Today i heard a man had died of Motor Neuron disease. This wasnt just any man, but one who had been responsible for a violent random assault on me and a friend about 20 years ago. My friend was kicked to the ground after being headbutted, and had i fallen the same treatment would have been dished out to me.
The worst thing was that at the hospital they new exactly who this man was from our description, and further more they confessed they dealt with his victims came on a regular basis. This was a blood sport and fun to him. I heard later he was sent to prison for dealing drugs soon after the assault.
This person was a nasty piece of shit, though a friend said everyone sang his praises at the funeral. He said nothing of what he knew to be the truth, but it reeled inside of him. The streets are safer without him alive, and i wonder how much suffering he caused in total.
One spin off is that ever since that day, when i am in public, i am totally alert and aware of where everyone around me is ,and aware of who is approaching me and what mood they seem to carry. This instinct gets even stronger at night...

I Want… | 60 sec Smart Meter Ad 2019 | Smart Energy GB
Ive seen some dumb sentimental cynical shit in adverts, but tonight this takes the biscuit, The only reason a smart meter is being marketed for electric isnt to save the planet, its so they can charge you more for using less in the long run. Electric usage has fallen substantially in previous years, but our bills are going UP still ?!

Boys will be boys ?
Its been reported that the offensive of Upskirting is to carry a penalty of up to 2 years in jail and having your name added to a Sex Offenders registrar. I dont know what this says about 2019 but i remember at Primary School going up to the teachers desk to ask for help with maths when really all us boys did was look down her unbuttoned shirt at her healthy cleavage. It seems that even today boys will still be boys...lol

The Chip Shop Confessional
Have you ever just felt the overwhelming feeling that you have to go somewhere, even when every part of you is tired and doesn't want to ? This happened to me last week. I was so tired i was hardly fit to drive, but i was determined to travel to a cafe one night after work to get something nice to eat. My other half tried to persuade me to just stop at home, but the urge to go just carried me along.
Immediately on walking through the cafe door i spied a face, and the only face in the cafe, the one of the man who had caused my back in the day best friends marriage to collapse. Of course it takes two to tango as they say. Strangely though, a few seconds before i had seen my friends ex-wife drive past, so when i saw this man it was a double shock.
The affair caused quite a stir 15 years ago as both participants were Christian Youth School Workers. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but those old days seem so innocent looking back. It seems the man had a lot on his mind still from his past actions... he apologised for any up heaval his actions had caused back then. I think he needed to speak to us and get another piece of closure as no doubt he had very negative expectations of our views of him. After all he was demonised for his in appropriate actions.
Its quite surreal sitting in a cafe hearing a blast from the past confessing his sins, and i was rather relieved when i saw he had ordered a take away fish and chips. After he told us his adult son had committed suicide the previous year i found any further conversation hard. Anyway to cut a long story short he got his closure with us, and i guess that's a good thing.
My friend went on to remarry as he thought it was " Gods will " and after what Ive witnessed that a phrase that sets alarm bells ringing. Turns out he jumped from the frying pan into the fire, but that's another story and a horrific one at that...

Its that time of year again...
I havent had a holiday or full day off since last August. Its a busy lambing time and ive been feeding animals indoors every day since November. By May i will probably explode. Its a good job ive booked a week away then, but for now that f season is upon me.
