The council have been and tidied up.looks nice now doesn't it ?.

Litter and often.

This was the sight greeting me at the end of the road today.Bin bags full of letters,food and waste all over the road.The council have been looking through it to work out whos been dumping it,I hope they wind a few hefty fines into them.

I don't believe it !.

Funny sort of a day.
The other night i posted some auctions on ebid.
I've put plenty of stuff on there over the years and without realising it one of the things I posted brought the total number of items on the site up to 3,000,000.As a result I won a prize in a competition i didn't even know I was entering.I got some e-mails from people and one from the auction site but I was convinced they were scams or some sort of joke.Finally the site got in touch with me and sent the payment.Never has my flabber been so ghasted.
I like ebid with its laid back approach and its low fees but to get this sort of bonus is pretty mind blowing.
They say there's no such thing as a free lunch,maybe but this is the closest thing to it
Thanks Ebid.

Did Victorians play Bingo ?.

This is what I can't understand about this town.I'm supposed to be in the middle of a conservation area.All around me are plastic windows,doors,advertising signs and placards and satellite dishes .I can't as much alter anything without permission,I can't have a car or van deliver to the shop let alone park outside and to obtain any planning consent etc is like getting blood out of a stone.

Yet the bingo hall can stick up contraptions like this and the big wigs in the council give them their own private pick up and put down area and a coach park right outside.

How can that sign be part of a conservation area,did the Victorians play bingo ?

Should I join the Masons?.

The erection just gets bigger.

The construction at SLP just gets bigger and bigger.The latest bit to be added is the box (presumably accomodation) on the top to the right.

Apparently this is some sort of transformer,all part of the 'green' renewable energy movement.

Wheres King Canute when you need him

I took the dogs for their constitutional but there wasn't much beach to explore with the tide nearly up to the wall.At last that means few people about,so its nice and quiet only the seagulls to make a noise.
Every so often our local paper carries letters from people complaining about the noise sea gulls make and asking that they be killed (they call it culling,it sounds better).They really need to get a grip,seagulls live by the sea side,the clue is in their names ,SEAgulls.

Tony Blair president of Europe.

I've been busy lately but this caught me eye..... Petition to Stop Blair becoming president of europe.
I don't suppose anyone would oppose this lying,conniving,greedy,grabbing,hypocrytical,warmongering cheat a multi million pound unelected job with his horrendous wife hanging on his coat tails as the gravy train picks up speed.
But,if the do they could sign this petition.

You can't have too much bling

More bling on the poor old taxi.Chrome bumpers front and back.More bling, just sex on wheels.

More hold ups than Dick Turpin.

An ambulance,blue lights flashing helplessly waits as another boat heads out to sea.Lets hope the patient waiting for the ambulance didn't mind waiting while Capn Pugwash meanders on his way.
A couple of hours later an another sailing boat splutters and farts its way out to sea,the bridge duly rises and half of Lowestoft splutters and farts its way to a halt.

Lowestoft more Jam than Hartleys.

For some time I've been thinking of going out and selling tea and snacks to the drivers stuck in Lowestofts traffic jams.
Since the folly of the sunrise scheme we now get a better class of jam the trustrated delivery drivers and the motorists who've been driving round and round for hours trying to find a place to park or escape the place all add to its cosmopolitan flavour.






Things to do in a Lowestoft traffic jam.
1.Start writing a novel or a letter to Aunt Maude.
2.Learn to play chess or speak another language.
3.Pull faces in the rear view mirror at the driver in the car behind you.
4.Read the Bible or War and Peace.
5.Send the passenger off shopping,you'll not have moved far when they come back.
6.Count how many empty shops you can see.
7.Start on this years Christmas present list.
8.Try and work out what song the guy in front is singing along to.
9.Stare at him untill he turns round and feels silly.
10.Try not to think about how long before you can go wee wee.
