Oregon sucks, so please don't move there! You might make it worse.

I have been to Bend and Sisters in the High Desert area, and  I will be hated if I in any way cause more people to move there. There are bumper stickers that ask people not to move there.

 Portland, that beautiful city on the Willamette, has arguably the best airport in the USA. Landing at PDX on a day when Mount Hood is clearly visible,and when the Cascades can be seen from the airplane window, well that's a magnificent experience.

Images to be added in due course.


Californians are moving north in search of greener pastures, more rain, cheaper property, no sales tax and low crime rates, in fact a better quality of life in many Oregon areas. It is perceived that these people are driving up property prices, exacerbating urban sprawl and spoiling the environment. You may agree, but as a foreigner it is not my place, one can argue, to comment.

Acid attacks on children must be punished by severe custodial sentences

The Worcester acid attack by men on a three year old boy must be punished severely, which
 should  deter others. They should spend many years in custody, locked away under rule 33, for their own protection, being despised by prisoners and public. This would send a strong message that we will not tolerate these acid attacks, particularly on pre school children, innocent infants. Disgraceful!

Arise and Shine Sir Cliff

Sir Cliff Richard has been vindicated and victorious in his High Court landmark privacy battle.

Some people with an agenda have been out to get him. I have been told by reliable sources that Sir Cliff was watched and monitored, under a form of surveillance, by someone wishing to discredit him and gain information to be used against him, to damage his reputation.


Sir Cliff has clearly suffered from intrusive media and mean spirited journalists.
His loyal fans rejoice in his triumph over adversity. Prayers have been answered.

Greetings to brother Baptists from Alabama

Greetings dear brothers in Christ, fellow Baptists from Alabama. May the Lord direct you in paths of righteousness. May you know His presence, and find goodness and grace in the future.

It was a happy and providential meeting yesterday, downtown in Portland, Oregon.
We talked about Charles Haddon Spurgeon, John Bunyan and  Harry Kane. As a North London old lad, I regard him as one of our own. I was wearing a Spurs sports shirt. Someone at an outdoor restaurant table said "Go Spurs" and I responded by shouting out in a loud voice, "Come on you Spurs".

Well done Harry for winning the Golden Boot in Russia.

Safe travels.
Blessings.

FIFA World Cup VAR must be consistent

Criticism of FIFA video assistant referee has been forthcoming when it spots a soft penalty, when Kyle Walker clashes with a Tunisian opponent, but it fails to see two clear fouls on Harry Kane when he was wrestled to the ground. Come on FIFA officials! Get your act together. Twice in the match is unacceptable. 

Britain's Fat Fight

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall should be commended for his efforts to tackle UK obesity. He is a hero and magnificent campaigner. Hugh has exposed the failure of our dreadful health secretary. Jeremy Hunt should be ashamed of himself. Many regard Hunt as one of the worst health secretaries ever. His track record is not edifying or commendable, especially with respect to the concerns raised by Hugh. The BBC documentary Britain's Fat Fight shows Hunt in a very poor light.

A Russian Mission Impossible Force?

Is there a Russian Mission Impossible Force?
Was the following mission given?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to test a new nerve agent on Sergei Skripal, traitor of our Mother Russia, and his daughter, Yulia, an opponent of our beloved leader.

As always, should you or any member of your task force be caught or killed, the Kremlin will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
