Jimmy Savile, what a nobend

Jimmy Savile what a cock and what a super person both at the same time. The amazing good he did and the utter evil he also brought on the world.

Growing up, Jimmy Savile was always on the telly, wether it be Top of the pops or Jim'll Fix It. Yeah sure even when I was a kid, he was a bit of an old git (meaning he wasn't a young celebrity for my age). Even then he definitely had a touch of creepy geezer, but I think the whole nation though that was in his personality.

The bit that went awry in my option was the years around 1970 where he spent a lot of time at  Duncroft, an approved local authority school for emotionally disturbed girls aged between 13 and 18 in Staines, Surrey. The numerous accusations and evidence of child abuse were not investigated. Some say the BBC was partially to blame for not acting upon information due to prioritising their interests.

Now, I guess we know that the creepy geezer part was really a significant part of his dark personality that should have been reckoned with before he passed away.

What a twat bag, Jimmy Savile.

fucking RP

for a long time now my dad has had RP. His vision has gone over the years from the initial problem of driving at night, to tunnel vision, to now, just seeing shadows.

RP is a disorder of your retina's ligh sensing cells, so your eyeballs don't convert light as they are supposed to and your brain cannot make sense of it. Thus you have a hard timing seeing.

remember back in the day when you got dead pixels in led monitors? its sorta like that... dead pixels, but the amount of dead pixels increases over time.

it starts off as difficulty seeing in the dark, then progresses to a state where you can only make out the faint outlines of large objects and everything else is blurred beyond recognition

anyway it can be an hereditary disease. For a long time I have worn glasses, since the age of 16. And nowadays when you get your eyes looked at, they also look at your retina for issues. Yeah guess what, they find some stuff in mine. But because they are too scared to actually say anything, I always get referred to a specialist

Do I want to go just to find out I will be legally blind in the next 10years? I dunno probably not.

fuck rp

work update 2022

 just got a new job. Is it good? I dunno yet. Only been here 3 months.

It's with a company that makers camper vans... well the "camper" in the vans. They don't  actually make the vans, obviously.

#vanlife ? I fucking hate that hashtag for all its bloody lameness and righous support of stupid social platforms

anyway

Anyroad, I digress.....its a bit DIY, its a bit not.

the company has a very smart system that you fit to a van. its modular in design and its relatively inexpensive compared with the rest in the industry.
It allows you to convert a Ford Transit or a Mercedes Sprinter van into a "camper" setup, and when I say camper, I sorta mean much more, as the design is very modular and flexible, 

so if you want to make an outdoor bro dozer with no beds and full on shreddy toy hauler and IPA storage, then you can do that. If you want to make a van with two large beds, a small kitchen and an electric refrigerator for adventures to the kids swimming pool then you can do that also. Or even, somewhere in between its up to you...but its modular vs custom.

It's easy to jump into the custom van world, theres lots of people who would love to take your $150,000 and craft you whatever moving shower toilet you like out of ginko bambola wood finely routed by hand.

The thing that attracts me to this company is the design thought gone into it and the accessibility it provides. Their system is around $13,000 which is comparatively very inexpensive and forms the base of which you build on. Plus it's very easy to DIY, so you don't have to be a ninja carpenter. and you can install it yourself. That's and the price is the accessible bit.

As with anything you can tweak and customise to your hearts content, but if you are paying people to do that for you to a high craft and functional level, you end up spending a lot of money. The company kit we have builds a solid, functional, robust, durable, insert other descriptors here platform which you can then add stuff to, or not.

The beauty is that its modular, so you can change it and reconfigure if you like. If you go full craft custom, theres not a lot of reconfiguring without spending a lot of money.

Anyroad I'm tired of writing this.
