April 2018

Its parish election time, the papers are in... And the latest news is back for another term of office... OK still uncontested but back. So the grand plan for world domination continues.

But first need to beat the finance markets and make a fortune, so can afford world domination... Not cheap, just need all to invest my new company, The really weird wigit and other useless things. So just send me your bank details credit card details and pin number. Well it works for some....

On the plus side premium bonds this have won not once, not twice nor three times, not even four but 5 times, now thats a record, just need a few more zeros after the number.

Life is a curved ball, you really don't know what is coming next, but isn't that as is should be. Been dealt that curved ball this month, no great problem just the time in sorting it out.

The garden design continues version 3 at present, just need to sort the jacuzzi, drone landing pad and bar... Simples. Oh and don't forget the wet dry river bed that will flow through...

Tina Turner the Musical

Stars Adrienne Turner as Tina and you will not be short changed, from humble beginnings in Nutbush to transformation to rock Queen. The story of of a woman who survived all, abuse redical from the music industry, from stardom to nothing and back again. Love the way her voice becomes Tina, it really does, and by the close she is Tina with a mini concert. Takes the stage, takes the audience on journey many will remember, ending on a lets stand lets dance hand in the air musical end. Did i like it, oh YES go and see....

Warner leisure - Littlecote

And its the 2nd short break this time to Hampshire, Littlecote Hotel.

An old stately home from times gone by, The old house still exists and mostly in its original state, you are free to explore the old rooms, set up to show a little of bygone times. Oh and a haunted bedroom where things go bump in the night, spooky. Grounds too see plus a site of an old roman house which includes a very good example of an mosaic floor.

As for the entertainment it was very good.

Friday

A Knights and Dames tribute by the resident band and singers

Phil Lowen Comedian, who managed to get a laugh even from me.

Saturday

Sabatinno and Sutclffe. Two of Uk's finest sing the songs of Micheal Ball and Alfie Boe

Sunday

Kerry Ellis

The star of the 3 days, a bit more cabaret than musical. But no big band, no backing singers just Kerry, guitarist and keyboard. Just as it should be, some great songs, some well know, some not. Loved it...

For what its worth here are my thoughts on Syria and the recent chemical attacks.

Ok, the death and destruction out there is at best criminal its also un-necessary and downright evil, don't agree in any form with it. The use of chemical weapons is against all of todays world conventions, banned and if used should be dealt with accordingly.

Recently an suspected chemical attack took place in Douma, and whilst we are not the worlds police, those responsible should be held responsible and action taken against them using force if necessary.

So who do you believe, the US the UK, personally I listen and read reports from those on the ground those dealing with the sufferering. The White Helmets the Red Crescent and by speaking to those that have families out there. The casualties occurred immediately after an air raid, so you can draw your own opion on that.

In response 105 missiles from the US, Uk and France targeted 3 sites in what was a measured response in my view. No reports of casualties and targets destroyed.

Some say its all about asset stripping by the US but isn't that what Russia is doing, Crimea, the Ukraine, parts of, all have been by force. Plus lets not forget the 2 assasinations one successful one not at present, and the cyber attacks.

I respect others beliefs in life we all have to make our own judgement, just do your own research dont just believe what is written in the newspapers or on Tv. What do I believe? I find it difficult, lots of question which really I cannot answer, I can only read, listen and come to a conclusion. Plus I can agree to disagree, without going to war, just another a good debate over a pint.

I personally have contact with individuals that have families in Syria, they are here because of the Syrian regime would target them and probably result in at best imprisonment. The present regime seems happy to spend on war against its own people but will not provide food, there words not mine.

Thats it for this month, always another.
