored because of lack of communication. Don't go into the woos with either bears or Doctors.

Baby Its Snowing Outside.

2010-12-20T09:42:00.000Z

This is my understanding of how our climate works now.
We are actually in the middle of a mini-ice age. This range of weather incidents will not continue permantly. Our UK. weather is affected by the Northern Polar Jet stream; of course it can be cold. There is also the Solar 12 year old cycle which is late this year. You can see the s
Solar Cycle; some aspects of which are the lack of sun-spot this year. The jet stream because it is at the end of it's cycle is very slow and meandering. The tail waggles a bit over the U.K.
Looking at our climate needs a heeds a historical viewpoint.
In medieval times delicious wine was home grown. In the eighteenth century the River Thames was frozen. They held a 'barbecue' there.

My TV was sorted out by a Virgin Media engineer. I had gone into settings, and unticked off, one of those fiddley little buttons which don't seem to lime up with anything. So free View wasn't connected with Virgin Media any more. I didn't quite admit to this mistake. My Roberts radio is beautiful. Sounds much better than the previous one. I got a lecture abou sound dynamics. Which since I have owned a pair of Quad Electrostatic speakers should know all about anyway. My Quad CD(p)player sounnds much better when a bit of the CD's decorative front unexpectedly fell off, in front of me.
Nothing lost and purity of sound gained. Something that seemed stuck up inside with Velcro.

Nor go out to Norwich and fight in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas rush for present. Then I lock myself out from my computer with 'Child Protection' somehow. I am 72. This takes an hour and a half to put right, with a lady from abroad who is very patient with me to get the whole thing working again. I forget what the 'voice tet' is all about.

Norwich lost 0-2 to Portsmouth. But the second half was more exciting than the first. Since slept during the first half. In my defence I'd had a very busy morning vacuuming my lounge and using the Hoover upstairs. I have not been very well this week. Some of you may say 'it's swine flu.

Burnt Up History.

2010-12-10T15:39:00.000Z

I just thought about the media they were told to keep the reports of the student riots at low key and they did. My own observations were half the world knew about the riots and half didn't because they hadn't watched them on TV. The riots were the most were the most significant political historical event in the U.K. to take place in this 21st Century yet. R4, and 5L almost ignored them.

Students Rampage?

2010-12-10T10:03:00.002Z

Everybody who looked at the News 24 pictures showing the 'student riot, attack. The Treasury windows were smashed out. The Treasury door was nearly smashed open. Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall had a narrow escape. The driver went to the back of the car to open the boot, then vanished. Was he S.A.S?
The attack on the Royal car must have been planned. I feel there were more than militant students at work here because of the precision involved. .

Cameron and his committee should have contingency plans ready. Even some council's have plans like Norfolk County Council have an on-griti and salt t contract with a European country. One county Council has updated their gritting lorries. A pity Norfolk County Council can't update the Wheelie bin emptying lorries. Ours have not been emptied today.

The cost of the U.K. trying to get the vote for Britain getting the 2018 FIFA world cup here must be astronomical,; flying Beckham, and the P.M. everywhere. I hope this unwarranted cost, in my opinion, is published on the net as 'government expense' somewhere loud and clear. Not surprising Russia with all her money got the vote. But the fact that Russia has never had the World Cup before must have been supportive of Russia winning the 2018 now. All I hope is we have a good enough team for winning the World Cup in 2018.

The BBC with their new approach to climate change , totally rubbishing any opposition; could have knocked me down with a feather.. I think there is a natural solution. This period of wet and very cold winters have been reported since the Middle Ages, with crops suffering and starvation resulting. This 'fluctuation' of the weather lasted longer than a mere change of the weather. Our wet cold winters have been much longer for a longer time than before.
If the BCC keeps on saying next Summer is going to be hot, and the weather is hot, they will have got the weather right some of the time.

Don't you think these days weather forecasters sometimes go over the top? Take today's weather forecast. 'The weather presenter said The bulk of the snow will fall in the East The bulk is 2 cm. Moreover now weather forecasters can predict the trend of the climate for the next 10 years or so. When I thought they dare not even predict more than 3 months ahead. Next summer is going to be very hot according to them. Our recent spate of poor wet summers is due to natural fluctuations. of our climate. We are definitely going through a climate change warming period caused by us and the methane from cows.
