    It’s a me thing, it’s all about me.

    From the instant they were born it was their planet, not yours, or mine.

    There’s wanting a place to live and there’s gluing yourself to it.

    I used to want to live with Charlotte Church – but I never superglued myself to her front door.

    Well, not after the second restraining order, anyway.

    Charlotte Church has always frightened me – she has far too strong an opinion !

    I HAVE TO HAVE QUIET
    I WOULD PROBABLY RUN A MILE
    AND SECURE COVER IN THE QUEEN VIC UNDER BARBARA WINDSOR’S SKIRT.

    I’ll have a light and bitter please – or a bit of this n that – but in complete silence

    Women who never stop talking save me the bother of having to bother to talk at all – that was always my philosophy back in the days when I used to interact with them.

    I’ve since discovered coffee and biscuits – better companions on every level.

    Just when you thought it could not get any better.

    Emily Maitlis in her latest podcast compares Just Stop Oil activists to the suffragettes and Rosa Parks.

    Then ends by reading out an advert for…Virgin Atlantic.

    Presumably it must now use very special aircraft that do not need oil.

    “Posting regularly on this forum, following every days’ racing results, going racing and so on. Why isn’t that an addiction, Glad?
    Probably because you’re looking at the negative meaning of the word.”

    Ruby I was actually on your side on this one – with regards to addictions being positive a lot of the time – until I went on a date with a smart lady and she corrected me stating that addiction actually always means something that has a negative impact on your life. I had to google it while we were waiting for our dinner to arrive just to make sure I wasn’t being had on, and it turns out she was indeed correct. I’d always thought addiction just meant something you couldn’t stop doing, but by definition it actually involves negative consequences on ones life.

    Chezza is working every night on his patented “Hydrolytic Converter” – it converts sea water into fossil fuel.

    It has three buttons on it – D for diesel, U for unleaded and M for mute so you can watch ITV Racing with it on a Saturday afternoon.

    It will retail at £9,999.99p and its performance over time deteriorates slightly faster than a smart phone.

    Only available via the internet at Chezzenterprises.com.

    I see this lot launched a very ineffective protest at Lord’s, swiftly dealt with by Bairstow.

    Of course, they would not dream of protesting at their beloved Glastonbury, an event which must use quite a lot of oil and where celebrities fly in by helicopter.

    There was a picture doing the rounds on social media earlier this week showing some JSO professional protestors packing away their equipment – into a Range Rover. Somehow I doubt it was an electric version.

    As a baby boomer I feel my generation spent its childhood and early adulthood being told what to do by older generations, I must have blinked and missed the bit where we were in indisputable control and now we’re being told what to do by too many elements of younger generations.

    Well, I’m not having it – this is my time, I’ve waited long enough for it and I’ll do as I please – and I suspect I’m not alone in that sentiment.

    I’m now off to the nearest petrol station to demand a tank of EXTRA-LEADED fuel.

    ‘Of course, they would not dream of protesting at their beloved Glastonbury, an event which must use quite a lot of oil and where celebrities fly in by helicopter.’

    There can hardly be a regularly held event in the country that uses more oil overall. Brandon Flowers, who as far as I know lives in the USA, went there for one song with Elton John. Well, half really as they shared the vocals. I’m not criticising, but I’m not a member of JSO either.

    ‘I’m now off to the nearest petrol station to demand a tank of EXTRA-LEADED fuel.’

    Fun* fact, it’s less than two years since leaded petrol became a thing of the past with Algeria being the last country to phase it out in 2021.

    *Term used loosely

    I find it quite cathartic to have that kind of borderline “Falling Down” moment rant occasionally and I’m back to normal now and able to assimilate “fun” facts.

    Those crazy Algerians!
