Not normally political

I’m not normally political in this blog but those French do gooders who are now in jail in Chad after attempting to kidnap loads of children from Chad deserve all they get.

 

I find looking at a man with a pony tail a bit of a trial so when I saw one of those do gooders with a sculpted beard and a pony tail I thought, just what do they think they are doing roaming the world looking like that and thinking that they have the right to take others’ children because they think they are better than the children’s parents and family?

 

The story seems to be that the children were being “rescued” from potential misery and death in Darfur in the Sudan. We were also led to believe that the children were orphans. It turns out that very few of the children are orphans and their parents say they were duped into letting their children go.

 

Can you imagine what you would feel like if someone took it into their silly little pony tailed head (on women pony tails can look very attractive!) that they knew best and took your child or children for a life with them in another country to which you will probably never have access ... ? Ask the McCanns and other deprived parents what that feels like.

 

Now there are even more do gooders who are bleating that these people should serve their sentences in France and that some of the sentences were too harsh. Send them to France and they could well be released early. President Sarkozy has already interfered in two such cases since he became President and no doubt these people are waiting for him to hop off to Chad too.

 

Let them rot in Chad, I say and let them think carefully before they do something as stupid again.

Further car issue

So, after having slashed two tyres and then waiting for me to buy a new battery, the bleeders have stolen my car. I got back home last night from my first visit to Turf Moor in years and left the car in its usual spot outside the house. When I got up this morning I saw a space where the car should have been.

 

The Plods are on the case and I’m waiting for action from the insurance company now.

 

What do I think of these people? Can’t say in polite society.

Drinking top tip

This is not original but it might be a timely reminder for many but possibly too late for others.

 

If you want to open a bottle of wine, make sure you have a corkscrew available.

 

The lovely bottle of wine Dima brought to the Xmas dinner table will be opened today, Boxing Day. Andrew had brought some wine and Guinness so he saved the day as no corkscrew was needed for either of them!
