some short notes and a wish for a good new year. i guess we can hope but ….

We won’t hold our breath.

Americans and Brits this year may get a chance to save things.
But are the votes there?

A couple of short blurbs caught my eye in the past week, now I can’t find the clippings. No matter though as they were so brief I remember the stupidity anyway.

The word “cock” here in Britain hasn’t had quite the same meaning it carries in the USA.
There are pubs for example, with that word in the name.  And inns too.

An old expression not heard these days that I am aware of, but once was common; is “Keep your cock up” which simply was the Brit way to say keep your chin up. The first time I ever heard that was many, many years ago and I heard it from a Brit mom, whose daughter I was mad about. Boy was I in shock.  They had to move back to the UK and there I was in the USA. Depressed.  So she told me that.

Well, there’s a pub called The Black Cock, been around for years and years with no complaints.  But wouldn’t ya know, PC police never sleep where someone may be offended or perhaps take the name to be RAAAACIS.
And that last was exactly what some council member had in mind that some other person might take in their mind. So the pub sign was ordered to be taken down.
Google Black Cock Pub or Inn and you’ll find hundreds with that name.

Meanwhile, some small town mayor in a German locale had requested that folks please not shoot off fireworks at midnight to welcome the new year, because it may upset or frighten the refugees in their town who have come from a war zone.
Anyone from that part of the world is most likely to be very familiar with things that go bang.  They’d feel right at home.

Hmmm.  I can’t even say, so who the hell asked them to come.
Yeah, right. Her.

Hope the new year will be good to us all, but who can tell? 

Predictions here among some with regard to American election for top job .... You are not gonna like this bmews.
Dare I speak her name?

I have a gnawing fear that in the In/Out referendum promised for Brits this year, that the final vote will be to STAY IN.

I think the younger voters will swing the vote. Those probably under 30s. Or 35. 
If the vote is very close, I have heard it said that those who want out, will at least take heart and have a chance to try again.  But if the stay in crowd win by a large number, it’s all over.  Maybe for another generation or two.
And Washington is encouraging a stay in vote. 
What?  DC isn’t satisfied screwing their own country up?

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.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
