Running up that Hill I'm pleased to see that the Kate Bush song: Running up that hill is back on the charts. It's all due to Stranger Things on Netflix. I love the idea that the girl used the song to get herself out of that hell. I brought the Album back in the 1980s and it had a big effect on me. Last of the concept albums.

£2 a Litre.
Fuel is so expensive now, it's changing our whole world. When I was a kid if you did not have a car you got on the bus. But it's almost as if that is a swear word now. Once the recession kicks in, fuel will drop in price, as no one will be going anywhere. Most of our fuel price goes into direct taxation and VAT in the UK. In a litre of petrol, it's something like 20p for the actual price of the fuel. I don't know what gas is in the US, but I wonder what people think about electric cars? There...

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.
