Dotty Richard ......

And who wants some? With custard or cream?

This is what happens to favourite things when PC (political correctness) has gone mad!

The list is endless, all that we hold or have held sacred slowly drowning in the mad world of PC.

Everything we grew up with has changed, for some reason I have come to think are we pandering to the sensitivity of others? We cannot be classed as men or women anymore, we are just people/person. 

And I love being a woman!

Now do I complain that by labelling me as just a ’person’ have I the right to shout ’I am a woman, not just a person!’ will this be PC? 

Same with men, now we all know how men see their ’manliness’ as sacred, listen up men …. you are being labelled as ’just a person’, why are you not screaming at the top of your voices that YOU ARE MEN! That is usually the norm with the male species. don’t get me wrong, I love men, I seem to get on better with them, maybe that’s because I was brought up with 4 brothers and no sisters, I have had many a laugh in the company of men, that’s very true, so I am not putting you men down here with what I am saying, so please don’t get all sensitive on me, and say I am not PC, *flutters eyelashes* ……

With the endless list of all the things that we are not allowed to call by there proper name anymore, I sometimes get confused, that’s a fact, look I am blonde, so I can be excused for easily being confused, cant I? or am I now putting blondes in the box of being ‘dumb’, ‘stupid’, airheads’? I am not, if I can take the pee out of myself why cant the rest? Actually I will go back to what I said before about my dad, he thinks I am a very intelligent woman, so maybe that is why I do not have a problem taking the pee out of myself, because I am comfortable with who I am. And if I can take the pee out of myself then I say I have the right to have a laugh with others, I would never be nasty with what I say, that’s just not me.

Then we get all PC over inanimate objects, why? I have looked into certain things that have come under the magnifying glass about being PC or not, and usually there is a history as to why they are called what they are, so why change history to pander to what others think, usually the minority,  I just do not get it!

There are many ‘old’ comedy programs that will never be aired again, because of the content of them, the words that no one took offence to then, until someone said it was not PC, why? I think they are funny and the majority of others do as well, because when they were first aired they were very popular.

What some things used to be classed as ‘suggestive’ is not PC because it offends, in the work place you see many a hoohaa coming about because someone took something, now this can even be a joke, in innocence as offensive.

Where will it all stop? And when? When will the PC brigade please stop this nonsense?

So this is what it comes down to, I brought my son up to treat others as he would want to be treated, good philosophy I think there, I have always lived by that, I am always nice to others, but of course unless they cross me for no reason lol. He likes a laugh and joke as we all do, well, most of us ….. So really are these people who are so into being PC forgetting how to live? How to laugh? How to relax? That last one must be true, because they must be on guard all the time, knowing full well that they have to think a certain way, more to the point, how were these people brought up? 

So my theory is this, the PC brigade are aliens!! 

They must be, why would anyone want to change the way we think and behave, dictate to us! I think it’s a way to take over and rule the world, a way to control the way we think and behave, eventually turn us into mindless robots who think the way they do. 

And what better a way to do it, no one realises that this is happening slowly to us as a society, a free thinking society, they are squishing our right to freedom of speech! 

Scared? Well you should be, there may well be one of these ‘PC’s’ next to you right now ….. 

Stand up for your rights people, do not be afraid to speak anymore, shout loud and proud what ever it is you want to say, that is usually not PC, and I will give you the very first words that you should say, out loud now, do not be shy, because this is the meaning of ‘Dotty Richard’ the very heart of what we love, so when you cast your eyes upon these words, do not just read them to yourself, shout them out!! Let everyone hear that we will not be dictated to by aliens ever again, here is the meaning, ready? ……..

SPOTTED DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that’s right’ Dotty Richard’ is one of our favourite puddings, spotted dick, how stupid is that? Now I have said all this I fancy some spotted dick, have not had any for ages, I have custard …….

Time out from theorizing .... part two.

From part one cont: …..

So there he is, the little old man leaning on the wall, I am thinking he is going to have a heart attack! He also says he has in his house a stena chair lift, lol he gives me the parcels, I sign he goes slowly down stairs. Now I am think should I do something? Should he be doing this job at his age, and more to the point his health? But what do I know, he could be subsidizing his pension for all I know, I wont be doing him any favours, if I open my mouth, he could be doing the job to keep himself occupied, so as not to get bored, as I said, what do I know? So I leave it, and hope that I have made the right decision, not to say anything.

10.10am ~  well this is the quickest delivery I have ever had, it’s the stuff I ordered form ‘next’ at 6pm yesterday! Just under 16 hours to get here, how’s that for service! I turn my laptop on, and  I  need to try the things on, and everything fits apart from one item, now I ordered the same size for each of what I got, but how comes there is always one item that will be the wrong fit? So now I have to make arrangements for it to be sent back, and a replacement. Other than that I like all the other things and am quite happy.

11.00am ~ first I need to finish the cleaning that needs doing, also I need to make some bread, so I get all the ingredients together and put it in the bread making machine and make sure that is going. Do you want to know why I make my own bread? Because for one, I could not believe how much bread cost when I came back from abroad, like there, it was about 10p a loaf, and fresh with no preservatives in, so it has been worth my while to get the bread making machine and make my own wholemeal and white bread, that have no preservatives and know what has gone into it. I have worked it out that each loaf cost about 50p, so that’s not bad, a?

Noon ~ I finally am able to get on my laptop and look at emails etc while I am there I have to look at the British Gas website, as my electric supply is through them, and I need to sort out with the payment with them, as the DD that goes out each month for it was not enough for the year overall, as I changed from E-on to BG a year ago, because I had a dispute with E-on, for the first quarter in 2008 my electric bill was so high I nearly had a fit when I saw it, I called them but would they look into it? Nooooo! So I changed to BG, now they for the same period is about £85 cheaper, so no problems there, so I call and pay them, out of the way.

1.00pm ~ have done two loads of washing as well so far this morning, need to put another load in.

1.15pm ~ I parcel up the item that needs sending back to ‘next’, then I look for the number to call them, and it is a 0870 number, why do companies do this? So I look on the ‘saynoto0870’ website to see if there is an alternative landline number and there is, and a free phone one at that …. yay, well I have to say the reason why I am happy is because, I pay £5 extra  month on top of my line rental to get free landline calls 24/7 now this is all landline UK 01-02-03-080, so why should I have to pay the stupid prices for these 0870/0844/5 blah blah? I can guarantee that at the end of each month, I do have a bill purely because of these numbers.  I know I sound like a tight-wade, but its no good throwing money away, that’s not right.

So I call ‘next’  and make arrangements for the item to be picked up tomorrow, and a replacement sent at the same time, job done.

1.45pm ~ while I am on the ‘sayno’ website I notice a petition that is going, to get the hospitals, local GP and clinics to stop using these sort of numbers, and I firmly believe in this, they should not be using these numbers, my surgery does, and I think it is wrong.  See this is what I was saying, some people might not be able to afford these numbers, it soon mounts up when you are holding one for ‘a stoopid long time’, oh I have timed my GP service, you don’t want to know, really! Is this not answering and taking ages to answer deliberate? so that whoever the money goes to gets more? So I click the link and sign the petition, also while I am on, there is another petition that I agree with so sign that one as well. These petition sites are lethal for me, so I quickly get off it before I get carried away ……

2.10pm ~ talking about calling my GP, I have to call them to make an appointment, as I have the results from the MRI scan I had done last Friday to get, don’t suppose that will be good news from what happened while I was there having them done *sigh*. 

Anyoo, I finally get through, after waiting 15 mins from the auto voice to someone saying hello, I ask for an appointment and while i am there about my repeat prescription that I sent in last week, and guess what! For the fourth time not only has it been done, but collected by the wrong pharmacy to be filled and delivered …. pft!!!! So takes ages to sort that out, why is nothing simple?

2.45pm ~ I spend a bit more time on the net, perusing my favourite places, while having a cup of tea.

3.25pm ~ phone goes, it’s a friend of mine, spend over an hour catching up, this is a normal thing everyday, she is not having a good time, her hubby is ill, and she is not too good, just come out of hospital, and what with me, it’s a joke I can tell you. We always seem to find something funny especially me, as I want to cheer people up and make them laugh.

4.30pm ~ well, ear hole is aching lol, and my kitteh, Is moaning at me cos she want me to play with her, so spend some time, throwing her mice for her to run after, she is sooo funny, she gets carried away and then starts running like a banshee, thundering about the place, she sounds like an elephant!!

5.15pm ~ time for me to find something to eat, am not very hungry, so have something quick and easy, that done and finished, wash up and put away.

6.10pm ~ well that’s it, am now going to settle down for the evening. I have actually left a couple of things out of here, that’s because its private stuff, you don’t need to know about my bathroom ablutions. 

My 24 hours are done with sharing with you, not very scintillating is it? Been nice to have no dramas actually … lol …..

Time out from theorizing ....

Part one ....

About time I had some time out, instead of theorizing this week, here Is a total waste of non-theory, brains rest from theorizing and this is what I have done in the past 24 hours …..

Sunday 6pm is where I will start, because I actually did something at that time, it was Sunday, which as we all know is resting day, time out from work, so really that’s exactly what I did all day, slobbed out all day with my kitteh, in my lovely electric recliner chair, I have to be comfortable you know, and just watched TV and catching up on recordings I had done during the week.

Before I carry on, I will recommend an electric recliner chair to all of you, I have never been soo comfortable sitting in anything in all my life, I am in this chair whenever I am on my laptop, the foot rest is up, lappy resting on my lap, cup of tea next to me, within reach, so am not stretching myself. Its soo big my kitteh is beside me on it, and she is nice and comfy and snoozing, I am always in it while watching TV,  I also  recline it right back and snooze in it, make sure you get the right one for you, mine has massive big cushioning all over it, well padded, so if you do not have one yet, go and get one ….. NOW!

Where was I? oh yes ……

Sunday 6pm ~ I have been looking on the ‘Next’ website for some new summer clothes, they have some lovely things out, so I order a few items, and the checkout, it says they will be leaving the warehouse Monday 20th (next day). Now whenever  I am given dates like this after ordering stuff I allow 2-3 days for it to actually get to me.

6.30pm ~ I have something to eat, clean the dishes. Phone call comes from a friend and I chat on there for about an hour, not unusual this, actually an hour is the norm, anything shorter is not the norm.

7.45pm ~ I refresh my memory by watching last weeks episode of  ‘LOST’ I record every episode and watch it about 2-3 time before the next episode, yes, I know I am a really sad person, I know this, but I love this program.

8.45 ~ now I am a quandary, LOST is on at 9pm on Sky1, on ITV1 at 9.20 ‘hells kitchen’ is on, which is not repeated,  so now I am watching ‘lost’ until 9.20 then turn over to watch ‘hells kitchen’, and am glad I did not miss it now, cos Jody the silly boy, threw a tantrum and stormed out, throwing apron off and other items of clothing as he makes his way out the back door, then promptly takes a run and jump over the back fence lol only to be brought back later, I am not going to fill you in why he did this, you should have watched the show, like I do.

10.20 ~ go to the recorded listings, go to this weeks episode of ‘lost’ and then watch it, while drinking my horlicks, also have taken my tablets. And OH MY GOD, this show never ceases to amaze me, I can probably guarantee after each episode I am thinking to myself WTF!!

11.15 ~ well that’s me for the night, my eyelids are drooping, so get myself ready for bed, and as always read for a while, I am still plowing through ‘Phillips Gregory’ books she is the author that wrote ‘Tudor’ series of books, great reading if I do say myself. The one I am on at the moment if the second book of a trio, the favoured child, I would recommend them.

12.30am ~ finally am ready for sleep, I have nearly dozed off a couple of time, but needed to get to the end of the chapter first, my kitteh is at the bottom of my bed, nice and snug and sleeping, I turn the light out, settle down, then gone ……

06.50am ~ oh sh*t, my mobile has bleeped off, the battery must have died, so get up and go plug it in, go back to bed, snuggle back down again with my kitteh.

09.30am ~ ohhhhh this is strange, the first time my kitteh has let me have a lay in since I brought her home day before new year, she must be getting used to my sleeping pattern. Get up wash my kitteh’s bowls out, feed and water her, make myself a cup of tea, take my tablets, then settle down to watch the morning news, see whats happened in the world, make another cup of tea, hang on I will warn you, when I first get up I need at least 5-6 cups of tea before I can face the world and do anything.

09.55am ~ someone is phoning at this early time, a man says he is delivering 3 parcels for me and checking I am in, I tell him yes, within a minute the security buzzer is going. I answer, it is the man with the parcels so I tell him first floor and buzz him in, open front door and wait for him to come up, and wait … and wait .... I then go to the other door to look down stairs … oh crikey a little old man of about 80 is struggling to get up the stairs, ohh noooo lol he gets to me, I ask him if he is ok, he says ‘I don’t do stairs’ ….. what can I say, the poor thing is out of breath and leaning on the wall ……

To be cont:….
