SOMETHING TO PONDER

From The Girl Who Came Back , by Kerry Wilkinson: "What sort of person wants their own daughter to give away a grandchild? How is that a thing? It's easy to abdicate responsibility by saying it's a generational thing, that isn't an excuse, not when other...

OH, REALLY?

I read somewhere that when you're craving sweets or chocolate it's probably because you're thirsty and you should drink some water...what a load of c***!

DIRTY WORD

Why is it that whenever TDC hears the word "Private" they react as if you'd sworn at them? For the second time I have had to ask them to intervene regarding nuisance; firstly noise nuisance perpetrated by our upstairs neighbour, and now rubbish dumping...

HOW MUCH!

How much do you think a 60 year old female who has worked hard all her life is worth at the end of her useful working life? £58.60, that's how much.

PERFECT PARENTS?

Why is it that there are some people we just love to hate? Coming back on the Seacat from Cherbourg on Monday, golfer and I had the (very dubious) pleasure of sitting next to the perfect textbook parents. Her: scruffy and unkept in a t-shirt and track...

TRULY SHOCKING

On Thursday, I went to see Martin in the care home where he's been put for 'respite care'. It's a private home as there was no room at the inn in the NHS homes and it's clean and well run, he has a room of his own and is being cared for...but, it's a...

FILIALE LOVE

If you don't feel your father has been a very good parent, is it still reasonable to wash your hands of him when he's desperately ill? Some would say you reap what you sow, but there are always two sides to any story and any child of a broken marriage...

MONEY TALKS

No, actually, money screams! The matriarch has had her last three eye appointments cancelled and replaced with one in April, which would have made her more than a year overdue for her AMD check-up...in the meantime, her good eye has been getting progressively...

THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND

I wrote on Sunday about females in the eighteenth century resorting to any means at their disposition to alleviate the harshness of their existance...you know what? nothing has changed. Today, as then, it seems that women cannot afford integrity if they...

WHAT IS IT WITH MEN?

For the past two months, I've been chatting on MSN on an almost daily basis with a sailor in the Merchant Navy who's away at sea for a long stint at the moment. Everything was fine, then one evening about two weeks ago he signed off with Good night, sleep...

TREAT 'EM MEAN, KEEP 'EM KEEN

It's a sad reality that the more loving and compliant you are, the more you get taken for granted, that old adage, Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen, really is true...as long as you keep the right measure! What do you think? Is it right that we have to be...

VIRTUAL INSANITY

Why is it that the well established rules of social interaction that apply in the real world are nul and void in the virtual world? How would it work if internet etiquette were to be applied to day to day life: You'd walk into the office with a breezy,...

FRIEND OR FOE?

Oh enemy, oh enemy, I walk the streets pondering thee, scheming, planning, hoping for your demise. Oh enemy, oh enemy, I beg for a tomorrow without you, for further days with naught but companions, supporters. Oh enemy, oh enemy, I wish not for your death...
