A brief foreword from the author...

I am a married farther, dog dad, powered by caffeine and bbq. The views and opinions expressed in this blog are my own.

I am woke as fück, a globalist & socialist.

This is a 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 safe space. I am your ally.

Members of the🖕 far right🖕 community, this is NOT a safe space for you.

I am an atheist, though, I respect your right to follow your own faith, please don't push your religion on me or others.

I use AI to help create the images I want, I may develop the courage to show my actual artistic ability (i use oils to paint and dabble with photography) at some point but for now this is how I choose to show my creative nature.

I love stand up comedy, live music, poetry, audiobooks and debates.

Fun fact

The British Empire is known for being the largest empire in recorded history.

It also spread common law, property laws, independent judicial system.

Rail networks, banking, public health systems, anti-slavery laws.

But did you know that it also murdered over 100 million people? That the most any empire has ever killed.

The British Empire was massively involved in the Slave Trade.

While not inventing them, the British Empire coined the name concentration camps and used them.

Perhaps the most famous thing about the Empire was that it finally broke defeating the Nazis.

But make no mistake, the Union Flag, the flag so many on the far right love to put half way up lamp posts is absolutely covered in blood.

This is Torpenhow Hill in Cumbria, it's just a regular hill in Northern England, nothing special other than its name...

You see its name breaks down like this

Tor/pen/how

Tor is old English which means Hill

Pen is Old Cymraeg for Hill

How is old Norse for Hill

So the name of this hill is

Hill Hill Hill, Hill.

For those of us from the UK and of a certain age (read old as f), may remember the Hovis TV ad?

Now it was called the Bike Ride, it features a 13 year old lad called Carl Barlow, was voiced by the talented actor Howard Lang and was directed by Ridley Scott. Yes, that Ridley Scott.

The music was by a Brass band that played Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 (From the New World).

Now why am I talking this? Well it was talked about the other day and we were all of the opinion that it was filmed somewhere in Yorlshire, and that the voice over actor was clearly a Yorlshireman.

Oh how wrong we were!!!

It was filmed in Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset!!!

Here's the ad..
