DAY SIXTY-THREE: Thursday 4^th  March 2021:

There really are some sad people in this world.

Yesterday I received an envelope demanding in law that I complete my household’s 2021 census form. If I fail to complete the census I could be fined up to £1,000 ! I have to complete the census on-line. OK I can do that but what about those who can not, who do not have access to the internet ?  People who probably do not matter across most times but who have to be included in this census ?

Well they can request a paper copy. It would probably be easier to hold the tail of the cow and jump over the moon than to lay your hands on a paper copy . The phone number is permanently engaged ! The government’s idea of customer service !  I opened the website to be met with the demand I accept cookies. Accepting cookies means any data I enter will not be safe. Perhaps the government will sell my details to Google and Facebook in order to target advertising to me.

Hey guess what ! If you do not have access to the internet and require a paper copy you can request a paper copy on-line. DOH !

Fine me one thousand pounds if you like but if you do not provide me a paper copy you can shove your census right up you USB port !

A poem from yesterday:

 

The Devil’s Ap

 

The Devil uses Facebook,

we all know that.

Social media steals the heart of man.

The smart phone is the curse of our age.

It destroys all natural communication

and imposes its satanic will on all who touch its screen.

Facebook ? Instagram, ? We chat ? Tumbler ?

What’s next and what is an ap ?

The Devil uses Facebook but he’s not keen on Twitter.

Only a Twit uses Twitter.

Ask Donald Trump !

 

Yesterday the government failed to publish china virus figures !  This morning I learn that there were six thousand, three hundred and eighty-five new cases and three hundred and fifteen deaths. Locally there have been sixteen new cases and three more deaths.  In total there have been one hundred and twenty-three thousand, seven hundred and eighty-three deaths. REAL PEOPLE.

Toady’s SMILE:  Stop feeling ashamed of how many times you have fallen, and start being proud of how many times you’ve got up !

I am going to put the sad census paperwork I received in the post yesterday into my time capsule, have a look at it all you friends opening it is 2021.

This was part of my writing yesterday within THIS HOUSE BELIEVES:

THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT SMART PHONES SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL.

The worst invention in modern times is the Smart Phone !

SMART ? A smart phone is a compensatory aid. If you break your leg you can use a crutch to help you walk. If your hearing fails you can use a hearing aid ?  If you have less than twenty/twenty vision a pair of spectacles will compensate and help you to see better.

If you are thick and stupid, unintelligent and ignorant a smart phone will compensate and give you a phoney personality.

When the  mobile phone was invented it offered convenience and an element of security – well done !  Then when it became possible to send a text message that also was good. Then we had things like a clock and an alarm clock incorporated, a camera…. Salami tactics slowly pulling users into an addiction which is greater than that of a Class A drug !

The smart phone has taken people out of the real world and placed them into a phony, limited existence. Every day you can see people walking along the streets, in shops, everywhere absorbed in their stupid smart phones oblivious to the world around them.

The devil uses facebook ?  Does he ?  Does the devil exist ?  If he does then he most certainly does use this and all forms of social media into which he curses the souls of every smart phone user.

A question to all smart phone users. Which would be your greater loss, the loss of your smart phone or the loss of a family member ? How many people would need time to think before being able to answer ?

A smart phone is a compensatory aid. If you break your leg you can use a crutch to help you walk. If your hearing fails you can use a hearing aid ?  If you have less than twenty/twenty vision a pair of spectacles will compensate and help you to see better.

This house believes the smart phone should be made illegal.

And your opinion is ?

There are those who warn China will hack into your personal data via you zombie phone. Russia some will say is a danger but the real threat comes from America – the United States of America. Enter a website, click to accept cookies and within seconds the wretched Microsoft, Google and facebook will immediately start targeting you with adverts based on the website you opened !

Within today’s writing this will be a topic for debate. THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT MICROSOFT AND GOOGLE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR BREACHES OF PERSONAL PRIVAC

Another poem from yesterday:

 

ARMAGEDDON

 

The end of the world is coming,

Armageddon will be the new dawn.

Mankind has destroyed our planet,

there is no turning back.

Green will turn to black

We’re on the eve of destruction.

Time to take a rocket ship to mars

then we can destroy that world as well.

I wrote a total of 3,219 words yesterday bringing my 2021 challenge to 447,405. Let’s see what today brings.

So ON THIS DAY:

4^th March 1966: In an interview John Lennon said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ. WELL THEY WERE.

4^th March 1980: Robert Mugabe wins a sweeping election victory to become Zimbabwe’s first black prime minister.

4^th March 1986: Vega One begins returning images of Halley’s Comet and the first images of its nucleus.

4^th March 2001: A car bomb explodes in front of the BBC Television Centre in London seriously injuring one person. The attack was attributed to the Real IRA.

Stop feeling ashamed of how many times you have fallen, and start being proud of how many times you’ve got up !

Have a great day.

Speak again tomorrow
