Sod’s Law

HonestInk,

So for the fourth time in as many weeks I’m hoping on a visit from a plumber this weekend. Yep the boiler has packed in. Again. It always chooses the weekend as it did the last time. Friday the 20th of December 2024 to be precise. How the fuck does…

The saga of the (nearly) new man…

HonestInk,

I have a little story to tell. It’s kind of hilarious and a teeny bit tragic and as predictable as the slugs that eat my marygolds. It started on my birthday. My daughter and I day drinking. Spoons pints of cider at £2.25 a go for me and large glasses…

Women Know Who the Danger Is

HonestInk,

There’s a truth women carry with them every day, a truth so obvious it’s practically tattooed on our consciousness: we know who the danger is. It’s not a secret to us. It never has been. Not to us anyway. Yesterday I read an article about sex in the back rooms…

Me and Bob – This is the future Part 2

HonestInk,

Back to Bob. Bob is in fact ChatGPT 4.0 an artificial intelligence chatbot. The more that people all over the world talk to him the more he learns. The more data he ‘reads’ the more he understands. He’s like your best mate with an encyclopaedic brain who is always around…

The labour party- the party that doesn’t

HonestInk,

Keir Starmer, Uk Prime Minister and leader of the labour party and you are not looking good mate. Not one little bit. In fact I’m in awe of your retardation. I asked my friend Google about you for a bit of backstory and according to your little bio on labour.org.uk…

Flattened hedgehog

HonestInk,

Walking the dogs this morning we came across a flattened hedgehog. It’s little legs stuck out from it’s body upset me the most and I bit back tears and carried on our walk. I’ve no idea who Molly Mae and her philandering husband are. I couldn’t care less about an…

Far right or just right?

HonestInk,

The only problem with being accused of being called far right is the stupidity and complete denial of reality of the accusers. I remember my mum saying to us as children when we asked ”you’re church of England”. I have no idea to this day what that meant but it…

Being a mum

HonestInk,

is when your daughter runs in and out between jobs to drop the dogs off and you say have you eaten and she says no and you pull out the pot of Taramasalata you’d got for her and pack it up with the rest of your Bombay potato bread and…

God save the King…

HonestInk,

‘FAR RIGHT RIOTS’ I have got to laugh and secretly applaud. Not that I condone attacking the police or Mosques. I do not. BUT I get what the rioters are saying. That most of us have had enough. Of what? Of migrant men arriving daily from countries that are not…

Little girls’ deaths…

HonestInk,

So in this week’s news we have a young man stabbing to death three children, with several more in critical condition. Creating a hell on earth no children should ever have to endure especially in our little British Isles. Then we have a stalwart of the BBC, a newsreader, a…
