Who named Trojan condoms?
The Trojan horse entered through the city gates, broke open and loads of little guys came out and fucked everyone's day up.
Doesn't fill me with confidence.
A wife asks her husband, a software engineer; "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get six!"
A short time later the husband comes back with six cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy six cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had eggs."
Stay happy friends....x

No Facebook No Problem
Well it's been a fair few weeks now that i have been clean, (off Facebook) and i have to tell you it has been a very good journey.
My relationship with my teenage crash cart kids has been better, maybe because i can see tensions building and can nip it in the bud before it blows into a cataclysmic shit storm, as before i would have been too preoccupied with Facebook to have noticed or cared.
One of chases friends has written to her and told her that this blog has influenced her to cut down the time that she spends on Facebook and start to interact with other people and hopefully make her more confident in the big wide world!
When i started this blog nade and i had a disagreement about this blog and i said "if i only get one person to look at the harm that Facebook causes and they change their online habits and interact with other humans then i will be happy".
Nades going through a tough time at the moment as her father is seriously ill and is staying in Birmingham with her family.
until next time fellow humans. x

Hello life
It's been a while since i last posted, one of the reasons for this is the P.C. does not go on too much these days and to say the comment box is empty would be an understatement, so the motivation to post dries up quite quickly.
So im well up on current affairs at the moment and i have decided that all the political parties lie so much they think we really do believe them, i think all mp's and ministers are deluded to the point of distraction.
They can only fool themselves for so long, hang on, try this for size, if we submerge our lives neck deep in technology and media tech devices then we become passive and unconcerned with the flow of lies and corruption that spews from the government and its mouthpiece newspapers all of most of whom work for one man Rupert Merdoch who has had dinner with Cameron on many occasions. Danger Danger.....!
on a more light hearted note, i played football this afternoon with Brodie and to be honest every single muscle aches right now, even typing hurts....!
if i get a few comments i will carry on posting.
Much love x

Making a difference?
So a week has gone by with no facebook and to be honest it's not been too bad, Firstly my passion for knowledge has gone up considerably and the in depth conversations I have with Nade and the kids has increased, and to top it off we have received a few E-mails to say thank you because we inspired others to limit the time they are on facebook or stop using facebook all together and use the time for more creative or meaningful activities.
I have been on my bike this week and to be frank the seat is best described as cock numbing ball breaker that makes the whole genital area seem like its under general anaesthetic , but still, it's exercise......!
Salad three times a day with a cranberry juice chaser, it certainly keeps me regular and I seem to be loosing some of the festive excess that made It's way to my waste.
My father brought me a book titled The winter of disconnect, It's about a family that disconnects from all forms of technology for six months and what effect it had on there lives, Nade and the kids are terrified that I might do the same thing......hmmmm to be honest I would love to but I seriously think I would have a bucket load of trouble making It's way swiftly in my direction.
Oh one thing, Chase my daughter had her bike stolen from college, and the first thing I thought of was to put a photo of the bike on our facebook and offer a reward, but only Brodie has an account now so he did it for us, all we got back was LOL and yeah its in my back garden Brodie...TWATS

Sponge bob
Hello and welcome to a world with no facebook, as the title says sponge bob, I need to tell you It's still as awesome as when I first watched it, the rain has been non stop down here, that and most of our friends have tonsillitis flu or colds so were stuck in the house.
The T.V. has been on today and flicking through our listing I saw sponge bob, it made me laugh out loud, I do find trying to write without abbreviating quite an odd thing now, LOL, PMSL, BRB, LMAO, GTG....all gone out of the window, I was listening to radio 5 a while back and an employer was talking about how they gave training places to 100 young school leavers, out of the 500+ applicants over a quarter used Abbreviation Text style and were discarded, apparently over 30 of them failed to know the difference in their surname and Christian name, with respect to this I think facebook does not help and pull my kids up about using text Abbreviation quite a lot..... all I can say is thank goodness for spell checker.
So Nade and I are talking more, and when I say talking I mean politics, government, religion cricket and football, so all is good there, although Nade is being very accommodating I do think I should maybe talk about some of the things she is interested in, truth is I don't know but look forward to finding out.
that's all for now folks, the cricket is on and we want to watch England win the ashes in style.
Go Sponge Bob...!

Gone....!
Well it's gone, I have deactivated my facebook account. Lets see how we get on with our new found freedom, although Nadine and I have a difference of opinion about the content of this blog it has already thrown up more conversation on the subject than I could ever imagine.
Maybe It's the very first thing that is different in our lives, by not having a facebook account we finally agree to disagree about something.
I love you Nade.....x

Trepidation
So, with only 1 1/2 to go before I shut down my facebook account down I'm getting a sense of trepidation. Every time I have been on it today I'm thinking 'Hum, this is my last day on facebook for a good while', I'm going to miss all the bullshit, funny jokes and photographs of my friends doing stuff with their lives, but I am very much looking forward to challenging myself and I know Nadine feels the same.
I'm also looking forward to improving my grammar and spelling (Which I was really bad at when I was young)
See you all on the flip side folks.
