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the mainframe of the UK political arena to which I cannot fail to notice that Democracy has been forgone and instead been replaced by propaganda of the worst kind.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.
19th December 2016
The Global Madness to which goes under the banner of Christmas continues and I still ask myself the obvious question of "Why". Maybe it is me who is getting grumpy but I remember when we visited our families at Christmas and often just baked a cake or mince pies and took them round as a present but today it is a total commercial market of who can spend the most on others and then behind their back, discuss behind closed doors just how little they spent on you..!!
When I see the news at night of people round the world fleeing for their lives, I ask myself what they will get for Christmas and how much our world does not value money and posessions that are fundamental to life, when there are people dying for simpe needs like fresh water or a portion of food. The commercial world has so much to answer for and humanity is no longer a reality in the daily lives of others.
I was in my city centre today and as one might expect, the
chaity collectors were out in force and with little enthusiasm
except to say that they were presumably offering there time for free "I hope". However, what I noticed in the crowds was just how many people stepped to one side to avoid the request for some money, or worse still was the embarassment of watching people lok deep into the darkest corner of their wallet or purse to find the smallest amount of currency they could find and even then it was on the basis that it would be more beneficial to them to get rid of, than actually feel generous about helping someone with a small token of kindness that may affect there Christmas in such a positive way and deep down I felt quite ashamed of what I saw.
The will of the world to help others is one that appears to have lost us all over the last 30-40 years and perhaps our values have changed to the point of insignificance and I for one would hope that it changes backwards in so many ways.
I do have a theory about much of this bad feeling and it is often self inflicted by charities and such like. I personally remember the Salvation Army using colelcted monies to trade on an investment program within the banking world that turned out to be a scam, the bad press that hit the headlines was that £25,000,000.00 was lost to a banking scam and this is just one of many countless charities that are at best "questionable" or dubious for so many reasons. I also anger at what is described as "Expences or Trustee Allowances" that are taken out of charities funds to see so called celebraties compensated for there modest contrabution toward the so called cause, they should be ashamed.
The way I view Santa is through a cunical eye and sarcastic offering. I truly belive in the world being kind to others and for me, why not use that time as Christmas but when you see that the self inflicted death rate goes up (Suicide), Divorce rate goes through the roof and family feudes goes mad then I will always ask myself "What Good Will". I saw on the news our wonderful Prince Harry helping kids in Africa which was such a delight to watch and then when I see how many kids just want someone to play a game with them, spend some quality time teaching them etc, I ask why no one follows Harry in a local way and puts a smile on someones face for free. Maybe if you are reading this, you should just do one kind gesture for someone and spend a morning or afternoon helping someone for free and just see how good it makes you as well as them feel inside. To put it in retail terms it's "Buy One Get One Free". What could it hurt to show a little kindness to others this of all weeks ?.
For those who are with families this year, I hope you all have a truly wonderful time and for those who's families are away, overseas, working or otherwise not with you, please spare them a kind thought of good times and if possible, give them a call or something. It will make you feel better and also brighten up their day so much. For me, Im not 100% clear what Im doing this year but what I do know is what Im not doing and despite 18 years of so called closeness of freindship, have decided that Bullshit is bullshit no matter what trimmings it has on it and as I have always been regected at Christmas, bank holiday or any other event, I have turned my back forever in view of a more optimistic future and positive focus on my own life. Im very posstive about the new events in my world and expect that 2017 is going to be a bright start and a reality check to my life in the direction to which I am heading. If you want to know what they are, it's quite simple and on a need to know basis and as you do not need to know, you can simply leave yourself wondering why I never told you about the good things in my world and how the bad things are left so far down the road that I no longer care enough to share that information. If you do see Santa, please thank him for my present as it truly was a gift from God and something that a price cannot be placed upon it but suffice to say it is all I ever dreamed of and it is something that will last forever and has no possibility of "Refund" in any way.
Merry Christmas All From The Wonderful World Of Peter Hulbert and please go safe, if you are having a drink, please don't drive and lets see you all back here in good spirit in 2017. I will leave you all on a positive note with a local rendition of some mates of mine who are hoping to raise lots of money over Christmas with a great and funny song for charity, Good Luck Guys and God Bless.
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.
