Busy Month


Have been on my Blog lately been a very busy stressful couple of weeks. I run 4 different Martial Arts Organisation and their membership expires on March 27th. Most renew on time this means I have to put them on a spread sheet and send out insurance renewals etc. The worst ones are those who do not renew on time trying to explain that they are not insured falls on Death ears. Some might know I have a lot of dealings with the Russians through Sombo well believe me this bunch of dictators do not have a clue about Democracy recently tried bulling me into something, needless to say they did not get their way. Plus I am taking a team of 12 to the European Sambo Championships, what a palaver getting a Visa you have to go when you were at school and that cost another £85. On top of this I was in Holland for a big tournament in March and just returned from a family trip to Germany a somewhat hectic month.

20012 a busy year end of April British Open Scotland, May Moscow, September Scotland Commonwealth Championships, October Morocco world Master, November Minsk Worlds. I also would like to go out in my caravan Isle of Wight end of June Devon September oh and I have an operation planned in June to move a nerve in my elbow so I can get full use of my hand. Not so sure I like it as busy as this

Father to Daughter


sent to me from Curt Shearer

Father-daughter Talk
 
A rather gentle explanation of the difference in thinking between people with opposite outlooks.

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the conservative side of the fence."

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.

If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.

A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.

A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."
Well, I forwarded it to you.

Chinese Whispers

The Jungle Drums turned out to be Chinese whispers yesterday my report stating that 15 lads had attacked a boy in a school was some what exaggerated. It was just one boy who came on to school grounds to attack his sisters boyfriend by all accounts he stabbed him twice with a pair of scissors

My apologies

Knife Attack


Knife Attack

I am told a group of 15 youths attacked 15 year old with a knife, this was not in an inner city but here in Sittingbourne and in a local school, teachers had to lock the boy in a class room to protect him. Taxi drivers are telling people that the Police are having a purge on under 25 year olds as the town is supposedly awash with knives and drugs.
Can someone tell me what is a matter with these youngsters today and where are the parents? What they need is the discipline of the armed forces now there is a group of young people you can be proud off. If they can not do that let them have the discipline of Judo or Sombo Wrestling

I love Holland


I have just returned fro a competition is Holland Dalfsen; I am not going to bore you with competition but just mention couple of things I noticed about the country.

The first thing you notice is how clean the country is, I mean no litter. Everyone’s Garden is perfect, they take a great pride in their houses, no old cars left partly demolished in the gardens, no gates hanging of hinges or beer and wine bottles left in the garden. Even the countryside looks well cared and the roads on the whole are perfect NO pot holes anywhere to be seen. I especially like their markets, the cheese, the fried fish lovely The Dutch are proud of their country something I can not say about Modern Britain

There are downsides the countryside is to flat for me and the smell! The cost of fuel is horrendous Diesel £1.50 per litre Petrol £1.70 per litre and the food and a and beer is a little dearer then here

All in all a good weekend, shall look forward to going next year

Cameron and Featherstone should get the boot


David Cameron’s fixation about Homosexuals and Lesbians beggars belief, here we have a Prime Minster who refuses to listen to the public and believes everything is says must be right. I refer to his latest dictat where he says that Homosexuals and Lesbians should be allowed to marry even though the great majority of the public are against it. Once again he goes in feet first without weighing up the consequences this time it is the cost.

He appointed LibDem Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone who has now come up with the idea because of same sex marriages will see the words husband and wife, bride and groom and other such words, which will be removed from official forms. Tax and benefits guidance and immigration documents must be rewritten so they no longer assume a married couple is a man and a woman.
And private companies will be told to overhaul paperwork and computer databases containing the words.
This will cost £millions for government and business in a time when we are on the edge of bankruptcy and for what 1.5% of the population who in the last Census said they were not Heterosexual i.e. GAY. I only know two homosexuals and they train in our gym, both say all this fuss about Gay marriage is nonsense and they both thought Gays adopting was wrong, all they want is to be left alone and get on with their life.
So why does David Cameron so intent on promoting Gays is there something we do not know as for Lynne Featherstone she is a radical feminist who brought up two children by herself and has an obvious hatred of men. One thing is for sure both should be kicked out of the government and then out of parliament

Have a read of this other blog I found

Cameron must Go and his Public School Toffs

It is becoming more and more difficult being a Conservative, the only reason is why I stay is because of my Local MP and the Local Party. The leader of the Conservative Party David Cameron and his Hench man have let down all those who thought we would better under a Conservative Government then a Labour Government. The only difference I can see is that the economy is being run better then Labour but is thanks to a fine Chancellor George Osborne but the rest NO
The worst thing that ever happened was getting the LibDems involved they won very few seats yet they now have the power to run this country because David Cameron’s Conservatives and the LibDems are just the same. The tail wagging the dog

Lets look at something Cameron said during the election

Specific European Union policies include:
•   A full opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights
•   Greater protection against EU encroachment
•   Restoring national control over social and employment legislation
None of this has happened in fact there are more and more rules coming from the EU, he promised an annual limit on immigration, new curbs on unskilled workers, and “transitional controls” on new European Union members. We have more immigrants legal and illegal now then under Labour as for the Human Rights, it was reported in the press today Nick Clegg and Ken Clarke have instructed government advisers to 'ignore' the will of Parliament to reform human rights law, it was claimed yesterday, The explosive allegation was made by Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky. The LibDems do not want us to infer with the Human Rights Law they think it works and it does if you are terrorists, Militant Gay secular activist

Ken Clark has a LibDem agenda when it comes to crime he believes letting criminal out early and not putting criminals in prison will solve our escalating crime wave I expect he also thinks ice-cream doesn’t melt in the Sun

He promised that he would lead a Family Friendly government, yet British married stay-at-home mums suffer one of the highest tax burdens in the world, he is also actively promoting Gay Marriage in face of massive opposition from the public and Religious organisations, not only that there is opposition to allowing children being adopted form different racial backgrounds. Why because they may forget their heritage and it is unnatural yet they have allowed homosexuals to adopt children in what can only be considered an unnatural state, they have made a law that adoption agencies can not refuse homosexuals the chance to adopt, this has led to the closure of Catholic adoption agency well done LibDem Cameron


Him and his Lib den partners are hell bent on trying to ban Christianity in every form. An article appeared n todays paper "Minister in legal battle to stop Christians being able to wear a cross to work. This move is from Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone a LibDem MP even that terrible Labour MP Harriet Harman did not succeed with this



I could go on but enough is enough so who can lead the Party well David Davies has my vote plus I have a lot of respect for Ian Duncan-Smith plus Eric Pickles comes across as a man of the people. One thing is for sure let get rid of Cameron and his Public School cronies, the same goes for the LibDems and New Labour, lets get back to having normal people running the country, some one who some on who understands what is like to live a small house not a big mansion

Dave's 40th Birthday I hate getting Old

Dave Wellsman 40th Birthday

Dave is one of my son’s John best mate and Valerie and myself have known him since he was 5 years old him and his brother and sister played Judo with us for well over 10 years, his parents were very active in organising tournaments. John often visited Dave at Newbury where he lives, Dave moved there many years ago to follow his trade. Which was as farrier, I believe his apprenticeship was 7 years, so much for those who say the English do not know how to work. For those who may not know what a farrier is, well one of their main jobs is shoeing horses hence why Dave lives in Newbury home of horse racing.

Dave his family and friends from Sittingbourne met at 12.30pm at the Newbury Manor Restaurant this was a lovely setting overlooking a small river, Dave’s flat overlooks this beautiful little scene, with all us tucking into a club sandwich it proved a good starting point for his birthday bash. It was nice to see Dave’s family again, I asked his Gran have I changed she politely replied NO but you have got wider I challenged her on this and she said she meant wiser.

Dave rather then have some brash party opted for a meal in a good quality hotel, Donnington Valley Hotel. I expected just a few friends but we had nearly 50 people at the birthday celebration. The hotel was expensive but excellent standard and we all took advantage of the swimming pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and aromatherapy room before having an hours kip before the festivities well that’s the reason I went to my room, some of the others may have had other ideas.



6.30pm we met for drinks and of course this where everyone starts of being polite and well mannered after a few drinks this soon changed. The hotel supplied Dave with his own room and the meal started with Salmon mouse followed by Lamb shank (that was beautiful) finished with either Crème Brule or Cheese. Red and White win was in abundance. Then down to the bar and then the silly drinks, shots etc. by 12.30 am I had enough it seems Dave went of to a night club till the very early hours, lets hope he never took advantage of any fair maiden. John, Lee and Dave step Father Pete finished in the Bar at 2pm a good night was had by all.

The morning we all gathered for a big breakfast which again was very good but cost an extra £10 accept for Lee who managed to get a free breakfast, I hope he feels ashamed of himself. We left with sore heads but with good memories

EX Judo Player thief


I recently wrote about, the lack of religious teaching can lead to a moral breakdown and an increase in crime. they say proof of the pudding etc. Just recently I heard a story of. An ex 18year old judo club member who has gone the wrong, this lad was one of two brothers who trained with us for about six years both were reasonable players as was their dad who I taught as a junior. They both had good parents and when the lad reached 15 he was asked to try Johns judo class but this was to tough for him so a very easy class we had run for beginners he decided to attend
It seems he has become a drunk, drug user and thief. He was invited to a party at a members house who he knew and his thanks was to rob them of all sorts of electrical equipment but what I found very disturbing was the people he robbed were still friends on Facebook!
So where he did he go wrong? I wonder if his father had made him train with the real men's class he would he have a different role model and maybe if his father had been stricter who knows but one thing is for sure This Boy does not wrong from right something that should been instilled in him at school and since it has become unfashionable to teach RE where to they get their Moral guidance From? I will tell you where from Celebrities and shows like X factor, low life who appear in shows like The Jeremy Kyle Show become local stars overnight
