Daily Mash - "Britain kicks itself in b*locks again" AND it is Friday the 13th

Satire by the way is not dead in this country, try  reading the Daily Mash! though they can get near the knuckle....

Let me start: By congratulating the conservative candidate who took Bolsover from Skinner overnight.  I do really think at the age of 87 years old that Skinner has had his day.  But the warm conciliatory speech of the conservative winner (still don't know his name) made me think, gosh they have polite and caring people in that party.  It was all a great win for that party - shame of course but Corbyn has not shown one iota of where he wanted to go over the last few years and he has paid the price.  

Johnson is prattling more dreams in the air on the radio, and all I can say to my country - you have got what you wanted, now pray the lying git holds true ;)

Now to more parochial affairs, I might even say climatic.  The strong winds of a couple of days ago blew down an electricity pole in our neighbouring village, so now a string of generators grace the verges outside the village hall.  Going out shopping yesterday, came back along the road only to be greeted by the inevitable 'Road Closed'.  So I diverted around the single tracked back lanes with confidence because I knew them. But these narrow lanes bounded by grass verges and deepish ditches became a nightmare, mud on the tarmac from the tractors and deep ruts in the verges where people had pulled over.  Alright when there is no traffic it is fine but having to squeeze past large cars and vans was worrying, almost lost it when the car got into a spin but luckily no one was there.  I think it will be wise to stock up just in case we get locked in to our homes by unforeseen circumstances......
