an example if one is needed, of what this country faces lots more of come Jan 1

Don’t know why photo has blocked face but no matter.
Just thought I would post this further example of what Britain is damn sure going to face in the multiple thousands come Jan.1

Wish cops here could simply haul off and kick his nuts in.  See how much he feels like joking and dancing after arrest then. But no. As usual, the vermin always know their rights.

Is justice Arrest such a joke? Shocking video shows Romanian thief laughing and DANCING after being arrested

The unidentified man is seen playing around even though he is handcuffed
His friends play loud music as officers wait for a car and the man dances
Online commenters in Romania say the man’s actions shame the country

By Sam Webb

A Romanian man was filmed laughing and dancing after he was arrested by officers in London, who were waiting for a car to take him to the police station.

The video has caused heated debate in Romania where the country is trying to insist that Romanians who come to the UK will behave themselves and not simply going there to steal.

But the young man in the video who was not named by Romanian media was said to have been stopped this week in London and was being held in handcuffs after being caught stealing.

Standing in front of his friends they put loud Romanian Manela music on their car stereo prompting the young man to make several jokes in Romanian and start to dance some steps to the popular tunes.

The others are heard laughing and joking off-camera with the young man making several pelvic thrusts indicating that he is not in the least bit worried.

At one point he rests his shoulder on the police officer as if he’s sleeping even though he clearly isn’t drunk or inebriated in any way. For him the whole situation is just a joke.

User comments posted in Romania ask whether the man’s parents are proud of his actions that have shamed the country.

The video ends when the man is taken by police to a car and driven away to the police station.

In October it was reported that Policemen from Romania and Poland are being drafted in to help British forces combat an Eastern European crimewave.

Scotland Yard has recruited the officers, who have flown to the capital for a two-year ‘tour of duty’ to help identify and deport overseas offenders.

The move comes ahead of the lifting of border controls on immigrants from Romania in two months’ time.

Feels Less Than Honest

[May 14, 2013] Last week, a 40-ton spire was hauled up to the tippy-top of the new World Trade Center, making it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere (well, maybe). Aside from raising the WTC to the symbolic height of 1,776 feet, the spire will broadcast TV and radio signals.  [link which includes dizzying video looking down from that height.]

[today, November 12, 2013] New World Trade Center recognized as tallest building in US

An expert committee of architects has announced that New York’s new World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States at 1,776 feet.

The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announced its decision Tuesday morning in Chicago.

The committee is recognized as the final arbiter of building heights around the world. It had been weighing whether a design change meant the needle atop 1 World Trade Center is part of the actual building or merely the equivalent of a broadcast antenna.

The committee announced Tuesday that the needle was a spire, and therefore, a part of the actual building. Twenty-five members of the group met in Chicago on Nov. 8 to debate the height of the building.

The tower built on the site of the 9/11 attacks is a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall with the 408-foot needle. It would be 1,368 feet tall without it, shorter than the 1,450-foot Willis Tower in Chicago.

Pretty neat I guess, and of course the committee decided things this way. And it does kind of look like there are several little platforms around it with railings, although I doubt anyone in the public would be allowed up there. Besides, the energy from all the radio and TV signals would probably fry you. But if you can stand in it, or on it, then it’s not just an aerial, right?

Without the spire though, the new tower is exactly as tall as the old 1 WTC. The old one had 110 floors, with the top floor at 1347 feet elevation. The new one has 104 floors, with the top floor at 1,268 feet elevation. So the people-usable part of the new one is a bit lower, though somehow the roofs are at the same height. The last 100 feet at the top hide the HVAC and water systems, and the top of the open screening around them counts as the official “roof” *. I would have liked to see a new WTC that was solid building to 1776 feet, and then just under 225 feet of antenna on top for a symbolic 2001 feet 9.11 inches total height.

… a beacon at the pinnacle of the spire, 1,776 feet high, will be switched on and the 288,000 lumens of light emitted from it will be visible from 50 miles away, serving as a new visual marker for millions looking east from New Jersey, officials say.

According to the map, I ought to be able to see that beacon from here by looking to the ENE. I’ll have to try that, or perhaps find some higher open ground somewhere in the county.

ObamaCare GFY

Bill Clinton, in an unusually blunt critique of the sitting commander-in-chief, said President Obama should live up to his promise to Americans that if they like their health plans, they can keep them.

The former president weighed in on the roiling controversy about health plan cancellations during an interview with the site Ozy.com. The current president recently apologized to the public for the millions of cancellation notices that are going out—despite him assuring Americans that, under ObamaCare, they could keep their coverage if they want.

For Clinton, the apology doesn’t cut it.

“So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got,” Clinton said.

Clinton’s comments could cause problems for Obama, who has resisted any major changes to the law. Obama, in explaining the cancellation notices, has clarified that under ObamaCare, policies could be canceled if they had been altered in any way since the passage of the law.

That nuance was not included in the president’s initial explanations.

Faux Snooze (as the left loves to say) leaves out the real nuance: the vast majority of canceled policies did not have all of the detailed coverage that O-care now demands. Thus they HAD to be enhanced, and that’s an alteration. So of course the EVIL insurance companies dropped those policies. It’s bloody gold mine for them (until they get run out of business by single payer {aka government owned insurance}) - they can add a newly required doodad or two to your policy, then charge you two to ten times as much. So yeah, all the minimal policies are going the way of the dodo, especially as these go most often to the young, who are both healthy and earning less. And thus the insurance boys hope that their new policies will be significantly subsidized.

They’re all rat bastards. Both presidents, the insurance companies, and the lazy reporters at “Faux”.

The administration argues that while some are losing their current coverage, those plans will be replaced by better-quality insurance. The flip side is that they could be more expensive.

Ok, I’m wrong about Fox. But this statement from the administration is flat out nasty. And untrue: almost everyone is finding out those new policies cost a lot more, either up front (higher premiums) or in back (much higher deductibles before actual payments kick in). Nuance my ass, this is total douche-arama.

a real woman ….

Gee. A real woman with all the normal kind of flaws. Flaws? I don’t see em that way. Oh right. No red hair but she looks so nice I’ll forgive her that.

A bit of a bulge, a bit heavy but only a bit, and a smattering of gray in her hair. But oh you kid.

OK, there’s another reason for this beside that I like her.  Read her story at the link.  Death defying?  You bet. Literally.

Women seeing this will have a greater appreciation for what she has gone through and how the surgery left her.

Gutsy lady.  And still (for me anyway) eye candy as well.

I was carrying around a cyst the size of a bowling ball: Mother overcomes agonising condition to reach final of curvy modelling contest

Elisha Perez from Greenwich in Connecticut had Adenomyosis
Had abdominal hysterectomy (removal of uterus & ovaries) to combat pain
Now finalist for fuller-figure lingerie brand’s ‘Star in a Bra’ competition

By Deni Kirkova

A mother-of-one with a cyst the size of a bowling ball on her uterus has overcome the debilitating condition to reach the finals of a curvy modelling contest.

Elisha Perez, 37, from Greenwich in Connecticut, USA, was misdiagnosed by doctors who thought she was suffering from IBS.

Over 15 years her condition continued to worsen, leaving her writhing in pain for hours at a time.

She found it hard to walk, could hardly eat and had to struggle throughout the day and night to sleep and was eventually diagnosed with Adenomyosis - for which there is no known cure.

After multiple consultations she decided to go ahead with an abdominal hysterectomy - the removal of her uterus and ovaries - to restrict the pain.

a pestilence that needs to be Eradicated.

Dear Readers,

It was my original intention to focus on this story.

‘In January, the only thing left will be the goat’: Romanian father-of-seven’s boast as mayor says half the population of his villages are on their way to Britain for the higher salaries and generous benefits

Remus Neda, 37, is heading for the UK to take advantage of state handouts
He makes most of his money by begging on the streets of Paris
People in the villages of Berini and Uliuc live in abject poverty
Are forced to sleep in cramped clay huts surrounded 20 of their relatives
Mayor Koller Gabriel-Adrian claimed villagers were leaving ‘because they do not have anything here’

By Louise Eccles

JUST THE GOAT WILL BE LEFT

However, something somewhat related came up of even more interest and a good example too, in comments made by a former high govt. official here.  A man who belongs to the left wing Labour Party.
He still doesn’t have all of it but .... he isn’t too far off the mark and it just surprised me to read this from liberal.

Something you need to know first.  The fellow I am referring to is ...

TOTALLY BLIND.

For real, not in a snide way meant, or political.  The poor guy is actually blind. But far from dumb.  While I haven’t agreed with his views on many things hearing him on radio or reading him at times, I never thought the guy was stupid or a loony tune.  LyndonB here at bmews would have a much better take on him than I do, so I’m hoping L. will be reading this and comment.

Anyway .....  if Mr. Blunkett feels this as a blind man, I wonder what he would say if he had sight.
The culture he speaks of that he asks them to change, can not happen in the lifetime of anyone reading this now.  If ever.
These are NOT people in the way we normally think of that word.  Not even close.
They are .....  A PESTILENCE

And that is not a mere figure of speech to be shrugged off.

Mr. Blunkett sir, you have the floor. 

Influx of Roma migrants could spark city riots, warns David Blunkett

Mr Blunkett called on Roma migrants from Slovakia to ‘change their culture’ because their dumping of rubbish and refusal to send their children to school had caused ‘understandable tensions’

By Tim Shipman

British cities could be hit by rioting because of an influx of Roma migrants, David Blunkett has warned.

The former Home Secretary said ‘frictions’ with local people could lead racial tensions to ‘explode’ in a repeat of the riots that rocked Northern towns in the summer of 2001.

Mr Blunkett called on Roma migrants from Slovakia to ‘change their culture’ because their dumping of rubbish and refusal to send their children to school had caused ‘understandable tensions’ with residents in his home city of Sheffield.

Sheffield citizens have already set up street patrols to combat anti-social behaviour by the Roma. Britain is home to more than 200,000 Roma migrants, most of them from Eastern Europe.

‘If everything exploded, if things went wrong, the community would obviously be devastated,’ Mr Blunkett said.

‘We saw this is Bradford, Burnley and Oldham all those years ago when I first became Home Secretary. If things implode it’s not outside here that cops it, it’s the community.’

On that occasion more than 200 people were jailed after racial tensions erupted and Asian communities clashed with far-Right groups such as the National Front.

Mr Blunkett claimed that the cultural gulf between the community in Sheffield and the Roma was far greater than that between white Britons and Pakistani immigrants.

He said: ‘The Roma youngsters have come from a background even more different culturally, because they were living in the edge of woods, not going to school, not used to the norms of everyday life. We’ve got to change that.’

Mr Blunkett said locals were entitled to ‘grumble’ about the large influx of migrants from Roma communities, but they should not ‘stir up hate’. ‘I wouldn’t want other people to put up with things I wouldn’t put up with myself,’ he said. ‘This is nothing to do with criticising people about being racist. By all means grumble, but don’t stir up hate. If you set a fire alight, you came from Bradford, you saw it – nobody gained from that.’

Mr Blunkett said the ‘understandable tensions’ between locals and Roma were evidence of a ‘cry for help from very, many people’ who want the authorities to intervene and return their communities to ‘the semblance we had before’.

The former Home Secretary called on the police to persuade Roma people ‘not to spend all their time in the street’ and discourage them from throwing rubbish.

He accused the Government of having its ‘head in the sand’ over the true numbers of Roma in Britain. In 2011, official estimates suggested ‘relatively few Roma citizens’ lived in the UK.

The Mail yesterday quoted the mayor of two Romanian villages as saying half of their residents will move to the UK when restrictions are lifted in January.

Koller Gabriel-Adrian said he believed ‘50 per cent’ of the 1,100 people in poverty-stricken Berini and Uliuc could travel to Britain in search of higher salaries – and the generous welfare system – in the New Year. He added: ‘In January, the only thing left in the village will be the goat.’

blunkett

If he could only see what many others have, he would surely understand that the hate he asks people to put aside, is pushed onto them by a rootless, lawless rabble.  A rabble that should by rights have no rights and especially not the right to exist.  Their breathing is an affront to civilization, and there should by rights, be a hunting bounty on them.

If you should happen to be at a bus station or railway in many European cities, you might find yourself confronted by a woman with what looks like a drugged baby in her arms, crying help me, help my baby.  A few hours later you may see the same babe in arms but a different woman.  They will be holding out to you, a pitiful flower on a stem or a sprig of something all teary eyed.  DO NOT put a hand on that flower or on that sprig, because once touched you may have bought it.  Your arms will be grabbed and if you pull away you’ll hear a SCREAM you won’t think could come from anything human. You might want to check pockets and purses btw.  Gotcha!

And then there are the kids young as 8 to 10.  Wife has a friend who tells us how she was robbed.  Her purse was carried across her shoulder and under an arm, and not in the usual way many carry one hanging off the shoulder.

A kid had the moves of a dancer she says, as he grabbed the strap and whirled her in a circle slipping the purse off and over her head. She says it all happened in a matter of seconds, and he then tossed the bag to a young girl who ran off with it. She in one direction and he in another.  She said she didn’t think the boy could have been much older then 10 and couldn’t get a really good look at the girl but that she was small.

About a month ago friends of ours here in the village went on a trip.  They are about our age and belong to one or two travel groups, one being connected to the National Trust.  Well anyway ... they took a trip to Prague which they said was a delight, although it could have been better but for.
I’m sure I don’t have to spell it out.
Their tour guide passed out safety pins and instructed all the men to pin their pockets closed. I don’t know what she may have advised the women in the group. Oh ....
EVERYONE it was stressed, should carry larger amounts of cash and passports in a safety belt inside their cloths, leaving only a tiny amount in pockets or purse should a lucky thief manage the pocket anyway or get off with a purse.

Why should people who have earned their way in life and now want to do those things ppl do, tour, relax, enjoy the scenery, why should they have to go through these motions that in past time would have been unheard of?

The former Home Secretary called on the police to persuade Roma people ‘not to spend all their time in the street’ and discourage them from throwing rubbish.

locals were entitled to ‘grumble’ about the large influx of migrants from Roma communities, but they should not ‘stir up hate’.

Seems to many that the hate isn’t being stirred by the locals but by the invaders.  And the useful idiots of the left who allow this to happen all over Europe and the UK.  And if Mr. Blunkett believes rubbish and school are all that needs tending to, then he is truly blind in more ways than one.
He has not been able to view what so many other have been forced to endure.

Fair warning America. Hold on to those guns.

British Jihadis Describe Their Aims for America After Syria Fight.

H/T The Blaze

As if it needs to be confirmed. Again. btw ... At least one of these animals referred to as British, isn’t. He may have been born here, not even certain of that. But he isn’t a Brit. As for the ones who are .... what do I say?
One thing I do believe however.  They will if they get the chance the hand wringers on the left will give them.

I saw a good example of that the last couple of days reading and listening to the opinions and editorials regarding the Brit Marine who deleted a wounded taliban scum. And just today, in a piece about a Guantanamo prisoner who has had a diary published, or somehow smuggled out, I am not sure which as the article didn’t say. But Memphis Barker, the writer refers to him as the human jihadist. He does not excuse the mass killings. Not at all.
But he clearly is one of those who bemoan our holding terrorists there AND ... he says of the guy he is writing about, a guy who btw is guilty of the bombings of American tourist sites in Jordan in 1999, as a person ...

We have no choice but to regard his rights as a human being, and condemn the fact during his captivity the CIA hung him from a ceiling and waterboarded him 88 times.

Well woo-F*****g hoo Mr Barker.  It wouldn’t have bothered me if they’d killed the bastard.

‘We Will Bleed You to Death’: British Jihadis Describe Their Aims for America After Syria Fight

British men fighting alongside Al Qaeda-linked groups in Syria have said that after Syria, they aim to take the battle to the United States and Britain.
Sharona Schwartz, The Blaze

Vice News posted video with interviews of British men who traveled to the combat zone to pair up with the jihadi groups Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“I say to United States that your time will come and we will bleed you to death and, inshallah [Allah willing], will raise the flag in the White House,” a 26-year-old Briton told the Vice News interviewer.

“My feeling is great, hamdullallah (thank Allah), I’m happy I’m here. And I’m here to please Allah… and I’m not here to please anyone else but Allah,” he added, describing his aim as contributing to jihad on behalf of Muslims.

During the entire video, all of the men were masked, revealing only their eyes, and none provided their names.

A second British citizen blamed his government and prime minister for perpetrating “crimes” against Muslims. He tied his objectives with those of the killers of Lee Rigby, the British soldier who was hacked to death in the London neighborhood of Woolwich in May. The perpetrators – both Muslim converts – described their motives as revenge for the killing of Muslims by British forces serving in the Middle East.

“Like the guy in Woolwich, he explained that [Prime Minister] David Cameron would never walk on the street, and he’ll never get shot in the face, whereas you guys who are soldiers, or just normal folk, will take the blame for the crimes that are committed worldwide by Britain itself so we have to fight. It’s part of our obligation…to protect our honor, to protect our women,” the Syrian rebel from the UK said.

After Syria, the aim is “to bring back the honor of Islam from Filastine [Palestine] to Al Aqsa to all over the Muslim world, and Britain will be next,” said one of the British jihadis.

“From this land we will march toward the Al Aqsa mosque [in Jerusalem] in the name of Allah. Allahu Akbar! [Allah is the greatest],” said another.

The Vice News crew visited Syrian rebel outposts just over the Turkish border where fighters were focused on battling Kurdish nationalists, not the Assad regime.

Rebels from both the Nusra Front and ISIS made a show for the cameras of hugging, despite recent reports of a rift between them.

With so many volunteers from overseas, key members of the fighting units are the interpreters. One fighter explained that they have Dutch, English, French and Russian interpreters on hand.

One rebel strongly denied reports in the Arabic and Western media about the practice of so-called “sex jihad,” in which devout Muslim women allegedly have traveled to the Syrian frontlines for the pleasure of the radical fighters. He blamed Shi’ites for coming up with the idea.

The head of domestic intelligence for Britain’s MI5 intelligence agency, Andrew Parker, last week estimated that the number of British Al Qaeda sympathizers in Syria at in the “low hundreds.”

Speaking to the British parliament last week Parker said this was a “very important strand of the threat” the UK faced, the BBC reported.

Opt Out

Periodically I go through my email, unsubscribing to various junk mail and ads that always seem to follow me.

Lately I’ve been seeing targeted ads on several blogs, pushing products that I may have been Googling up earlier in the day. This is called Behavioral Advertising.

If you are subject to things like this, and you’d rather not be, or if you seem to get too many email ads that you just can’t get rid of, try Opting Out.

Go here:

http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/

and click the Choose All Companies button at the bottom of the page. I did, and in removed me from the lists of 80 companies.

I call that a decent start.

Of course, they get you coming AND going: to not have these Behavioral ads following you around, you’ve got to leave their no-ad cookies on your PC. So you can’t win 100%.

Yes, there are various ad-blocker ad-ins for browsers. I’ve got several of them on my Firefox here. And it still isn’t enough.

FIFY, hundreds of millions saved

3 kids rewrite ObamaCare over the weekend for fun ... and now it works.

Holy ass burgers.

Even as President Obama has issued a constant refrain of how upset he is that his Obamacare website doesn’t work and promises that he’s on top of the fix, three 20-year-old website designers in San Francisco made a working Obamacare website using Healthcare.gov’s own code. They did it in only three days.

The three web developers who created the site, HealthSherpa.com, programmed it to do much of what Healthcare.gov, the Obamacare website, is supposed to do.

The enterprising young men whipped up their version of Obamacare in just days working in their off time.

Unlike the Obamacare website, Ning Liang, George Kalogeropoulous and Michael Wasser’s new site shows Americans the info they really want to see. Signing onto their site will show visitors healthcare plans and pricing that is available. All you do is enter your zipcode, and there it is.

The three are continuing to tweak their site to give visitors even more information, too. Just after their site went live, they added a section that will help visitors find out if they qualify for a tax subsidy.

The only thing the site doesn’t do is connect visitors directly to the insurance companies so that visitors can actually buy a policy.

So these three guys can create a website that does the same sort of things that the Obamacare website is supposed to do and they did it in only a few day’s time? Yet Obama has struggled for years to create a broken, mess of a site that no one can use?

Two thirds of a billion down the drain for shit, and three CHILDREN can fix it in a weekend, just for shits and giggles? Notice that they’re being called “web developers” out of politeness, but these 3 aren’t even in college. They’re just kids ... with ZERO actual professional experience as programmers, debuggers, or testers. And no, they didn’t re-write the code from the ground up; they merely looked at it and figured out how it ought to have been put together in the first place. Which is FAR MORE than the folks doing the actual coding could do. So let’s call this a massive step in the right direction.

And yeah, it may only do 80% of what the “real” program can do ... but it can do it at a cost of ZERO. After 72 hours of tweaking. 3 kids did for free in a couple days what hundreds? of Canadians couldn’t do in years, not even for more than half a billion dollars.

So what I want to know is, when do the arrests start for this massive fraud? After $643 million wasted over years, I think we deserve a mighty grand Perp Walk don’t you? Because we’ve been robbed. And then let’s get at least $625 million back. Strip their assests and send them to jail to rot.

oh hella yeah

Stolen from the Rottie, who quoted an email sent in and read by Sean Hannity on Fox News:

“Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days. 

December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day. 

What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive federal government to build a working webpage. 

Mobilization of millions, building tens of thousands of tanks, planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc. Turning the tide in North Africa, Invading Italy, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin – all while we were also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific!! 

And in that amount of time – this administration can’t build a working webpage.”

Not even an offshored no-bid one with 64300% cost overruns. But hey, no nepotism or favoritism there or anything, right Moochie?

VJ day was August 15, 1945, about 97 days later I think. Don’t expect the page to be running clean by then either. As if this part quoted above wasn’t bad enough.

yay peiper yay christopher

It’s been a really rough couple of months for me, what with one thing and another. So many things have been demanding of my time.

So I’d really like to thank Peiper, and Christopher, for keeping the posts coming while I’ve been inattentive.

Course, I can make excuses. Lyme Disease, writer’s block, wife got laid off, trying to quite smoking again after falling off the wagon a couple months back after 3/4 of a year quit, just sick and tired of my side losing at politics. Too much bowling. And just tired of the whole stinking mess. Finding out the other week that US Senators consider me a Domestic Enemy was about the last straw. Watching our pResident play his weekly game of “watch me piss off the patriots and conservatives” hasn’t helped a jot.

The point is, these two guys have really been carrying this blog while I’ve been a schlep and not posting.

And I really, really appreciate it.

In another 5 days I run down to the Bahamas for a week or so, so I won’t be able to post a thing then. In the meantime, I don’t know what I’ll manage to post. With her out of work, around every minute of every day, it doesn’t seem like I can put the time in to surf the net like I used to. Always seems to be ten or twenty things that I have to do right now instead. Not sure what I’ll post either. Here ya go: I had my first taste of real Kobe beef tonight. Texas raised, Japan finished, reimported. Really fatty stuff, tasted almost like a beef sausage. Interesting. She didn’t like hers at all. Now that’s exciting content, what? On the other hand, it was the greatest birthday sushi meal I’ve ever had, and for once I’m actually full. Which is rather hard to do with sushi and sashimi.

What, I’m going to write about politics? Can’t stand it. It’s either more of the same, as our exalted Emperor circumvents the Constitution yet again ... or it’s woo-hoo, the chickens are coming home to roost, told ya so, while the nation falls apart. I tired of both, and sickened by both. Personally, at this point I want a blood purge, a Tea Party driven anti-commie/anti-loonie Kristallnacht the likes the world has never seen. By the millions, if not the hundreds of thousands. A reckoning of knives. And that’s about the only way left that I can see will bring about a cure. Which makes the cure pretty freakin sick, and worse in many ways than the disease. But still. So you can see why I try to walk away from it. That isn’t the way. Patience is ... I should live so long.

Arrgh. Probably the lack of nicotine talking. Hey, it’s better now than 2 days ago, when I wanted to put on a hockey mask and take a chainsaw to the world.

3-4 weeks on 1-3 lights a day, now it’s been 6 days without a single puff. I’m not exactly a happy camper. Patches take the edge off some, but make it hard to sleep, even if I take them off. I guess it’s hardest because I’m not really so sure that I want to quit. When I have 2 or 3 smokes a day they’re really satisfying. Hell, I get high for a couple minutes. Even if they’re lights, even if I only smoke half of one. But I can’t breathe. COPD. And it’s instantly worse when I smoke. Tired of using the inhalers, the sinus sprays, the pills. Quit or die I guess ... so I can live without a bit of satisfaction. Actually, I haven’t used any of that medication in nearly two weeks. Hardly need it if I hardly smoke, and don’t need it at all if I don’t. So let me use my last functional brain cell and say .. WELL, DUH. Too bad the other dysfunctional cells think about lighting up about 3000 times a day.

Yesterday, darling N from days of yore put some more pictures up on Facebook of all of us fencers back in our undergraduate days. Sigh. We were all so young. So strong. So thin. So richly coiffed. So frisky. Crap. Damn. So unbelievably frisky. Where does it all go? By the time you read this tomorrow, I’ll be 53. Fat, bald, bifocals, grey, knees hurt in the morning, foot hurts at night, hand hurts in the morning, ribs hurt when I sleep, maybe arthritis, no strength, no energy, no stamina ... aww shit. Once upon a time I could reach out and hit you in the face mask with a sabre blade from 8 feet away so fast you didn’t even know it was coming. All you’d see is the sparks and feel the whack. Now? There are days when I really, really want an afternoon nap. Crivens. Age sux. Oh, and I’m half deaf too.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
