I make no apology for re-blogging this. I know these are US posters but the sentiment of them and this blog applies to just about any country. Certainly the patriotism that is missing in America is also missing from the UK.

Also I just plain like the posters.

WW II Posters Found"

I know some of you are too young to recall these posters and WWII, but they were a part of some of our lives and others who are now "older than dirt". These are great.

Pass them along, especially to your older e-mail friends.

I wonder whatever happened to this kind of thinking.

I got a lump in my throat when I read this. I "grew up" thinking: patriotism, it is the AMERICAN way! I am glad to see that somebody saved them. The statement at the end says it all!

~These were our parents ~

What in God’s name have we let happen?
I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like these!

Whatever happened?

It’s called…………………………
Political correctness (or "re-education") happened,
Lack of God’s name happened,
Lack of personal responsibility happened,
Lack of personal integrity and honesty happened,

Zombies take over Portsmouth’s streets


This is not new news. You only have to go in to the city anytime Pompey are playing at home. You see hoards of them marching towards Fratton Park.

Dentists


Dentists are not my favourite people.  I guess they probably aren’t at the top of anybodies list. Goes with the territory.

Today they dropped to an all time low in my estimation.

I was due to have a wisdom tooth extracted this morning. Having made the , long overdue, appointment. After much nagging from Gerry.  I had prepared myself for the potential pain to come.

On arrival at the surgery I was informed that the dentist was on her way. They didn’t know where she was, but she was coming. So I sat in the waiting room.

Tick tock….Tick tock….. time passing slowly, not even the TV on to provide a distraction.

Then I am informed that the missing dentist has sent a text to the practice manager.

She’s in bloody Roumania. Nobody knew she was going. The surgery has a whole week of appointments, including mine, but no bloody dentist to service them.

So morning wasted.

The Compulsory Drugs Test


I received this by e-mail from a friend. It was, apparently, written by a British Soldier- What he says makes a lot of sense!

I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay , I train for war and eventually deploy. I am required to pass a random urine test… for drugs, with which I have no problem. … What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to EARN IT for them? Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque? Please pass this along if you agree or simply delete it if you don’t. Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in the UK !!!
