How Green was my Wood Well, this is it, my inaugural post on my new blog and I'm going to start with some sad news from my neighbourhood; a murder of an as yet unnamed person at the railway station a few hundred metres from my home this morning. I don't know if the problems of inner East London are moving ever outwards but with events over recent years it certainly feels that way to me. But I don't want to dwell on news that will be easy to follow on the internet, with this post and maybe one or two further I hope to introduce myself a bit better, contemplate my reasons for starting a blog in the first place and hopefully interest at least somebody enough that they will return to read more of my posts. My name is Robert or Rob for short and I'm nearly 52, a native of Romford. If that sounds a bit like the opening line of a dating profile I should warn you that I don't do Americans; they're all over paid, over sexed and unfortunately not over here. I was a you...
Not Half Sonali Haymaker - First to die (youtube.com) Now back to some things that are both serious and fun in equal measure and that is the criminals in the NHS, to name only two at NELFT: Dr. Sonali Gupta who learnt in India but is just practicing in England and Dr. Mahmood? from Allah knows where, his name doesn't appear on the Goodmayes Hospital website although that's what he calls himself. The other day, Friday I think it was they called unannounced at my house with what I presume was a social worker and the po po in tow. Ostensibly this was to check on my welfare, but was possibly an excuse to section me again and forcibly poison my brain. Fortunately for them they had a court order allowing them to force down my door to help me. But therein lies the nub, the court order was a forgery, the penalty for which is ten years in prison and my parents agreed with me when they saw it, fortunately copies are very securely locked up. My life already! who's being played here?...
Sunday Morning Lou Reed The constellations of a bit of cash and a fine spring morning on a Sunday finally coincided again so I took a trip to my favourite summer boot sale at Boreham near Chelmsford. I had a really enjoyable couple of hours and bought some really interesting stuff even though I only went with a tenner. I won't list it all here, it was the usual mix; some CD's a bit of china and antique framed prints. I even did some trading on the hoof. All in all a good couple of hours spent for just £10. A couple of pieces of china I did buy are small ornamental birds, one a Yellow Hammer and the other an American Bluebird manufactured by the company Royal Adderley, probably in the 1960's. I paid £7 the pair which is a very fair price and although I know there's an awful lot of these sort of ornaments still around I'd never seen Royal Adderley ones before. They're in fantastic condition and I can't find any damage to them, even the delicate posies at t...
