Winston Churchill's Battle of Britain Speech - Royal Air Force Museum

We Honour The few

This is the 70th anniversary of the Battle Of Britain. I want to pay my tribute to those men and women who fought valiently against Hitlers Luftwaffe to preserve the freedom we now enjoy today.
We must give our utmost thanks to those few who fought in the skies above England in September 1940. Their bravery is a lesson to us all

had a nice text chat with my friend Frank on PS. There is a hotmail room there and you can chat using text. Brilliant

Just had a rather wird converstion with my PS3 friend Janine on PS Home tonight. Completely out of the blue she started telling me of her thoughts about people from other countries living in Germany. She was telling me that Germany should be for the Germans alone and that Germany is the father land. People go their and take German money out of the country. The poles, turks, Romainians etc. she was worrying me and i made my excuses and left. Those were Nazi ideologies and she actually believed herself to be a nazi and a proud german. I really do not know whether to remain her friend or call it quits

It is pouring with rain here and I am really content. It is my day off and the rain means I can stay indoors and do nothing and not feel guilty about it

Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers

Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers

Well, thats another work week finished. it was actually quite busy tonight. After my colleague Dari finished and went home the deliveries came in quick and fast. When he left i had 11 deliveries and finished with 24. The rain came on and I think that was a contributing factor for the rate of deliveries. Never mind, thats me on my two days off. Time to play some Playstation.

Rui's daughter is starting university today so he will not be available for chatting at 4pm as per the norm but hopefully he will be back for our game of Tiger 10 and our chat on PS Home this evening. Time will tell.

Just reshuffled my furniture in my sitting room. I am trying to create a better ying and yang for the coming winter

Sunday at last. It has felt like an extreamly long week this week. Tomorrow is my two days off and I fully intend to make the most of them.

Have you Forgotten? September 11th Tribute- 9/11 Remembrance

9/11

Today marks the 9th aniversary of the horrific events that occurred in New York on 11 September 2001. It will forever be a day etched on my mind as I sat in my home at lunch time unable to believe my eyes at what was happening. 4 planes attacking the Free world, two crashing into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the pentagon and one into the American countryside after the passengers overpowered the terrorists.

It was a day that completely changed the world we live in today.

Even now when I watch reruns of events on TV I still cant believe the death and destruction. I find tears in my eyes every time I see the collaps of the twin towers.

We must never forget the people who lost their lives on 9/11 but we must also try to move on. Surely it must be time for humans to try to live in harmony with each other, no matter what side of the earth we come from.

Sir Alex Ferguson remembers Jock Stein: Full video interview | STV Sport

25 years ago on the 10 September 1985, Scottish Football lost one of its greatest sons. Former Celtic and Scotland manager Jock Stein, while managing Scotland in their final qualifier for Mexico 86 had a heart attack at the final whistle and tragically passed away. The game had been full of tension and Sootland had been trailing 1.v.0 to Wales. We needed at least a draw to allow us a place in the play offs. With 7 minutes to play Big Jock made a vital substitution taking off Gordon Strachan and replacing him with Davie Cooper. It was a master decision because Scotland were awarded a penalty kick which in the most incredible pressure scored to give Big Jock and Scotland the draw that they most dearly wished for. The tension was too great for the Big Man and on the final whistle Big Jock Collapsed and died.

Big Jock was one of the greatest Managers to have graced the scottish game and left a big hole in which to fill.

To anyone with Scottish football in their soul Jock Stein was and always will be a legend. We all miss him whether we are Celtic, Rangers or any other Clubs supporters.

Mr Stein we miss you, and Scottish Football misses you. Rest in Peace Big Man

Oh well, its nearly 5pm and I start at 530pm, so I guess I had better get going to work. No rest for the wicked hahaha

BBC News - US Koran-burning protests sweep Afghanistan

BBC News - US Koran-burning protests sweep Afghanistan

I just want to have a little comment today, on this pastor in Florida, who is wanting to burn 200 Korans,(apologies for the spelling). What exactly does he thing he is trying to do. In an unstable world with mistrust between both sides of the divide, he is just going to ignite a whole lot of tension in the World. Especially at this time of the year, when the anniversay of 9/11 is looming large. Not only will it put the lives of American troops at risk in Afghanistan, it will put normal civilian lives at risk across the globe. It will open up an already gaping wound between the Muslim world and the western world. In fact if he stops to think about things in a civilised manner, then his own life will be in jeapardy. He need to cool it and forget this nonsense for the sake of peace and stability. Muslims in general are peaceful living people. It is only a select few of radicals that want to cause death and destruction.

I just want to comment on the news today that the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron lost his father today. Now, I am not by any stretch of the imagionation a Cameron supported in his politics but you can only feel grief for the man. Only last year his handicapped son passed away then he had a little baby girl a couple of weeks ago and just when he was looking so happy now this. His father hadnt even saw his new Grandchild. As I said even although my politics differ from his, you have to have a very cold heart not to feel sad for Mr Cameron.

I had a quiet day at work and for a change there wasnt too much tension. I have had my fill of tension in that crazy job. It is making me ill and enough is enough.

Today until 7pm it was very quite for deliveries. I had only done 2 by 7pm. However it picked up and by the end of the night I finished with 22. Not too bad in the end

Scotland v Liechtenstein

Watched the Euro qualifier between Scotland and Liechtenstein highlights (or rather lowlights) on TV. Scotland had a poor game and were extremly lucky. It took them till the final corner kick for Steven McManus to score our winner with a header. They scored first and things were looking extremly bleak until Kenny Miller scored with a cracking shot. A draw was of no use to us so when we scored the winner it was total relief all round. But in essence it should never have been like that. We should really be putting those teams away more easily. We had a wee break when we heard that Lithuania had beaten the Czech Republic away from home. Looking at the table it shows us at the top. of the table. If only that was the case come the end of the qualifiers. Somehow I have my doubts.

Had a chat with Rui, on PS Home tonight. We seem to have sorted the misunderstanding out. Hopefully we can get on with our friendship now.

I dont feel too well today. I have a sore stomach and a very painful headache. I woke at 10am and felt so bad I went back to bed. The weather is very bad here. Storms here last night and today it is dark and raining.

I am so tired of the internet tonight. i was playing Tiger with rui, and I was disconnected. I went to go to PS Home and couldnt connect, then when I did connect I was disconnected from there too. I made Rui angry with me. I went to my cricket game and went to play online for the very first time but I was disconnected from there too. my computer was going really slow last night. Frank and I had a disagreement today. I sent Rui a nasty email which I now regret but the damage may be done. I tried to connect to the playstation network but it would sign me in. I had to sign in manually. I start to wonder what its all about my life. I have no happiness. I find happiness on the net with a couple of guys I met and now that has been jeapordised. I am totally fed up and alone with nothing to live for and nothing to look forward to except many years of solitude and heartache

The end of the week at last

I awoke this morning late, at around 1115am. for some reason I couldnt fall asleep last night. I was still awake at around 530am.

I went on the staff run at 130pm, and I encountered a truly mind blowing piece of laziness. i have seen in my life some lazy things but this was incredible. I was asked to drop a guy off at the company workshop. Now to get there you must go around the bypass. So he was a young fit guy, so I said I would drop him at the end of the road. I got in reply no, no it is too far because I have many things to carry. I had to go arounfd the bypass, wasting petrol and time so that he could be dropped off. I said "Ill drop you off here then", "no no" he replied "further, further". I sais "out here", and when he got out the car, do you know what he was carrying, that was oh so heavy. A PIECE OF PIPE measuring probably 8 inches in length. Can you believe it. Andf this was so heavy!! I could not believe it. An incredible piece of laziness.

Anywaymy boss had told me that I would be finishing early so I was making plans for what I would do. Get a chinese meal, come home watch some tv meet my friend Frank on PS. Then all of a sudden he blasted my plans straight out of the water. No thought for me at all. Now if he had said to me, sorry but today you must work full shift then I would have been able to understand. It was the lies he told me, and the sniggering way he does it. They laugh at you behind your back and the chatter away in Punjabi so they can talk about you. That kind of thing really gets my back up. They treat you like a school kid rather than a grown up adult. So there I was getting used to the fact that I was now having do do a full shift, and getting my head together when they bring another driver to help. Guess what. He says that he is doing full shift and that I can go home early after all. Now again I must adjust my thoughts and was just getting used to the news when all of a sudden the second driver comes to me and says that he has changed his mind and now he wants to finish early. OMG I was so angry. You know they think they can treat me any way they like. I mean to say, this is my life, not a game they are playing. I was so fed up I said go then go. If you are so desperate then go. So here I am again having to adjust my thoughts and feelings when the area manager arrives. He asks me how I am and is everything ok. I say to him, actually everything is not ok. He asks me what is wrong and i tell them I have been messed about all night. I told him I was totally fed up. I said if they would just say one thing and stick to it and not tell me all this lies then it would have been cool. So he called the other guy over and said that he had finished the previous two nights early, and now it was my turn. So to cut a long story short I was off home.

Now if we go back a night, I didnt get my wages for the staff run, so I told the area manager this too. He took the money out of his own pocket, and gave it to me. Now he is a guy I can respect. Not like these other idiots.

I went to tiger golf to meet my friend Frank there, and OMG another misunderstanding. I thought he was online playing and I left many messages for him. Turns out he wasnt in the room. Again we got our wires crossed. however we got things sorted out in the end.

Tomorrows my day off so I will be hoping to meet Rui, online tomorrow, and play some playstation with him and with Frank. Off to bed for me now. it is sooo late. 512am omg

Another Saturday

Hi. Today I rose around 11am as always. After checking my email I got dressed and ready for the staff run. Coming back from the staff run I emailed my friend Rui and twittered my other friend Frank. They are both fantastic friends to me and I am glad to call them friends.

I started my work at 4pm and I thought we would be reletively quiet today. Oh how wrong I was. Right from the very beginning the deliveries came in fast and furious. In 2 hours I had done 11 deliveries. Crazy. My colleagues tonight were Dari, and Imran. Everything went smoothly and at 9pm I asked my boss if it was time for me too go home. He said yes so I cashed up and got my wages. However my wages were £25 short. I informed the boss and he said I would get them tomorrow. This is supposed to be a professional company. It really is not good enough them forgetting to pay me the full amount due. The company is so corrupt. I will bet that if I hadnt said anything they also wouldnt have said anything and God knows if I would have gotten the right money.

Talking about money, the big news is that the tax people have made a huge mistake and now they say that one quarter of a million residents in the UK underpaid their tax and they will be getting letters to say that they will have to pay close on £2000 each. However on the other hand they say that 4 million people overpayed and they will be getting a refund. What an absolute shambles. Everyone will be worrying now. who has to pay, and how will they be able to afford it, and who will be the lucky ones. Knowing my luck. I will have to pay money back. Just how I will be able to do this I just dont know.

However. Tonight when I got home I had a couple of games of Tiger 11, and Tiger 10 PS3 golf with my friend Frank. Very enjoyable it was too.

Now it is 0350am and I think it is time for my bed

The Weekend is here

Well, here we go. Friday again. Today is the day that Scotland start their quest for qualification for Euro 2012. I really hope they can qualify.

I am just out of bed and the first thing I did was check my emails and I received one from Rui. I returned his email and am now going to have breakfast. I got a message through saying that I had a comment on one of the videos I posted on You Tube. The first of many I hope.
......
I have just returned from the staff run. What a glorious day it is here. I hope it isnt the summer saying goodbye.
I want to make a comment on the guy who is the manager of the shop where I work. You know, I dont know whether he is just an impolite man or whether the stress of the job is taking over his job but everyone else who comes into my car always says hello, and goodbye when they get in and out. This manager man very rarely says hello and goodbye. In all the journey he barely speaks to me. They talk amongst themselves in Punjabi and completely leave me out of their conversations. This alienates me and is it any wonder I get angry at them.

Anyway forget about them. I would really like to sit outside in the sunshine but I dont know where to go. I do not start work until 6pm today and the idea of me sitting in this dark flat while the sun shines outside seems all wrong to me. I will have some lunch then I will go out, even if it is just to sit in my car and read a book or something. The problem is that I need to keep an eye on the time but I do not own a watch.
.........

I decided to take my car and find a nice spot to park, in the sun. I opened my windows and closed my eyes. There isnt too many thinks than closing your eyes and falling asleep in the sunshine.

I went to work at 6pm and suprisingly for me, it wasn't very busy. I thought it would be a whole lot busier what with the football being on. It did get a little busier around the time of the final whistle. The last hour of the night was quite busy and by that time I was on my own as the other two drivers had, by this time went home. Honestly, I cannot believe the number of people who eat all that heavy food in the early hours of the morning. Surely it cannot be good for their health eating all that rubbish at 1am. In fact, believe it or not the last delivery was a 27 inch pizza, to a party of young people at 130am. It was a pain for me because this meant I was late in finishing. I don't know who is the more greedier. The people who order pizzas at 130am or the boss who only sees £££££££ and completely forgets about the staff wanting to go home.

Now the football. Scotland had a very poor night tonight. I honestly thought they would win away at Lithuania. However they could only manage a nil, nil draw. This means that they must go to prague, next month and get something from Czech Republic, because its odds on that the Czechs will go to Lithuania and win. We must win all our home games also, but we have Spain in our group and the chances of the Scots beating Spain, either away or at Hampden Park are extreamly slim. Spain will win the group, of that there is no doubt. Scotland must battle with the Czechs for second spot.

When I eventually arrived home I had a little food and settled down to watch my favourite programme on TV, MEDIUM. and now it is time to go to bed as I am very tired.

Hello again

Its been some time since I last posted an entry in my diary. This summer has been tough for me. Work has been difficult and my mind has been mixed up, but I feel that things have worked themselves right and it is time to get my life back on track.

The weather today is absolutly wonderful here in Central Scotland. The sun is shining and it is really quite warm for this time of the year. Makes you feel happy in weather like this.

Also today I am really happy because my friend from Portugal, Rui, has at last received his Playstation3 system back from the repair guys. At long last we can continue our friendship on PS. I have 2 really dear friends on PS, Rui, and Frank from America.

Today I watched a documentary on the great snooker player Alex Higgins. Alex died earlier this year and this programme was a reflection on his life and career. It was so sad to see the way his life developed and the eventual way he died.

I have returned from taking the staff to work and had some food and now it is time to go myself to work. Oh well thats life, i suppose

..............................................................................................

Well thats my work day over. Today was quite busy. I did 24 deliveries and there were 2 drivers working. Imran finished around 10pm. It was a fantastic day for weather. It was a pleasure to be out driving in weather like that. I didnt have to take the manager to the Head Office tonight as the area manager took him. I took the Grangemouth contingent home instead which was good for me as I was going in that direction anyway. When I got home I checked my emails and tweets. It was a pleasure to see that Rui had sent a lovely email and tweet, and Frank also sent a lovely email. After eating I emailed them both back.

Scotland begin their Euro 2012 campaign with a match againt Lithuania tomorrow night. It will be a very tough group but I have a feeling, and really you must be optimistic, that we will eventually qualify for a major tournament. It has been far too long and we must eventually come out of Englands nasty dark shadow. We have the world champions, Spain in our group and we also have the Czech Republic, but I feel we have the players capable of finishing second in the group. First place I think is one step too far. Spain are too strong.

Oh well another day over. Time for bed
