ONE OF THE GANG

A tribute to my good friend Rube and her cousin who assisted in the early days of the Blog by providing certain information before it even hit the local papers.

The message is as apt as they come!  Definitely a MOUTH ALMIGHTY!

POEM OF THE WEEK

    Remember, remember! 
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!
    Guy Fawkes and his companions
    Did the scheme contrive,
    To blow the King and Parliament
    All up alive.
    Threescore barrels, laid below,
    To prove old England's overthrow.
    But, by God's providence, him they catch,
    With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
    A stick and a stake 
    For King James's sake!
    If you won't give me one,
    I'll take two,
    The better for me,
    And the worse for you.
    A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
    A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
    A pint of beer to wash it down,
    And a jolly good fire to burn him.
    Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
    Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
    Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

BANGERS AND MASH

My good mate Dave has just reminded me that it is November the Fifth next week and Guido Fawkes and his crew will be pwowling around.   I, or should I say we, have not heard about any Blue touch paper yet.  If we do then , as per last year, we will go running off to our friendly Policemen and report it as a threat on our lives.  Mind you what sort of a Police force have we, when we see Officers from all ranks being prosecuted for sexual offences on children?   Does not give one any great feeling of confidence.
Maybe a few of them could do with a firwork up their jacksies.
Just hope that fireworks are banned from now on, I made my money out of them when I had a shop, but they are dangerous and nasty things.  One wonders how we can lock up the terror suspects when we happily provide the raw materials for them to make explosive devices!  Ban fireworks, me and the misses say.

I will be staying in until 1st November as I have already been accused of frightening children and adults for looking like a Halloween ghoul, and I don't even have a fancy dress on.  Made me realise just how very ugly I am.

Before I go, and a year having passed us by, I must apologise to Mr Windmill and his family for the trouble he had with the Constabulary due to the infamous "Blue touchpaper" comment on his Blog, when the actual author was me.   I am full of remorse as you may imagine, and the gang of four have thoroughly enjoyed watching the action over the past 12 months.  Just hope the local Force don't try to accuse us of wasting Police time, and will keep the very friendly relationship we have.

More fun to follow.
 Have a happy week.

VACATION TIME

Not much happening at the moment, on holiday in my favourite place in Florida.  Just been hearing about the new laws about trolling and harrassment on the Internet.  I will have to be a bit cleverer from now on and use a few software tools to cover my tracks.   See you all later.
Here are just a handful of my various aliases, watch out for others yet to come!

Aberconwy2015, NigelRoberts1, Seagritter, iolomorgano, CSILlandudno, John Spicer, and all the other names used by my mates and other posters.  Nobody is going to catch up with me.

Not the Mrs but a welcome distraction.

DAVID JONES MP

My old mate David Jones, erstwhile Member of Parliament for the Constiuancy of Clwyd West, does no seem to enjoy receiving email messages from folk as this standard reply would tend to indicate!   There was a time when MP's, Councillors and other Servants of the People were only to pleased to hear from individuals and would even take direct telephone calls to their homes!   Not any more though.   They all hide themselves behind the oberpaid staff of their Constiuancy office and are not really interested in direct exchanges with anyone.  

I have noticed that dear old Dave is being lambasted on another Blog, but if even half of what is written is true he deserves whatever he gets.  MP's should not be able to influence Police or the Judicial system, and certainly not have innocent citizens arrested for no reason whatsoever.  I realise now, that even I should not have partaken in the episode involving the joking comment about Guy Fawkes and the blue touch paper, that resulted in the total disruption to a well respected local family.   We all must have been crazy to think it was a threat on our lives.   November the fifth is just around the corner so maybe another jokey comment will appear and we will be able to get someone else arrested on a similar trumped up charge.

As many may be aware, despite the demise of other Blogs I have started, I will continue to do and say whatever I wish in the knowledge that the Police will not consider my comments offensive and will do nothing to stop me, or any of my fellow contributors such as David Jones.

According to an aquaintance this is the reply you will get from D J to any email.

Thank you for your e-mail, which will receive attention as soon as possible.

I receive a large number of e-mails that emanate from organisations such as 38 Degrees.  In order to save resources, I post a standardised reply to such campaigns on my website: www.davidjones.wales until the heading “Campaigns”.  If, therefore, yours is a campaign e-mail, please look there.  No further acknowledgment will be sent.

If you are writing about the “Give us the Internet we need” campaign, please let me have a copy of any substantive reply you receive.  If you have a specific problem with your own broadband connection, please let me have full details, including your full name, address, telephone number, BT account number and a description of the problem you are experiencing.  I will then pursue the issue with BT.
