Easter 2008
Hi,Hope you all had a great Easter.
I feel I have risen again at the moment not quite that biblical, but in my own small way.
Things have been quite hard and we have taken the decision to sell Keran’s car to help make mends meet, but it came as a shock we might have to pay to get rid off it.
So if anyone wants a Renault Megane Scenic 7 Seat let me know! Its on Iain Bay (I was thinking of taking on E Bay to make some serious cash). It is Mud Earth Brown colour, but if you add water it will also be seen in Silver!
It has an onboard computer, but plugging it in whilst you drive is a pain, I have gone through countless extension cables. It has been a reliable car and is very flexible in its layout, the two back seats fold flat, there not supposed to but they do (only kidding they ARE meant to).
As Keran’s wage has long since gone I was thinking of asking wealthy experts to help us out, they seem to be doing well. The fundraising cash is mainly to help fund the legal fight in the event of us not getting anymore legal aid and when the legal team have to start charging they can only do so much work for free.
We have also had to think of coming up with money raising ideas to keep myself and the boys in the house, so far we have come up with ideas for a bank job, but then saw the state of the world markets and thought maybe even robbing banks isn’t likely to be profitable!
As the family name has been tainted by the experts, the investigators (both terms used tongue in cheek) and the persecutors (nuff said). Why not turn to crime, but then thought, why should I, but myself through waiting 2 and a half years like Keran did while they put a case together…I can’t be hanging around for experts to be reinstated.
So its legal activities only. So I was thinking of doing self defence courses for Mums and maybe kids. Also kids parties on certain themes. Let me know via Carers4carers if your interested and I will let you know if we get enough interest to give it a go. I am also willing to do talks on various subjects to interested groups (at huge cost if to experts)!
I have also started transferring the Court Diary I kept, into a more useable book format, the Next Harry Potter it won’t be, but hopefully it will help others who are or may be where we are in the future. Although we want to make sure it becomes highly unlikely to happen to anyone else. The triad seems to get more an more discredited or added to, to make it more believable, lets hope unless any allegation is proved beyond all reasonable doubt, innocent people will not be thrown in jail.
Talking of writing Keran is now back to being nearly a month behind in replying to letters. So hang on in there if you are waiting for a reply! She loves receiving your letters, she got 11 yesterday, me too, but mainly addressed to Bills or from someone called Bill. It never said Bill Who?
I was thinking of getting a sugar mummy, but someone misheard me and got me a sugar dummy. With friends like that, what can you do?! But its an important food group sugar, along with chocolate…bring on the Easter Eggs!
It was sad to see that someone following us on the campaign trail round Westminster recently was the bravest of the brave, the Ghurkhas were handing their medals in as they are not allowed to stay in the UK after serving the UK and risking their lives!
Makes you proud doesn’t it!
The PM said if it was after 1997 they could stay, so those who fought in the Falklands and all the other conflicts they have been in, won’t get a look in! I have done some work with Ghurkhas and ex Ghurkhas, they are always smiling and so smart! They even make Camouflage Cream look good. If you get a chance there is an online petition or two relating to them 10 Downing Street website - Petitions - Search Results will get you to them.Finally I started back at work and its nice to be back into the swing of things. Its a job that I have found more rewarding than any other I have ever done (except the Peace Corp stuff and being a Premier League Footballer).
I started back at the Reading office although I may travel around a bit later on. Whilst walking over to the office I noticed some good news and that is Reading Crown Court has definitely replaced the ‘O’s in Crown Court that had been nicked. I wonder if it was the ‘O’ Liberation front (OLF)? Whilst working in London in the Old Bill, we used to have a similar problem with the RLF better known as the Rolex Liberation Front. They would free oppressed Rolex’s from the wrists of those who could afford them. They wouldn’t nick knock offs though……
Actually one more thing I saw recently was Heather Mills got £2.43, at a recent court settlement with Paul McCartney. Which is about what we will get in compensation, minus £2 tax and 43p surcharge! Please don’t think we will get any, but that’s not the point I want to make right now.
I was one of quite a few officers that turned up to Heathers tragic accident on Kensington Gore. So I have always followed her (no not stalking) in the papers, to see how she was getting on. I know she gets a hard time at times, (we have tasted the worst sort of headlines too) but to say her daughter will only get £34,000 a year was not a wise move, that’s more than a lot of troops I know, nurses, cops etc. If only I had a bit of that £2.43 it would be good …’sorry…. you what it was MILLIONs’! £24,300,000!
What’s that in old money?
But money isn’t everything folks, if you have your health, your family, friends and time for others, your rich indeed.
It could be worse you could be a Ghurkha! Don’t forget to vote for the Ghurkhas! Support your forces!
Stay safe
Iain
