The trouble with women is.....

It would seem the world has gone stark raving bonkers. It's times like these a lone voice in the wilderness like that of Monsieur Heckles comes as a welcome tonic. Apparently two football pundits have been sacked for a spot of genteel ribbing of some female linesman!! Such was the outcry that thousands of people complained, something that i find very hard to believe as looking at the Sky TV viewing figures i doubt if they have more than one man and his dog watching half the time. Here at Casa Heckles it's banned, won't have it in the house i tell ya. I pay my TV licence [well maybe not... i'm a pensioner ha!] i don't see why i should pay twice for their dross and drivell.

Now, me being of a more mature age you'd think i'd be all against women participating in male dominated sports, but i don't. ''Equal opportunities for all'' is what i say. Linesman Sian Massey should be allowed to carry on officiating at football matches.... just as long as she's done all her housework and not neglected to make hubby's dinner first. It's all about priorities you see.

Seriously tho, the best place for a woman is in the home, out of harms way, preferably in the kitchen washing pots and doing some baking. Margaret Thatcher is a classic example of what happens when a mere woman burns her bra and gets ideas well above her station. Just look at what she did to the miners [closed all the pits so we could import our coal from Brazil]. Look at what she did to the heavy industries of the north [closed them all down so we could import everything from China]. Even after 20-30 years we still haven't recovered from her menopausal  policies. Everyone [i talk to] agrees that 'that woman' did more damage to the manufacturing output of this country than Adolf Hitler during the blitz! Need i say more?

Anyway.... as you're all aware my meagre state/war pension doesn't go far these days so i've decided to head off to get some sun on the olde shredded wheat. I'm a positive, happy-go-luck kind of chap but the constant talking about this double dip recession is really screwing up the alignment of me chakras!!

Always one to spot a bargain, i noticed a 2 week, all you can eat, break in Sharm El Sheik for £180, cheap at half the price if you ask me. Okay it may be a tad noisey at the moment but [being an ex military man] it takes a lot to phase an individual like myself. Although just in case i get trampled to death by a rioting camel outside the Taja Sevelle, i'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of my FOUR readers a happy 2011.....2012...
