A Stream of Consciousness: July 2012
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Saturday, 28 July 2012. The Olympic Opening Ceremony. So that was it? The athletes ambled around the track, the flame(s) were lit and a load of British acts performed out of tune. As for the lighting of the flame; what a load of nonsense. I saw Sir Steve Redgrave light his torch and thought they had, for once, made a sensible choice. But then passing it round the sprogs? Links to this post. So that was it?

A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Tuesday, 25 December 2012. Merry Christmas. I hope everyone has an excellent day however they spend it. Links to this post. Friday, 21 December 2012. Perhaps they can go in the post-Christmas leftover curry! Hope everyone out there is well. More posts to follow soon. Links to this post. Sunday, 16 December 2012. As a result of this I have fallen heir to a suede jacket, leather jacket, cashmere overcoat and ...

A Stream of Consciousness: Zippos Circus
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2013/04/zippos-circus.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Friday, 12 April 2013. Despite my initial ambivalence, I loved it. As I said, the whole show was fantastic. The performers engaged in suitably impressive feats of strength, gymnastic ability, horsemanship and daring. This was topped off by a ringmaster who was the perfect, slightly camp, exuberant showman. The other acts were brilliant too however, as I said, I don't want to spoil the surprise if you go....

A Stream of Consciousness: Wind Turbines
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2013/04/wind-turbines.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Monday, 1 April 2013. The British countryside is infected with an horrendous disease. A scourge that is gradually destroying it. It's not ash dieback disease nor is it foot and mouth or any other livestock plague. Worse than that, the problem in question is entirely of our own doing. What I am referring to is the recent rash of wind turbines. Left wing fun police. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Stream of Consciousness: Why Can't Women Dress?
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2013/05/why-cant-women-dressis-essential.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Tuesday, 21 May 2013. Why Can't Women Dress? I have written before about the questionable sartorial choices of men. It is called underwear for a reason. Other girls decided to follow suit. Unfortunately for them, as well as being admired, they were subject to much school playground sniggering. Shoes are another area where are a lot of young women fall down (literally). While moderate heels are perfectly...

A Stream of Consciousness: March 2013
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Wednesday, 27 March 2013. Fortunately the government seem to have beaten me to it (a bit) with proposed NHS reforms that they revealed today. At the moment I am agreeing with less and less of what the government does, despite being broadly Tory. I don't fully agree with the reforms as they have been suggested but they've taken a big step in the right direction. One part of the report is a bit half-cocked is...

A Stream of Consciousness: Getting Old
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2013/04/getting-old.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Thursday, 4 April 2013. It's official, I'm getting old. This phrase is used a lot as a joke. Talk of 'senior moments' abounds when someone forgets something obvious. But is it a joke? I frequently quip that I'm a grumpy old man in training. My mum calls me her young fogey. How does this manifest itself? Why have I started noticing it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Goodbye to a good man. View my comple...

A Stream of Consciousness: June 2012
http://thoughtsofanormalbloke.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
A Stream of Consciousness. The random ramblings of my mind and my thoughts on the world around me. Thursday, 21 June 2012. The Marches Mystery Solved. I grew up in a small town called Linlithgow. The town its self is centuries old and boasts a suitably distinguished historical record. Mary Queen of Scots was born there, Robert Burns joined the freemasons there and (for any Star Trek fans out there) Scotty was born there. Lo and behold I did along with a full title. A quick search later suggest, the m...
