After
yesterday's rant I'm sat here today and I'm struggling to find something to
blog about - me, of people lot for words! When I think back to school days
though, especially primary and junior school, the teachers always made the
comment, 'Ronald has very good ideas but struggles to get them down on paper.'
Well, thanks to the OU I now know that I am moderately to severely dyslexic. My
reading speed is good now but slow; a normal sized paperback book page can take
me up five minutes to read, depending on font size. My spelling is, or was appalling
at one time but now I'm finding that I am using the Word dic n ary a lot less
than I used to. Having been written off by those same teachers at age 11, I
would love to go and wave my BA Hons certificate under their noses and give
them copies of my four current published books!
My current
NANO effort is still being read through and corrected and added to now that the
rush is over; hopefully I shall got a good deal of it done today. Once that is
done I can get back to the latest Fred Copper story, one again set in the
Cambridge area. Mind you, it's been so long since I looked at it I'll have to
have a good read of it to pick up the thread of the story again. In this one I
looked back slightly to Coppers teenage years in Reading. I might have a bit of
romance coming to the CID room too.
Round after
round of budget cuts are making the news yet again. Staffordshire as announced
up to 1000 job losses. Warwickshire has announced cuts £92 million. Large job
losses are also indicated, including 100 fire fighter jobs. These people really
do live on a different planet it seems.
Dorktown
Council is getting upset over the county council over a different idea they
have come with. They are talking about taking over the town halls and running
them themselves as a money shaving exercise. Of course it's not cut and dried
and the idea is only at the suggestion stage and there's the usual political party
divide within the Dorktown objections. The county council is Tory run while the
town council is Labour run. However, in the past it has been quite obvious the
South Warwickshire based county council tends to ignore the north of the
county. So the worries of north are not just about politics. It's all at the
just asking for ideas stage at the moment; or at least that is what the Tory
run county council wants us to think. We will have to wait and see.
And now for a

And for a
funny I offer ...
Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl
in his office, but she belonged to someone else... One day, Johnny got so
frustrated that he went up to her and said, "I'll give you a £100 if you
let me screw you. But the girl said NO.
Johnny said, "I'll be fast. I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up. "
She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend... So she called her boyfriend and told him the story.
Her boyfriend says, "Ask him for £200, pick up the money very fast, he won't even be able to get his pants down."
So she agrees and accepts the proposal. Half an hour goes by, and the boyfriend is waiting for his girlfriend to call.
Finally, after 45 minutes, the boyfriend calls and asks what happened.
She responded, "The idiot used coins!"
