Talking about life, that’s around me, British society. Good, bad, ugly. A bit of everything, from: comedy, sports, live arts, to stories of everyday life. So much to explore, and see in the world. 🌍

Illustration of ancient Persian men in traditional robes and tall headdresses debating ideas in two scenes: one while sober around a table, and another while holding wine cups. Text on image reads: β€œIn the ancient Persian Empire, men would debate ideas while sober and again while drunk. An idea had to sound good in both states to be considered acceptable.”

It’s a miracle on Grenoble Road. We’ve finally got a penalty and scored. πŸŸ‘πŸ”΅ #OUFC

Up north, Bradford.

This morning I went to World Heritage Site, of Sir Titus Salt village Saltaire. Popped into the Peace Museum whilst I was there.

Bought a few theatre outings for May:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the Old Vic,

Have things to look forward to. πŸ—“οΈ

Impeccable minute silence from both sides before the game, and the referee was right, respectful to pause the game during the 15th minute applause for Amelia. #OUFC

Big win against Blackburn tonight. Going into Charlton on positive form and we bring Blackburn into the relegation fight. We’re showing grit now. Winning games now. πŸŸ‘πŸ”΅ #OUFC

Over the past couple of days our Women’s Team, Girls Academy players and all staff paid their respects for Amelia.

Amelia’s teammates honoured her memory, coming together during this difficult time.

Forever in our hearts. πŸ’›

I felt dizzy when home. I was so tired I clashed out for a hour. Think it’s messed up my sleep. Just listening to music at the moment.

Tried to run earlier but muscles in my legs were all stiff, and couldn’t move legs properly. Walking around dragging my feet after. Took like four times as long to get back. Kept sitting down. Hope a one off.

Went to the hygienist. Not worth it. BUPA charged something obscene. Used bank of dad. Wouldn’t bother. Waste of resources.

If I had a choice to sack him again I would. I would do it again and again.

I take the mick out of them, quoting bullocks I read what doctors say. I just write how they write. GMC are like he writing like us. lol

But not an awful NHS trust with Swindon level decision making. I couldn’t have been more honest, & to the point. I give up with idiots. I reported the doctor to GMC. GMC only replied as I said their organisation is pointless if they don’t investigate. Corrupt. Medics are crooks.

I described a doctor as: inept, incompetent, liability, dangerous, unethical and harmful. Probably more.

Like anyone with a healthy amount of brain cells would be aware I’m saying they’re sacked.

Illness of the mind doesn’t exist. It’s experience of society issues. The problem isn’t the individual but of society. It’s easy to used illness of the mind as an excuse for criminal activity but there’s no evidence of its existence.

Sir Starmer should be saying β€œno” more to America. Non country, need to distance ourselves from their war games.

Mr Trump seems completely irrational, kidnapping a leader, bombing countries to kill their leader, seems not a logical approach or in any long term thinking. Completely bonkers.

I met my friend, as he was at an open mic night in a pub near where I lived. Stayed a hour or so.

Seen family today, mostly having conversations with my dad. He getting old, like 79. So not too sure how long we’ll have together so it’s always good to spend time with each other.

We should wear black armbands on Tuesday, and have a minute silence/ clap for Amelia Aplin. So sad. #OUFC

Dogs are taking over the London Underground system. No one is talking about it.

Our children aren’t going to get good education, barely anyone can get a GP, dentist appointment, won’t be getting cancer treatment timely, police nowhere to be seen, our grandparents won’t get the care they deserve so what’s the point?

I left my flat, in the centre of Oxford the other day. In the car park, neighbours were speaking to each others: β€œno one wants to work anymore, I haven’t worked for four months”.

I’m just thinking yeah it’s a state affairs we’re in, broken Britain. Country is a disgrace.

Tottenham need to play their youth team in the Champions League. Not going to win so should put their energy in staying in the Premier League. lol
