QR Code John Hunt Explain
Many of you will have seen the new Black Badges worn by some in the shed, let me explain. The new badges have a QR code on them that contains as much information as you wish to divulge. The purpose is to maybe save your life. If you have any special wishes you would like recorded on your badge then it can be done. On mine I have recorded that I am IDD that means an Insulin Dependant Diabetic. I have been known to have severe Hypo’s that make me look like I could be drunk. I have been known to pass out. No need for an ambulance I have explained it to Del. The important thing is to give me a sweet drink or sugar as strong as possible in any form Orange Juice is the best, not squash. It is all explained on my QR Code. I also have my next of Kin, my wife and the number that she can be contacted on. All this information can be accessed by anyone within seconds on a Smart Phone with the QR Code app on it. I have demonstrated it to some of the members. I would like you all to understand as some already have asked me to put on certain things that they feel could be useful in an emergency. One member said “It would be best to inform my daughter as if my wife was told of an emergency she may have a heart attack as she suffers with Angina. It could be very useful if you give it some thought and it is private to you. NO ONE is forcing you to have one, it is your decision only. Any questions I will answer anytime.
If you imagine a scenario someone collapses in front of you or the same area, do you run away or shout for help? The first thing could be to dial 999 but the smart thing could be to read his QR Code because if it was me a glass of Orange would very likely solve the problem. 999 should be done because you could inform the ambulance men when they got there that he had any problem that you maybe educated on with his QR Code.
Give it some thought, it is your choice, no-one is forcing you

Wisdom from Grandpa...

Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.

Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt he forgets his sugar.

Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.

When a man marries a woman, they become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she'll never turn into an old nag.

On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.

A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine's gonna ‘work’."

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds, is in good health, and already used to taking orders.

Eventually you reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.

Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.

Have a GREAT day and keep laughing!
It's good for the soul.

And remember my motto:

pay the undertaker with a bad check...

England my England

Goodbye to my England , So long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end

To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line
The French and the Germans may call themselves such
So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say you're English ever again.

At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too

Even schools are affected. Staff do as they're told
They must not teach children about England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils don't learn about them anymore

How about Agincourt, Hastings , Arnhem or Mons ?
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away, over the sea
We're the English from England, let's all be proud
Stand up and be counted - Shout it out loud!
Let's tell our Government and Brussels too

We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!
If you are English, pass it on please.
