6/8/45 / what do think of HIROSHIMA
The dropping of the bomb was considered at the time to be what stopped the war in JAPAN, the boy was called LITTLE BOY which seems to be an unusual thing to call a BOMB but I suppose a little boy does cause widespread destruction , the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was called of all thing FAT MAN although for the life of me I can not think why!
I have always enjoyed the pop song ENOLA GAY by OMD probably becausemy cousins lived in west Kirby were they were bases and currently my auntie lives in one of the band members old homes and believe me it is old , when she first moved in their we were always singing OMD songs!!
I never realised that the somg Enola GAY is about the mother of 
the pilot of the plane as I used to just enjoy the tune, that is what happens alot with pop lyrics you Just SING along obliviously to what the the word of since learning the real meaning of the song, I find it incedibly eerie!!

Rumours have it this were the swimming costume allin lonw was blown apart!!! I have never been a bikini person as always feel to cold or could because neve venture any where hot!!When the bikini became fashionable it recieved perhaps as you can imagine an explosive reactionn, as it was not long before this that people were more or less completly covered up!!
We tend to think of a bomb as a device that has not been around to long but as actually been around since 1588 ( told you I was wide awake in history)so not really a new fangled thing of the last century although saying that only used as a word then !! c.onfused ( good ) like cofusing people.
I am hopeless at lanuages but most words we use originate in other landsand a lot of words originate from THE GREEK , i was useless at FRENCH but lets give this a go
BOMB comes from the word BOMBOS which means a humming sound i have never thought what sound a bomb makes but doubt a humming sound as I think of something which is happy hums
In the swinging 6os the word to bomb out came into being as to fail in somthing but lots of uses of the word bomb such as driving a round in one , or wish I had a bomb (Money) dont take all what I say literally.I have never heard of these two expressions as a long pass in football is a bomb or a mass of Lava!!
Oh well I am practically Bombed out and I dont try to think of EINSTEINS quote
"I do not believe that civilisation will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb'.Perhaps two thirds of the people of the earth will be killed>
Hope I have not worried you and everyone sleeps well and think will of brighter thoughts next time
The photo shows my youngest niece just before her 8Th birthday and shows the innocence of a child and all that is the coolness on the tongues of the ice ---------yum heaven!!!!!!
The photo in the post below shows a young boy , I never took the photo but just shows the enjoyment of being turned upside down as a child , although something I never enjoyed !!!!!
After having my two staying for a few days it was a bit sad to see them the majority ofthe time on technical things although we did enjoy a riotous game of SNAP on a few occasions were DAISY said"do you go to college to be so good at snap" !!!

stockholm
the reason this photo is here because I dont travel very much as I panic big time but this is to show just becaus i dont like abroad or away from merseyside which i love , people can still take an interst in other land and countries although have been abroad twicw so never say never !! I am just a homebird with very bad flying wings but you never know what technology will get up to nest hey!
WHY DONT YOU DRIVE
The above statement I hear often and, although I get in a big panic travelling I take a great interest in other countries and the way they live so although never been to STOCKHOLM and probably never will it is nice to look at pictures of other places - hence STOKHOLM it was bit of a mistake actually but thought i would write something to make it sort of go together ,as you can see i love going for a ramble with the written word,
I am not allowed to drive for health reasons, but I get a free bus pass which I make good use of
but sometimes it would be nice to look at views and places that are inaccessible by public transport ,hence the photo below!!!
It is actually 100 years ago that the co-founder of rolls Royce died ( and no I am not related to him but people who know me know I have a brain full of facts useful information , i have been known to drive lots of people crazy with.
The way CHARLES died was slightly moving (spot the pun)as he became the first Briton to die in a flying accident as he was in a display when the plane tail flew off,their are alot of hidden dangers in showing off!!
Although I an diabetic have been known to succumb to the odd MARS Bar but then run around madly to burn the sugar off but their is a certain company who works out how many mars bars it would cost to buy something and the answer is 347,0000, how they work these thing out and as i failed maths miserably I am glad not me as would definitely be in hospital!!
Another useless fact is the average person takes 645 car journeys a year who finds thes info is astounding and how do they know what a car journey they may have to make the same journey twice in one day of left their house keys behind.
I often think looking out on my street that we are being overtaken over by cars and one day will be stuck in a massive big TRAFFIC JAM if by chance all went out at the same time but what a shock if people in SOMALIA and LOS ANGELES swapped lands for the day as there are more
cars in L ANG than people in SOMALIA, but in SOMALIA there are 200 times more camels than cars .I Think if I had the choice of camels or cars , i would go with the humped variety but I suppose depends on distance travelled and the weather!
Although we tend to think drunken loutish behaviour is a thing of today,, I think there has nearly been drunks and louts since time began as the it first became the first drink
driving law thing happen way back in 1872, I would love to know what people were like at this time and I cant really imagine many people having transport.
People tend to complain about speeding and i know for my dad has been caught countless times for being just slightly over and always in the land of song WALES , as is so difficult when driving along on an A road but all of a sudden come across a squashy bendy thing, but speed limits are their for a reason 25 million people have lost their lives in road accidents, I know of two people who have died in crashes but never the less it is always a shock and so many people think will not happen to me or my friend or relative . MY mum was in a very bad crash when someone else went through the lights and hit her friends car and is still a very nervous driver.
Speeding laws have been around centuries but it would have been amusing to see cars travelling about in 1865 with a man walking in front with a red flag so luckily not happening today imagine cars ambling along today with every car with a man walking in front
So next time you are ambling about at a snail pace think of this!!!
The red flag was done away in1878 maybe to many cars correspond with the flag wavers but the speed limit was still at a rate of a tortoise with 2mph in the cities and 4mph in the country
You will never moan about traffic speed or jams again after reading this
All cars have number plates but you would need alot of dosh to buy the most unique which is just one number of course 1as is the one and only one but cost 7.1million back in 2008 so being unique does not become cheap.
Oh well if you cant make your mind whether to get a burger from a well known chain it actually works out cheaper to get a Car BROOOOOOOOOm!
FOR someone who does not drive or takes little interest in transport i don't half do a lot of road miles , oh well off on my buss pass
