I was awoken by the insistent ringing of the door bell at 8.30 this morning. I went to bed at 5am and wasn’t best pleased.
It was the window cleaner. I haven’t worked out this bloke’s schedule and neither has he. You never know when he will turn up.
I opened the door and asked if he could knock later next time.
He said,
“I didn’t know you were in bed”.
Your face being 15cms away from my DRAWN curtains didn’t give you a fucking clue then?
I hollered that in my head.
In reality, I thanked him, shut the door and questioned his paternity all the way to the kitchen.
My mood wasn’t improved when I saw the convoy of people carriers pull up and deposit screaming kids next door.
So began two hours of thudding and screaming, fucking great start to the day.
Adverts are warning us of the imminent arrival of Mother’s Day.
Interflora and 3 for 2’s on hand cream at Boots the Chemist.
Fresh faced ‘boy’ Tenor’s singing Barry Manilow hits or a selection of Show Tunes, ELO’s Greatest Hits and, without fail, Neil Diamond.
Must find out what happened to Demis Roussos.
My Nan loved him.
Huge, hirsute, Greek man in a kaftan.
Cannabis production in England has gone up from 11% in 1997, to 60%.
Really?
Police say 3 ‘factories’ a day are being raided. Vietnamese gangs control the lions share apparently.
Legalise it and tax it then! Put some ‘gangsters’ we know in charge of it.
Perhaps, instead of banging on about how strong the ‘skunk’ is, that it’s sending people psychotic, control it.
Stick the equivalent of ABV on it.
The Americans tried to ban booze, it didn’t work and provided a thriving business for gangs.
It is Human Nature to want to ‘get out of our heads’.
It’s been going on from the moment we realised we could!
Just give us who choose to use it, the fecking CHOICE.
In Wyoming, a Catholic, lesbian couple have been refused communion by their Priest.
They live an openly lesbian life, were married in Canada and are advocates for same sex marriage.
This is why they have been refused a Sacrament.
Brace yourselves for the right wing backlash.
Refusing gay Catholic’s communion will be used as a weapon.
I give it two weeks before it starts happening here.
This Government cannot get involved in that bit of church dogma, the way it did over the adoption issue.
This is a ‘Protestant Theocracy’ after all.
It’s not going to end well.

Ah Demis Roussos! Badly thinning hair, huge paunch and tatty kaftan. Why DID women go for him? And let us not forget Val Doonican, Nana thing (what WAS her surname?) and all those easy listening faves. Never really got into easy listening...and then there was that Geordie twat, the one that did Durham Town.
He always looked like a shady aidy to me...
Shady! Hahaha!
Was it Nana Maskouri or something?
If JC returned (Have it on good authority the Second Coming's been cancelled), at least one of his twelve would be gay ... whoever the church disapproves, he'd elect. Nothing surer.
It has happened here. An old RE teacher of mine saw a gay couple refused communion in a catholic church somewhere in north london. What makes it worse is there is no way of stopping it, ritual public humiliation.
The rainbow sash movement is trying to prevent it from happening by protesting and the like but it appears the church will not give way.
The surname always foxed my spelling abilities! And if you remember the name of the Geordie twat I'll buy you a curlie wurlie.
And all this refusal of the sacrament stuff reminds me why I refuse organised religion. All this discrimination has no basis in the New Testament in terms of its location in the testimony of Christ's life. And if Jesus was content to share the last supper and his communion with Judas, I would have thought being gay was more than acceptable. Or have I missed something?
Lenten.. as the old Jewish saying goes,
'If G-d lived on earth, people would smash his windows'!
Jinx.. Public Humiliation is exactly what it will be.
I would be too much to hope for a "I'm Spartacas" moment, like in the film 'In and Out. Where everyone stands and claims to be Gay!
Sassy.. More acceptable than betraying your G-d or being ginger?
(Judas is often portrayed as ginger in art!)
I think it is about 'control'. The Catholic Church has rules and laws about how heterosexuals 'Do It'.
There are no rules for us (other than don't do it) and they are just worried we are having more fun!
Sassy.. Wasn't the Durham Town 'twat', Roger Whittiker?
