Rap music.. I can't make any sense of it..

QuoteI had the first visitor last night in my bedroom.  A whopper it was,  I should say about 2"  across,  great big black thing with very long legs.  I am so glad I saw it else it might have crawled over me while I was asleep!   
I remember I had a huge one under my pillow last year!   

I don't mind little ones,  but those great big ones scare me.

😆😆😆😆 Lucky you.. I haven't had one like that in yonks..

Ooooo!! The plot thickens.. 
I wonder which paper is right.. !!

September.    That always means Spider month to me.   
They always start coming indoors when the nights are getting cooler.

I had the first visitor last night in my bedroom.  A whopper it was,  I should say about 2"  across,  great big black thing with very long legs.   I am so glad I saw it else it might have crawled over me while I was asleep!

On the radio today they were asking listeners which sounds they can't abide.
Several said about people munching crisps in front of them,  others said screaming kids.
It made me think about a couple of things I really don't like,  and they are:


1. These half wits who have ear splitting exhaust pipes on their cars and motorbikes,  which they love to rev loud as they go past.   I really hate that noise, it hurts my ears.

2. People who always have their mobile phones on speaker phone.   
I don't want to hear their conversations.
I was in hospital last year after having one of my awful dizzy turns,  and I needed quiet and rest,  but the selfish woman in the bed opposite was clacking away on her phone half the night,  and what's more,  she had the darn thing on speaker as well.
And why do so many people shout down their phones as well?  They rarely talk normally.


There,  I've had my moan,  but are there any particular noises that you don't like?   

Yes! That's what it means.

It's spoken by the Narrator at the beginning of the film here. If you missed the Makerfield ascension by-election this one is nearly as good.
It was called Left Right and Centre (1959) and starred Ian Carmichael.

It just goes to show how left and right wing politics has flipped. In the film the entitled well-to-do Conservative loses against the working i.e.employed socialist girl. Today the well-to-do entitled socialist would win against the right wing builder; such is life.

That is so disgusting .
These people have not been well brought up .

That quote means that it's just the same both capitalists and socialists exploit man .

It's a good place to find out what we have to escape from though.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of travelling on the Central Line in London. For those who don't know it it's one of the Underground lines that serves Notting Hill Gate.

Today I read that there were 603 arrests at the Notting Hill Carnival and at least one murder. But - I may be wrong - I think the survivors (millions of them) had a good time there. I heard that some of the women wore clothes below the groin but I don't think I saw any of them on the trains.
