- What Ever Happened To....... -
What a last four/five weeks I’ve had, five weeks of not knowing what else is around the corner I’m beginning to question my resolve since August of ‘Going with flow and not being so aggressive’ to the Authorities and those hell bent on making my existence unpleasant and believe me there are a few other then ’Name and Shame’ will remain nameless. For the life of me I can not understand why ‘people‘ have to be so deliberately offensive, so un helpful, obnoxious, consciously and intentionally damn right rude I feel sure they are trying to provoke me to retaliating in their fashion, provoke me they will not for I remember my go with the flow and adopt a superior attitude and just smuggle smile at them.
No way am I going to list all those niggling little events and I suppose nothing really to complain about but they have to be righted but dear oh! dear they are so time consuming and so darn frustrating. Most of them are caused by ‘others’ not doing their jobs correctly or lacking interest and knowledge. Most of my ‘shopping‘ [?] is done on line and whats so galling is when you have crossed all the ‘T’s‘ and dotted the ‘I’s” ‘they get it wrong and this leads to endless e-mails and some phone calls to sort out the events they have caused. It would help if you ‘spoke‘ to the same person each time, call centers are by far the worst especially if when the person can barely talk and understand English. I thought at first it was my fault, me with my accent or the common slang words I am accustomed in using but no, talking to others who use the internet and have shopped on line they too say the same.
Coming up to the Christmas period a period of time I thought was the time for ‘Good Will to all’ Yeah right ? well for me it seems as if you have to have very sharp elbows, tunnel vision and go for it doesn’t matter who gets in the way, Good manners - gone, politeness - gone. This is just me with thoughts on good manners, evan before this festival period few and far between, the words ‘Thank You’, ‘Please’, ‘The cheery smile and nod of the head’ what few there were before have now completely gone. Bah!!!! I simply refuse to join in this attitude and [OK I know this is me saying this] will still cary on with my [?] being good mannered.
A ‘Jackist’ I am not and never will be.
Sour grapes, my rant, possibly!!, feeling better now - yes.
Christmas for me, my choice and my way withdraw into my castle, drawbridge up, portcullis down, front doorbell and telephone disconnected Normal service what ever normal service is will be resumed 2nd January. My only communication for this period will be Skype, e-mail or other forms of computer language.
To all visitors I hope you all have a very good and joyful Christmas time.

Hello Mick. Will there be a wreath on your drawbridge? I hope there is some peace to had had while you are secluded in the castle. I know there will be good food, because I've read about the types of things you cook! Happy Christmas and happy Skyping!
