This is something that i sent into london radio station (LBC) suffice it to say that it was not read out.
When i was a child i would often carry around knife, such as a small hunting knife or a pen knife, i had no intention of stabbing anyone, i just liked the knife, i thought it was cool, but had i been picked up by the police and given a jail sentence, i would have been criminalised, may well have ended up as a criminal, certainly the likelihood of this happening would have been put up, having mandatory sentences for possession of a knife, ultimately will not curtail knife crime, and in the long term will end up putting crime up overall.
whats more if a person is carrying a knife because they don't feel that the streets are safe and feel that they need to carry one as protection, and you tell them that they can't do that, then from their perspective you are basically saying that they don't have a right to protect themselves, they are unlikely to listen to this or heed it and who can blame them.

Wierd
so..................
people think i'm wierd, or so i've been told, well i guess i am then, and as such i think it would be interesting to look at the derivation of the word, bassically it comes from the ancient norwegian idea of the web of wyrd ie the network by which one traverses the worlds (midgard, asgard, svartlehiem, and so on and so forth) the shaman would be able to project themselves through those pathways and bring back knowledge for the benifit of the tribe, this person would be strange in so much as they would be by their very nature somewhat unconnected with the everyday normal world, because they were bassicaly insane, atleast by modern standards but now in the larger than tribal world the word has become watered down and now just means strange which means unknown and wierd which as i have just demonstrated really just means having knowledge beyond the normal or knowing the unknown if a wierdo is both strange and knowledgable of the unknown then to be wierd is to know yourself in all your wierd and strange glory, as such you're probebly a bit nuts as well, but thats Ok, who isn't a bit nuts in this day and age, i know i am. Ha ha ha aha aha ahaha haha ha ah aha ha.

Pieces of film memerabilia that i would love to own.
From 'the shining' the red jacket worn by Jack Nicholson's character, the photograph right at the end with Jack Nicholson's character in the front row, the huge model of the maze, and all of those 'all work and no play make jack a dull boy' bits of paper.
From 'Hellraiser' The bloody mattress, the puzzle boxes, the column of souls or whatever it was called from the third film the one that they have 'Pin Head' in obviously it was hollow so the actor, Doug Bradley, would be able to stand in it, just think it would be really cool to stand in it, though i think they may have destroyed it in the filming, and of course all of the cenobite costumes from all of the movies but particulaly 1 to 3.
Thats it for now
Buzz Whirrr buzz buzz.
Just nearly run over by an electric car...... well i'm assuming it was an electric car it was buzzing and whiring like a childs wind up toy so i'm assuming it was, i tell you this their going to have to make them sound an awfull lot meaner before they really catch on.
Still it could have been worse i know someones who's friends aunt WAS run over by a HOBNOB van......... course it actually killed her........ and yet some how its still funny, we used to joke that they should cattered the funeral free of charge to make up for it,,,,,,,,,, though maybe such an offer would have been seen as being obnoxious insulting and hoghly insensitive......but damn it would have been funny and i do love my hobnobs.
Oh and the van was ACTUALLY shaped like a hobnob.
The electric car that nearly ran me over was just shaped like a cream coloured mini.

Pulling the trigger: the gun as sorcerors wand.
You pull the trigger and your just open hand becomes a fist, try it, put your hand out, close three of the fingers leaving the fourth just curved round a bit at the top, close it, and your making a fist, there is a power in this, you point a hand, make a fist and bad shit happens to the guy you point it at. MAGIC, that’s what this must have seemed like to those who first discovered it, and so it was for those who first made gunpowder would have been alchemists, men of magic and of science, and though I cannot speak of science, magic is always addictive; what’s more when gunpowder was first made, the urine of priests was used in the process, so gunpowder and by extension guns became holy and right and correct and of the path of god, would that they had seen the demon but they did not, for magic is always beguiling.

Exerts from a recent essay i wrote for my retail skills course. pt1
Body language, by which I mean things such as posture, stance, positioning of arms and so on and so forth. These can tell someone a lot about what a person really thinks when they are saying something for instance they could be saying I love you” but their body language may tell you something else.
Talking, i.e. direct communication, standing in front of someone and imparting information to them through a complex series of organized sounds called words.
Non verbal communication, similar to talking in terms of its directness but less complex, it basically constitutes someone making sounds and noises in order to indicate something such as grunting to imply aggression, disdain, or even amusement, sighing to indicate boredom, tiredness so on and so forth.
Gestures, similar to non verbal communication but visual rather than auditory, this can include such things as shrugging your shoulders in order to indicate that you do not know or in fact do not care, and brandishing a clenched fist to indicate any number of things such as aggression annoyance or even, as is the case in movements such as communism / socialism and anti - fascism, solidarity.
Actions, like all previously mentioned methods of communication, this is direct, face to face, and often toe to toe; however unlike the previously mentioned methods this one is not primarily a method of communications though it is likely to speak louder, for instance telling someone that you hate them is very direct and leaves little room for misinterpretation but seeing as some people are big headed and / or dumb enough to believe that everyone is incapable of feeling anything but love or at the very least compassion for them, just saying that you hate them won’t cut the mustard, but if you try and strangle them then this leaves no room for doubt or naiveté on anyone’s part. Likewise anyone can say I love you, but kissing someone hugging them or doing something for them will make your words sound far more convincing.

Speaking with/of Authority.
The concept, or at least the word, authority is often, in fact lets cut the crap and the benefit of the doubt pleasantries, the word authority is ALWAYS misunderstood. It is taken to mean a person or group having control, usually legal control, over something or even everything. It means nothing of the sort, the concept of authority has nothing to do with control, governing or any sort of enforcement, it is to do with authorship, it is a creative act and has nothing to do with any sort of power game, it is to do with making the rules, and if you have to resort to governing or any sort of enforcement then you’ve already lost, you have failed as the authority, the receptacle of authorship, and you should be farmed off, and try your hand at different sort of authorship. Many politicians have learnt that and done so, before his death former government minister Robin Cook had written several best selling thrillers, many more however find a middle ground, stay in government and just become terrific liars. They may have failed as the authority but they almost make up for it by getting away with lies that are often quite outrageous, although this actually has nothing to do with their’, as I have already said, non existent authority, quite the opposite actually, people have so little respect for politicians that we just assume that they’re always lying, the upside of this is that when they do lie, which is much, but not all of the time, we fully expect it, and so we just accept it as something that is an unfortunate but necessary part of being a politician, and that we can’t do anything about it. Through such motions democracy is made null.
Alternatively, and there should always be an alternative.
If a celebrity is someone who is celebrated, and a celebrator is someone who celebrates, then it can be said that if an author is someone who writes, then an authority is someone who is written.
