Peter Wyles - 84 Today!

UK: My Father – Peter Wyles – is 84-Years Old Today! (28.5.2026)

My Dad was born on May 28th, 1941 to his Irish mother (Gladys Kllmurrey) – in an Army Barracks in Lincolnshire. His father was training at the time for D-Day. The thinking was that if the war went on for decades – my Dad would grow up, reproduce and become a soldier – and do on. Today, despite having to exist in an uncaring system – my father has made it to “84”- despite many set-backs and hurdles. At this age – every day is precious. Still, we look forward with strength and determination. We will face the arrows and slingshots of destiny – and we will not flinch.

On Retreat for A Week!

Tilford: A “Red-Week” in a Country Retreat! (22.5.2026)

It is a quaint area free off the stresses of the city – and a big sign reads “No Flags on the Exterior of the Building” – so in-doors it is! Even rebelling must be measured and inaccordance with circumstances. There is a nearby river and families of ducks wandering around. My Taijiquan practice will be particularly enhanced in this environment. Thank you to my mother – Diane Wyles! Gee has just driven to the next village to purchase some chips for our supper! We have basically infiltrated the conservative rump of the Home Counties. We are the enemy within – and the Reds Under the Beds – except we have paid to also lie in these beds. The capitalist railroaders are happy – so we let them continue to think that way.

"When I Grow Up - I Want to Be Like You" - Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth!

Cuba: “When I Grow Up – I Want to Be Like You” – Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth! (5.5.2026)

“There’s a lot of fear,” he admits. “Fear of not being able, of not being on time, losing more days… It scares us. The effectiveness of the treatment is lost.”
But Yohima does not stop at lamenting. His voice tightens, becomes precise.

“Regardless of all the difficult things we go through, like every good Cuban, we have the heartbeat, the knowledge. And emotions don’t need fuel, they don’t need oil to function.”

And then he shows with pride and relief the walls of his office. Equipped with what you need to spend the night. This small and warm space has something that no blockage can frustrate: a children’s gallery. “The children, when they arrived here, did not want to cross the threshold of the door,” he recalls. A colleague had the idea of distracting them with drawings. “They were accumulating and we were sticking the drawings on the wall, some that had no color, we colored them.” The children came back and saw his work, he motivated them and wanted to bring another one. “The idea is that they make this place a place for them, where everything is fine, where everything is safe.”

The information I was given was a blue and white paddle board, which doesn't help when the sea is blue and white.

UK: Weird News from Scotland – How the RNLI Rescued a Blue Paddle-Board! (15.4.2026)

Mandy urged other paddle boarders to take proper precautions before going out on the water.

She said: “Obviously don’t go dressed like me, try and wear a wetsuit and a lifejacket.

“I had a swimming costume on, a T-shirt and a pair of Crocs. That’s not appropriate.”

The RNLI were called out to 13 paddleboard incidents in Scotland last year and 14 the year before.

Lifeboats in Scotland launched 1,172 times last year and 37 lives were saved. The number of callouts were 10 fewer than in 2024.

Scott said: “You really need to be prepared. Check the tides, the weather, the wind speed.

“Have wetsuits and lifejackets, tell people where you’re going, have a mobile phone.”

The crew said it had been emotional reuniting with the woman whose life they saved.

Scott said: “It was really nice to meet Mandy again, it’s something that doesn’t happen often.”

Mandy said: “I feel so special to have met the crew that saved me.

“I can’t remember what any of them looked like but their voices are very familiar now that I’ve met them.

“They do this unpaid, they are actual heroes.”

Thank You Joseph Stalin - We Love You!

UK: Uncle Joe Says “It’s Mother’s Day in the Country That Invented It!” (15.3.2026)

Either way – Gee has been the mother to of my children – both wonderful girls. I think the rest of the world follows a UN-designated “Mother’s Day” – and for some reason the old UK tradition is ignored by the world – like Morris Dancing and jousting. Gee had the idea of placing an old statue of Joseph Stalin in shot – an icon from the USSR that was sent to use by Comrades who were trying to preserve the evidence of the Workers’ State as the forces of Trotskyism and capitalism was ripping it apart during the late 1980s. Despite Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – many in the USSR still respected him and kept these small statues hidden away from prying eyes. It is interesting how the capacity to exercise rational thought raises an individual into a genuine human-being – extracting their minds and bodies from a deluded, inverted, and backward past! And so be it – until there is no more capitalism to overcome!
