CAMPING EMBARRASSMENT!

QUICK GRAB A TOWEL.

Travelling around to various destinations, and for a variety of reasons, memories are made, and from time to time they come flashing back, sometimes causing a giggle, if not the reflection of embarrassment. I’m not certain what triggered this thought as it was a long time ago.

For an annual getaway we had hired a Gite, it was secluded and was miles from anywhere in the French countryside, it was not even attached to a farm.

As I say, it was isolated and situated directly on the side of a little used narrow road, no front door, just a gateless opening on one side to park the car.

To the rear, beyond the fenced garden, in a blaze of yellow, rape seed was growing, with apple orchards, surrounding the remaining area.

It was hot, very hot. At the rear of the house and partly shaded by trees, a lovely patio.

Total silence, calling the birds the acceptable exception, with not a care in the world, we stripped down laid on a sun bed each with a book and a glass or two enjoying the cooling breeze.

Suddenly, voices. An English couple had seen our British number plates and walked down the side of the house. They were carrying a baby and wanted to know if we could warm up the child’s feed bottle.

Grabbing towels, and trying to be decent, I know not who was more embarrassed, them or us.

My guess, embarrassed, is how the girl in class eight at the Rye College in East Sussex felt recently, when she was reprimanded in front of the class by her teacher, after she had objected to a classmate who said she identified as a cat.

year-old pupil as ‘despicable’ for her thoughts for not believing someone can be a cat.

The teacher then says forcefully for three and half minutes, her voice was recorded, that the class eight pupil who did not believe a girl or anyone could be a cat, would be reported as she needed a ‘proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion’. It sounds to me like some far-off dictatorial state other than an English school.

How did the teachers' thought process, and others with similar thinking have come to this conclusion?

It was this time last year in July that the Tavistock Clinic, which was based in North London, known as the ‘Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) which had treated 9,000 children as young as ten for gender assessment since it opened in 1989, whistle-blowers had for seventeen years been raising concerns about their procedures of persuading (my use of the word) young children to change gender.

Which means for thirty-four years various governments have allowed the mutilation of youngster’s minds and bodies, also their senses, altering their outlook and natural way of thinking before they reach puberty, the period when one grows into adulthood and comes to terms with feelings.

Daniel Black, who is now in his twenties, is receiving surgery to change from being female back to his birth sex. Daniel suffered badly from bullying while he was at school and was mocked because of his gentle behaviour. He now says he misses his genitals every day, as they were removed when he was in his teens after a thirty-minute interview where he agreed to become a woman.

Just after a year of the transition he regretted taking the action and is now having surgery to have his chest remodelled and breasts removed. He also takes drugs to try and rebuild his manhood.

This is a very sad story of a person going through hours of surgery to change their body into the opposite sex only to realise it was the wrong decision, there are regular reports of others who have suffered the pain that Daniel went through to achieve what some doctors say is impossible.

Invasion

In the secret world of the British security services, they must have been busy looking at other matters, perhaps worrying about people becoming cats. No doubt they were too embarrassed to acknowledge the Secret Police in Iraq, informing the British Government that they have stopped a major planned terror attack on a mass gathering in England, by British-based Islamic immigrants.

facilities with the chill cabinet and made our way down onto the soft sands of the beach and made ourselves comfortable in the sun by the sea wall.

Down the very steps we had used about ten smartly dressed young ladies also made their way on to the sands. They laid their towels out, also along the sea wall, then each one immediately started to remove clothing. It appeared they all were keen on an all over body tan with no strap marks.

We left early as it was spoiling my lunch. Take care.

Bikers for Charity in Los Alcázares

The first edition of 'Motoalmuerzo' will take place in Los Alc·zares on Sunday 16 July, an event that will raise money to help Lluvia, a 9-year-old girl who suffers from a rare disease, with activities being held in La Zona Terraza starting at 10:00 in the morning.

Throughout the day different events will take place such as a biker lunch, food, live music, raffles, children's activities and many surprises for all those who come with or without a motorcycle, to enjoy a day of coexistence and solidarity in Los Alc·zares.

The entrance to this first edition of Motoalmuerzo will cost 6 euro, which will go to help Lluvia, a 9-year-old girl who suffers from a rare degenerative disease. The money raised will be invested by the family to pay for therapies that help stop the progression of the disease that, for now, still has no cure. The ticket can be purchased online through the link https://entradium.com/es/events/moto-almuerzo-benefico-lluvia , or purchased physically on the day of the event.

Some twenty businesses from Los Alc·zares and other neighbouring municipalities support and sponsor this charity event organised by the '123 y Gas' motorcycle club whose main objective is to help improve the life of little Lluvia.

There is nothing in the report to say if this girl wore whiskers or a tail, and I wonder if she uses a dirt tray in the corner which brings a whole new meaning to unisex toilets, sorry non gender. I cannot help wondering if she jumped up walls and knocked things off shelves.

The teacher in this Church of England school branded the 13-

The Government’s embarrassing immigrant numbers arriving in the UK have no barrier to entering the country other than to get off a boat, (I wonder if there are any proposed cats amongst them) in fact, it is totally the opposite of immigration, quite frankly it is more of an invasion by people with different thoughts to those native of the land whose views, beliefs and way of living are slowly altered. And it is my belief that whatever the Iraqi Police discovered proves the point.

DON’T LOOK NOW PERCY:

They call the village in France on the Atlantic coast the ‘Bonking Budgies’ after the statue of the amorous birds on the seafront.

We started to talk about seat belts last week, which we will continue.

The three-point seat belt, which is fitted as standard to most modern vehicles, has an upper (thoracic) and a lower band (pelvic).

Both must be snugly fitting against the body.

For the seat belt to offer maximum protection it must be on the hard parts of the body, leaning against the collarbone, halfway between the shoulder and neck at the top, and the iliac crest of the pelvis, never on the abdomen. Accessories such as cushions or other additions should not be used. Once you have pulled the seat belt across your body and secured the strap in the locked position, make sure that the seat belt is not twisted at any point. If it is, undo the seat belt and remove the twists. Once secure, pull the seat belt so that it fits snugly against the body, with any slack being taken back at the top.

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can cause further problems in the event of a collision. For example, if the upper band is taken off the shoulder, it can cause a head impact with the windscreen, dashboard or seat in front. It can also produce cervical lesions.

If the belt is not firm around the body it can cause the vehicle to slide under the belt, casing lower body and spinal injuries. This is often referred to as the “submarine effect”.

To prevent “submarining”, the vehicle occupants must also sit in a proper position when riding in the vehicle, with the seat belt securely fastened as mentioned, and without having any additions such as pillows or cushions which may contribute to the reduction of effectiveness of the seat belt.

It is also important to remember the one seat belt – one seat rule. All vehicle occupants are obliged to wear a seat belt, both in the front and the back seats. Some vehicles only have two seat belts in the back for example, and so that vehicle can only carry two passengers on that seat. There are other rules regarding children in cars. Primarily, children under 1.35 metres in height are not allowed to travel in the front seats and they most use an appropriate restraining system for their height and weight.

It is crucial that children are secure, and it is the responsibility of the driver to make sure that they are. Make sure you check the instructions of any child seat you have purchased to ensure it is fitted correctly, and is suitable for your child, as, although there is a standardised scale, each child is different. In Spain, the laws relating to children in cars are not generally based on age, but height and weight.

Vistabella Bowls Club

Vistabella bowls club v La Siesta bowls club friendly match - home and away.

Two games played on Wednesday June 28th (La Siesta) and Monday July 3rd(Vistabella).

Played in a very friendly atmosphere, both teams fielded two teams full of experience and also new bowlers just joining their club of choice. Great experience for new ones helped by their experienced teammates.

At La Siesta Vistabella were entertained and sadly well beaten 10-4. Also well fed by their lovely sausage rolls and hotdogs.

Return match at Vistabella, played in very hot and humid conditions. Results changed around a bit with Vistabella winning 14-0 but some close games. All fed well with sandwiches from the Orang bar, many thanks Amber. Result wise I think home advantage in both matches. Everyone had a great time together, lovely to see our friends from La Siesta. Due to the possibility of La Siesta bowls club closing in September, we would all at Vistabella bowls club wish La Siesta bowlers the very best for the future.

Please do not give up, keep on bowling.
