We visited the Lake District again last year. I mention this because I have just been watching a programme about Wainwright and I find so many parallels. In character I am very similar, though not to the extent of his commitment and drive in producing his brilliant guides over how many years it took, but rather in my love of the fells and the solitariness and the beauty. He is so right that

I must be a bit slow because it is only recently that I fully appreciated what this whole business of the cult of personality is about. The big mistake is to believe the hype that surrounds so many of these nonentities. It is all just a matter of filling the newspapers and media in general. Without all of these so called personalities what would they have to write about. They have to produce a

Your average native Wonker isn,t too committed to intellect. I myself am not a native Wonker as my parents were only related after they married but I must explain here that the term Wonker isn,t a precise description for many of the natives down here though its close enough, give or take a letter. The lack of ambition in regard to intellect is probably a consequence of the historic industries of

We have two large comprehensives in Toytown. One of them, the inferior one, having had millions of pounds spent on it over the last ten years updating its facilities was promptly closed down and a brand new multi-million pound school built to replace it. Normally if a large corporation builds a new office it brings in some fresh blood with new managers and staff but no, the same group of managers

I live in a part of the Country called Wonkerland. The town I live near to, Toytown, is really a city as yet without many of the problems we associate with English cities, but their coming.In response to that holy of holies the farmer it was decided by the wise men of our County to allow in as cheap a labour force as could be found so East Europeans fresh to exploit on there entry into the

PREJUDICESLike so many people I have always voted for one party, the Labour Party, all of my life. I don,t know why I suppose I identified with the class of people who are usually associated with Labour and anyway anything seemed better than Hume or MacMillan or Heath and worst of all thatcriminal Thatcher.I dont identify with that class now in fact I dont think I ever did. The Scum culture that

Welcome to my blog, rationality isn't the aim. My comments on here are pricipally motivated by my increasing disassociation with the planet. So I say to you all, don't slip on the bull sh*t. There is no obligation to read, so if my views offend, then b*gger off somewhere else.
