Further to my gripe about bad drivers, I have now found the street where they all live. I begin to wonder sometimes where some of these people get their licences from ebay or Tescos "Buy one get one free" offers.
The street where they live is Florence Road, I know this from helping a friend move into another accomodation. When doing this the parking was needing a little attention, I double parked and there was a car wanting to get passed. There was enough room to drive a double decker bus through the gap but no she was a jaguar and started to struggle through the gap so I moved and drove around the block. When I pulled up again, a man (so I am not been sexist) was trying to pull out and he had enough room to pull out and drive off. Instead he took two attempts to move out. So where do they get the driving licences from, not only that but Florence Road branches off the main road Wellingborough Road cars on that road drive so slow that you can not see 30mph.
Please will somebody do something about the bad drivers in Northampton and the entire area of London with commuter belt. This weekend is Sliverstone the only area you will see speed is on the race track as this weekend you see traffic jams from M1 to M40 for the whole weekend.
I am dreading going for a job transfer interview at Brackley on Monday as it will be the traffic that will make or break the journey.
Please if you are reading this and can do something about the traffic so that I can be a happy chappy.

Hustings
Two years ago I stood for County Council and this is me when I was pictured in the local press, the Northampton Chroncile and Echo the paper that never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.

Where am I in life and what is my vocation
Greetings Blogreaders. I've just spent an evening celebrating my Bishops anniversary so that if I sound incoherent then it is because I have had a few.
I have sat and wondered after my Dad's Birthday what am doing in life and wondered what I am here for.
I have decided that I am here to make a difference to society.
What that means to you blogreaders might be something different to what it means to me so please comment on what it means blogreaders,

What is happening to this country?
I've been a driver now for 15 years and am now concerned about the way people in Northampton drive.
When I was a driver in Hull I could make progress on the road as everybody else was making progress. Now we have a speed limit and people never stick to it, instead they drive slower. People cause congestion for no apparent reason. In Northampton roundabouts are major congestion points, worse of all traffic lights drivers take it that green is stop for a few seconds more. In my book green means go and you go on the g of the green.
When I passed my test all those years ago, I was asked to make progress what is the current story now blog readers? I even nearly failed as I was not making progress on certain areas of Hull. So tell me why is the country going so slow? Even in London if you have the chance to put your foot down they put a speed camera in that area which brings people down to a crawl again.
Coming up in my next thoughts is about Tony Blair. In the history books will he be called a good Prime Minister or one who like a firework was full of potential gave a lot of fizz but we were glad it was over. So give your comments blog readers so then I can comply a full non treasonable account of the 10 years he had as PM.

Where did it all go wrong?
As you could probably make out blog readers that my life is not the ideal or least how I wish it could have been. Kasporov the chess player when he got beaten was asked where did it all go wrong and comedians have got him saying pawn to king four game one which is normally the first move.
So for me if I was asked the same question, where would I begin? I would say that it went wrong in a few places. First I think was crossing the road after a school trip when I got run over, this started all of the bullying at school which got worse throughout my school life and effected my mindset in making decisions throughout my school career and first door out I took to stop the bullying. At home if I had a Father that could listen to me, instead of pushing through what he thought was right for me, actually asking me what I thought was right for me even looking through my results and seeing what I was good at. It could have been possible that I would have stayed at school and gone to University when the degree was something of value.
However, that was when I was young unable to make a fully found decision. How can the government believe that at 13 you can make a proper decision that could effect the whole rest of your life? It is wrong of them to close off subjects then which now the government has learnt their lesson and have given students today a broader choice. The previous generation had the 11+, this made the decision which way of life the student takes the academic or the practical. A child may be not be academic at 11 but academic at 13 instead. This test does not give you that option to change.
I divert of the point, I think that if I took the academic route when the degree meant anything I then would not have the maturity to live life on my own and I may have lost all morality and slept my way through University and caught every STD on record maybe ones that could not be treated and spread it around the University. Then I wouldn't have had the long career I have always dreamed of as I would be dead.
I am glad to have done my degree when I did it, as I had the maturity to do it and keep my morality intact. It may have been nice to have had a little intimate female company but no female came close. I had female company but not intimate so I'm not that repulsive to any ladies that are reading this and wanting a one to one with the writer.
So if I'm glad that I had made the mistakes that I made before then what do I regret? I regret not getting the help that I needed when I needed it. The pieces of help that I needed and perhaps still need is how to be assertive and making my point clear to others. Because most of the people that I meet either take advantage or move on without me. I wished I had the talent to make my point and not be left feeling frustrated or taken advantage of.
The other part of me thinks that if I knew how to grieve properly, instead of moving on and seeing it come out other places instead. The first loss, that I really do think that if I dealt with it properly I would have been able to deal with losses better, was the death of my first Grandmother. (I say my first Grandmother as she was the first to go she was my Dad's mother, my Mum's mother was 4 years later) I think that if I dealt with this death better my relationship with others would have been as less intense as they were, for friends or even aquaintences. My relationships were as if my life depended on it. This intensity put people off and I think that if I dealt with the grief of losing my Grandmother first then the relationships with others wouldn't have ended so soon. I know that I can be pleasant to be around but back then as I was too dependent on others it put them off. (If you are reading this Blogreaders you know who you are)
If you have seen the film Sliding Doors you would know where this next part is leading to. If you haven't then I'm afraid that you need to read on. I believe that if I became more assertive, able to deal with grief better than I did then I would be in a better position than I am today.
Another area in my life I think could have been dealt with better was to have taken time out, from graduation to employment waiting for the one rather than the one right now. If I became more assertive and confident in knowing my own direction rather than been flexible into fitting were society needs me, employers would then see that I am employable.
This may be my longest blog entry but I had to get it off my chest and thank you blog readers for reading this latest entry as it may explain as to where I am in life. It may even help you blog readers to understand me.
