Just watched the last episode of Clarksons Farm, which I have watched from the beginning.
Usually I am a very positive person. Completely believe in fate & the universe - good & bad.
I’m a omeone whom makes the bad in the world palatable by believing that ‘everything happens for a reason’.
But as I’ve grown older it becomes more difficult to accept that belief.
Watching what Jeremy has so openly & elegantly exposed. The impossible future for our UK farmers, how hard they work to provide us as a nation & the lack of support & funding they receive.
It’s sickening ….
It was always my dream to own a farm, having grown up in that environment- but now …. It would be my worst nightmare.
Jeremy, we wish you all the very best for a full recovery.
Thank you for all that are you, all that you do & for showing the UK that we are united.
Exposing the flaws & injustice in our country.
Love & well wishes ….
From the Auto Lass Team.
Long ramble:
I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others.
But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect.
So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block.
The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem.
I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration.
So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating.
To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.
We need a good "no win no fee" solicitor to take this on. We are unable to resolve the claim for the arson attack on our home in 2022. Any help would be much appreciated to battle @avivaplc@BELFORGroup this needs resolving! @BBCWatchdog@Channel4 the court. Please share!
@Auto_Lass I think you got that the wrong way round.Snap On now make a Jody tool box that matches your nails. For an extra tenner they will change the colour each week for you
Hi @Tesco
On Good Friday I experienced the most awful and humiliating experience in your Hurst Park (Surrey) store. I popped in to pick up groceries on my way to visit friends. I used “scan as you go” as I always do, and paid £75.92 for my groceries, using my Apple Pay.
@Auto_Lass@Matt_Bevan423@AndyN_Auto_Lass My guess is it was running really lean or at full throttle all the time but just maybe it was powered by the magic car pixies
