Oh Well ...: October 2007
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 06, 2007. If those in power will not confront the problems we want them to then us ordinary folk have the power to force the issues. If we. All governments, whether elected or dictatorial regimes, need money, lots of it, and much of that money is ours, is in our pockets and bank accounts and we can spend it anyway we want! I want to see a. Global economy where the strong cannot dictate to the weak, where the International Monitory Fund is abolished and a. World Bank is brought into exis...

Oh Well ...: March 2009
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Anyway, a new start, and who knows where it'll go. It will be a busy job, but I am sure I will enjoy it - I like being busy. Culzean's a very beautiful place too and it also has plenty of wildlife so I have bought myself a new digital slr camera and hope to take some really nice photos while out and about. Well, this was just a quick note to get me back onto the blog again. Got to go and pack now. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Oh Well ...: Scotland’s Future: where is the popular debate?
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2011/05/scotlands-future-where-is-popular.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Scotland’s Future: where is the popular debate? It has been more than 300 years since Scotland lost its autonomy through a small band of self-seeking “rogues” – where no other Scot had a say in the matter. The progeny of these rogues are those who are demanding the SNP hold their referendum now! There are times when we need to remind ourselves who we are and where we come from especially when making decisions that will affect the future of ourselves, our families, friends and neighb...

Oh Well ...: An Act of Poltical Cowardice
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2009/11/act-of-poltical-cowardice.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. An Act of Poltical Cowardice. Today’s announcement by Alan Johnson that fellow Scot, Gary McKinnon, a man who suffers from mental health problems, is to be extradited to the USA to face a trial that could send him to prison for 60 years is an act of sheer political cowardice. Brutal murderers in Britain serve less time than that. What is it about the USA that has our politicians scrambling for scraps from their table? This special relationship only works when the yanks want som...

Monday, May 11, 2009. It seems that what attracts some people here is the very same thing they feel free to spoil for other folk. 8220;Could it be the tide? 8221; I asked, hopefully, pointing to the sea. 8220;What’s the tide? 8221; asked a six year old. Jimmy Cliff’s excellent reggae song: there are more questions than answers, sprang right to mind. Oh well, it is taxing, but very enjoyable work here at Culzean Country Park.

Oh Well ...: April 2008
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. Hi, been busy of late and not been able to write anything on the blog for a while. Working 2 part time jobs and a full time one is a bit tiring, though I did get out for a couple of beers with my cousin on Friday. Enjoyed it Tommy! Shame you couldn't make it Jim. I have just read that China is a bit miffed at being demonised in the world. Just not fair, is it? If it keeps the Sudanese government happy, just let them get on with it, eh? Why rock the gravy train? That's why countrie...

Thursday, May 14, 2009. Home Farm to Port Carrick Bay – The Cliff. I SET OUT FROM my lower cottage flat, walk through the wooden gate onto the Castle. I arrive at the old Ranger Station, now a sweetie shop, a nice building in the wrong place – too close to the Ruined Arch. The Arch appears to be an older ruin, but it was des. Walking along the path from the Battery I look down on Dolphin House with its huge Tipi tent on the lawn. This building which was once th. Overhead, a gull lets out an excited cry &...

Oh Well ...: Been a strange time
http://ecojoe.blogspot.com/2010/07/been-strange-time.html
Sunday, July 25, 2010. Been a strange time. The day I wrote my last entry I was unemployed and on the dole. The season at Culzean had ended a month before and I had been turned down for a temporary job at Caldeonian University (the same job I had supervised for five years before I left to become a countryside ranger) – yes, I was a wee bit upset! So now I was on the dole (or the "buroo" as it is known in Glasgow) being paid pennies with christmas a few weeks away. Depressed, me? Monday, July 25, 2011.
