Safe Sex Need Not Be Boring .

The above title refers to the following piece written some years ago in Berlin . A city where , yes the heaven and earth really do move for you if you have a night or two on, or at one of the fabulous Volkesfest -- Try it and test my theory -- Mind you , in an ideal world --

Safe sex need not be boring - far from it
Indeed I think I´ve found the answer
And from the look of things - hundreds have,
But do they know it?
I wonder.
Funfairs, Volksfest, call them what you will.
An orgasm costs three euros - five for a real heaven and earth experience.
It's true, try it and see !
And, should you say, "Such rides would make me ill"
So what - the chances are you´d say the same in bed.
But, if like me, you relish that glorious surge,
Body tingling and racing heart beat,
Not to mention ecstatic crying out -- well,
Roll up, roll up, try a fun fair.

Note .Below see a slide show of fun fair shots.

BrItain's Best At A Berlin First

As those who read my blog may know , Savignyplatz is a favourite Berlin spot . So much so ,I risk life and limb , to film it whilst riding a bicycle. Imagine therefore my euphoria this weekend on discovering a first ever three day festival was staged there. With so much fabulous music it equalled the Brussels jazz marathon. Three stages , lots to drink, plus gourmet food you could feast on jazz , rhythm and blues , soul , big band ,and more . Saturday was brilliant with Sydney's Blues . Fans of Sydney Bechet take note , this guy is amazing .I've four CD's to help me remember.The Boogie Radio Orchestra and the Ingrid Arthur Band who really brought the house down with their soul and R& B. On Sunday after a bike ride to Potsdam, friends and I were back for more . The heavens opened ,there was thunder and lightening, but did it disperse the crowd ? No ... with music like this on offer, who cares . I can't begin to name all the groups but two stars merit a special word. 'Made in Britain ', so to speak, they had me and thousands more singing , dancing and thinking ...wow , when it comes to this kind of music, nobody does it better .I give you Denise Gordon who sang accompanied by Roger and the Evolution and Phil Bates [of ELO fame ] With his German band he had this little lady and many more in a frenzy . Can't wait for next year.and a second event here . Make a note in your diaries.

It's A Great Day - Thanks To The Irish.-

It may be a very small country , but the wake up call sent from the Irish public to those smug Brussels Eurocrats has come as a shock. At last, courage via politics in action.

Once again let's hear it for 'small is beautiful' whilst we marvel at this rare example of democracy .

Ireland was the only ,member state to have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty . Take note Brussels .That eighteen member states have said yes is meaningless as their public were not allowed a voice . Had they been able to what then ?

The EU may be reeling in shock but this is largely due to it's having spun out of control. With a massive hierarchy who live extremely well [ not to mention tax free], funded by populations who have no say, they have gone too far . Matters such as this require a referendum. As long as we the tax payers foot the bill , we are the ones who should have the final voice .

As for me I'll be celebrating with homemade Guinness ice cream . Wonderful stuff.

PS ) take note . People most certainly do not want a permanent, unelected European President or, Foreign Minister. Downsizing, less of the 'do as we say , not as we do ' mentality and starting to pay your own taxes plus VAT, may go some way to regaining credibility .

U N = Utter Nitwits .

The United Nations proved it was nothing but a joke , and a money waster years back when it sat by and let the USA manipulate the truth and in so doing create a precedence for preemptive strikes . Not very good . It has recently shown more apathy with the on going charade in Zimbabwe, corrupt generals in Burma and , let's never forget, accepts China ,holder of the gold medal for human rights abuse, as a member of the security council.
For Tibet it does absolutely nothing .. yet ..wait for it .. ,has today issued a dictate that the UK must , yes must , not should , give the public a referendum as to whether the Royal family remain. Oh really . Well all I can say is , the reported 62p per annum paid by each adult tax payer is extremely cheap compared to what we paid for Blair . Also very economical when one considers the amounts given in handouts to many war torn lands .Hand outs which sadly are taken by corrupt regimes. [As one who pays tax to UK this 62p is not begrudged.]
Sri Lanka [home of ethnic unrest if ever] voiced concern over the British monarchy . Hey guys put your own house and corruption in order first . As yet we aren't blowing each other up.
Then Syria stated UK was unfair to Muslims . Why ? They have land for their mosques, are provided with appropriate food in schools and hospitals . Plus we even have Muslims in our parliament . I wonder if Syria can say the same re Christians . Not to be outdone Iran went on to voice concern over Britain's poor record for sexual discrimination ! What ,did this mean-- lack of hijab ? Are we to take it Iranian men need that to tell the difference .
So today Syria , Sri Lanka , Iran , Saudi Arabia and Cuba all had a go at Britain bashing and did so via the Human Rights Council . Sorry but I'm in stitches laughing . They really were off with their timing . This should all have been said on April 1st .Still it is almost the 'silly season'.

Spotted This Week In Berlin .

A wonderful forest, remnants of the 'wall', wild poppies, icecold beer, equestrian antics, fireworks, strange dancers in Alexanderplatz.This and so much more. Part of any day in Berlin .

What A Way To Go !
