Where to spend New Years Eve? That all important question that comes up every year. Maybe we should ask each other where to spend the Winter? I am not a big fan of the cold dark wet months of Winter in London. I think I will be in front of the TV at home this New Years Eve or I might go to a small party at my friend`s house. Is it better to be in some new place like Big Ben in the cold or on a beach in the warm? Blue skies and sunshine is where I want to be. I sure don`t want to spend the first part of 2014 slumped in some cold kitchen or walking around the streets with a can of something in my hand.

Born in Perivale Not far from Percy Bilton Bridge I first learned to read and write and pray at St John Fishers In the street I scored my first goals I strived to be a Wiseman in Greenford senior school Sadly this was where I also had to say goodbye to my brother. The Perivale train I rode to work day after day So many people in the same race the pace was too fast the cost too high So one day I stopped taking that same train and left that race Now I am home, not far from Flynns And The Fox Discarded beer cans lying blinking in the rain Many mini-markets selling food from far places CCTV cameras and speedbumps like fallen soldiers Thousands of tweets, ,likes n txts A Celtic son still close to his Fairfields of home.

"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. "But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
