Holidays are great at the start but with all good things they have to come to an end and today is the end of my holiday

Why is it that its exciting to go to collect someone from an airport but depressing to take them back again ?? We all know its coming as we can not stay on holiday forever !! ( mores the shame ) and you know good friends have to go home so they can either come back again another time or you can go visit them

Well a good time has been had by all, so now its back to work to pay for it !! lol..lol

I would however recommend paying a visit to Warwick Castle as they have made many improvements and its well worth going to if you have friends to entertain etc.

Well here's to the next holiday whenever that may be

Well I have reached the half way stage in my holiday and the British weather has caught up with me well at least the forecast has been right once this week its a shame they are right about the bad weather !!

I have a friend from Sweden over for the first solo holiday of her life and it has been a lot of fun if maybe a bit hard keeping up with a 21 year old at my age !! (48) So far I have managed to be the perfect tour guide visiting London etc and it was nice of my home town to arange the towns carnival for the weekend of her arrival to give an added free bonus to the entertainment

You know the younger generation get a lot of well deserved bad press with their anti social ways and disrespect of others and life in general, so its a very great and pleasant suprise when you get to see the flip side of the coin and get to spend time with a free thinking, fun loving wonderful human being that has a great deal of respect for herself and more so for others whilst still being her own person and doing the things her generation wants to do without all the hassle for others.

I think that this is living proof, if proof needed, that its not down to the way life is these days or the schools but the parents and the way people are brought up.

Well at least the roads are a safer place until Monday when I will be returning to the madness of being a truck driver once again so make the most of it people !!!

Its that time of year and I am on holiday and so far have not been rained on and yes I am in England !!! then again its only my second day of holiday !! lol

To be honest when I say holiday I should really have said " tourist guide " as I have my best friends daughter over for a visit so I may be in need of another holiday straight after this one ..lol..

It would seem however that a lack of a sense of direction runs in the family as like her mother, my very welcome guest, managed to get lost three times at Arlanda airport and at one point was trying to get back on a plane that took her back home to the High Coast where she started from could this have been a sign of some sort ?? or just a perfect example of daughter taking after mother still all's well that ends well and no drama's at Heathrow.

So far we have been to Windsor Castle as thats only 15 minutes from Heathrow so a great tourist attraction ticked off with the minimum effort from me and maximum cool points. The ace up my sleeve is that my guest is 21, female and into fashion etc so when all else fails " GO SHOPPING " lol..lol What is it about some women and shopping ??? they spend all day going around every shop trying on everything in every shop only to end up buying from the first shop they went into lol..lol

Well we will just have to see how good a guide I am and how long the English weather will behave itself

OK !! so I am not the most active blogger known to man but does that mean I have nothing to say ??

I would prefer to say that I have far too much to say and not enough time or maybe the skills to say it

As for the time to sit and vent my thoughts on a blog thats a different story all together as my brain is normally fried by the time I have completed a 12 to 15 hour day on the highways and by ways of Britain trying to avoid all the other metal boxes with wheels that seem to think they are the only one on the road.

I have no idea where to start with issues that have crossed my path this week alone!! Tax is driving me mad, memebers of various parliments we have here are once again, to no one's suprise, being caught ripping the country off with their expence claims as it would seem now that not only are we paying for our prime ministers sky TV we are paying for childcare for the for another MP because on occations her nanny has answered a phone call or picked up the mail on the door step!!

Big Brother has appeard on TV once again for the 9 series or something. Can anyone please tell me the point ?? its total rubbish that cloggs up a TV channel for the best part of 3 months !! Just how sad do you have to be to appear on such a crap programme and just how sad a life do you need to get addicted to watching it ??

The Human Rights Act. This week here in the town where I live we had to move a prisoner from one court to another as he was in the wrong court. This was a distance of approx 200 metre's but because meant crossing a road and the prisoner would have to be handcuffed they had to divert a prison van 150 miles to move him as it would have been against his human rights to be seen in public with in handcuff's !!! they could not put him in a police car as " its not the police's job to transfer prisoners" even though the court he was going to is part of the main Police station in town This cost us local tax payers a fortune all to keep these political correctness morons happy.

European Cup Finals .. we have no national teams playing in these finals so why the hell are we getting 2 live matches a day or something ?? there is not enough good programming on TV as it is!! I am sure that they could have put these games on a pay per view channel or something and not on the BBC where once again tax payers money is being wasted on football matches that mean nothing to us. But we do have national Rugby teams playing in New Zealand and south Africa on tours but if we want to watch them we have to pay !!! ( OK I admit I hate football and love Rugby )

Right I am off to connect up my new toy ( DVD player ) this could take some time as with all men I will be attempting this task without the aid of the instruction provided as that how we " MEN" do such things
