sharing a rant of sorts

A note or two to share.

Some of you might be fans of the Olympic games, which I have long thought lost their way.  Yeah, opening ceremonies and closing sometimes very impressive. Might even be the highpoints of the event. For me personally, skating aside, it’s a gigantic money making bore.  I hope some of you are getting the news about things here and the preparations and the money for the fat cats and, the special driving lanes for the VIPs which will mean a bit of crowding for the natives. But heck. Screw them. Right?

Well, the silly looking Olympic torch which you might already know is not one torch travelling the length and breadth of the land but many, many of them.  In fact, there will be it is claimed, 8,000 torchbearers, accompanied by a convoy and police and other secutity personal.

People have paid for the privilege of running a few yards or a few miles with this object, lighting the next torch which is carried a few yards or maybe miles to yet another torch which then passed ….. you get the picture.  Some of the torch bearers have already put theirs up for sale on eBay.  Oh btw, those awful looking outfits they wear go with it. They’re on sale too. 

The Olympic Torch is not actually being carried through the whole route. After passing through each designated area it will be made secure inside a vehicle and then moved by road to the next point.  And that vehicle is part of a convoy.  I can not remember exactly how many cars are in the convoy.

I know I’ve been a bit long winded here. I have some things of a moonbat nature to share and had to lay out the background.

All those police who are involved with these Olympic activities will, when it’s all over, be eligible for counselling.  Yup.  What the papers all said was, that after the high of being a part of the Olympics, some might not be able to face coming back to normal duties very well. There will be disappointment and stress most likely say the caring folks who always, feel your pain.  I guess they have in mind the kind of down say, a fighter pilot might have returning to civies after a heart stopping tour of duty shooting down ME 109s.  Something like that I guess.

I think I’m on a bit of a rant due to what I am reading and what my previous two post were about.  Perhaps you can see my frustration and understand it.
I posted stories about exceptional people in life and death situations.  Then I read about counselling for cops on duty guarding a torch.  But wait. There’s more.

Bus drivers are threatening a strike next week, because they want a Games bonus of £500.
That works out to $786.00.  I believe I also read somewhere that the subway folks want more too.

There are a lot of Brits who say they wish their country had not gotten the games.
They are sorry they say, that the French didn’t get them.
Oh boy, are they sorry the French weren’t stuck with it. 

Finally to your possible relief I bring this to an end and leave you with a bit of bizarre moonbattery, that could only be tolerated by the kind of people too many Brits have become.  In better times, this ass-wipe wouldn’t even dare think of this much less try and bring it to a court. 

Check this out.

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.
