More happiness, more love, more fun, more peace, together.

Hugs and kisses to both of yer!

I read some Famous Five books, can’t for the life of me remember any of them. The only character I remember was George, even then someone who challenged gender stereotypes was attractive.

I’m guessing that Ferdinand has played often enough to know the difference between ‘just football’ and abuse.

I know women who are proud of being women but are at least mildly affronted if a statement is addressed even pleasantly to them as ‘woman’, e.g “Please put the kettle on while you’re in there, woman”. I think Ferdinand’s pride in being…[Read more]

I went to see David Hockney’s iPad Art yesterday… I spoke to one of his young proteges who convinced me that computers are just another medium for art… and if some of the greats like Picasso and Monet were alive today they would snap up an iPad :D

This reminds me of the fuss when Lady Chatterley’s Lover was published in paperback… as a little girl I remember my mum made a brown paper sleeve for her copy so no-one could see she was reading it…. how times have changed :D

It seems people read it on their kindles now . . . . . .

Does Claire even read the boards?

And yet;
Vouchers instead of benefits? Uproar!
Cuts to housing benefit? Outrage!
Streamline child benefit? Oh…

Its all down to honesty, some are on benifits cause they need to them, the others are on them either as they are too lazy to work or are working and screwing the system at same time.

I love the street artists like Edgar Müller but the work is temporary and will never hang on a wall or be seen in a gallery or a museum…does this mean it isn’t considered art?

What about Banksy and people of that ilk? Is that art or grafitti? Who decides, the people who want to buy it or the council who want to clean the…

They tried this when Asylum Seekers were all the rage. It was scrapped for all the reasons Panda mentioned. The vouchers weren’t for the cheapest supermarkets – shades of paying back political favours – vouchers couldn’t be used with discounts and cash couldn’t be given in change.

So queues were held up while items were exchanged down to the last…[Read more]
