Last Of The Summer Wine...A Short History.

Image via Wikipedia

Last Of The Summer Wine began in the early 1970's.  There were a few spin-off programs leading up the very first series.  These early episodes were just pilot shows.  Last Of The Summer Wine gave its first official series in 1976.  Brian Wilde became Foggy Dewhurst in the 3rd series.  He then left for a short time, and missed out series 9/10/11 and 12.  He would then return back as the classic Foggy Dewhurst.  My classic episode is Dried Dates And Codfanglers.  My other favourite character in Last Of The Summer Wine is Eli.  Eli is played by Danny O Dea.

There were 295 episodes excluding all the xmas specials, and the New Year specials.  The very last episode of Last Of The Summer Wine was called How Not To Cry At Weddings, and The Very Last Of The Summer Wine.  Tom Owen played Compos brother Tom Simmonite.  Jean Alexander played Auntie Wainwright, but is most famous for Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street.  Jean Alexander left Coronation Street in 1987.  Robert Fyfe and Juliette Kaplan played Howard and Pearl.  Peter Sallis is also famous for Wallace And Grommit.  He plays Norman Clegg in Last Of The Summer Wine.

Every single epsisode of Last Of The Summer Wine was written by Roy Clarke.  He also wrote Keeping Up Appearances, and others besides these classics.  Kathy Staff played the fearsome Norra Batty, and those wrinkled stockings.  What the hell did Compo seen in her, I'll never know.  Sundays will never be the same again.  We have lost a Great British tradition.  Comedy has lost its flavour now.

Gargoyles

Gargoyles.

Creatures on top of church spires.

Hidding from the worldly.

Only coming alive at night.
Keeping watch over loners.
The world will end.
When Gargoyles wake up.
And destroy the worldly.
They shall fly across the sky.
Biting victims of death.
They bring ultimate destruction.
Upon the entire human race.

Why Be Ashamed Of Being Disabled?

Image via Wikipedia

Why should disabled people be ashamed of being disabled?  I am going to have some photos on this site soon.  They are going to be photos of me in a wheelchair.  I want to do this to show how others do not recognise my disability.  This is the public sign around towns.  But this sign doesn't mean anything in Oswestry.  Yesterday, I spotted a girl in a wheelchair trying to get into a toilet for disabled people.  She didn't have a special key to open the toilet door either.  A lot of these up-to-date disabled toilets aren't up to much either.  This must be so distressing for a disabled person, in a wheelchair.

The reason why so many people have health problems today, is because they are either not listened to correctly.  Or they are treated badly by the money scroungers.  I do not like the concept of charities at all.  Charities only exist in order to make a few extra millionaires.  The rest can go to hell, as far as they're concerned.  Plus, there is so much paperwork now, where you need to fill out this and that form.  Next, you'll need to fill in a form, in order to proove that you have skin, like everybody else does. 

Even The NHS push those with Mental Health complications, out of the services.  They place us back into isolation tanks, so they can save an extra few pounds.  This money is then wasted on leaving street-lights on all day.  Yes, they do want to switch off the street-lights at night.  But this is because they want people to see better during the day, and not the night.  I'm not surprised at all that The NHS staff are stretched.  Most of them leave The NHS, and never want to return again.  They are treated badly by the bosses upstairs, in their big snobby suits, and fatcat ways. 

Asperger's is where Fantasy and Reality become blurred.  We become muddled up, because society doesn't want to understand us.  Why be ashamed of being disabled?  I think you know the answer to this already.  We are encouraged onto Benefits by the government, and then humiliated into seeking employment, when there is no employment about.

More Asperger's Than Neurotypical

I went to Wrexham yesterday.  It was a nice few hours away from crappy Oswestry.  I bought a number of 7" picture discs, of bands from the 1980's.  I also spotted two gorgeous Chinese girls, and wanted to ask them out.  The trouble with asking somebody out in this day and age is, you never know who's about from your ugly past.  It also felt as though I had a glass cage around me.  Or that I was totally invisible to everyone else. 

Sometimes an Aspie can get very agitated in social surroundings.  Maybe that's how I was feeling.  I don't want to approach someone, for the fear that they will not understand, what I'm talking about.  Some of the people I met in The Social Inclusion And Recovery Service, I no longer chat to.  And they don't want to chat with me.  I know this, as I once tried to talk with a guy called Peter, and he totally blanked me in the street.  It seems to me that these people are not genuine.  I also don't think that the service providers, of SIRS are genuine either. 

Another occassion I remember very well is, the time I stood up in front of 100 people, and gave a talk.  It was as if someone had their hand up my back, twiddling my vocal chords, just like a ventriloquist dummy.  So, it wasn't exactly me talking.  I was told what to do and say.  This is neurotypical people controlling me yet again.  What can you expect from a stupid self-centred, and madcap world.  Tears For Fears were right, when they wrote that song.

No Politician Is A Decent Politician

Image via Wikipedia

There is no Politician that is decent and respectful.  They are all rogues out to steal back our money.  The poor always stay poorer than before.  And the super-rich make their money from greed.  The super-rich do no good for anyone.  We are right back to where we started out from.  The Tories have been in power for many years now, but most of us have been blind to their silly scams.  They are like leeches that suck on blood.  They are like vampires that drain victims.

The super-wealthy are the anti-social scum.  They treat the poor with little respect.  I have an aunty that is greedy for money.  She can't get enough of it.  Since I was a little child, I've seen her walk over others.  She abuses the rights of others too.  She needs money as she is very lonely and isolated.  She is always miserable.  Do not trust these people, as they will always let you down.  She has also put lots of her money into off-shore banking, so that she doesn't have to pay tax. 

You also find that the super-wealthy are control freaks.  They always want to be on top.  They've got to be topdog all of the time.  If you and I don't obey their systems of manipulation, we are soon humiliated in front of others.  I have experienced this on a number of occasions.  My aunty once told my sister and I off, for dressing in black, and going to a cemetery.  People often do wear black when they go to a cemetery.  But because this clashed with her black car, and her wanting her own way at a funeral, she had to have a tantrum, just like a spoilt child.  This is what you can often get when dealing with super-snobs.  Everybody else is wrong, except them.

You are learning a lot from me.  Whoever reads this blog is learning about life, and all its ups and downs.  They say...Life is like a rollercoaster ride.  And I agree.  There is no time for fun, because we are constantly having to deal with the selfishness of others.

Seems To Me

It seems to me, that we have our innocence constantly beaten out of us everyday.  No matter what we try to do, in order to make things easier for ourselves.  There is always the spectre of despair, following us around.  This spectre seems to always be elusive, and never reveals who he, or she is.  It is a negative force that continuously watches our every move.  We are hated since the day of our birth, right up until we die. 

As long as we are apart, then we are much easier to control, and manipulate.  Governments and corrupt politicians can play Monoply, with our very souls.  One instant throw of the dice, and they can have you murdered.  They can bump off many outcasts of society, and even get rid of you, without anyone else ever knowing.  But the time is coming, where these sadistic army organisers will have to face Azrael and Tisiphone. 

Governments invent laws in order to control people more.  They can do what priests have done to outsiders, in times gone by.  Infact, the politicians of today are the new perverted priests.  They are secretly abusing the disabled, and raping the innocent with their false promises.  They hide behind a mask of empty threats, so that they can get their own way, behind closed doors.  The likes of you and I have to abide by their stupid, and fanatical laws.  But ehy can do what they want.  As long as you are seen to be doing something.  That is the moto of The Police, and Social Services today.

Nobody About That I Like

Image by 1000 anuncios de publicidad y más… via Flickr

It's been another one of those very boring days again.  The only excitement I had today, was meeting my O.T this morning.  And seeing my friend Greg.  I don't seem to be making any headway whatsoever with relationships.  It's made even more complicated by the fact that I have Asperger's. 

There is absolutely nothing around here in shitty Oswestry.  The town is dead, and doesn't have much of a vibrant life.  I often sit here in a black world of my own, and talk to the walls around me.  It's like as if I've been totally forgotten about, by the whole of society.  I sometimes feel like I want to scream.  Nobody seems to be listening to me whatsoever.  I feel as if I'm in a lonely world of my own.  I think I'm starting to lose my patience, with this stinky town.  If things don't dramatically change very soon, then I will do something drastic.

I want somebody out there to make friends with me now.  If somebody doesn't, then I will crack up.  They always say that relationships are all about trust.  I absolutely agree.  You need to like a person and their aura, before relationships start to fully blossom.  You cannot go out with someone, when you're wearing a blindfold over your eyes.  That is why I dislike this modern Blind Date style society.  Trust also has to be earned, just like a job where you get paid after you've done the work.  Most people today, want to take and then run.  I do not like that sort of attitude from people.

Has anybody ever heard of AKASA?

Image via Wikipedia

I'm looking for a 12" single from 1989.  This 12" single was by an artist called AKASA entitled One Night In My Life.  The sound was very poppy and Gothy.  I don't think it ever did make the UK top 40.  But I loved this song as it was an artist, that sounded like Ofra Haza.  I remember Ofra Haza doing I'm Nin'Alu back in 1987/1988.  I love artists like that, as they could be female vocalists in Gothic bands like The Sisters Of Mercy.  Infact, Ofra Haza was featured in The Sisters Of Mercy song Temple Of Love 92.  Ofra Haza was a great female singer.  She died sometime in the early 1990's.  Which was such a shame, as I would have loved to have had the privilege to work with her.  She was such a fantastic Asian Queen.  Infact, she was an Israeli female singer.

My cold is much better now

It's that ole Devil called ASTRAL-EBONY here again.  I've had a terrible bout of flu.  I've been coughing and spluttering my guts up.  I've also had the chance of doing a lot of deep thinking lately.  It's funny, when you have a word that pops into your head, and then it soon disappears.  I often get like that, and wish I could remember certain things.  The things I don't want to remember, always seem to pop into my head all too easily.

There are certain words that I always do remember, because I like those words.  One word that I seem to enjoy the sound of, is Vitriol.  When you have to argue with a company like Talk Talk, for never getting anything right, then it's such a shame to have to use certain types of Vitriol.  But if you're getting cross with the everyday world in secret, then it's different.  For people with Autstic Disorders, we are a group that find these things difficult to do.  There's not a lot we can do today.  That is because there are too many stupid rules and laws, that protect the real trouble-makers.  And this is only one half of my plight with society.  Why invent rules that are only meant for outsiders to live by, and not the majority as well?  I find the whole system of government run Britain a compleat farce.  You have to have red-tape for this and that.  It's democracy gone bad.

About Midnight Configuration

Cover of Midnight Configuration

Who are Midnight Configuration?  They are an incredible black industrial Goth band, from Nottingham.  Their music has to be approached with the right kind of attitude.  It's always best to listen to their music in a very black room.  There's to be no light polution, whatsoever.  If you approach this dark band wrongly, you'll lose track and understanding, of what they are about.  Let's put it this way, They are utter black and as dark as hell.  Best albums to put on in a very dark room are, Redemption Of The Physical World, and Dark Hours Of The Sothern Cross.  They also have titles like The Unquiet Void, and The Kissing Skull.  There is an album entitled Funeral Nation, as well as a remix album called Digital Interference.  They've also had a USA Best Of comp' called Dark Desires. 

So, what about their music?  it is the music about parallel dimensions, and other dark worlds.  These dark worlds sit alongside our own ball of shit.  These dark worlds have Shape-Shifters.  There are other shadow-Governments that control our worldly politicians.  Do not approach this band, unless you are really going to like them.  There are strong albums that can really effect the listener.  Albums like Parallel Worlds, The Distortion Field and Sepulchre Rose.  These albums demand your full attention, and are not for the weak listener.

Double Situations

Image via Wikipedia

A situation is made even worse.  This is because neurotypicals do not understand, those with Asperger's.  Most of the time we are alone, not because of our own choice.  Society doesn't know how to approach us properly.  There is a lot of Elusive Campaigning going on, where neurotypicals are unconcerned about our emotional states.  Yes, my friends.  People with Asperger's do have feelings.  But we do not express these feelings very well.

There is always somebody hiding behind the curtain.  They are always trying to decieve Aspies, by secretly making us do their will, and not our own.  It's like putting a gun to the head of an Aspie, and asking him/her to pull the trigger.  The socially accepted masses, do not want us to catch them out.  Even the newer people of today, are still somehow connected to the past tense ghosts of yesterday.

It is not paranoia we suffer.  Most Aspies have an average to above average intelligence.  In other words, we know the difference between right and wrong.  And this is expressed by our deep singular talents.  We have many obsessive traits, that enable us as individuals, to have an upper-edge over society.  We are not snobs, just because we do not join in with society's everyday frollics.  If I find some new talent that only I know about.  You can bet your life that neurotypicals soon start copying, our individual newfound obsessions.

It is some kind of Freakshow that we are forced to watch everyday.  If I start listening to Duran Duran, and no-one else listens to them around here.  You can bet your last dollar, that everybody else will soon claim they now like Duran Duran.  I've never been able to understand why society constantly do this.  Maybe they have some kind of Inferiority Complex disorder.  Mary had a little lamb, and everything she did, it also copied her as well.  Many times I have walked into a supermarket, and behold, they approach by saying they also love what you're buying.  But somehow, they do not buy what you are buying.  Neurotypical people are so difficult to decifer.

By the way.  Those that have Asperger's syndrome can feel high rates of emotion.  We are just socially blunted, and find it difficult 2 hold down day 2 day jobs, as well as friendships/relationships etc.  Yet we can have relationships etc.  We shouldn't have 2 do without love, or that dreaded thing...SEX.  We are unique in what we say and do.  We are unique in characteristics, and emotions/feelings.

ASTRO-EBONY

Spirit Level by ASTRAL-EBONY

Image via Wikipedia

Got my very own Spirit-Level.  Place it upon her breasts.  Is she straight to fall in love with?  If so, then she's got sensual perfection.  Throw the small fish back into the ocean.  Don't look at me with those silly innocent eyes.  I will seek out the nearest EXIT sign.  Remove your presence from my Asperger-box.  I want to be alone, if you don't understand me.  I'm heading towards a setting sun.  There is always another day.  I can runaway until I find a Goddess so perfect.  I have a Spirit-Level.  Because I am too deep for shallowness.

What's going on?

In this week's Advertizer there is a piece about Heroin Found In Single Mum's Home.  What was actually found was Diazepam, which is a substitute for Heroin.  This is very odd, as my Psychiatrist wanted to put me on Diazepam, for my depression.  I have higher rates of depression, alongside my diagnosis for Asperger's.

I have always had my very own suspicions, about The Mental Health Services.  What the hell is going on?  It seems to me that The Police, The Government, The Mental Health Groups and Local Authorities are all conspiring against the disabled.  They are planning to get us shunted out of the way, by placing us all on drugs.  That is the secret behind the war in Afgahnistan.  They are trying to steal all the opium, so they can create addictive drugs for the nation.  When we are all hooked on the hard stuff, then we'll be more easy to control.  I just want to say to you all...Watch your backs about this new cruel government.

Angelic Super-Goths

Image via Wikipedia

Got my cds of Gothic stuff this morning.  One of the cds happens to be an old Gothic band called Super Heroines.  This is just one of many Goth bands that sends me deeper, into my own little dark world.  I think of Gothic bands like this as Angelic Supernatural beings, from other dimensions.  They have sent here on a mission, to destroy worldly foolish governments.  The cool thing about Super Heroines is they do look very Gothic.  The Super Heroines gave us the female singer Eva-O.  She was originally involved in Christian Death, with Rozz Williams.

The second cd I was sent was Ladies, Queens And Sluts.  This is an interesting compilation of female singers, in the Gothic field.  The cd includes bands like: Rock Bitch, Sinergy, The Gathering, The Breath Of Life and Nightwish.  This Gothic compilation has some interesting artwork.  The cd booklet could've done with a little more effort, but that's ok.  The images are not too painful on the eye.

The last cd I was sent was again, another compilation.  This cd features a label output of Beggar's Banquet.  The period is only from 1978-1982.  The cd includes bands like The Lurkers, The Doll and The Carpettes.  It should've been a double album, because the label was still going strong 1983 onwards.  Infact, I've always wanted to know a mysterious answer.  What was Freeez doing on Beggar's Banquet?  I always thought Freeez as a Funk/Fusion band, and not a Gothic band.  Gary Numan was also part of Beggar's Banquet too.

Lastly, I've always hoped that one day Angelic Supernatural Goths would come to this world, and destroy our stupid governments.  They'd give the supressed people supernatural swords of chaos, to get rid of all the pathetic politicians.  The whole concept of Terrorism is a compleat farce, invented by lazy politicians, so they can hide behind their masks of deceit, and treachery.  And what have these idiots done with The Taxpayers money?  Spent it all on stupid laws, and their lavish gambling obsessions.  And now this coalition government want us to bail them out again, because of their own ignorance.  They always say, Ignorance is bliss.  One day, these governments are going to have one hell of an upsurge, by The People.

Not Feeeling Too Good

Weekend was rotten.  I now have the start of a cold.  Must've caught it off someone.  So I've felt very secluded this last weekend.  On top of that, I've got to try and face the last session with SIRS.  I don't bloody well feel up to it.  There has been some good times, and some very bad times too.

The trouble is, I cannot make friends on my own.  What I mean is, that I can make friends under my own self-esteem, but I have to be in the right frame of mind.  No-one can wave a magic wand, and say..."Here you are, here are some friends".  I need proper guidance, from those that understand me in a very deep way.

It's not very easy for us lonely Aspies to make friends.  We often feel very intimidated by society, as well as isolated.  I find it very exhaustive trying to make friends with people.  And nobody around here in Oswestry seems to understand me.  They treat me as some kind of outcast, and then change their tune as quick as the weather.  I find Oswestry-folk such a bore, and a constant let-down.  I have absolutely no trust in them whatsoever.  And I never want to trust Oswestry-folk either.

UK Systems A Compleat Farce

Image by Citizensheep via Flickr

The British government, The Police, Teachers and Social Services, and the NHS are all liars.  Their systems of continuous promises are a farce.  They all have an attitude problem.  Even criminals and yobs all have an attitude problem.  They're all out to corrupt the disabled, and true outsiders with their neurotypical bullshit.  But these same people never look at their own mistakes. 

Many times my sister and I have encountered the ignorance, of Oswestry-folk.  These same old boring people love to criticise us.  Many times they have said to us, "You 've got the problem", or "It's all your fault".  It's never their problem.  The way disabled people get treated now is absolutely disgusting.  If disabled people take the law into their own hands, then the courts don't look at why they took the law into their own hands, in the first place.  The disabled are made to accept their disability, but then punnished for having a disability.

I see injustices towards the disabled all the time.  I even see cruelty done towards black people.  It is wrong in the eyes of the angels of justice.  On the roof of The Royal Courts Of Justice, there is an image of an upward sword, and scales.  This means truth and justice for all.  And that means disabled people too.  So why are the disabled being poorly treated today?  David Cameron and Nick Clegg both promised us a better Great Britain.  They have both lied in order to get a free passport into power.  Now they are out to undermine our Great British laws, and rights system.  Do not trust these two anti-christs.  They will only ruin our country even more. 

Two Ronnies

Image via Wikipedia

Another two fine comedians were The Two Ronnies.  They had shows right up until 1987/88.  They had the famous saying, "It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him".

Their greatest sketch was the Four Candles.  Or should that be Fork Handles?  They also featured the very young Nolan Sisters. 

Ronnie Corbett stared in No Sex Please, We're British.  This was a comedy classic.  Ronnie Barker stared in Open All Hours alongside David Jason.  David Jason went on to one of the finest comedy programs ever.  He played Del Boy in Only Fools And Horses.  The best clip of Only Fools And Horses, was the Falling Backwards At A Bar sketch.  Del Boy fell over backwards while talking to Trigger.  I also loved Boyce And Marlene too. 

You don't get fantastic British comedy like this anymore.  A lot of the stuff of today is shit.  They no longer act, unless it has got a pub in the background.  Eastenders has gone awful.  I cannot believe that someone as wickedly evil as Janine Butcher, could be so cruel and gutless to someone with Bi-Polar Disorder.  I think that Stacey Slater portrays her character so well.  But I think that Janine Butcher should be killed off by now.

Morcambe And Wise Forever

Image via Wikipedia

It was 1984 when Eric Morecambe died.  I thought it was much later than that.  There was me thinking that Eric Morecambe died about 1988.  It's funny how time can alter your perception of life.  Morecambe And Wise were the top comedy duo of the 1960's, right up until xmas 1983.  They made more classic sketches than anyone else.  Their most brilliant sketch was Andre Previn, and the famous ("I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order").  This was hilarious. 

It was always Eric Morecambe that would steal every show.  He could work magic on every guest that appeared on the show.  In 1978 Eric and Ernie both went across the border.  They joined Thames Television, and created even more fantastic sketches.  Their song ("Bring me sunshine"), is their most famous ending.  They would sing this song as they were leaving.  They also did a funny dance as they were dancing away from the audience, by placing one hand in the air, and the other hand down at the back.

Another famous sketch by Morecambe And Wise was The Breakfast sketch.  It was performed to a stripteese tune.  One of their guests was Peter Cushing, who would come on demanding he hadn't been paid. Edward Woodward also came on claiming he hadn't been paid.  Eric Morecambe was so funny that he could interupt a sketch, by clowning about and making the show guests very nervous.  Eric would also do his hilarious hand out of the curtain gag.  He'd grab hold of himself with his hand, which would be hidden through part of the curtain.  I miss both these comedy actors so much.  You'll never see two fine and outstanding comedians like this ever again.

Eric Morecambe also came out with a joke about Ernie Wise.  Eric would say, More Tea Ern?  Or Tea-Urn.  They had many fine guests on their shows.  There was Penelope Keith that had to climb down an unfinished stairs set.  There was also Shirley Bassey that lost her shoe, and had to wear Eric Morecambe's boots.  The Bedroom sketches were cool.  And the kitchen banter sketches too.  And there was also many occasions, where Eric and Ernie would have to come back onto the stage, to fix the sets while singers carried on singing.  I think they must've known what was going on, as some singers and actors would start laughing.  Or there would be that slight glint of knowing in their smiles.

And I nver even knew this next piece of information.  Morcambe and Wise also stared in the very last episode of The Sweeney.  John Thaw featured in a few episodes of Morecambe and Wise.  So maybe this is a strong connection.  Maybe John Thaw wanted to repay Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.  So he enlisted them both onto the last episode of The Sweeney.  I never knew that!  They often say that you learn something new everyday.

Tories Ruining Great Britain

Tories have been ruining Great Britain, since the days of Margret Thatcher.  We have the same boring old farts in power.  What we could do with is a few Black people in power.  At least they'd know how to create job prospects, for white and black people.

I read an advert on Socialist Worker Online.  And this is what it said, Tory Cuts Wreck Lives.  It isn't just the white people that are suffering.  Black people are also being unfairly treated by the system too.  I think that would look great on a t-shirt.  The slogan, Tory Cuts Wreck Lives. 

Another situation that is causing massive unemployment, is too many costly adverts on tv.  Someone is definitely charging far too much, for their products.  Why take out home insurance, if you never need it?  And the adverts tell you that if you do not claim, then it remains free.  In that case, you're just giving them money for nothing. 

Come on Black and White Britain!  We are much stronger together, as one big nation against the government.  We need to bring the whole system down to its knees.  The tories promised us all that they wouldn't cut frontline services.  Black and White people all rely on these important facilities.  Many Asians and Muslims also rely on the needs of these services too.
