Where do I get these strange ideas from? I am getting far too soft in my old age, It has to stop. PC Wilson will be the first to suffer my slings and arrows. Truth to tell he was a miserable, grumpy old sod, who thought that his uniform made him into some kind of godlike figure. Bashing kids! Only bullies do that. He ain't got anything to be proud of. There you go Wilson, take that!
Sometimes my right wing tendencies get waylaid by my soppy leftist alter ego, and I find myself saying things I don't really mean. Or worse still, sitting on the fence pretending I don't care.
Well I do care today, and I despise anyone who hurts kids. Some obnoxious child upset you? Tough! Walk away from it. You are an adult aren't you? Deal with it. Walk away. It's only a kid. The brain hasn't developed properly yet. And it probably won't if you keep smacking it around the head!
You may have noticed that I began the last sentence with the word 'and'. There was a time when this was considered grammatically wrong. Well not any more apparently. I'm going to be doing it more and more in future. Save me a lot of time thinking about punctuation!
Now where was I? Oh yes Police Constable Wilson. A nasty piece of work he was. I'm saying nothing good about him. Not today. Might do some other time.
I'll tell you what. Any copper hits my kids, I'll have his badge!
Yesterday the weather was gorgeous. I was in such a good mood. Today it is bloody raining. Again. I'm in a bad mood. Hope it didn't come across in this post!
It might be sunny again tomorrow.
See you again soon.
I am so happy that you came to your senses about PC Wilson and those like him. As for the weather just think how clean everything will be after the rain.
ReplyDeleteIt was you that made me think again Emma.
DeletePlenty of sun here...I'll send some over.
ReplyDeleteJane x
I'm convinced that your weather makes its way here every time Jane.
DeleteYou are so funny, P.C.Wilson is not the only 'grumpy old sod' eh ? Never mind John the summer is coming soon. (I hope). I have had to revert to my winter woolies again as I refuse to put a fire on in May.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I love your header picture.
I stopped worrying about being grammatically correct once I was out of school.
ReplyDeleteIf we had some sun I would have sent some over to you (hopefully Paul packed some to bring to you ;-) ). Cold, grey and rainy here :-(. And I often start sentences beginning with "and". A habit I struggle to break.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is out at the moment thank goodness. Don't break the 'and' habit it is now allowed by the powers that be. See what Valerie has said below.
DeleteLea, what sun is Paul supposed to have packed, it's been distinctly lacking these last few days!! I'm sure when Paul gets to you John there won't be time to feel down, I bet you'll get on like old mates!! I hope we get to see the evidence!!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to his visit, camera at the ready.
DeleteYes, the uniform seemed to give them the authority to hit kids. Thank goodness that has changed.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be generally recognised now that starting a sentence with And and But gives emphasis. It works for me too.
