“Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths. But I say unto you. Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool neither by Jerusalem for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
Matthew 5:34-37
… and you will have no need to justify yourself, to make an oath, to swear to God. If you are always truthful, when you say yes, you mean yes, when you say no, you mean no, then you will be trusted.
It’s been another boring weekend here. I managed to swap my on call shifts so that I can go out for my birthday. So whilst waiting for the phone to ring I’ve been watching lots of comedy shows and tv series. Well it was that, sleeping or reading, and I’ve read all my books.
I’ve just finished Season 1 and 4 of Blackadder. I’ve got to say that I still think Blackadder Goes Forth is the best season, but that’s because I still find the last episode quite moving, ever since I first saw it at secondary school. Thinking about it nowadays, it’s a bit strange we spent the last few weeks before our GCSE’s watching a comedy series. Still, Private Baldricks poem helped me with my History and English exams and got me a B in both!
Well I’ve just watched another episode of the BBC’s Man Stroke Woman. It’s another short comedy sketch show like ITV’s Comedy Cuts and another that really makes me laugh.
Although, I think it’s slightly worrying that this scene made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes!
There are many things in life that I have learnt,
like respect cannot be brought, it must be earned.
I learned that talk is cheap,
I look before before I leap
and I sniff the milk to see if it has turned.
But there’s one thing that remains a mystery
and it seems that I am just to blind to see.
You know, they say one guy in ten,
prefers the company of men.
But why do people think that one is me?
Why do people think I’m gay?
Is it something that I say?
Am I camp or slightly fay?
Is it my love of Doris Day?
Why do people think I’m gay?
Not that that isn’t OK,
but let me ask you if I may,
why do people think I’m gay?
Don’t get me wrong,
it’s cool this world takes different strokes.
But personally, I just don’t fancy blokes.
You know theres no enjoyment finer,
than to play with a …. ladies special place.
At least that’s what I often tell my folks.
Why do people think I’m gay?
Is it the way I sashay?
Each time I hear YMCA,
with my nipples on display.
Ok, I’m sensitive, polite and neatly dressed.
( neatly dressed )
And yes, I own a fitted lycra vest.
( it’s just for jogging )
So I moisturise my face
and I’m a fan of Will and Grace
and I wish my girlfriend had a hairy chest.
( he wished his girlfriend had a hairy chest )
Why do people think I’m gay?
Has my labido gone astray?
I blame it on my Uncle Ray
and that thing with the bidet.
How do people know I’m gay?
Have they met my friend my Jose?
And now I have to find a way,
to tell my Fiance!
I just watched ITV’s Comedy Cuts and that song made me chuckle. You really need to have a listen to appreciate it though.
It’s written and performed by Pete Gold and you can listen to it and more of his songs on his MySpace page.
By the amount of times that I’ve been told to update my blog recently, it shows me that you are all either really interested in my life and what I have to say, or you are all really bored!
I received a lovely email from Mr Tony Blair (PM) the other day in regards to the planned road pricing scheme. In it he says that…
“I know many people’s biggest worry about road pricing is that it will be a ’stealth tax’ on motorists. It won’t. Road pricing is about tackling congestion.”
Alright, that’s fair enough but the amount that commuters would have to pay is huge compared to what it is at the moment. Presently I drive about 40 miles a day to get from my house to work in Bristol. This costs me approximately £35 pounds a week now that I have bought a car with better fuel economy that my last, which previously was around £60 a week.
The mentioned amount per mile for the ‘pay as you go’ tax is £1.43 during peak hours. As little as 2p per mile if you travel off peak but that’s not much help if you have to travel during peak times. So that means that it will cost me £57.20 per day to travel to and from work. £286 per week. So add that to fuel costs ( which I can’t see going down in price by then ) is £321 for fuel per week or £1284 a month. Right.
At present, house prices are rising so much that first time buyers can’t afford to buy on their own. Housing prices in the cities are too expensive, so more and more young adults are forced to live at home and commute to work. I can see the future is going to be a great one for ‘our’ country.
But it’s not all bad news, our glorious leader would like to save us some money. He would like the prices of Premier League football tickets to be lowered!
“Anyone who watches the Premiership can just notice, in the past year or couple of years, the rows of empty seats…. It’s something I do not recall seeing in the same way four or five years back..” Blair said on Tuesday at his monthly news conference.
Maybe it’s due to the increased cost on living put upon us by your government in the last four or five years? The increased cost in travel, fuel, household bills, taxes and fines?
No, of course not. We as a nation have just gone off football and we’re waiting for “the greatest sporting event on Earth in 2012″. Once the road pricing scheme comes in place in 2010 that will give you 2 years to put all that extra cash into paying off the expected £10 billion cost for the Olympic Games!
This blog is about me:
My thoughts on life... on my whims... my fears... my strengths... my growth.
About people around me, my friends, family and loved ones.
Above all, its a place for me to share my feelings and reminisce on the past.
Hopefully you'll discover a little more about me and find that we have some things in common.
