It seems to be pretty much a given thing here in the 51st State that the newly elected American El Presidente will be assasinated within six months ............

Hollywood must be working the poor underpaid movie script writers to the knuckles .............. God help us, I see Will Smith in yet another Hollywood crapolla fest! Still, at least the cretins won't be bastardising yet another classic British film while they're busy trying to wring every dollar out of this one!

Where's the wonder gone at this marvellous and historical turn of events? The first 'nearly' black president of the US of A. I think I see now why Michael Jackson was buried so effectively, competition perhaps?

I see great change and turmoil ahead but then I am nothing if not a realist. Let's just hope that the inevitable issues at home aren't buried under more 'arse kicking' in foreign climes.

Of course, the world missed the 'apetiser' to this event ....... the fact that there's now an unelected Scotsman at the head of English parliament .................... Total devolution now please.

Cynical? Me? ....... I'm just trying to get to grips with the bigger picture. When it comes to world politics, nothing is out of bounds so it seems.

And on a lighter note .........

I have apologies to make! And I NEVER apologise for anything .... EVER!

I have been away for some time. Well, not totally as I have had the occasional mooch around Deviantart.

The reasons are two fold.

Firstly, I get really impatient with this 'improved' Deviantart. Is it just me that finds it a slow, cumbersome beast? I'm torn between the 'life's too short to wait for this to load' and the great payoff in quality art ............ there's a comment on life there somewhere.

Secondly, I have been bogged down with other stuff. I had a lot of work to do on my house to avoid greater problems in the future and I haven't finished by a long shot ............ At least it won't fall down on our heads this Winter and further work isn't really an option whilst the weather is so inclement during the Winter months.
Erm, I have gotten involved in other projects in the meantime (nothing really suitable for here alas!). I will now have some time however to nose about and see what fine work I have been missing. I hope to be doing some drawing over the Winter months as well!

My apology then is for ignoring all of your Deviations. I will be checking out your sites and faving stuff, I sincerely promise. What amazes me is that I have any watchers left at all!

I do hope that I haven't offended anyone here. If I have, well, as the participants on the Jerry Springer show used to say 'Talk to the hand ...........'

Best

John.
