The Insomniac Wanderings On The internet Guy Fawkes Edition

Hello there. Hope you're feeling well today.

It's Sunday then. And unusually for me I have things to do. For tomorrow I'm off to Essex for four days as my mother is about to have a cataract operation. It is something routine,done on the day and apparently takes about a couple of hours and she can get home. Still she needs someone to be there for her for at least a couple of days given that she has to get used to the results so off I go .

It means bag packed, oil and tyres checked  and to get petrol for the journey. But not yet. Too early. Have to wait for later in the morning when wife/daughter are awake.

So wanderings on the internet I go.

Have been watching a recording of Remington Steele starring Pierce Brosnan. I remember when that show first came out. Late eighties as I recall. I remember it with affection as it provided me with some comfort when my grandfather was dying. Not saying it was the greatest thing ever on TV. But it was there when I needed something to make me smile.

I am pro EU. Will always be. Doesn't mean though I find it's attitude on Spain and Catalonia astonishing and disappointing. If a people want to vote to be an independent nation why shouldn't they be? We have found out in the past month that in a supposedly new Spain an old blackshirted Spain was hiding. If I was Catalonian and on the fence on this issue, I would become pro independent immediately as I wouldn't want to succumb to the bully that was Madrid.

Is Spain trying to make a last ditch attempt to take from Britain the title of worst European government in 2017? Has a long way to go. Still it wins the prize as the most sinister.

Twitter tells me that the rumours are that Slaven Bilic is going to be sacked and replaced by David Moyes. David Moyes then. The man who helped put Sunderland to where they are today.

"Extreme porn" was allegedly found on the computer of the cabinet minister minister Daimian Green. Bet people are scouring the internet to find  out what "extreme porn" actually means here.

Today is Guy Fawkes day. When fireworks are supposed to be across the land. As it happens lot of them were set off yesterday. Funny thing that the person in the gang who was set to blow up parliament who's actually remembered was the equivalent of the getaway driver.

Ah well wife's awake.

Until the next time.
