Unexpectedly funny

Our current breakfast listening is a Winnie the Pooh CD, which to my surprise I'm finding slyly funny, much more so than I remembered and not the less so for the gentleness of the humour. As you probably all know, Pooh discovers a bees' nest and borrows a balloon from Christopher Robin in order to float up to the treetop and pinch the honey. The bit when he sings a cloud song in order to convince the bees that he is a small black cloud and not a bear just makes me giggle every time.


In the end he realises that he can't get down and asks Christopher Robin to shoot the balloon so he doesn't have to just let go.


"Did I miss?" enquires Christopher Robin

"You didn't exactly miss" says Pooh with dignity, "but you missed the balloon."

My baby watches a baby Einstein DVD about world animals, set to a background of classical music. About halfway through, a bloke starts singing about turtles, proper x- factor style and the whole thing is just so out of place and ott that I always end up sniggering like a school boy.

We have that Baby Einstein and I agree the singing is dreadful and the words just do not fit! Although now having watching it approximately a million times I just find myself singing along in an equally annoying voice without realising it. Which is not good!


I will have to dig out some Pooh CDs - sounds great.

A bear, however hard he tries,

Grows tubby without exercise,

My teddy bear was short & fat,

Which was not to be wondered at.....


.....from my favourite poem from 'When we were very young' it's fab. Can't remember the rest off hand but you've reminded me that I must get the book out and read it to my girls - thank you!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
