29th November 2018
Here we all are at the end of November and the end of the year creeps ever closer to the point that it's maybe a good time to look back and reflect on what was or what could have been or even what is going to be if we are more positive minded.
I try hard to avoid Politics on my blogs but I feel that this time, even myself am allowed a say over what is happening within the mainframe of the UK political arena to which I cannot fail to notice that Democracy has been forgone and instead been replaced by propaganda of the worst kind. The situation over BREXIT has totally turned around and the will of the people has been totally ignored in favor of a no leave policy by our Prime Minister and instead she tells us that we are leaving but remaining indefinitely until a later moment in time and we must pay a £39 Billion divorce settlement on the way out of the door along with having no political vote or say within the EU........!!. Yup, thats what I said and it is 100% true but we are all waiting to see how many MP'S have listened to their constituents and who is just brown nosing to climb the ladder to Cabinet at the cost of Democracy and the slavery of the people. I for one am very angry at this situation and not only hope that Mr's May not only looses the vote but looses it with such a huge margin that she suffers her career loss and is forced to resign and be replaced by at least an honest MP. I have no issue with her selling her story but to refuse or deny the people after they voted is pure dictatorship and unforgivable in the world of Peter Hulbert and his followers.
The problem with some people is that they may well provide a nice smile and an attractive proposal but underneath is something ready to bite you that will hurt more than your pride and out Prime Minister Theresa May has fooled the many and also the majority but not the Brexit supporter as we saw through it and for those who try and tell me she is a woman of high morals, I suggest you view the link above by clicking her name and reading the truth about her deep down values as you may be surprised as to what hides beneath the smile of a woman who enjoys a smug dance and smirk at the people to whom she has in the past refused to communicate with on occasions of national disaster such as the people of London have suffered over the last few months. The only reason she is willing to come out fighting now is for her own future but never fought over the UK future in any way. Go check out this woman that the media like to say is the daughter of a vicar and woman of God. You may be shocked and at the very least surprised in what you find. Always remember the rule that is "All that glisten is not always gold". Or in the words of Peter Hulbert, beware of the nice cloths and cute smile as underneath is a snake with very poisonous venom and it is still very hungry and extremely angry. You were warned is all I have to say on this matter and for me, the fight goes on.

Here we are just 48 hours from the Big Man dropping down the chimney and delighting us by stealing the mince pie we left out, and only giving the one carrot left out for Rudolf that was designed to be chopped up and shared for all of the hard working transport team but who am I to complain. We spend out lives warning our children about strangers and then allow one in who is wearing a fake beard and strange cloths to cover up his real look and make sure he is not recognised on CCTV. As if that is not bad enough, we also build a snow man outside which in truth is a naked man wearing nothing but a scarf and smoking a pipe........!!
So, when it comes to hypocrisy we the human race are as bad as it gets in so many ways. I often see and hear about other countries and it never ceases to amaze me just how arrogant we are in the west and how we just judge Christmas on money and pretentious crap. For myself (Peter Hulbert) I prefer the more honest and simple Christmas where is focused on people and being kind and not about who got the latest Play Station or Best Gold Watch. There are people around the world who have nothing and I would happily give all my presents to someone in need than someone in want. My question to you all is but a simple one. What are you doing for Christmas and will it be focused on you or others. Sadly, most people will answer this question with a moral lie but I understand why but why do we not offer a little kindness to others over what is a period of so called "Good Will To Others" where does the good will start and end. How many will offer a McDonalds to someone homeless of penniless or simply give an old out of fashion coat or pair of shoes that has never been worn but not this years fashion to someone in genuine need. Not many I suspect. Ok, so the rant is over and I hope I have pricked your conscience in some little way and made you aware that there is real poverty in the world and the madness and selfishness that the west seems to embrace through it's plastic throw away system and yet people are sleeping in the street who only wish for a warm corner that is dry and safe. Lets hope that 2019 is a more caring world with less self motivation and more sharing.
28th December 2018
Here we are, back on the blog and updating what I did or didn't do over the last few days over the festive period and to be honest, it's been a bit of a revelation in doing nothing more that thinking and eating which is pretty much what I set out to do, so in many ways it's been a success in the world of Peter Hulbert by at least completing what I set out to do, albeit nothing......!!
I, like many others are looking forward to 2019 with a tainted breath of fresh air and for no real reason except that 2018 has gone and 2019 is arriving and whilst I do not make many predictions, I will say that it's looking like an exciting year ahead for a whole array of different reasons and all have been carefully thought out and planned in advance. The good will get better and the bad will get worse is the best I can offer right now but watch out for the fireworks as we move along the pathway of positivity and head forward to success at a sufficient rate of knots to set the sky on fire.
So Christmas has been and gone and all I have to show for it all is a pile of wrapping paper and lots of stuff for the re-cycling centre that quite frankly makes it all seem a joke in the end but sadly it is the world that we live in and is generally known as the throw away age where people have little if any respect for anything except there own ego.
My question to you all is but a simple one and reminds me of the words I said on my honeymoon which was "How was it for you" and was it as expected or a bit of a let down. For me it is more of a drag than an excitement as it never seems to end and as I generally dislike the falseness of it all, I would prefer to spend the time in a more valued way by achieving something at the end of it all instead of simply falling asleep through sheer boredom through over indulging of all the things that we like and the experts tell us are so bad for us. I was amused by the sighting of Skeleton Santa last week which summarised it very well for me by suggesting it was a long time coming and so let down by the end result and the fact that this Santa died whilst waiting suggests he has the same attitude to the whole escapade too.
For the crazy ones amongst you all, can I suggest a great prank to which you can play at the re-cycling centre with your cast off Christmas tree that has no purpose anymore for the rest of the year and in many instances has fulfilled it's requirements but may have one last purpose of which could give you such a buzz if you follow the instructions below and view the image to the right of how to bundle up the tree and take it to the centre for re-cycling. If your local centre is like mine, it will be occupied by rude and obnoxious people who are abrupt and ignorant and always have a health and safety reason why they cannot help you with heavy objects, this one was designed just for them. Simply wrap the tree as shown and carry it in a way that suggests it's truly heavy and make little eye contact with the staff at the centre but keep looking around as if to suggest you are doing something very wrong and don't want to be seen. My feeling is you will attract attention like a dog's arse does to a fly and only you will ever know it is a 100% joke or prank on the recycle centre staff and for the whole world to see, you have done nothing wrong but will be treated like a mass murderer on the run from the FBI. Good luck with it and I hope it goes well. It should leave a smile on your face that will last all through the new year.
31st December 2018
The countdown is now official and we are fast approaching the new year and 2019. I just received a call from my friends in New Zealand
followed shortly after from my Guru & long time friends in Australia and we celebrated the new year together and in just a few hours time I will be celebrating again with someone else from the southern hemisphere while they bring in the new year also, so it's quite a busy and exciting time today.
It's really an exciting time for all. I just heard from Rosie who is celebrating the traditional way as only the Scots can do but in her case with a twist, she lives in Australia and but a few doors from Alick which is a reminder how small the world really is.
It's a happy and exciting time for so many today and lets all share in the hope that 2019 is a peaceful and prosperous time for all and that we all learn the lessons laid out to us of the past. Forgiveness is a great lesson to learn and never to hurt or harm others is another. Accept that we all share this planet and that despite our differences, we all need to exist and the kindest way to do this is by sharing, so all I wish to do now is to offer you all my very best wishes and a "Happy New Year" for 2019 from myself "Peter Hulbert" and hope that you keep on supporting my blogs in the new year and sharing out thoughts together as we soldier on through adversity and whatever the world throws at us.
"What the Hell is Going On"................is the world going crazy?. In one week I hear that a Rusian Ambasadore to Turkey as assasinated by a Turkish Security/Police officer, followed by a mass killing of the German shoppers in an open air market in Berlin. "What is all this insanity about". It's suppsed to be the season of goodwill to others which is not a specific religious festival or tradition, just a simple simble of hope to all to show a little kindness to others and for some reason this is a signal to certain types to take presidence to this and kill others..!!. All I can say for them at this stage is I hope they are forgiven one day and come to terms with what they have done.
I have a theory about bahaviour and responses to action etc and it is a none proven theory but I susspect that if put to a vote, the majority may well agree with me and that is that love is better that hate and peace is better than war but for some weird reason, Politicians have not worked out how to profiteer or gain power through peace, unly war and dictation for some reason. For those who are contemplating anger, frustration or response to power struggles, please tell me that the picture to the left would help to calm you down in some way and not make you more angry and to that end I will feel my theory is 100% proven and successful in your individual case. If you disagree, please leave your reasons below in the space provided.
If you did write in the space provided or silently disagree, perhaps you saw the truck in the background and not the lady.......
The UK is poised and awaiting a major storm to hit our shores, I say poised but in truth I could not give a toss as in reality there is nothing I can do about it, However, I suppose it is better to be prepared in the old fashioned way of fore armed is to be for-warned but in this case it is just strong wind, rain and snow and Im sure that Eskimo's would laugh is they say it and simply take it all in their stride. Here in my part of the world (Yorkshire) we generally take it in our stride as snow is expected for Santa to do his work and we love a good moan about something and the weather is always a great reason for conversation of some kind.
I heard a story break today that whilst it will turn stormy and cold for the next few days, it will be unusually warm on Christmas day.
I am still at a point in time where I have not decided exactly what I am going to be doing at Christmas but suffice to say it will be a bore and non exciting in so many ways. However, looking forward to the horrizon, the New Year has much more values atatched to it in my world and for me, it can't come around quick enough but whilst Im waiting, the Christmas festival does give me a good excuse to smile with a cold beer while watching the time go bye and prepare myself for a long time with no beer while focusing upon duties more pressing. It is common knowledge that I am in the process of a move and over the Northern border allows me some special changes in my life and as such I am focused upon whiskey and strange money with free prescriptions and sensible people for a few years. My final location yet to be confirmed but probably already decided for so many logical reasons.
This week brought me an amusing moment of crazy where I passed a local house of preaching in West Yorkshire (Bradford) and noticed a pile of sandles and shoes, which in itself was a little strange to me but when I saw what was atatched to the bike stand, I found myseld even more amused and as such felt compeled to take a picture for my own amusement in which I now share with you all in the hope that you see the humour and not to critisise the insigator. In order to balance up the tone of this joke or humour, I have placed another picture below of an even more rediculous situation to which made me smile as the logic of such an idea of assuming this would prevent the vehicle being removed, stolen or otherwise is beyond even my wildest imagination, However, it did make me smile.
Please remember it is the season to be merry and have a wonderul Christmas and stay safe so we can all meet up back here in the start of another week of humor and sarcasm.
The wekk started out totally normal "although Im not sure what normal is these days" and whilst the weather was ok this week, people certainly are not. The madness of people who belive there own lies goes on and to those who know me, you will know what Im refereing to.
It was a good week is some respects as the Monday blues soon passed over, followed by the Tuesday cray catch up which meant a trip to the office in Holmfirth and a cup of tea in my favourit cafe "Sid's Cafe" most famous for the point used in the filming of the last of the summer wine series that frequented our TV's for so many years.
My Wednesday was a little mental at times too, I had a meeting to attend but as it was warmer here that it is in Greece, it was difficult to predict how to dress or more to the point how others may dress. The meeting went well and then it was a drive back over the hills as I promised to meet up with some friends at Meadowhall for drinks and lunch and what should have been 1-2 hours of chatting, ended up being 5 hours and a Taxi drive home due to the inability to see the car through the blurred vision produced by so much beer and whiskey.
Meadowhall has excelled this year with it's wonderful Christmas display to which they always create such a wonderful atmosphere in which to shop and it's such a family friendly place to be and I recommend it to you all.
My weekend is dedicated to my very best friend in the world who is not here with me right now but overseas and due back soon, and my daughter to whom is going out on Saturday to the o2 theatre to see a live act of the Everly pregnant brothers to whom are a huge act here and have to be seen live to appreciate the atmospher of such comedy.
My history and connection with business and based upon experience tells me that anything of commen sense with stop this week and right through the Christmas period and what will be will be and what won't be won't be. Real deals will happen and fantasy is always fantasy and as such we will start ober in 2017 with a fresh smile and a positive attitude of going forward.
If you are intending on pissing someone off this week, beware as they may have CCTV and that probably says more about them than it will about you. Anyone with CCTV is automatically a susspicious person as they need more protection from the rest of us. I have a B_tch of a neighbour and her husband is a Tw_t to whom no one ever speaks to, they have been involved in Dog fighting, arguments, threats of abuse and the list goes on and this week it was my turn to piss them off. Ha ha haaaa........they can't touch me with a barge pole but what I can say is it was super funny watching them try. The big problem with them is he is a dirty minded pervert whom is very dissliked by all because he is an alcholic and she is a nasty peice of work who just loves trouble, I hasten to say one wrong word in my face and they will rest easily with a lengthy sleep and a peaceful few days nursing the sore point of contention.
Im looking forward to some news from York and Turkey over the coming few days and if that news comes, I shall be dancing in the street in January if not before.
Can I just offer a health warning to anyone who may be looking to purchase some mince pies from Iceland this year, check out the package and you may need to smell the content to satisfy yourself that it does not smell of fish. If we are to belive the packageing, the content of these pies is "Minge" and it's very much an aquired taste in anyone world. What I would say is a fresh one is much better than an old or out of date one. These were found on a shelf in an Iceland in Sheffield and whilst it might be a special offer or taste, I would prefer the traditional ones as I know where they have been and what they are made of, the last thing I would want to find in these would be a curly hair or even worse. I like a bit of Christmas spirit but somethings are taking it too far and Im not 100% sure they are approved by Santa or any of his Elf's but it could explain via a process of eliminination just how Rudolf got his red nose or why Santa always says "Ho Ho Ho". It does beg the question why Santa gets a mince pie in every house he visits and probably explains why he empties his sack so often and rumiges in so may stockings in such a short period of time. I suppose I would be the same if I had not had any "Ho Ho Ho" in 12 months too.
It's a happy and exciting time for so many today and lets all share in the hope that 2019 is a peaceful and prosperous time for all and that we all learn the lessons laid out to us of the past. Forgiveness is a great lesson to learn and never to hurt or harm others is another. Accept that we all share this planet and that despite our differences, we all need to exist and the kindest way to do this is by sharing, so all I wish to do now is to offer you all my very best wishes and a "Happy New Year" for 2019 from myself "Peter Hulbert" and hope that you keep on supporting my blogs in the new year and sharing out thoughts together as we soldier on through adversity and whatever the world throws at us.
