Yesterday for me was a R UBBISH day. Thank you to all who keep going through their rubbish days.

DAY TWENTY-FOUR: Sunday 24th January 2021:

Yesterday was a rubbish day ! Geeks, failing people, self-centred people, wastes of space, the media and a lot more all combined to make my day complete and utter rubbish. Writing stories, spreading smiles, I was so fed up yesterday that I felt like giving up and becoming a hermit. GIVE UP.

My life is comfortable, I am not short of money, lock down is not giving me mental stress, if the truth be told I am having an easy life. Writing I enjoy, spreading smiles is fun but for both I could end what I am doing with a single click of the mouse.

DOCTORS ?   NURSES ?   TEACHERS ?  KEY WORKERS ?  SHOP WORKERS ? EMERGENCY SERVICES ? Could they turn of their stress and depression with the click of a mouse ? If they could, would they ? OF COURSE NOT.

Our too little too late government has consistently failed to protect our NHS. Yesterday the media spoke of a teacher who has passed away. Tomorrow will all staff who are STILL working in schools open for children of key workers click a mouse and stop at home ?

Yesterday another 33,532 new cases and another 1,348 deaths. The media is full of this new variant being far more deadly than that we faced twelve months ago. The media is full of the way vaccinations are being offered with twelve weeks before the first and second injection is not effective. DANGER but will doctors, nurses, teachers, key workers, emergency services and shop workers give up and stay at home. NO ! NO ! NO ! No clicking of the mouse.

Protect the NHS !  Sorry Boris Johnson from your mouth those are empty words. The NHS is overwhelmed IS IS IS !  But it will NEVER collapse, never collapse because of its amazing staff.

Today’s SMILE OF THE DAY: To all the people who are loving and kind to me. Thank you for the sunshine you bring into my life.

THANK YOU - DOCTORS -  NURSES  - TEACHERS - KEY WORKERS - SHOP WORKERS - EMERGENCY SERVICES THANK YOU for all the sunshine you bring into all of our lives every day.

Yesterday I wrote 3,334 words and finished my story BY THE PRICKING OF MY THUMBS. That brings the total words I have written since 1st January 2021 to 232,687. Another week and January will be over. In order to hit one million words across 2021 I have to write an average of 2,740 words, so far I have written an average of 10,116.

What was happening ON THIS DAY ?

24th January 1984 Apple Computer places the Macintosh personal computer on sale. When will somebody design a computer that works properly ?

As usual a great long list of people who were born on this day and I don’t recognise a single one of them !

24th January 1965 Winston Churchill who was born in 1874 died. I was only fourteen years of age but that day I wore a black tie. If only we had his leadership today.

I get the information for this feature each day from Wikipedia. Wikipedia, you know I always have issues trying to spell that name, was much featured on the news. A day never goes by without my using Wikipedia, it is a good source of information. It is not riddled with advertising, it does not steal personal data in order to target advertising. Listening to the news reports it was explained that this is a POSITIVE media resource while Facebook is negative. Look at the complete and utter rubbish people post there. Yesterday part of my frustration was down to people failing to share my SMILE OF THE DAY. Twitter ?  I don’t use Twitter, Twitter is for TWITS which is why all politicians use it.

So for me yesterday was a rubbish day ! Geeks, failing people, self-centred people, wastes of space, the media and a lot more all combined to make my day complete and utter rubbish. Writing stories, spreading smiles, I was so fed up yesterday that I felt like giving up and becoming a hermit. GIVE UP. I am not giving up. Every time I have a rubbish day and feel like giving up I will look at our DOCTORS -  NURSES  - TEACHERS - KEY WORKERS - SHOP WORKERS - EMERGENCY SERVICES who are never giving up. THANK YOU.

To all the people who are loving and kind to me. Thank you for the sunshine you bring into my life.

Catch you again tomorrow for a happy SMILING day.

Dave

MORE LEGENDS

THERE ARE MORE LEGENDS PER SQUARE MILE IN MILTON KEYNES THAN CAN BE FOUND IN ANY OTHER TOWN< CITY OR VILLAGE IN BRITAIN   ·        Signs and roundabouts – Someone once joked that Milton Keynes was a place of signs and wonders. There were signs pointing everywhere and everyone wondered where they were actually pointing to.   Built on a unique grid road system the H roads are those which run Horizontally across the city, broadly West to East. The V roads run North and South up and down the plan. The H roads are all WAYS – Portway while the V roads are Streets – Fulmer Street and so on. Where each V road intersected with an H road there was a roundabout, at one time with a smile it was said that there were three hundred and sixty-five roundabouts, one for each day of the year. I think, somehow, that is just a legend with the tiniest possible grain of truth. Approaching a roundabout the first set of signs told the driver the local/immediate d...

  DAY SIX:   Wednesday 6 th January 2021: On this scale how are you feeling right now about China Virus ? I’M OK WITH IT ALL – SCARED - FRIGHTENED – TERRIFIED – END OF THE WORLD IS COMING I am somewhere between scared and frightened. Did you see last night’s briefing ? Did you see how Prime Minister Boris Johnson waffled and burbled his way through the questions ? No need for a scale, simply do you trust the government to take us successfully through this china virus pandemic ?   The answer I am sure is a universal NO ! Would the likes of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have performed the way Boris Johnson is ? When they speak on TV I am usually happy and reassured by what the scientists say but last night I got the feeling they did not fully understand what they were saying and did not have complete confidence in themselves. I am seventy years old, still a teenager at heart but I no longer have the physical fitness I once had. If I need minor ...

Milton Keynes - WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK AND ROLL

WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK AND ROLL    So Starship claimed for San Francisco but take a moment and see just how much Milton Keynes is built on Rock and Roll – We BUILT THIS NEW CITY ON ROCK AND ROLL. Go to Los Angeles, to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and there you will find a star dedicated to a Milton Keynes giant of Rock and Roll ! Jim Marshall, The Lord of Loud was an Mkeyneyan who founded Marshall Amplification and told the world’s pop musicians to turn the volume up to eleven. All of Marshall’s world famous amplifiers do indeed have volume knobs rotating up to number eleven. Without Jim Marshall of Bletchley, Milton Keynes so many pop groups of international fame would not have achieved all they did. I met Jim Marshall a number of times, he was a generous man when it came to supporting music and schools. His attitude was: The answer is YES, how much do you need ? What do Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and Michael Jackson all have in common ?   They all played T...
