'Life is sharp', I was told today.

It felt wrong but I said nothing at the time.

Tonight, I am reminded of other descriptions of Life.

Life is shit.
Life hurts.
Life is boring.
Life kills.
Life is hard.

When life is mentioned it is usually in the negative.

Life is wonderful.
(Though how we live it leaves a lot to be desired.)

If Life is NOT a pleasure,
we would benefit from changing the way we LIVE it.

We only have one.
Embrace it.

I notice Professor Adam Fairclough, has published another book on the Civil Rights Movement in America.

He dedicates the book to my late partner, Siabreen.
A name he would not acknowledge when she was alive.

I find that truly offensive;
as I am sure she would.

What about Grace's Civil Rights, Professor ?
What about her Fathers Rights ?

Hypocrite !

Any one using the 3 mobile network ?

Well, I have been for nearly a year now, with no complaints.

Until last month, when 3 charged me for a game that I didnt download.
I pointed this out and they told me I would get a refund, this month.
Sorted.

Along came the amended bill, which I happily paid.

Reading through my Bank statement, 3 had taken two lots of money !
I have been charged twice.

It appears that once you complain to your network, real shit happens.

This is Theft.
Criminal Theft.

Anyone else have the same thing happen ?

My parcel has finally been delivered - yahoo.

What a nightmare.

Also a large learning curve.
I am remembering to express my feelings;
and learning (still) to 'let go and let God'.

Shit happens and, as long as no-one is hurt,
whats the problem ?

So Thank You, DHL, for giving me the opportunity to remember this.
Gary Schaffer, the MD of DHL, could use this lesson as an opportunity for change, too.

Stop lying to customers.

Employ people rather than the self employed system their drivers are forced into.

Only employ people who know the areas they will be delivering.

And Management to start taking responsibility.

Go on, Gary. Lead the way.

DHL

They lied to me again !

My parcel did not arrive today.
As promised.

One week for an 'overnight' delivery is unacceptable.
As is lying.

What is worse is another delivery is now overdue.

Come on, DHL.
Do what you have been paid to do.

Give me my bloody parcels.

Last Thursday, I ordered a load of Motorcycle parts off one of our suppliers.
It was put on an 'overnight delivery'; but 5 days later DHL have still not delivered.

Monday, my friend phoned DHL and was informed that it was being delivered that day.

DHL lied to him.

I rang them this afternoon and they lied to me too.

If DHL told me the truth, I could explain to my customers and sort out other bikes to repair.

It is such a BLOODY wind up.

Tell the truth, DHL.
I can handle 'we are busy.youll get it friday.

I cant handle liars.

There, I have said it.

The 10th March, 2008, will be the day the USA officially declares War with Iran.

Shamefully, my Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will support the Bush administration.
Another ILLEGAL war !

It is no coincidence that the Haifia Oil Pipeline will begin to flow and create more power for Jordan, around the same time.

(Im sorry. Did I say Jordan ?
I meant ISRAEL.)

250,000 visitors to my Lycos blog.

A Big Thank You to Lycos

and to ALL vistitors there and here.

Love+light to you+yours.

For over a week, I have been suffering pain with my teeth.
The gums appear to have exploded and become infected.

'Dentist', my friends shouted.
'Fuck Off', I mumbled.

I finally visited one today.
For the first time I didnt tremble with fear,
nor leave a puddle of sweat on the chair.

Ever since childhood, I have been in fear of Dentists.
It appears I may have conquered this, finally.

I hope I am more sure in a weeks time.

Just that !

An hour ago, I was battling my way through traffic on the Edgware Road, when I noticed an attractive blonde texting on her mobile.

I didnt say anything. The sun was shining and I thought what the hell.

A few seconds later, she drove over my foot, ignorant of my presence on the road.

She ignored me when I asked what she was doing.
Ignored me again when I asked for an apology.

I smashed her valance with my foot. Stupid bitch.

The law bans the use of mobiles in cars for a reason.

It is distracting and causes accidents.

When will car drivers learn that the roads are for everyone, not the selfish few ?
