Gower on - The Royal family

Gower on - Rabbits

''God never, not after mixamatosis outbreak wot my mom told me about and after watching watership down, how could anyone''

Gower on - Drug culture

''The UK is full of snobs....................
Its not exactly like booze has just suddenly been invented on this Green and pleasant land is it ?

We are known the world over as p.iss artists wherever you go. Its like everything about the nature of the UK.

I was once told that the Brits are a nation of pubs, fighters and shop keepers. The further North you go in Europe, people drink more.
I love a drink and its nothing new to see teens getting drunk as im sure we all did it once. Its the way you bring them up and educate them that matters.

Drugs are the biggest problem facing the UK and yet politicians always go on about booze. They fail to address the drug lords and drug problems as its easier to blame it all on the drinking.''

''Posh kids , who are raised by Norland Nannies, are 9 times more likely to smoke skunk than a kid on a housing estate. Its all very well to say that little Tarquin has supper with his ma and pa and a glass of red with a steak.''

Thank you , Professor Gower.........................................

''I could never get into Taggart. I like Morse but my all time fave is anything by Agatha Christy. She had such an interesting life too and she put her daughter into a boarding school and ran off once and was missing for a while till someone spotted her in Yorkshire from her photograph.''

Gower on - International goodwill

''Please, do not think that the world detests you !

Its not the whole countries fault that this vile man did what he did and we don`t blame all of you.

Austria, is a beautiful country and the people are very friendly. Its not your fault that you have citizens who think that its ok to kidnap and lock up people or that Adolph Hitler was born there. Austria is somewhere where you would least expect anything like this to happen as it is so pretty and the people are always so pristine and upright.
There are psychopaths all over the world in every country and that is not the fault of the whole country.
If it does anything, it will make people wake up and smell the coffee and be more observant as the world is not a fairytale and Heidi does not really exist !''

''Some Americans are very racist and others are not. Same the world over !''

Gower on - Alternative therapies

''I practice Reiki and its a universal lifeforce energy that anyone can tap into. Nothing to do with religion but more of an energy field. You cant do it if you have had a fag or a drink though as the chakras will be blocked.''

Gower on - modern medicine

''I think they give out far too many pills and half the time they are not needed but they only have 9 min with each patient. I was given Penicillin a few weeks ago for a bad throat and i am allergic and the doc said it was not on my records as he was a stand in doc. I just took it for granted that they were antibiotics and after taking one i looked like i had measles''

Gower on - industrial relations

''I don`t think that these large companies should expect any loyalty from staff the way they treat their staff. The McManager style of management stinks and all they are are little jumped up t.osspots out of uni or some shelf stacking Saturday lad who has been sent on a course.
Mini Hitler syndrome and anyone could do it ! They do naff all anyway apart from dictate to staff and talk down to them, its the same in any large store now. They are just like those dorks on the apprentice show. Anyone can wear a p earl necklace or twinset, get a bob or a pony tail and tie a silk scarf in a knot around their neck and its just all for show anyway. I can read these people like a book

The clothes are frumpy
The cosmetics are junk
The food is nice, especially yogurts and dairy and meat and I love the walnut whips and pigs''

Gower on - political correctness

''This is also a lifeline for my neighbour who is also a cripple and she would not have any sort of life if she had not got help like this. Its also very very hard to get this benefit as you have to sit an independent panel of people who decide if you qualify or not but of course, im sure some swing the lead''

''Yes of course i have !
But it happens all the time. Its a spiritual connection we have as a mother and daughter. I am part Irish Gypsy and not the tinker variety either''

Gower on - the dating game

''We have all been fools in Love. I have learned a lot as i have grown older. Always let the man do the chasing as men are the natural hunters and if you chase them, they run away
I find that holding a freshly baked cake or plate of stew and running down the street with it attracts quite a few men''

Gower on - fine foods

''Isnt Sushi boiled though ? I think you could get worms and heavy metal poisoning from raw sardines''

Gowerpedia on - winning friends and influencing people

Gowerpedia on ....................................Qualifications

I have done tons of courses over the years and have a list of completely useless qualifications that would not serve any purpose in todays market from reflexology to counselling to applying false nails to basics in plumbing, decorating, electrition basics, a life guard certificate , an A level in Art etc etc etc. All useless to me right now. I just love learning new stuff but nothing important like accountancy or IT.
Im still at it though now . I guess counselling does come in handy on here sometimes and im a good agony aunt to mates in a crisis.
