P.S. I could earn, and work black tommorow, but choose not to for reasons of priciple, cowardice, and self-respect, how's that for starters, plus my CV's some 3 inches thick & getting thicker with irellevant rubbish?

PMQ's now methinks!

Dear Fritz,

I guess you would see that I could not deal with emotinal blackmail, I have some experience, both in the familial setting, and unfortunately from a friend who threatened suicide twice. The second time I dealt with it rather peremtorily, and we ceased to be friends! You cannot pull the same stunt twice, and I told his parents just that, for which I became a real Judas in his eyes, and strangely theirs too. Needless to say he is entirely alive today... Liveing at home on a sort mental sick-leave that will never change I guess.

I could never deal with it, so keep in mind that you can only be helpful by being strong yourself. Keep strong. That all said in the most positive way, ratherh than a lecture. I know all this only too well for myself.

Good luck with it from Fredrik

That's good commentary Fredders old bean, and is experience 'unfortunately' known by far too many, innit. Just to reitterate as a last point in my situ. Unlike a Clinic or Hospital scenario, where I would work (have done) under supervision of pro's in the field, of whatever level, I myself have only experience and intuition for each individual situation, and absolutely no qualifications (or desire to get them either) in this field. Nether-the-less, I am (will be most likely be) in the 'field' literally visiting private homes etc, totally unsupervised and unprotected 'legally' , as all sorts of things can/may/have & will happen, and it just should not be the case, but is.

There are many aspects to this kind of work (mainly to protect those being cared for) as well as ensuring that the likes of 'Me' are suitable, etc, etc, to be let loose on frail vulnerbale people, and any of you out there having their usual little sneer & unjustified larf, should put themselves in my or a similar position, then decide how funny and lazy it all is.

This cannot be compared with voluntary work by the way, or feel good factor twice a year charity events to impress everybody down at the lodge with either; one either knows where I'm coming from, or one doesn't it's as simple as me, as always! and kindness and good will also play no part in the game of reality, innit

Lastly but not leastly, who is actually responsible for my actions if I fuck up? Who takes the can for unmotivated, bitter folk & colleagues, who are forced to do a task they despise, and the 'client' suffers as a result?

Would you let half of the folk on this forum (who are perpurtedly parents) loose on your kids at the local kindergarten, where they've been sent 'quite unwillingly' to teach English/ German/ Danish, etc? I know I bloody well wouldn't


Nice and lively in the hoose too wunnit :Police State' what's that then? let's just hope that nothing happens in the next few hours/days to further uphold Our Tony's latest wheeze? (Know wot i mean John?)


Thank God A.Campbell's out of the frame?

You wanna watch those labels Fredders, they sometimes stick!

P.S. You did the right thing with your ex-friend, and in a similar situation, should do the very same thing again, I would, will, and have, often, unfortunately, even though some have actually done the deed (successfully) afterwards, I've never felt any guilt as such, sadness yes, but guilt no, and I tend to think along the lines today of:

Fuck em!

As hard as that may seem, whoever it may be! and I certainly don't/wouldn't expect any different attitude towards myself either, if I were the psycholigically blackmailing puppeteer, daft or intelligent/malicious or innocent, innit


Our Deano knows all about Freedom too dunnee

Taking a small break in watching the quite 'brilliant²' debate in the Hoose over the new 90-day-holding-without-charge proposals, I can't help but think that for all the fine words, and excellent points and 'quotes' put across by all sides, they will have absolutely no bearing on the governments later contraversial win on the matter, and very likely later piling-through of the Lords under the guise of the Parliament Act, breathtaking stuff indeed, immensely sad also; in that no legal & ideal solution will be found, Oh no!


Evenin All:


Sadders has been in longer than 90 days now, and he bloody well started it all by invading Canada that time

An IFA showing off on holiday in Egypt


Sometimes it's a pleasure to be proven wrong, innit, even if something horriblis occurs soon or not


They'll be heckling at party bleedin conferences next

No surprises then that this front page is being filibustered with a cuccophony of mundane repetitive 'technical' threads 'once again', it must be jolly exciting to have such power

And yes I am being sarcastic, it's very sad & obvious! perhaps if somebody mentioned the police failure to arrest one/more of the eventual 7/7 bombers for collecting money for terrorist purposes who were being shadowed? (inquiry yet to appear?) will be more interesting, maybe a few speed camera's chucked in to boot


The old Pink Salmon Show is almost looking interesting of late, what with undercover Germans, and the Parry Juniors in on the act, innit


Damn, I've burnt my fish fingers


Should 'serving' Senior/all Civil Serviles, wether Military, Police, etc, etc, unelected Council Wallers, be fired if they preach Politic from their positions? and only have a free-word (books/memoirs) etc after retirement, I think we should be told?

Take your compensation and next time don't gamble with something as important as your mortgage.

Well said that man, it's about time somebody told things how they actually are, innit

Mind you of course those poor old IFA's, etc, who sold them the idea & policy in the first place, take no risk whatso'ever, or is somebody in the know gonna tell us all otherwise, now's their big chance, and highly unlikely too

Bad news chaps I'm afraid! After just returning from an hour and halfs long grilling cum-job interview, I finally didn't get the post. I'm not sure if it was saying 'No thank you, it's far too early yet' after being asked If I drank now & again, by one of a panel of five sitting before me? or if it was after I'd told them that I 'occassionally' posted wise-words on hifi internet forums based in Salisbury UK?

Never mind Chaps, better luck next time eh! and look on the bright side afterall! I'll be able to keep up the quality of my posts now, instead of having to rush things at the firms expense, and just bunging in loads of old toot for sheer quantities sake, innit

Seriously though! if the likes of Daimler-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Rover, Sony, etc, etc, want to go bust for reasons of their own, I couldn't give a monkey's toss, and that's a fact

Strangely enough I learnt earlier today (first hand) (and also for the first time ever since I've been here in Berlin) that Lord Haw Haw (Joyce/William?) British Wartime traitor & Propaganda Meistro here in Berlin (a'la Runfunk) (later executed) for as well as his treason, was legally nabbed, in that he'd never given up his British Nationality daftly enough (I believe he had honourary German at the time as well?). The chap who ran me down on this, is a 'hobby historian' who'm I hope to meet again soon sometime, most intersting, and almost relevant in today's little world of double-standards and 'ideals' I feel, innit

Oooh and it makes me wonder?

I met a seriously interesting bloke last night, who'd lost all of his family in Nazi C-Camps, and he now; 'quite loudly too' is a proud and practicing 'Messianic Jew', ie, a Christian Jew, check it out, quite a story historically, which to be honest I'd never heard of, nor considered possible, amazing stuff, really, and the best bit is, it ain't made up, it's all true, and explains a lot to my tiny mind at least anyway, innit


P.S. He maintains that he's an anarchist too, so I didn't say no when he offered me a few beers (as you do)(he's a rich anarchist!); and I carefully avoided the subject of the ever growing popluarity of Islam across the world, in contrast to the ever decreasing attendances at Christian church services?


Must be them terrosits, innit:


The Latest in Terrorist-Unfriendly Currency

I didn't know that Benwell fireworks came from Benfleet?

I wonder if ants indulge in oral sex?

Gobshite Graham 55-55 should I think start a new exciting and dynamic thread questioning what Buffy Lichfield enjoyed as hifi equipment, and did he use digital lenses, whilst playing the beach boys & simulataneously wanking over ancient Rangers matches on wideo?

Did you know that over 4 million 'Brits' regularly drive their 'Motors' uninsured, and think nothing of it, perhaps we should infoam our resident Chief Constable who can't say too much at this stooge?



Who'll be first to get a no charge 28 days in nick jobby then? Animal rights activists, anti-hunters, a black bloke in a borrowed BMW?

Yankee cops 'tazered' a 6 year old kid recently for waving a busted bottle about, last year it was handcuffs 'if you care to forget', thank fuck British 'coppers remain unarmed on the whole, until they become, educated, qualified/properly trained-forces, that is, innit:

Is this negative?

Has Nime got Pork Pie poisoining, or has he been deported from Denmark to Salisbury?


"Only women bleed"

though Kiwi's kerb-crawlingly search for Yuppy coffee at early hours too I hear! Probably just Gossip though innit

I suppose what with the new introduction of medical staff in the UK who are neither Doctors or nurses, but who'll soon get waylaid into doing the jobs of both to make political figures look super dooper, and cause chaos & confusion amongst the public in the meantime, including saturday moanings too of course, and will also be beneficial when the 'historic' English drinking laws finally come into play, so that everybody will be so constantly pissed (on BOOZE & ASBO'S), they'll not think about silly old politics and all that stuff, that they don't give a monkeys about anyway, unless it affects their telly, and tesco services?


Nice rant that, most enyoyable.

Remember today is the 11th of the 11th, when people faught for your rights & freedoms to remain apathetic and stupid forever, and to blame everything that goes wrong or things that you dont like on everybody else cos you're English, just like God & Jesus, and you're either with us, or against us, innit

What's the German for "Paris is beautiful in the fall?"

Giving the above comments the benefit of the doubt in that he/she is having a larf & a jest, and has probably experienced working for a British firm/Military etc in Europe earning lots of dosh and having a great time for a few years, then returning to Blighty to tell all & sundrie how well they know the country etc, but Britain is naturally better of course, in reality know sod all, and still irrationally slag of the place they want to be in, bit like the whole world thinking it knows all about Bill Clintons sex life; where in reality it only knows about one highly publicised (but miniscule) incident of political indiscretion on his 'part', if you get me drift like?


So tommorow France will be fiercely battling against Germany in a so-called friendly football match, and England (No General Belgrano & dont cry for me puns please) will be having a matey kick about with Argentina, Captained for the 50th time by Beckers (who seriously needs to start focussing big-style as with the others towards next year) only equalled by the mighty Lord Bobby in the Sky, a man I know Beckham also quite rightly personally idolises, and will soon 'possibly, with all the Gods on his side, good wind, no wasps, and a bent German ref) be able to succeed in a similar manner, exactly 40 years after the first round, and this time in the Den of Cpl Carpet-Chewers 1000 year Reich.


Personally I think the Swedes are looking pretty tasty as outsiders to flutter a few bob upon, but you know me; I ain't sayin nuffin

Supremely Bitchy on your part Fredders me old Tosca if I may be so bold! Warmly known by many 'real' Cockneys as the London Bubble (Greek heritage), I personally think as well as being a rather good looking chap, extremely egoistic and gobshitey (like Moir), and also as well as being a pretty good song writer, and fantastic 'original' performer and singer to-boot, an honest down to earth geezer.


Fredders me old quince jelly maker, as an afterthought, I recall posting a line or two once (ignored as most are for the par) about my opinion regarding great musicians and orchestras etc, (No, not my intrusion into your wonderful monologues in that other place, that so many got quite hypocrytically hot under the collar about at the time), namely Nime & Gobshite Graham 55-55, to name but two, gallantly protecting your percieved over- sensitivity


My point being that an individual 'original & sincere' musical artist (Of whatever direction) is far purer than the greatest musician, singer, conductor, who simply reproduce somebody elses imagination & genius, a bit like what my newly found Christian Jewish anarchist friend said to me last night in that
he personally despises folk (in his own religion, which he takes very seriously by the way) who pray three times a day just for the sake of it, where as the God he knows and loves is well aware if and when he's being sincere or not, and can't be arsed going to mass or whatever, innit


Not forgetting Bryan Robson & Billy Wright either; naturally:

I've spent many a year in KSA having to put up with their way of life, so why shouldn't they do the same in europe?We should act the same way as the aussies, if you don't like the way we live in 'our' country, then fuck off back to where you came from.

And if that is too politically incorrect for you, then you can fuck off too.

Assuming you were there speaking their language, respecting their culture, and loving their women, rather than policing them, earning lots of dosh for a foreign company there, and only speaking English, and arrogantly expecting everybody else to do the same, save the few local words you'd learnt to get what you wanted 'Schnell' to fuck their women, then I'm surprised you're not still enjoying living there, or are you like so many out there, just a part time bullshitter who needs to come home to Mummy and prove what a hero you are to all and sundrie who'll listen to you down at the local watering hole, with 'No Poofters' naturally, innit Mate ?

Does anyone know how much it would cost to hire a pro/semi pro photographer? They need to be good quality as they are blown up to A3 size. Also is there a list somewhere of good ones in the London area.

Many Thanks

Gobshite Graham 55-55'll probably be able to put you in the picture John, he/she knows more than me even, amazingly enough!

It'll only be digital stuff though I'm afraid, so no imagination allowed unfortunately, and I'm not quite sure if he does lions or not either?


Mind you, I expect your local lodge could sort out something for you cheap & cheerful like too? though it might be a bit rough & ready, and scratchy on the sides, but if you're game squire, I'm sure there'll be no sweat my Son will there! & Bob'll be yer Uncle, wunnee

President Jimmy Carter admitted that he'd had 'lusting in his heart' after 'reading' a playboy magazine once, and good on him too for being straight (Honest I mean!), and I've always parsonally weighed up the odds between Our John's lustings after the gorgeous Mrs Emma Peel, and my very own need to take extremely cold showers and think of England occassionally when lusting in my heart over a very fit, short blonde haired, black-clad, ice-cold Purdy, but you know me, I ain't sayin nuffink more on the matter
