Delusional ! what me? I don't think

     The statement that I am delusional comes from someone I know well who has many personal .problems  which are hidden in his too hard basket plus far too many health problems, the main ones are of his own making being grossly overweight and a smoker , which in my mind are things to be taken care of not later but 'Now'. My train of thought is not on the same track as his smoke belching puffing billy travels on  and I don't intend to buy any tickets, I am my own person and I like it that way and I doubt if I shall change although it has been said that it is never too late to learn,  age comes into the equation  to lessen the impact of that message, particularly when my Inbox is already on overload.      My message in reply is simple,. 'It is better you solve your own problems first before Qualifying to solve the problems of others       However , thank you for  reminding me I am imperfect, who isn't?.

Cricket I have your wicket.

      Australia have just been beaten  by Sri Lanka in the first test in Galle S L. Last month the SL'S were soundly beaten by England in all forms of the game which does not look too good for  Australia , For those geographically dead in the head Australia is approximately 100 times greater than Sri Lanka and both have a similar population  and is 11 hours flying time from Sydney and 5hrs from Port Hedland WA Aus.      For the people who are devoid of cricket knowledge here is my explanation of that revered and historic game. a rerun from a former post.                                          CRICKET  IV"E GOT YOUR WICKET. The following preamble is a laymans explanation of the rules of cricket to the good  people of North America . You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out, and when he is out he comes in and the next man goes in until he is out. When one side are all out, the side that's been out comes in and the side t

WORDS ON WEDNESDAY(A new Beginning)

     My Computer has been upgraded and its content is completely unlike its predecessor , it will take time for me to get around it al.l. Words for Wednesday are below.. HOPSCOTCH. SOMEONE. DAYS. HOTTER. HOAXER LONELY Plus "I was wondering if you could solve a silly argument". .. This is my composition  for today's words.       I was wondering if (SOMEONE) Or you could solve a silly argument ? My eldest son aged 61 is telling me that my new PCW10 is easy. My son has spent several ( DAYS) converting my aged PC into something his brain conceived and expects my 90 year old noddle to grasp this altogether new system in a flash, well he is wrong as I am aware it will take me far more time than he did to conceive it,. to him it is simple. However, as I sit (LONELY) at my PC wondering if a (HOAXER) has been at work being that all of the bells and whistles I knew before have been substituted for a host of new ones and has left me like  jumping (HOPSCOTCH) from one sq

Yes it is a blank. However, you may like to take  a look at earlier posts. Thank You . Vest.... Back soon.

Most of the World Navies lower deck Sailors Wear Effeminate Uniforms.

The Sailor’s Uniform For many years, sailors in the Royal Navy waited for the privilege to leave their ship or establishment out of uniform. In the early 1950’s, this privilege was finally granted, but only in shore establishments. In 1965, it was extended to ships, but only in British Commonwealth ports of call. Should anyone dare suggest that my descendants wear a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera-type navy uniform, I would cheerfully see them dead before allowing it. People who wear these uniforms may feel proud for a while, but the novelty wears off very quickly when you discover you have been dressed to fit into a subordinate category and are identified as such. Furthermore, you are obliged to cringe, bow, and grovel before all other navy personnel who are dressed in attire that is more comfortable. The higher their order of rank, the more difficult it is to communicate with them. This sort of situation gives the word ‘rank’ a different definition. You can easily rec

2nd Words on Wednesday

EXHIBITION. FEELING. BEWITCHING. CAPTIVE. GUSHING. CANDLE.  Vest 2nd Composition.      It is usually with a FEELING of relief when one departs after attending a BEWITCHING CANDLE light supper at Mrs Bucket's  (Pronounced Bouquet)  upmarket EXHIBITION residence.       The pomposity of this garrulous GUSHING Lady ? is beyond belief, who one, dares not attempt to interrupt, while she is prattling off to her bored CAPTIVE audience.        It is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed by someone possibly wiser than one's self.

WORDS ON WEDNESDAY ( The village Bike.)

     These Are the Words For Wednesday It is now up to you to compose a story  yarn or a poem or even a limerick (That would be hard ) EXHIBITION. FEELINGS. BEWITCHING. CAPTIVE. GUSHING. CANDLE.      This is my Composition.. By Vest.        The FEELINGS  of the persons who attended the newly formulated  evening EXHIBITION  Highlighted by the impressive coloured CANDLE  lights and who  had created impressive floral exhibits but failed to impress the GUSHING  judge who obviously was  favouring Lord and Lady Cods Wallop's tawdry exhibit (Or that of their gardeners) As was usually the case  followed by the exhibit by the village Squire and his newly acquired leggy blonde  wife whose visible Undercarriage was highlighted by her BEWITCHING see through attire which thrilled a CAPTIVE audience of gawking village idiots yelling their approval of the Squires  latest acquisition - formerly the village Bike. I am likely to be put in the Village Stocks for this one. Vest back

The BIG 90 Today

         Dear Friends and Relatives      Today July  16  2016 I have reached a pinnacle of life I least expected , I consider myself to be a lucky person having survived to this Grand Age.      There have been many pitfalls during my lifetime which with perseverance were overcome by a steady as you go attitude to life and not expect that others should do my bidding and to put to good purpose my own allotted measure of commonsense and a willingness to make things happen. I have lived a healthy lifestye mostly in my later years and the deprivations of my early years taught me to appreciate the better things in later life common to many people. I have survived several conflicts Other than minor marital happenings however, all is well and my partnership with my Wife Rosemary has always been compatible for the past 63 years, it also gives me pleasure knowing I have a great family whom I love unconditionally plus many friends whom I love and respect and am grateful for their acceptance

Tomorrow In History.

      It was on July 16 during the Gregorian Calendar year 622  approx 1,394 years ago when Mohammad took flight from Mecca to Medina but the Muslim calendar will tell you it was 1,427 years ago. So it would seem a Muslim person  person reaching 98.7  Gregorian years tomorrow  will have reached 100  Hal Al years. I wonder how the world would be if  big MO had missed his flight. its all too weird for words.  Also on July 16 1945 The first Atomic Explosion  was tested In the New Mexico desert  in the USA..  Then on July 16 1969 at 2100 hrs British Summer Time (B S T) the  Apollo 11 crew took flight to the Moon..  And finally . On July 16 1926,  Yours truly VEST was hatched at 21 , Homerton High Street, Hackney, London E8 England.  And the world rejoiced, er I dun Fink so.being  the world  around me already had more than its share of problems  May we all be given  the serenity to accept things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the d

Second "Words on Wednesday"

  The second list:  clip tie previous greet attack serve       This my  Composition      Joining the RSL Club was an ATTACK on my privacy, but particularly annoying by the meathead who towered over me asking personal questions as if I was a newly born  or a Nozzer joining the R/Navy. He having perused my service records he and his fellow inquisitor seemed a little embarrassed - my thwarting icy stare on  saying thank you  followed their remark of "Quite a distinguished service sir, "Yes I replied" However his final  SERVE as good as a CLIP around the ear was "remember to wear a TIE the next time you call"      A few days later following my PREVIOUS encounter, I fronted up to the overweight beer swiller. with black TIE whose  main purpose was to GREET patrons who had legitimate access to the club and remove those  who had not, As  I flashed my new club card when  I passed his desk  he replied "OI oo  are you,; show me your card" Oh its you

Words for Wednesday..A Greek Tragedy.

                                                        Words for this Wednesday BROAD. BEWILDERED. DRACONIAN. IMPRESS. BE. HELPLESS. This is my Greek Tragedy.      The more recent Greek tragedy concerning Greece, brought about by the failure of the Greeks to fulfill their obligations to the EEC, were minuscule compared to the BROAD list of indiscretions   Which could be perpetrated  by members of a  BEWILDERED and HELPLESS population under Draco's  DRACONIAN administration who had no redress if convicted and capital punishment would BE the inevitable result. It would be a toss up who was the worse tyrant he or Mr Schiclegruber  - aka Adolf H who exited our world in 1945.      Fortunately for the Greeks  the tide turned after  a mutinous  insurrection and  Draco the unloved was unseated from power and was replaced by Solon who abolished Draco's laws and instigated laws which would IMPRESS the population , the laws included  a graduated income tax scale and  rewards
The Daily Gaggle Low Flying Porkers Pillory Public 'P' Platers. Most motorists have their own anecdotal stories to tell of police cars brazenly flouting the traffic laws for no apparent reason. Now there is hard evidence that these are not just stories. The revelation that last financial year 1433 police cars were caught breaking the road rules without reason is worryingly high, given there are about 16,000 officers in NSW. But it should be kept in perspective - the lead-foot officers behind the wheel did not get off without consequence. They had to pay their fines, a combined $345,904, and they lost demerit points too, as would any other motorist. And they were subject to internal investigations by safe driver committees, which is entirely appropriate. But the behaviour of the minority is unhelpful to the overall objectives of red

The 2nd Words on Wednesday

   Here are the Words TASTY. X RAY' BONE. AUNT. GABBY. STAY.      I have a habit of reading The Sydney Daily Telegraph History column and again a familiar name crops up, which gives me the right to air my TASTY  BONE of contention.      The people who write some of this Gush have no more idea what they are printing than my great AUNT GABBY Whose X RAY of her noddle  revealed a complete emptiness.      Let the truth be known, that the said historic person the Parramatta NSW Judge Advocate Richard Atkins, stated to the Governor of NSW Australia Phillip Gidley King on July 8 1805, that as Aborigines are without morals or religion, they cannot give evidence in a case of law.      So much for that statement from no other than a completely untrustworthy person whose real given birth name was Richard Bowyer ( a likely relative)  It would be a great idea to read his Wiki or google profile to get a better picture of this Despot whose drunken antics and poor judgement of those wh

Words on Wednesday.

 These are the words for Wednesday compiled from 'Elephants Child". STOP. CAN. BOILING. KNOTTY. SCRAPE. COMPETITION.  Plus, OUR PRECIOUS HOURS ARE TICKING AWAY. This is my Composition.     It has been years since I used a Gym for keeping fit, part of my former occupation was spent in the BOILING sun, this in turn was in direct COMPETITION  with an occasional visit to the gym.      The Brochure I received in the mail box relating to this activity states "The only people you will come in contact with are those of your own weight and size  problems."    When I STOP to think about it I realise the people sending me this stuff in the mail have no idea about persons of my age - OUR PRECIOUS HOURS ARE TICKING AWAY and  CAN only guess or hope they find someone in need of their services, although in my case they  get it wrong despite the fact I am not likened to a KNOTTY  Arny Swartznegger - once described by a prominent Sydney Talk Show host as a 'Condo

A TWELVE MONTH REPRIEVE.

Getting out of the car and putting my hand on the edge of my door was still a struggle to get out of the car.
