Day 2 (Scrapheap Challenge)

        In my last entry I stated that I am out of work and basically on the scrap heap, the ageist scrap heap. Because I am in my fifties I have suddenly become unable to do work. My last employer designed a way to get rid of me, because I did not fit into their future plans, being the oldest on their books,and the worst part of it was there was not a way I could fight back and prove this. There was no one that wanted to assist without being paid a big wage, and even then they told me it would be a waste of money. So this company and others could do what they wanted at will. So work of any kind, from tedious sweeping of roads to more complex computer IT and basically any thing that we want  to do, has just become an impossible task. To put it bluntly we have all been swept under the carpet and now do not exist any more.


      So I tried to do some thing about it, if you please notice the picture showing an attempt to show that I am not a useless person ready to be put out to graze.
      I bet there are many others of you out there in the same boat, some feel the same and some worse and probably some that neither care or worry. But the ones that do lets band together and try and do something. Even it only to talk to each other and get the frustrations out. Believe me this does help. The 'bugger you Jack I'm all right' is creeping back into society and it should be stopped now. It takes all sorts to make the world go round and that includes me and you and all those that feel rejected.


       Any way to finish off, my little effort of trying to do some thing and earn some money and respect has so far been unsuccessful. But I will keep trying.
        You will all keep trying as well okay.......

Day 1

On this day I set up this new Blog and hopefully will do an update regularly,. At this moment in time I am not sure what it will be about, but I will be able to write some thing, even it is just utter nonsense.
I have an idea about music diary, writing of lyrics,composing of songs, guitar playing. Various events visited, in my case that will not be many.
I am a male citizen of the more mature age. Just recently become unemployed and am finding it very difficult to gain new employment. Nothing can be proved but I feel a that ageism creeps into my application failures. So due to the time on my hands and the boredom factor I have resulted into doing these bloggs and and other computer related tasks. I must also stress that I do enjoy all this and hope fully get some sort of feed back.If I do get any then this will make it all worth while.
So if you read any of my bloggs and whether you like or not please leave a reply or send an email to as below. So I say watch this space.
You can also catch up with my other writings on http://cobbies69.wordpress.com
