As we left
to drive to London on Sunday morning we found that A444 was closed. There was no indication as to why so we had
to make a detour to get to the M6. This
morning when we got up the Dorktown News
was waiting for us. On the front page
there was a story about a 20 year old student who had been found dead about
half way along there. But he wasn't
found on Sunday, he had been found yesterday.
Top and bottom, we still don't know why the road was closed on
Sunday. Ah well ... ... ...
For the last
two nights I haven't used my CPAP machine at night. This morning I managed to get the mask washed
so hopefully I will use it tonight and again hopefully feel a lot more lively
than I do right now. I have had time
before when I haven't used it for a few days but I've never felt so washed as I
do today. Perhaps I sickening for
something, maybe a head cold or whatever but I'll be glad when whatever it is
has cleared up.
Yesterday's News had the story of two young men who
rescued a lady from a burning flat in the Town centre. In today's edition we have another man say he
saved the lady. Reading further into the
story, the new guy saw smoke coming out of the flat a raced around to the door
to find the other two guys trying to kick the door in. Once it was open today's hero went in a got
her out. The lady is lucky it seems even
though she is in a Birmingham hospital on a ventilator. Who said there were no more heroes alive in
Britain today?
Last night
we had a quiet night sitting and reading instead of watching all the shows we
normally watch on Monday evening. This
morning we have been trying to catch up on them. First up was Panorama with a story of how slow a response many people are
getting to their 999 calls these days. I
find rather disconcerting that because of Tory dogma the emergency services are being starved of
funding. How many dead bodies will pile
up before they see the error of their ways I wonder. Tell you what, no matter how many bodies
there are, the Tory's won't care if it means moving outside their dogma!
Next up was New Tricks. Jack Halford has gone off to die of cancer in
France. Brian Lane is even more shaky
than he normally is. And Jan said this
morning that Amanda Redman is leaving the show too. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised that
this current series is the last one. Typical
BEEB that - find a show that works and then drop it rather than expand it.

A male or
female list ...
You May Not Know That Non-Living Things, Do
Have A Gender.
For example:
1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) Tyre -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.
5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7) Underground Train -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
10) Remote Control -- Female...... Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
