Thorntons, Cadburys, Fruit Pastilles, Tootie fruities, Curley Wurleys, Spangles and Kraft

Please no more Thornton's. I finished all the other toffee, but it is a little to rich for me. I would like Fruit Pastilles and Tootie Fruities if they still make them, or anything chewy. Thanks!
Laughed so hard I cried about John Terry's mum.....unbelievable.


Jesus youll be after spangles and a curley wurley next.Big fuss about Kraft taking over Cadburys. As long as they dont change the chocolate recipe, does it matter? Are US firms such bad employers?

Got to do the VAT

John Terry, Rush Limbaugh, Craig Bellamy, Simon Scharma

Honestly, most people think that Pat Robertson is a bit of a kook, because he said the same kind of things about the people of New Orleans after Katrina, that it was because there were so many gays there, and so much drunkeness and partying that they invited the wrath of God!!! No one really takes him seriously. Rush on the other hand is extremely dangerous, he has the number 1 rated radio talk show in America, and in 2008 signed a 4 year 400 million dollar contract, and people rely on his every word. So yeah, he's currently making $100million annually!!!!!!! I've never heard of Jan Moirs, or Gately et al, but I get your gist.

Yes, I like that Simon Sharma bloke, he did this 4 part series here during inauguration week last year. It's hard to believe that's a year ago tomorrow. And what a year. The Dems are in HUGE fucking trouble. so much so that it looks like Ted Kennedy's seat might go to a Republican. It has been in Democratic hands for decades, Kennedy didn't even need to campaign for that seat, this stupid bitch Martha Cokely (spelling is incorrect I believe), had a 30 point lead a month ago, and she has blown it, it's now 50/50, and Obama had to go and campaign for her yesterday. People are blaming the health care issues, but that is BS, because Massachussetts is the only state in America that has universal health care coverage. They never go Republican. They have a black governor also, who is a good friend of Obama's. Election is tomorrow, if Repug wins then the whole balance of the senate will be upset. Dems will no longer have a filibuster proof majority, and health care bill will likely go down the toilet.

Bloody hell, never knew that shit about John Terry's dad!!!!!!! Love that kind of gossip, I know nothing about all that kind of stuff now. What else do you know about footballers, and their wives etc. Have no feelings concerning Frank Lampard, but I CANNOT STAND Craig Bellamy......oh how I hate him so. He's such a cocky bastard, and he has a Welsh accent, LOL. And what did I say about Man. City, the minute they play a decent team they lose.

Haiti, Jesus, Rush Limbaugh, Jan Moir,Barack Obama, rak Obama, Africa League of Nations

Jeez, I cannot believe that this earthquake happened in Haiti. As if the poor bastards weren't suffering enough. Katrina was bad, but this is worse on so many levels. My problem is that I watch so much of this stuff when it happens, then I just have disaster overload, and I can't take it anymore. I can't believe the fucking presidential palace collapsed, jesus, it's rare that the seat at the top is impacted. The Haitian ambassador said that the first call that the President got was from the White House, and now that bastard Rush Limbaugh is suggesting that it is only because Obama has a political agenda.
Read this http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/ I have donated $100, can't really afford to donate any more, but regardless of my situation, they had nothing to start with, just awful.

Ha, so Liverpool lose to Reading, last time I looked online they were winning, and I didn't bother to check back. Then I go on to Facebook and everyone's posting about how their asses got beat. Do you think that the problem really is Benitez though? I mean, sure he has some culpability, but surely his hands are tied as far as transfers go, because those corrupt American bastards are mismanaging the money. I still don't understand how or why he replaced Alonso with Aquilani since he has stayed injured since they bought him.

As far as Man. City and Mancini are concerned, I have nothing against him, but everyone is treating him like he is the Messiah, and yet they haven't fucking played anyone of note yet. Are you all getting the African Cup of Nations over there? I couldn't believe that the Togo bus was set upon, I just can't imagine cowering under my seat for 30 minutes while the bus was being fired upon. Terrifying, but why the hell was Adebayor wearing an Arsenal shirt in his interview? Not a big deal in the grander scheme of things, but still. We do not get any of the games here, which is pissing me off, especially since so many of the League games are being postponed due to the weather. If you are getting it, what channel is it on? If it's on ITV then that's why we're not getting it.


Jesus, I dont know where to start. We are all amazed these people-
Rush Limbaugh and his mate Pat are given the time of day. How do they
get to make these insane views public and who is sitting in the
audience? How does Barak respond to them or does he just ignore them?
They use words like compassionate as a term of abuse? You must know
that anyone who came out with such views here would be laughed out of
the media and there would be a huge outcry against them? Did you hear
about Jan Moirs little article about Steven Gately and his gay
lifestyle being responsible for his death, linking it to Matt Lucas'
husband committing suicide ...because he was gay too. She was the
object of hate and ridicule, had to explain herself and apologise and
is now the butt of jokes, being seen as just a bit of a loony. She
would have lost her job if shed brought God in or race. The main
problem with that blog was that I coulnt read it out loud without
bleeping

We have been enjoying a round of programmes going through Baraks
election and first year; The fly on the wall filming of the election
which was thrilling, and Simon Schama. A.had received The West Wing
1st 3 series for Christmas and we had started watching that too. Is it
strange that we call him by his first name, or at least his full name,
while Americans call him Obama. We think hes brilliant, clever, cool,
balanced thoughtful and very probably a non believer. A. got a Barak
Obama doll for Christmas!

Liverpool have drawn again today, against Stoke. I cant be objective
about Liverpool because I hate them. I dont even like Steven Gerrard
who cant get it together enough for England for whatever midfield
overcrowding reason. DOnt like Lampard either. ALso I have to put up
with these 3 supporting Liverpool....and I did all I could to stop
them, so they must have supported them to annoy me!!! Obviously I
couldnt do anything about Nick, but he didnt encourage them .I have
heard all sorts about Gerrards Dad being the big 'I AM' in his area of
Liverpool, demanding respect like a Mafia Godfather. It only slightly
better than John Terrys Dad dealing drugs, while his Mum shop
lifts!!!!!!!

I headr Rafa didnt get on with Alonso, and he was the only liverpool
player I liked, because he use to have a go from the half way line a
couple of times a season. Aquilano has only just started his job
trying to replace Xabi, and not very well. Theres no-one supporting
Torres and the rest of the team are mediocre (Benyoun maybe)

We have limited coverage of Africa nations but have enjoyed what we
have seen. Adebayour had received an official Arsenal note of support
and condolence that day which has patched up the strained
relationship. It was a token of friendship when theres more important
things going on. Quite refreshing. We get it on Eurosport.

Christmas, Nigerian Bombers and Quality Street

Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year. My cousin and his wife had identical twin girls on Christmas Eve, which was nice. They have 2 older boys, 5 and 3, so their hands are full.

Jeezus! I can't believe that we got knocked out in the 3rd round by Leeds! I was distraught all day yesterday. Weather was shite, so I was at home, and watched the game, seems Man. U are relying a little too much on Rooney.

ALL the talk here, on TV and Radio, and amongst family for obvious reasons, is about that bastard that tried to blow up the plane on Christmas Day. He has totally fucked up everything for Nigerians now, they already said on the radio this morning that extra checks are going to be made on people coming from Nigeria, and people with Nigerian passports. Of course, Cheney had to come out of his hole during the Christmas period, and start ranting on about Obama not being good for National Security, it's what the Repubs do. These bastards are so partisan about everything. When the shoe-bomber tried to blow up the plane back in 2001, the Dems stood by the Republicans, but they are so mean and vicious, they they don't understand that now would be a good time to show some national unity. They are so bitter about the election, still.....bastards.

Of the past 6 weekend days, I have only worked one, which was the Sunday after Christmas. Weather is freezing, which wouldn't normally deter me, because I have an outdoor heater, but we've either had a freezing mix of precipitation, or this weekend 45-50mph winds!!! It's a little worrying, but I am just trying to take it in stride and see what happens. I have money now because of the Christmas season, but I am trying to spend as little as possible.

I ate so much shit from Christmas Eve through New Years Day, I just can't believe it. I have 4 Quality Street left, and once they have gone this evening, that's it, no more junk in the house, except on the weekends. It must be harder for you because you have the boys.

NHS, Moose, Obama Healthcare, NHS Walk in Surgery

I watched a documentary on the whole sniper thing last night and the police, and Moose were balmed for how long the whole thing went on for. One of the snipers (it wasnt clear which) was phoning the police, giving clues,; they stopped their car twice but were so stuck on a white van they never checked. The programme ended up really taking the piss out of Moose who apparently went back to beat work, but in Hawaii straight after the case!!!!!!!

On the subject of severance pay and health care... It cost us a fortune to let go of employees, I am talking thousands each, even the 21 year old who was still in training. Yesterday I took Mum to a health care drop in centre, a new fangled way to see a nurse or GP, no booking, open 365 days a year, 8am to 8pm, she had the full check over and then got some anti biotics for a chest infection. I wont be going anywhere else again, nor take the boys....and it means N can get in from work, or go on a Sunday if he has any worries; thats why men are notoriously bad at taking care of their health, because they cant fit in with surgery hours, and they let things get out of control. Its brilliant. All news on the Obama healthcare reform has dried up here. Once again, I am very happy to pay taxes for the NHS.

Larry King Live, Muhammad Execution, Health Insurance

I am SWAMPED!!!! and stressed out, and then my cousin called me yesterday to tell me that she had been laid off, as of the time she was calling me, no severance, nothing, they just came in and told them to pack their shit and go. She wasn't too upset, as she has only been working for them for just over a year, but she was upset because their were people there that had been working there 15 years or more, and no severance for them either. When you get laid off here, bang goes the health insurance, unless you can afford to pay what your employer was paying monthly (thus taking it over), then you can get coverage for a year. I did that when I left my job, it cost me $310 a month (look up the conversion). Most people can't afford to do it.

I will be in Virginia for a show next week from Weds to Sat, I will write more then. But, here goes regarding the sniper then I am going to have to get back to work...............

I actually don't know too many people that agree with the death penalty, even my Repub friends, it's not a deterrent, and most don't believe in an eye for an eye. I personally think that it's inhumane on every level. However, and I must admit me included, most of us were indifferent regarding the sniper. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that for those few weeks we feared for our fucking lives. I have NEVER been so terrified for my life. When there is a terrorist attack you are not expecting it, however, when there is a guy going round randomly shooting people, and you think you might be next it's freaking terrifying. I had just bought my house when the killing spree started, on the first day he shot 4 or 5 people. I drove 5 miles out of my way to get my petrol pumped at a place where they pump it for you, because he was popping people off at petrol stations at first. Then it was outside the grocery store, and then the last killing (he killed 10 in this area), was a Ride-On bus driver. That killing was the worst, and it upset people more than any of the other killings, plus he also shot an elementary school kid, while he was walking into school (elementary is from 10-13 years old I think). The boy apparently did some of the shooting too, and I would have been distraught if he had got the death penalty, but they gave him life. They tried Muhammad in VA first, even though most of the killings were in MD because although both states have the death penalty, we are more liberal here in MD, and they were afraid that he would get life, or the death penalty and be on death row forever. I have never heard of someone only being on death row for 7 years, people are generally on it for about 15, so it shocked the shit out of me last year when I heard that he would get executed this week!! Anyway, regardless of Muhammad's last name he was a goner anyway. He shot up blacks, whites, hispanic and Indian. Everyone thought that it was some redneck white guy from West Virginia, even the FBI profiled him as such, we were all shocked as hell when we saw it was a nice-looking black guy. Np one was more shocked than the blacks!!

He was crazy like a fox. He fired his trial attorneys, and decided to represent himself, and then after he was convicted based his appeal on having inadequate counsel at trial, LMAO. I didn't even realize it was still a big story until his 2 ex wives were on Larry King Live (LKL), on Monday night. Then I had to watch LKL last night, because he was due to be executed at 9pm, and I wanted to see the press conference afterwards etc. They also had Chief Moose on the show, who was the police chief of the Maryland county where most of the murders occurred, he is a huge hero here, even now, and he has been gone for about 6 years.

Anyway, they were saying on LKL that they didn't have the anti-execution protesters out at the prison last night, like they normally do when an execution is scheduled. There were maybe a handful, there are usually hundreds. As high-profile a case as this was, I just think people were kind of indifferent to it.

I had closure when his ass was convicted, I didn't feel that they needed to kill him, and as one victim's relative said, the death penalty doesn't bring closure it just re-opens old wounds.

BNP on Question Time, Execution in the US

Even though we are both so busy we can barely get a post written on the ridiculous BNP leader appearing on Question Time (it had to happen as he was elected, and Bonnie Greer made him look like a loony) I feel the need to comment on the fact that you live in a place where they have just injected someone, who must be a nutcase, with a lethal injection, and worse, I had to listen to how he behaved in his last hour and what he had to eat. My questions for you are
How many of your associates think thats OK?
Does his Muslim surname have an impact?
Why dont Americans who want the right to bear arms (or is it Bare?) understand that thats how he was able to get the gun in the first place?
What was the role of the 17 year old, apart driving?
