I shouldn’t be writing this as it’s technically a holiday here in the U.K. , but these were both going spare , so I thought I’d publish and be damned :)
This time of the year has always been most memorable to me even back to my childhood , now I don’t know if it’s the turn of the seasons or what , but - and not to put too finer point on it , it always instils hope in me , which is probably the wrong thing to say with its religious connections at this time of the year , considering my lack of belief in such things .
Now don’t get me wrong - religion definitely has its place in the world and certainly has positive aspects , but unfortunately it is the biggest root of conflict throughout the ages, and that’s where something that purports to preach - peace , forgiveness and love - all falls down - flat on its face .
With this in mind - I see certain elements of the right wing in America have been criticising Obama for embracing Muslims in Turkey earlier this week , and I tend to think, and please correct me if I’m wrong here - right wing politics and extreme Christianity seem to go together very well in the U.S.
So it looks like were back to the historical “us verses them” scenario - yet again, and yes the perpetrators can come from both Muslim and Christian faiths , but anyone who seeks to bridge these, and other gaps need to be encouraged , and as for the extremists on both sides , well I’d just put them all in a big room full of weapons and say…………….. “get on with it” ………………… problem eliminated :)
T- Shirt Philosophy
Well it looks like yet another wet and windy Great British Bank Holiday winding itself up :) , which I suppose in a bizarre way , has its advantages in that I will have to decorate the house for Atsu’s imminent arrival , but as the old slogan found on many of Haynes finest - goes …..
“I’d rather be riding my Harley “ :)
I like most humans have to be literally forced in to doing things I don’t like , but I suppose there is no excuse now not to break out the paint as even nature has the loaded gun against my head ……..oh well :)
Taking the title of this literally - I love t shits with witty comments on them and here’s a small selection of my favourites-
Don’t panic I’m Islamic “ or even better “ I’m a suicide bomber”
( Which is to be worn whilst going through Immigration / Customs)
"Sometimes I aim to please, but mostly I just shoot to kill.”
(To be worn at the Independent ??? Police Complaints Authority or at a a briefing by the Israeli Army )
“Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.”
(I’m saying nothing – here :) )
“Smash forehead on keyboard to continue...”
( Essential wear for most people , at anytime of the day )
"Why do people with closed minds always open their mouths ”
( You could wear this at any political gathering around the world and not feel out of place )
“God’s busy – may I help “ …..usually under a picture of the devil .
( Church )
P.S - I’ll be too busy painting on Monday ( allegedly ) , so Tuesday is the date of the next gripping instalment :)
