Boris! A gonna?

I think our beloved leader has finally burnt his boats. There is a vote tonight, which he might win. But it's just a matter of time now. People can forgive him the parties, but they won't forgive him for ruining the economy. Inflation is out of control and people are genuinely frightened for the future. Petrol is so expensive now, it's ruining everyone's life and the supermarkets are getting to the silly stage now. What's to become of us? Sign in to see full entry.

Rain!

Sadly the heavens have opened here in England, and it looks like it will be in for the morning. Saw this on our local FB nostalgia page. This video shop changed our lives. Finally, there was a world outside of the BBC where anyone could make a film. Sure, they were rubbish, but that didn't matter. The future had arrived. Sign in to see full entry.

Stamford 1912 The local town has changed little since this picture was taken. All the little family businesses have long gone, thanks to the supermarkets. I wonder what those people would have thought if they could see our sorry world now? Medical matters have progressed, but the hearts of the people are blacker than ever. The cruelty of an Empire came back to haunt them, but they have learnt little from it. I wonder what people will make of our time 100 years from now? Sign in to see full entry.

1.5 goals

How can you have one point five goals? It's meant to be up to 2 goals, but the good thing is, that it does not matter which side wins as long as someone scores a goal. I never watch sports and used to hate football when I was a kid. But it's a little different from the lottery when you just want the numbers to come up. Doing 1.5 goals on Betfair is an easy way to make money, especially when you choose high scoring teams. 70 70 80% chances of getting at least 2 goals. of course, you still need...

Motivation. Funny how life works out. I see the fees are coming round again. Usually, this blog pays for itself, as I get a few hits. But I have been so slow of late, it's all fallen away. So I have to get motivated just to prove it's worth keeping. I am lazy by nature, so I will always take the easy way out. And this is one way of getting things going. Money proves to be my biggest worry, as the stocks and Bitcoin have just ground to a halt. Nothing we can do. No fees, but no income either. My... Sign in to see full entry.

Jubilee

The whole country is going crazy for the Queen. Ringing the church bells in the village. I saw the aircraft going back from the flyover. Will put some more effort into this tomorrow. Sign in to see full entry.

Keep going!

Just a note to say I'm still here. The stock market has taken a dump on everyone, but it will pick up once it reaches this down leg. Let's face it, the stocks were too pricey! A little sideline I've started is sports betting. Now, I'm no sportsman, but I've found a way to make modest profits at little risk. There's no other game in town but it suits me. I have had some success in story writing, but it's not for the faint-hearted, as it's on an adult site: Literotica. A shallow victory? But this... Sign in to see full entry.

Fair Weel.

It's Fair week in Stamford. The first one goes back to 1180 and was a big deal around here. They even kept it open during the Civil war as it was the only source of income for the armies. Both armies. I have mixed memories of visiting the fair. Loved it as a little kid, but it frightened me the older I got. the rides were too fast and I did not like having my inside shaken up. Loved the smells of diesel oil, candy floss and toffee apples. Sign in to see full entry.
