The Creeping Bloody nanny State …..I Love to smoke 100 fags a day and eat cakes till they emerge from my bloody ears..and if you dont like it sod off with your unwanted bloody advice..

Time for a rant ,and god do i need one..

If i see another bloody advert on tele in the papers or on the radio about giving up smoking i swear to god i will bloody explode….

First smoking as far a as i know is still bloody legal,

yet anyone who does it is now is made to feel like some god dam stinking lepper that has crawled out of the swamp,,,,

even by the git behind the counter that has just served you with a smug smile yet they still accept the £9 or £10 odd the packet of baccy cost..

Then you have to find a wee dark dingy whole to puff on your legally bought fag and if spotted you are given a look of disgust by most people it seems today..

WELL SOD IT i have smoked for a little over 35 years now and i love it , and as far as i am concerned if you dont like it then bloody sod of with your patronising language etc

Dont get me wrong if you don’t smoke fair enough you shouldn’t have to put up with it,and you should therefore have carrages on a train for smokers and non smokers pubs etc etc etc

just the same as if i disagree about air traffic, i ,oh no wait a moment i have no choice the gits that have turned there noses up at me for smoking can sit in their sterile clean enviromet and merrily fly past chucking tons off shit on me as they wing their way to the sun ,,,,sods…++

Bloody democracy my arse the nanny blanket state rules well sod them …

I LOVE SMOKING

I LOVE EATING CREAM BLOODY CAKES

I LOVE DIRT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A wee film about us on STVs the HOUR SHOW click on STV logo to see the film

Andy the Daft Hermit lives 45 minutes outside Inverness with his wife Mel in an old bus parked in a layby. This current home of theirs is the longest they have ever stayed in one spot. “I’ve been travelling now 25 years,” said Andy Lowe. “Mel’s been travelling 15. One of the reasons we’ve come and stayed up here is because of Mel’s health. I wanted to bring her to the mountains for fresh air and clean water and just a slower pace of life.” Mel has had breast cancer twice, skin cancer once, and for three years believed she had bone cancer after being wrongly diagnosed. Andy’s belief in the restorative powers of the north made them pack up ‘The Black Bus’ that they live in and cross the border into Scotland. New Highland home for hermit couple Andy and Mel “I think we both believe in trying to get to a more simple way of life,” said Andy, “but it’s strange for us because we are sort of hermits, or we like to live separate, but it’s not being anti-social… it’s just the way we are that allows us to be creative.” Andy first began travelling when he left the army. Fed up with bureaucracy he packed a rucksack and left for France and has been travelling ever since. By investing any money the couple have earned into solar panels and wind generators they now live a self-sustaining existence, without electric bills, and collect rain water “straight from Heaven”. “It’s not easy,” said Mel. “There might be time when there might not be enough facilities around, but you always find a way, you know?” Rather than rejecting technology, Andy blogs about his travels online and collaborates with artists from around the world via his ‘Scratchy Heid Film Studio’, which he runs from a static trailer next to the couple’s bus. He explained his philosophy: “My belief is that if you can go through life and you drop dead and you’ve got a balance there that slightly outweighs the good than the bad, you’ve done alright. “Yesterday, with what Mel’s been through with the cancer and all that, I had a woman on one of my sites there that thanked me for the writing, for the positive things, and to me that’s worth everything. You can keep your millions, we’re not interested. That is what we do.” To check out Andy’s artwork and video projects check out his website. MORE FROM THE NORTH
