Poverty...Don't make me laugh !!!

DON'T tell me you're poor and have nothing...Just take a look at these pictures of real poverty...
That is the reality of poverty above. Here in the uk, even if we're unfortunate to fall on hard times there is a safety net to keep us off the streets begging..there is a system in place to secure a roof over your head and to provide money to keep you from starving or freezing to death.

I get sick and tired of all these people moaning and twisting on about how the economy in the uk is pushing us further into poverty..ITS TOTAL AND UTTER BOLLOCKS..Yes times are hard and cloth is cut to sustain a decent standard of living BUT we're a long way away from the above..

JUST REMEMBER HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO LIVE IN THE UK AND APPRECIATE IT ALL INSTEAD OF FUCKING MOANING AND BLAMING IMMIGRANTS OR THE GOVERNMENT..

IF YOU'RE ONE OF THESE MOANERS..TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS...THEN TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT YOURSELF.

A Birthday Blog From Me To You...

WELL here i am again another year older, i realy am a lucky lucky fella, i've had so many scrapes with death i even surprise myself some days and often pinch myself just to make sure its not all another one of those crazy dreams i have.

WHY a blog on my birthday ? actually i just felt like doing a bit of writing in the small hours, nothing unusual for me realy, i should be tucked up in bed with the mrs realy, but thanks to me dozing off yet again after dinner last night i'm now awake and just merrily typing away in the peace and quiet with a cuppa tea.

WHAT to put in my birthday blog ? well i suppose i'd better once again thank my wonderful parents for putting me on this earth and doing their very best to give me a good start in life..those lessons i've come to appreciate as i've grown older are the same ones i'm now passing down to my daughter.

LESSONS are what makes life fun, some lessons may not seem like fun at the time, but they do contain a message to learn from and use to either better your life or pass on to others to learn from..i wish i had a pound for every lesson i've had to learn, every apology i've had to hand out and every hand-shake i've received as a mark of respect...NO seriously i've learned some of the best lessons in the past two or three weeks, i wont go into detail, i wont slander or tear people apart verbally, i'll just quietly get on with living my life, enjoying the day to day run of the mill things while making sure the most important people in my life are ok.

HERE'S to the future, the next minute, the next hour, the next waking morning...one day there will be no future for me, i'm not daft, i know i'm living on a tight-rope and one slip is likely to be fatal..it could be that this is my last ever birthday...i realy don't know. one thing i do know is this, if it is my last birthday on earth, i've left my mark, i've done far more good than bad, and i know i'll live on in the memory of some very good people who have taught me lessons, helped me when i've needed it, and been there, as i have for them in their hour of need.
