Gary Rhodes dies

I found out yesterday that the celebrity chef known as Gary Rhodes has died. I was left in the dark at the time about the cause of death but found out today that he died from bleeding in the brain, basically he banged his head and one of the vessels that carry blood into his brain burst open and part of his brain was starved of oxygen. One minute you could be walking around feeling fine, the next minute find yourself dying. Being alive as a human is like waiting in a waiting room of a doctor's surgery, you know your time will end but you don't know exactly when and you don't know what will happen when you pass through those doors. All you know is the life you have now is temporary. 

This is why I try to make every day count in some way, even if the one thing I do is add an entry in this blog.

At the time Gary died, I was thinking about what a traffic light would look like if it was designed by me. I will write more about that in a future post.

I will always remember my self designed traffic light when I think of Gary Rhodes and processed Sugar because Gary was involved with TV adverts for Tate and Lyle and that is how I remember him the most. I also remember his spikey hair style.

I wish peace and love to his family and friends and hope they find some peace in this time of disaster. I send out my love to all those people that have died recently.

Thomas cooked

I considered myself to be a doubting Thomas as I aged but there is no doubt now that Thomas Cook holiday company is gone.

I put some of the blame on the internet and some on poor investment decisions made by the company. The internet certainly played a big role in the destruction of the company.

Blockbuster video rental company went bankrupt because of internet video streaming. When you think about it, you can say that machines are already putting thousands of people out of work throughout the world. Machines create jobs but I think they destroy more jobs than they create. I see many politicians claiming the opposite but they are out of touch with the community. They are good at promoting themselves but fail help anyone.

There are still politicians in my country that don't even think there is a housing crisis. They have 10 houses and a magic bank account in a tax haven with 10 million in it so their privilege blinds them from seeing thousands of people living in their cars and families being buried in debt. I often wonder why they are getting elected? I think people should follow their local mp on Twitter and observe what they are saying. If there is a problem in your community then don't elect someone that doesn't even acknowledge the problem exists.
