fings are not what they seem

london
I have been trying to find new friends to have sex with. 
now i got a free travel pass i want to go to their places instead of hosting them at my place. 

it will take time to find these guys. 

anyway the title refers to the news of uk that u read overseas giving u the impression people here are suffering ; to what is actually happening to the people living here.

my brother wrote asking me if i was affected because he read there were so many strikes and demonstrations against the budget cuts . i wrote back i am affected only in that i live near parliament square and the buses gets disrupted.

there are a lot of demonstrations, in central london, centred round parliament square. 

i live quite near but the only way i am affected is that the bus schedules gets all fxxked up and either dont run, or cut short their journey or are diverted entirely.

this was what happened last saturday. 

and to cap it all, the delayed repair of the tube lines , because of the olympics, now means the work have to be done with a vengence, and so that day also saw the closure of 3 tube lines, northern, circle, and victoria. 

i am on the victoria line, so that certainly made it difficult to travel within london for me. 

Actually it doesn't affect me . being a creature of habit, i tend to go to the  pimlico station, but really westminster is nearby and that is on another line. so really it does not affect me much. 

i got back from a naked orgy party in north london that night and got off at westminster and walked back. 

they replace the tube train with a bus service but that is slow made even more so by the demonstration that day. it was a trade union march. 

but what i am saying is that the actual demonstrations is a waste of time and only serve to cause huge traffic jams in london. it will not influence the govt to change. 

so far only the old folks gets to keep their perks.

everyone else , esp social services to the poor , gets cut. 

oh, i forgot , the bankers also got away with it. Nothing much have changed for them. the govt is still throwing money at them to prop the economy up. 

and that is why the rest of us need austerity. 

the trouble is , money is made by growth in the economy, and the govt can only get income from the tax that can be levied on these activities. so the govt have to bring in austerity whilst trying to encourage people to spend. 

if they can encourage the people with money to spend, whilst telling all those others who are skint not to... that would solve it, i think. 

anyway, as far as it goes , it does not affect me. 

even the british gas raising its tariff in nov by 6% wont affect me much. i use so little electricity, the rise of £3.60 to my usual £60 quarterly bill is neither here nor there. 

the papers tell me the average elect and gas bill is  about £1200 a year. £300 a quarter.  who are these people? and how did they do it?
I have a feeling the headline in that article in the daily mail is a bit scaremongering. saying £130 rise in the yearly bill, a 6% raise is £72 a year , so only half what they suggest.  

oh i know how they generate so much usage of gas and electricity.  i visited a shag recently, one of the guys i am finding for daytime shags, and he had his heating on. i thought he left it on specially for our session, as it is a naked meet, but no. 

he said his central heating has gone, and he is using a heater. one heater heated up the whole house, which is quite efficient but god knows what that heater will cost  his elect bill.

 he left it on when we went for a walk in the park nearby. rather wasteful i think. but i think he is wealthy enough.haha. 

he thinks his medical condition requires him to be warm. i think it a fallacy. people with chronic illnesses always think one falsehood or other about their illness and restrict themselves. 

like my eldest brother who said he cannot swim because he is asthmatic. 

i would not even diagnose myself as asthmatic just because i find it difficult to breathe sometimes. i would just adjust and carry on as usual. 

that is the trouble sometimes when u see a doctor. they diagnose things about u and u take it onboard and start restricting yourself because u are 'ill'. 

the weather is another thing that people reading about it overseas might be mistaken. 

it is very mild now in london. the leaves are just beginning to turn colour and fall in my area. and i should know as the trees line the street in my area. 

sometimes even i get to thinking i live in another country when i read in the papers of gales and such in scotland or midlands whilst it is all serenity in london.
