The Lily

Myself and Ger headed over to Birmingham last week, er, the weekend before last, for the Cake International Show in Birmingham.  It was great fun.  Mainly because we were like two school kids on tour.  Up half the night giggling and rearranging furtniture etc.  (I went upstairs on the Thursday night to find Ger standing in the chaos of the attic with her aerobed standing upright saying "It's never going to fit!!"  It did.  Eventually. But only after we'd gotten the bed wedged in the doorway and after we'd dragged it out of the doorway into an upright position before clearing away lots of books, a thomas the tank engine train and lots of cds and FLUMPING it onto the floor.  Cackle, everyone was in bed on the floor underneath us, and you know how the harder you try to stay quiet the more loud you become?  We were weak with laughing and noisy as hell with it.  The more we tried to stop giggling the worse we became).

Also got to bump into lots of fellow cakers and spend money!  I Had forgotten how much I l love spending money.  LOVE IT.  Love it so much I spent about £400 and something sterling.  But it's okay, it's for my business so it's not like spending real money.  Is it?  

Bought lots of stuff that, when I got home, was only a very little pile really.  A tiny pile once you took the Moose head out.  Ah well. 

We were disgustingly giddy.  

After the Friday show N took us to Costco where we did a weird kind've trolley dash and N then took my Batman book off me so she could give it to no. 2.  Pah, he loves that book.  It should've been from me!!!!  Myself and Ger bought lots of pretzels and marshmallows.  Shame no one would play chubby bunny with me.  I had an idea Ger wouldn't as marshmallows make her hyper but N wouldn't play.  Mind you, she had seen no. 3's chubby bunny video.  Enough said really.

Anyway, after Costco we were standing outside the house and N said something about bringing Ger's car in and parking it behind hers.  That much I heard because I was standing beside N.  Unfortunately I couldn't hear Ger.  

Ger:  What've I to do with the car?

Me.  What?

Ger.  . . sigh . .. what's happening with the car?

Me.  Park it behind N's.

Ger.  But what about this one?  (Pointing to M's car).

Me.  What?

Ger.  WHAT.  AM.  I.  TO.  DO.  WITH.  MY CAR?????

Me.  Wha?  Oh, oh.  Don't worry about M's, just park your car behind N's.  

I swear to God, but she shouted at me like I was her husband or something.  The way I shout at Himself when he's not doing what I'm telling him to do and I'm nearing murdering point.  

Jesus.  We're obviously spending too much time together.

Later we were sitting, more or less, side by side on the sofa.  She was on her laptop and me on my ipad.  We were grumping about each other online to our buddies.  It was so funny.  We then got even gigglier and tried to take 'grumpy' photos of ourselves, as you do when you're on your holliers, and failed brutally.

M went upstairs to a crying child.  We'd woken the babies.  Terrible thing to do, wake babies.  To get ourselves out of the shite we dragged Lily into our photo.

I love Lily!  She was taking the piss out of us that weekend too for crying over 'Goodnight Mr. Tom'.  She is such a harsh witch when she wants to be.  Poking fun at us and calling us soft.  Hard aul' wan.

16,000 Policemen (and women) in London tonight.

You know I love London.  You definitely knowing here I love Birmingham.  I'm sitting here watching two of my favourite English cities being destroyed by opportunist wasters.

I've seen a young boy, an injured young man, being helped up only to have the same lads steal from his backpack.  

The truly frightening part is that, it's kids.  Young Kids!!  11 years of age and up.  Kids thinking that it's alright to rampage, destroy and steal whatever they can get their hands on.  

I've seen youtube videos with hairy arsed idiot liberals inciting more violence by crying police harassment when there is no police harassment obvious in the video he is shooting.  All I could see was the Police shouting at people to move on.  The same hairy arsed idiot hides the faces of the looters, white incidentally, yet shows the faces of the Policemen trying to arrest them.

I'm really upset.  Really, really upset.

This is nothing to do with rights or unemployment.  This is nothing other than a scumbag culture out for whatever they can get at whatever cost necessary.  

I've listened to young men and women on the news shouting about the fact they are looting to 'get their taxes back'.  If they are out to 'get their taxes back' then they aren't unemployed, are they?

My two favourite cities are being destroyed by mindless idiots who lack the brain power and will to make life better for themselves so instead they have gone out of their way to ruin life for everyone else in their path.  Do they honestly not believe that the shops they are destroying need to be there?  Need to be there to create jobs amongst other things.  

I've seen a wedding dress shop owner in tears because all her stock was stolen.  Crying because she is struggling to keep a business going.  Crying because she has brides whose big day is going to be ruined as she has no dresses for them.

I've seen photos of a woman leaping out of a burning building.

I've seen 100's of photos of kids with their faces covered.  In my opinion those kids should be arrested there and then.  If you're not up to anything why not show your face??

Why aren't these kids at home?  Where are the parents?  I swear to God that if ever, EVER, I caught one of mine involved in something so heinous I'd take their heads off myself.  

"Pure havoc and terror and free stuff" - that's what one of the thugs posted on twitter.

This isn't even about the man who was killed at the beginning of the 'riots'.  A local gangster who pulled a gun, who may not have fired it, but who was shot by the police.  I'm sorry but if you pull a gun I don't think you should be given the opportunity to let off a round.  You don't carry guns if you are a good, decent bloke.  If you carry a gun you relinquish your rights as a law-abiding citizen.

There are people starving in Somalia.   Millions may die.  That's a tragedy.  Those morons/cretins/fuckwits deserve nothing but the full weight of the law on their heads.  They are nothing.
