  • Family day out.

    On the promenade at Hythe, New Forest.

    A couple of photographs taken on Hythe promenade. Bit of a family day out I'm thinking.

    Family on the Pier blog

    ...and.

    Family on the Pier II bog

    Dunno which I prefer. The young girl is the focal interest.

  • Practicing Seagulls.

    The south coast's premier seagull formation bombing team, 'The Solent Shitehawks', were caught practicing yesterday at Hythe. Note the illegal use of the red T shirt being worn by the target drone.

    Dennypoos......................a see'r of things others can't.

  • Traffic Jams.

    I accidentally caught some of UKIP's election broadcast last night and they confirmed waht I had suspected all along.

    Traffic Jams are caused by immigrants!

    Thin end of the wedge, I say. What about the errosion on the East Coast? Surely caused by migrant workers tilting the landmass with their numbers.

    Global warming? Immigrants, they're all darker than us Anglo Saxons and so absorb more heat from the sun.

    Credit crunch...don't get me started on that.

    Thing is, many people will have seen that broadcast and believed that all our troubles can be put down to one group of people. I believe a certain Mr Hitler had a similar approach in the thirties.

    Dennypoos........................wheat/chaff, know the difference.

  • Three from Church.

    It has to be the first time in a decade that I've been inside a church, but perhaps, looking at the results, I've left it too long.

    Back to my usual minimalist style and taken on my first bike ride proper which was a mini tour of the New Forest. Needless to say I took loads of photos (192) and will sort them and post a link as and when.Click on images to enlarge.

  • Whoa.

    It's a scary world out there, as can be witnessed by the following:

    Dennypoos..............not always a purveyor of filth.

  • 'The Misunderstood'...not 'The Bastards'

    The whole 'content of this blog' has vanished and I can't be arsed to re-write.

    The up-shot is HALIFAX have canceled all fees relating to my Acc and appologised for the misunderstanding.

    Result.

    Dennypoos............has vitriol, piss&vinegar, and bile available mail order.

  • The credit crunch and I.

    Generally speaking the two have no real interface, but following a medical wotsit and being unable to sign on and thus getting no benefit and housing allowance, this is now not the case.

    Knowing I was going to be light of money this month, I spoke to my landlord and cleared a bit of breathing space.
    Unbeknown to myself the Halifax, (hereafter refered to as those bastards), paid the rent causing me to be 362.06 over my overdraft limit. They've never done that before and in fact contacted me once previously denying payment for a much lesser amount.

    Irrespective as to the reasons for this state of affairs, I was even more incensed by the letter, which can be seen below.
    Nb. for the benefit of those who've had a hard day at the orofice, I've highlighted the bits that, should I possess a goat, would have got it.

    It goes without saying I have an appointment to see a minion at my branch and am, even as you read this, dusting off my office kit, (in which I look the bollocks).

    Dennypoos...........whose scanner cannot read yellow flourescent highlighter.

    the key words being a fee, the fee and the request for a secondary amount, totalling £63.00

  • This Korean Malarky.

    So tin-pot state, North Korea likes to do a bit of sabre rattling and spend its money on missiles and nuclear bombs. Thus leaving us in the civilised world having to feed a large part of their population. $105,000,000 aid in 2007.

    "Fuck the slitty eyed little bastards", may well be the comment from HRH Duke of Edinburgh... and many others. The fact of the matter is that even with the best possible harvest imaginable, Nth Korea can only feed 85% of its population, and that's with maize mainly. Floods in 2007 wrecked that years harvest and led to widespread STARVATION.

    So, the dilemma is this,:

    Do we stop all aid.? In which case the poorest section of the community starve.

    Do we get China to get off its now fat capitalist arse and use some muscle?

    Or do we, as seems more likely, do nothing other than to write to the 'Guardian' and 'Blog.co.uk', saying, " ho-hum, what a shame but what can we do?"

    We could invade this co-member of the 'axis of evil' (along with Iraq), but they've not got any oil, so that's a non starter.

    Dennypoos..........lives outside the range of any ICBMs, and will, when it gets light, photograph a bee on a chive flower, in a thoughtful, caring way.

  • At 'Dennypoos Acres'

    Not my usual stuff and a bit rushed as it was about to piss down, but I promise you better next time. Tripod, Pre-focussed, et all.

    Dennypoos...............Nature boy/Naturist etc.

  • Missing from my life...

    I've come to realise that I am alone in being a man of NO fridge magnets. See below for evidence.

    missing

    I've checked with friends, (few). With aquaintances, (more). Shopkeepers,traders and the like, and here in sunny Freemantle I am unique...Not just magnets either,kids pictures, post-it notes, and messages of any kind.

    My life didn't seem empty until now, perhaps I was mistaken?

    Dennypoos...........................a paradox unto himself.

  • Not the best place...

    ... to leave your house keys while you go out shopping.

    keys

    Yes, I Dennypoos, have officially become senile. What kind of dickbrain goes shopping and leaves the keys to 'Dennypoos Acres' actually in the front door.

    I would say that this is a one-off, but it isn't. Nurse! The screens!

    Dennypoos........................the end is nigh.

  • A Denny Tip.

    Ah, there you are, my little gardening buddies. I have today saved myself a bit of dosh and being the generous sort, (when it costs me nowt) I pass on wot I've found.

    I was checking online seed catalogues for some oddities and stuff not generally in the garden centres. Whoo-Hoo, messrs Thompson and Morgan have for a limited period a half price offer on ALL veg seeds. I think it ends on the 14th.

    So ideal for successional sowing of multi-coloured beetroot or odd carrots or unusual salads was what I first thought.
    Then the lightbulb above my head stuttered into life and I realised that the vast majority of seeds have more than one season of viability, see your part used seed packets and you'll see what I mean. Most lose some viability over a couple of years so don't expect 100% germination but all the seeds I bought this year have a use by date of at least 2011 so this is well worth doing.

    I'm particularly looking forward to growing my own Lemongrass and yellow beetroot.

    Dennypoos......................Gardener to.............Dennypoos.

  • Peter Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Music fans should note that a programme about Peter Green, founder of the original 'Fleetwood Mac' is being shown on BBC4 at 9.30 tonight.

    Dennypoos.............telling da truth, brudda.

  • Comments and Posts and stuff.

    I can only apologise to folks if I've made a comment and have not replied to sub-comments and stuff as it would appear that I'm no longer getting email notification of activity from friends.

    Dunno the reason for this, anyone any ideas? I did check my settings and the box to get email notification was ticked....and so am I, as in thoroughly 'Ticked Off'.

    Dennypoos.........still needing the help of young 'un's in the know.

  • 06.31

    ..just putting the biking gear on ready for this mornings jaunt in the saddle.

    Catch you later, lazy bastards.

    Dennypoos.............up and at 'em.

  • OCA....oxalis tuberosa.

    Anyone out there in blogoland ever grown these plants? I'm just looking for unusual stuff to grow and eat and have come across these Andean root crops. Never tasted them but t'internet tells me they taste a bit like lemony new potatoes.

    Dennypoos.......needs help in this area, (as in oh so many others).

  • Ah, another bright morn...

    ...and while you miserable bunch of slobs were still in the land of 'Nod', (where does that come from I wonder), I Dennypoos, cyclist re-born, soon to be 'King of the Mountains', currently 'Queen of the gradual inclines', was oot & a'boot on the treader. Turning back the years as t'were.
    Funny how when walking I would get pissed off and scorn cyclists who rode on the pavement. Don't times change! The only way to make any progress through town, not to mention avoiding arseholes in white vans is to sometimes use the footpath. Dodging past Red traffic lights will no doubt be next.

    Dennypoos...............now going for a shower.

  • It's happened...and sooner than I'd reckoned

    Yes, I dennypoos, cycliste nouveau, have had my first contre-temps with that sub species of humanity..."White Van Man". I'm trolling along Shirley high St when this pond life person pulled out of a side road without looking at fucking all.
    Straight after pulling out he had to stop as traffic was at a standstill. Seizing the moment I got to his van and after banging on the side, moved up to the drivers window, where this dim, but belligerent builder type,was trying to figure out what all the noise was. Mentioning 'Specsavers' and his parentage in one breath, I finished with the germaniscised version of the Saxon word 'Cunny' and buggered off up a side street before his single brain cell started to function.

    I have a feeling that as a cyclist, I'll have truckloads more of this to come. I must hone my insults into pithy one liners to be delivered with venom and impact.

    Cyclodenny says.....................the four letter Germanic version of 'cunny' relates to a ladies bits, for those who were struggling to keep up.

  • A treat for the ladies?

    Much talked about bike is now fully assembled and tweaked so as to suit me. For the doubters, here's a happy snappy, taken whilst out this morning burning off the calories, (the avoidance of Moobs etc). Yep the jacket is a tad large and yep, the legs, well all I can say by way of an explanation, is that they reach the ground.

    Big Jacket2

    Dennypoos........................weight loss imminent

    err, and that's a Belgian grave, not German.

  • Artiste dahn Sarf.

    This ones for Izzy.

    Opera busker

    Truth to tell, though I'm not an Opera buff...he was only average. Would have gone down a storm in in a boozer after about 10pm.

    Dennypoos..................tells it like it is.

  • Rest easy boys and girls, I'm back.

    Yep, just when you thought you'd got rid of me for good, I pop up again. Bear with me for a few days whilst I get my sorry arse up to speed but in the meantime I post this little blogette.

    dermot-murnaghan-presenting-eggheads

    Dermot Murnaghan, today, on 'Eggheads' likened Phil Lynott to Jimi Hendrix, saying, " Phil Lynott, Irelands own Jimi Hendrix".

    I think not. Indeed I know not.

    Hendrix was a Seattle born negro who played a Stratocaster as 'lead' gutarist and was left handed.

    Lynott was an Irish half caste who played 'Bass' guitar and was right handed.

    As Alexander the Meerecat would say, "Is not even sound the same,"
