Thanks for email Chas. Just for your friends to know, my 1st book was "Every Day's a Monday". and my 2nd one was "The Tuesday Empire". The first one was based on my own experiences in prison in the Middle East, and the second was based on some Timeshare characters that I know, and the dodgy deeds that one or two told me they got up to. They are both available from 'Bookworld' here in Spain. On Amazon, Kindle, and all good book stores.(The books that is, not the dodgy deeds).
Obama or Romney? We'll know in a couple of days. America, land of democracy? Where anyone can become President? Well yes, provided you're a multi-millionaire, or have millionaire backers. They will, of course, want something back in return if you get elected......Republicans will want you to cut taxes and to shelve Medicare, especially those that have shares in Insurance companies, or who don't want a couple of cents on their taxes, and that would leave 50 million Americans without the benefit of medical assistance when they need it most. I often wonder if those Republican Americans go to church on sundays declaring themselves 'Christians', and believing it. Their policy is the policy of either being born into wealth, or climbing up the ladder and making yourself wealthy and then pulling the ladder up behind you and calling unfortunate unemployed, and sick Americans lazy and shiftless. If Jesus comes back to Earth look out Republicans, he may want to chat with you. Perhaps he'll give them tips on how to put fires out, because in the great scheme of christian belief Republican politicians may get very warm in the next life. Funny but I used to think of Maggie Thatcher in the same kind of mix, a bit like Florence Nightingale, the lady with the lamp, except with Maggie it was a blowlamp !
Someone asked me the other day what I thought of the House of Lords, I said I thought that it provided excellent evidence of life after death.
I have to replace all four tyres on my car soon. The saleman who sold it to me said I'd get a lot of pleasure out of it. He was right, it's a pleasure getting out of it....
Apparently I suffer from kleptomania, when it gets really bad I take something for it.
On sunday morning my wife asked me to make love to her in the kitchen. I asked her why, and she replied that the egg timer was broken and she wanted a soft boiled egg......
Recently I had to assure some Spanish friends that the London Underground is not a terrorist organisation.
And finally, always remember that with regards to public toilets, incoming traffic ALWAYs has right of way !
