about the "naked rambler" Stephen Gough.
I never heard of this guy till now.
he walked the length of Great Britain naked. But when he tried to walk it again he was arrested. Already having a string of charges for breach of the peace and offences related to public nudity.He served 10 years mostly in segregation for refusing to wear clothes. All at great to the tax payer I'm sure. He does all this as he believes it is an act of liberation and freedom.

If you agree or disagree with him. Stephen Gough's name will go down in history. He seems to me deserving of respect for simply standing by his integrity.

He has my respect and admiration. Simply for being himselfand doing all he has done to this day.


Here's to you Stephen Gough.

My dog was extremely emphatic about it. She'd rather have cold feet. Rather even grit in her paws.



It's the eve of Christmas Eve and four, count 'em, FOUR days before I have to go back to work, whoop whoop WHOOP

So yup, merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, and oh man that sucks if you aren't getting any days off at all will try not to be too obnoxious in that conga line weaving round CS (step step step kick)







apparently that vid isn't coming through for some. Funny dogs in boots.
Cruel really. All that laughing.

I want to be coining it, rolling in filthy lucre, getting more bang out of every buck, turning a pretty penny, minting it, saving for a rainy day, making moolah, sitting pretty.

Considered the conventional way - working 40 hours a week for 40 years to retire on 40 percent of my income. Hmm.

One guy I knew back in the horse days has a funny old factory making lightweight wooden crates for shipping fruit and vegetables. He has a sideline selling by-product - shavings - to the pet industry - hamster bedding, mainly. Millions. He works hard, mind.

I like bizarre ideas. I looked up a few that made millions
1. ashleymadison.com - a website for married people to have affairs
2. Pooperscooper.com - scooping up dog poo.
3. Superjam - a teenager selling his gran’s jam from a Scottish kitchen
4. Specs for dogs
5. Plastic wishbones, so everyone gets a wish at Christmas
6. Wuvit - microwaveable pillows
7. Selling pixels on a webpage
8. The guy who created a company that provides excuse letters to miss work
9. Lasermonks.com - the monks selling refilled printer cartridges
10. WhateverLife - a teenage drop-out selling MySpace layouts

I repeat - these all made millions.

So I need an idea which is simple, unique, feasible, do-able, will catch public fancy, and let me sit back after I scoop in enough to keep me comfortable for the foreseeable.

Got one for me?

"In former president Donald Trump's third criminal indictment - the one recently issued by a District of Columbia grand jury for Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election - he's charged with a conspiracy to deprive the American voters of their voting rights. Accordingly, the American people are the victims of that particular crime.

The federal law - specifically, the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 US Code section 3771 - provides that crime victims have a right "not to be excluded" from the trial. If the trial is not televised, the victims of Trump's crimes WILL BE EXCLUDED FREOM THE TRIAL in violation of federal law."

I think there will be consequences of the trial being televised, or not being televised.

How can you appreciate the opposite sex if you have had sex with countless numerous people?

Sex loses its meaning?
Marriages will not last?
Does it lead to more extreme things?
What then has meaning?

My new car gives me anticipation to get in and drive it...but after 5 years, I don't have that same anticipation.

It seems like every time I either am taking a leak, taking (or leaving) a crap, or in the shower or tub....the phone rings. Otherwise, the phone never rings.

Last time I commented on something I found original, interesting, and a little controversial, I found myself adding a disclaimer to fend off the nasty comments I might (MIGHT) get in response. Uh no. Deleted my disclaimer. IF someone wants to take issue, and IF I happen to notice them taking issue, time enough to react.

When did we let those ghastly old muppets Statler and Waldorf take over and ruin the fun? Back to the balcony with all hecklers! Bring back friendly chat please please bring back banter!




My new year resolution (took a while, I know) - I will try, on all social media, to just comment. No disclaimers. No explaining. No preaching. No apologising. No heckling.

Ïn effect, "I found this interesting, I'm reacting because I'm glad you posted it" .

The average new year resolution lasts what, 3 days? Oh well. This one starts right after this disclaiming explaining preaching apologetic (but at least non-shouty) blog. My next blog will, I hope, be interesting enough to provoke chat and banter. Just preparing the ground here.

(Heckling has so become the norm anyone who wants to practice normal comments feel free to add a completely random comment at any point.)

Sometimes I include a family size fruit pie in my weekly shopping. It could be cherry or rhubarb, but is more usually apple. I do my shopping at the weekend, and will typically have a piece of the pie mid morning on the following day, with a cup of coffee. I then cut the pie into segments and put it into the freezer. It normally lasts me for the following two weekends. I am single and live alone, so my customs and habits are of little consequence to anyone other than myself, but it has occurred to me that I would find this pie carry on very irritating if practised by someone I had to live with, so I must assume that anyone who had to live with me would also find it trying. In all conscience, were I ever to find myself becoming romantically entangled with someone, I would feel morally bound to declare my pie situation before things became too serious. There are also other matters that I would feel obliged to be up front about.

Do you still get that way...even as an adult? You know something is very exciting coming up in the near future and you cannot sleep. I just discovered something tonight and the event is taking place on Sunday. I cannot wait....a major investment opportunity.

I love my job, it is literally like a treasure hunt and the lump of gold is in my sights.

what were you doing?

Has your life changed in small ways, huge ways, or not at all?

In 3 years you can get pregnant, have a baby, and have a toddler trying to get your attention right now. In some ways, quite a long time. In some ways, a blink of the eye.

I picked 3 years because it's coming up to when I first joined CS. That started a series of changes which could continue for years.

There was a revolutionary year before that but the 10 years before - well, I can't actually remember a single thing of interest that happened in the whole 10 years, apart from crashing one car and buying another.

You?
