The official first day of Autumn, Olympic tickets and a veggie curry


It appears that July 16th is now the first official day of Autumn; yes a bit of a shock for everyone in the UK particularly as the end of this week is the first day of the summer holidays, or as they will be known from now on Autumn holidays. Yes it is now officially OK to start your Christmas shopping and getting your Christmas tree, a small word of advice, look for a tree that is floating high in the flood water is shows it is young and perky and will not drop every single needle on your living room floor until at least halfway through boxing day.




Not only is the impending holiday about to turn the minds of teenagers into the minds of teenagers but we are all about to head off on an odyssey called the Olympics, Not just any Olympics but the muzak filled, damp London Olympics. I don’t live near London and am yet to discover if I will be part of the event. The Media have told me everyone will be part of the event although if you wish to get in it will cost loads of money ………… AH, it appears the Opening ceremony still has seats available at the very modest and amusing price of £2012:00, O yes how we laughed when we heard of the committee’s witty pricing structure. They have now got the army to protect the perimeter fence but me and the dog plan to sail over the fence during the afternoon monsoon in a cunning plan to save £4024 pounds.

Talking of dogs I have learnt the it has been worked out scientifically that a average sized dog is the environmental equivalent to owning two 4X4,s  the dog says this is an insult and he is equal to at least three Jumbo jets and he now plans to write and complain (jumbo jets Com Plane…. HA H HA HHA Ha  HA HHA HA HH AH HAH HAhh ah hhaha hah hah ah hah ha hah hah hah ha ). A cat it appears is equal to a family salon, although I am not sure of make of colour.

Oooo you might have noticed I wrote ‘the MUZAK filled, damp London Olympics’ , just thought I would warn you, just in case……. And home made  veggie curry for tea YUM.

    Oh how lucky I am to have jumped ship and not been a drowned rat this 'Autumn' in the uk. Can't believe they are charging that exorbitant fee for the Olympics - are you sure you have the decimal point in the right place?

      No these are I believe the right prices for the good seats, the £2012 was a slightly witty reference to the year. The advantage of these seats is you will get to see everything. But for £1600 the seats are good but not quite so good, then for £995 you can sit where you can just about see most of the things some of the time. There are I believe tickets for £150 or there were as they are sold out I think, but not sure how much you will see, but hay is the atmosphere and being there that counts and then there were tickets for £20:12p O yes very amusing I suspect there were few of these and they are again all sold I think.

      I think of these as the carrot on a string the plasma TV in the sale for £20.12 while stocks last .....AH there is just the one..... Very sorry would you like one at £2012 as this is exactly the same figures and it actually works.

    It's absurd how much any country charges for the Olympics. I hope London has a good run with it.

    I am very concerned about Muslim extremists, however. They seem to be taking over Europe by force and via the birth rate.

    Good luck! If you make it there, grab some cool picks.

      Sadly the Olympics have become very corporate these days, maybe it was inevitable such things would happen because of the size of it....

      And although Muslim extremists may be a risk as they could be at any event of this type, it is worth remembering 99% of all Muslims are nice people who wish to live in peace. One of the great goals of all extremists in general is to drive cultures apart... If only all cultures could embrace and enjoy all the other cultures of the world maybe the world would be a better place.

    We operate two cosmetology salons, and "Family" is in the name of the business. But the word "Salon" is no longer part of the business name as we now have more than that.

      That sounds very enterprising Mr ESB as a scruffy and dishevelled character of an untidy nature, I had to Google that. But I will say that somewhere amongst my belongings I do own a hair brush, I even used it once. I am more a wash and go man but stuff and dirt has a strange ability to leap at me as do incorrect words..... It is a skill that one day will be very useful.... I hop.....

    The hustle and bustle of the Olympics has already started. We can no longer park our cars where we want to, get on the buses we want to and travel to where we want to, unless we want to go to the Olympics and then it's fine.

    Still, if you can't beat em, join em. I've signed up with a lovely security firm called G4S.

      I missed you comment yesterday Miss Lily (very sorry) but I guess you are a bit too close for comfort still on the bright side if you have a spare £4024 you and the Lil man could wander over and watch the opening Jamboree.

      Oooo yes and if you are lucky the fireworks will keep you up all night...
