Dear Lovelies,

Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas - and have a fab 2009!

First day back for most people which can’t be easy - especially in the snow!

I suppose if you like it - you’re OK. Personally - I hate it!

Roll on Spring :-)

Dear Lovelies,

Only ten days to go before Christmas!! I am so excited - I can’t wait!!! I love this time of year. I love all the decorations - the wonderful Christmas music humming in my hears as I browse the shops, the shops bursting with tempting sales, people full of festive cheer and good will - everyone being so nice to eachother…..Oh the buzz and excitement…..

Frankly - I can’t bear it! I have never hidden the fact that I find Christmas a depressing time of year. I hate hearing people go on and on about how much they love it. I mean what’s to love? For heaven’s sake it’s about the birth of Jesus. So let’s rejoice the saviour’s birth and remember what he was put on earth to do.

Incidentally - what I never cease to be amazed by are the multitudes who celebrate Christmas - who are not even Christian; never enter a Church nor teach their kids about the nativity!

The hype and hysteria of present buying has escalated to epidemic proportions, and the mania around just ONE day is past ridiculous. It’s an abomination. People spend far too much on trying to keep up with the Jones’ and stretching their finances to the brink of suicide. Is it all worth it?

I doubt it.

I can understand it’s a time when many people will have time off to spend with ‘family’ - although that too has it’s own dangers! But to eat and drink in excess - why? Don’t people eat during the year? Why the need to stock up as though there was no tomorrow? You just get ill - and most people (let’s be honest) can do without the extra pounds! What a waste. Why be so greedy?

I just don’t get the need for over eating & drinking - over spending and then over-promising never to do it again - until the next year, that is.

If anyone wants to make me happy this Christmas - if anyone would care to know what I would really like this year and any other year then PLEASE - make a donation to the RSPCA or to the Blue Cross - or sponsor a guide dog or any of the numerous animal charities - and you will do something immensely useful. And I promise you - you will come away feeling enriched knowing that you’ve helped one of God’s little (or big) creatures.

Now that’d be something really useful and charitable - and in the spirit of Christmas! Thank you

What else? Oh yes - X Factor. Well - I’m so happy that Alexandra Burke won - she truly deserved to. What a fantastic voice, and what a beautiful girl - inside and out. Just not terribly keen on the single they got her to release. Hopefully, she’ll bring out a great album next year and we’ll all rush out and make it No.1!

OK - that’s it from me for now. Will try and find something else to rant about soon. Until then - enjoy the week.

Dear Lovelies,

Hope you are all doing fine - getting in to the Christmas spirit. Form what I can tell - you lovelies are all the same - leaving things to the last minute! It’s madness out there so good luck!

A gorgeous lovely has sent me this joke which I loved - so am going to share with you….

Bullfrogs & Bl*w Jobs

A woman went into a store to buy her husband a pet for his birthday.

After looking around, she found that all the pets were very expensive.

She told the clerk she wanted to buy a Pet, but she didn’t want to spend a fortune.

‘Well’ said the clerk, ‘I have a very large bullfrog. They say it’s been trained to give bl*w jobs!’

‘Bl*ow jobs!’ the woman replied.

‘It hasn’t been proven, but we’ve sold 30 of them this month.’ he said.

The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and what if it’s true….no more bl*w jobs for her!

She bought the frog.

When she explained froggy’s ability to her husband, he was extremely sceptical and laughed it off!

The woman went to bed happy, thinking she may never need to perform this less than riveting act again.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of pots and pans flying everywhere, making hellacious banging and crashing sounds. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, only to find her husband and the frog reading cookbooks.

‘What are you two doing at this hour?’ she asked.

The husband replied, ‘If I can teach this frog to cook….you’re gone!’

Keep warm,

Hello my lovelies…
 
I have some very exciting news that I would like to share with you all.
 
As you may know I am a registered charity due to my work in the community helping those less fortunate than myself. Up until now, I have had to survive on the generosity of the people I have helped along the way. However, finally I have been recognised by the government for the work I do with those who have special needs…
 
I have been awarded the prestigious ”Therapeutic Charity of the Year” award… and as well as being recognised at an official function at No 10… the lottery commission has presented me with a very large donation for the coming year which I shall be using on my favourite lovelies who are most in need.
 
So if you receive an email from me in the coming week… then you have qualified for my Top 10 (To qualify for the Top 10 you will be my most frequent visitors and people I genuinely like) and will qualify for a government assisted massage…
 
I look forward to meeting my favourite lovelies… and to everyone else… I hope to see you often in the next year so that you qualify for my Top 10 list next year.
 
Thank you for your support…
 
Hugs & kisses

Dear Lovelies,

I am afraid I am annoyed again. Have you heard today about the Catholic Church’s proposals to introduce Muslim prayer rooms and specially adapted washrooms? Have they gone totally insane? (Article in today’s Daily Mail).

If it’s a Catholic School - what are MUSLIMS doing their in the first place? There used to be a principle rule that in order to be accepted into a Catholic School - you had to be a practising Catholic and your own priest had to confirm that you were known to him and attending Mass on Sunday’s. There had to be very good reason for a non-Catholic to join - and IF they did - then THEY conformed to the rules of the school and the practices of the Church.

This is just another example of how we in Britain are pandering to everyone else’s cultures and completely losing our own identity and beliefs. We are almost ashamed to stand up for what we are and what we believe in.

I have absolutely no doubt that no Mosque anywhere would adapt not a tiny square inch of their building for Christian worship - so why the other way round ALL THE TIME?

This is an abomination and an outrage. Will there be nothing left in this country that is not internationalised to pacify the minorities?

Please - I am not against different creeds or cultures carrying on with their beliefs - but each to their own and in their own place - You cannot keep watering and dumbing down our own for the peace of mind and advancement of a foreign culture. It’s just nonsense.

It’s one rule for one and one for another. The more we give in - the more we are expected to. I wish we could put a stop to this and just say NO. We need to turn around and say ‘Put Up and Shut Up - or Leave’ - because that’s what it’s like if when we go to their countries where we all know better than to make demands left, right and centre.

If as many people complained about all this lunacy as they appeared to find exception with Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand - then I am sure we would make some progress. We Brits are good at complaining about trivial or pointless causes and are not effectively vocal for what really matters.

Anyone agree? Disagree? Please let me know

Going to have a cup of tea now….sooth my nerves.

It seems the attachment (previous blog entry) has not worked AGAIN which is a shame coz it’s very good!

Dear Lovelies,

I wish I knew why simple things can get so complicated…Like copying and pasting a picture. Why do people who invent computers and things make them so stupid. I am not stupid. The machines are! Why is it that in order for me to paste a simple picture - it takes dozens of efforts of saving a file, copying it, changing the name, the location, the format, looking up the properties, finding compatabilities, reducing a size, etc etc etc…can somebody, anybody with an aptitude for putting it in simple terms (as jargon I believe is for people who don’t know what the hell they are talking about) explaian this to me please?

Anyway - now that I have got that off my chest - here is a funny I hope you can view - having tried several times and probably convinced everyone how thick and incapable I am - let’s hope it works THIS time. It was sent to me by a lovely - so many thanks to him.

Anyone out there calling themselves a computer programmer or whatever fancy name you’d like to call yourself - please do something about making life easier - instead of wasting every one’s time making things needlessly complicated and exasperating. Please. Do it for me if no one else. I have endured enough suffering in my life - I need some calm and simplicity in my dotage!

Many thanks,

With love, Issy xxx

p.s. if it STILL has not worked - pity - but you can blame those IT bods!

Dear Lovelies,

Thank you so much to those of you who have written to me this week - amusing me with your stories - and those who have given me feedback to my post on Monday. Thank you for your support!! BIg, big thanks, too, to those who have come to vist me so far this week.

Here’s a joke a lovely sent - enjoy. (Would someone be kind enough to tell me if it’s gone gobble-de-gook again! Thanks)

Three mice were sitting at a bar talking about how tough they

were.

The first mouse slams a shot and says, “I play with mouse traps

for fun. I’ll run into one on purpose and as it is closing on me,

I grab the bar and bench press it 20 to 30 times.” And, with that,

he slams another shot.

The second mouse slams a shot and says, “That’s nothing. I take

those poison bait tablets, cut them up, and snort them, just for

the fun of it.” And, with that, he slams another shot.

The third mouse slams a shot, gets up, and walks away.

The first two mice look at each other, then turn to the third

mouse and ask, “Where the hell are you going?”

The third mouse stops and replies, “I’m going home to screw the cat

Dear Lovelies,

Here are the thoughts and feelings of a special lovely who has asked me if I would consider posting on my blog. Having read through and agreed with it - I said YES.

No offence is meant. I am sure if anything - it echoes what most people feel - except most people are not brave enough to voice an opinion.

See what you think - I welcome your comments as always.

After hearing that many cities did not want to offend other cultures by putting up Xmas lights, so DIDN’T!

After hearing that the Birmingham council changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver’s licence with her face covered.

After hearing of a Primary School in Birmingham where a boy was told that for PE they could wear Football League shirts (Aston Villa, Birmingham, West Brom etc) but NOT an England shirt as it could offend others!

IMMIGRANTS. NOT BRITONS MUST ADAPT.

Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on London, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits.

However, the dust from the attacks has barely settled and the ‘politically correct’ crowd begin complaining about the possibility that our patriotism is offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.

This idea of England being a multicultural centre for community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Britons, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of wars, struggles, trials and victories fought by the untold masses of men and women who laid down their lives and of the millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If St.George’s cross offends you, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don’t care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.

But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our , Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I encourage you take advantage of one other great British freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.

You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU. Pretty easy really, when you think about it.

If we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, lets all try, please.
