Mrchipps1's bio
i am a single man , as my wife passed away many years ago . I am looking to make and possibly meet new friends of both sex socially and possibly for days out?
my hobbies include music, singing in a choir and playing the piano for fun and relaxation . I love poetry in rhyme and over many years have created my own even having a few used in South Africa to try to enlist people to become organ donors
For awhile I had seemed to have lost interest in it and several other things due to loneliness, anxiety and minor health problems etc but now i have restarted writing and hope to create new poems, that I can hopefully use as lyrics for new songs I am a member of a Wakefield meetup group and am using this to try to help me get out more and meet new people and hopefully make now friends and find new inspiration for many things in my life? I am also a volunteer within SWYFT NHS, as I want to use my life experience and life skills to help and support other people, who for many reasons are unable to help themselves and possibly live better and more fulfilling lives. I rarely read books unless they are about self help topics -

Would you buy Christmas Dinner Big Soup?i used to buy ordinary tins of big soup and eat them on Christmas , day as I was working on my essays and reports for my HND in social sciences. i did this because I was on my own during the Christmas and the new Year period for me Christmas and new year only brings to me sad memories of my late wife , being unwell with Cancer and dying. she died on 4th January 1994 age 45 for me Christmas can still be spent on my own , , even last year during the main time of the covid19 pandemic , life was bad But i was lucky as my young nieghbours and her mum brought me a full Christmas dinner and a very large glass of Prosecco.ViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withi understand, take care and stay safe and well mr chipps1 sometimes it is hard to navigate a computer site, so then i get flustered and almost take flight but normally i think hard and work things out, instead of losing my rag and beginning to shout so the moral is of my poem is to keep on trying instead of your losing patience and crying because when you have achieved what you need you will end up feeling very pleased in deed Mr Chipps the poet manViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withHi Rayo, i too sometimes find it hard to navigate my way around some web sites, but now that i started to get more self confident and build my self esteem, i don.t give in as easily as used to I often wonder what the creators of some sites are thinking when they design them, probably that everyone is the same and sees and thinks as they do. when i create my poetry i do what my heart and mind tells me, and do not think of future readers needs lolViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withHi Rayot, i purposely didnt ask Adriana how she can live without a man in her life, because her comment made it plain that she sees men as being demeaning, inferior and less important than men? i accept her decision and will leave it at that?ViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withAriadne thanks for your message about loneliness and the cure being in a persons own hands!!! on this i have to disagree with you, because several times, i like you have gone out and spoken to people in cafes and parks etc, sometimes it was positive, but several other times have been negative and left me feeling like a leper, wishing that i had not bothered and stopped at home i have also gone on coach holidays and been made to feel very unwelcome, and the more it happens, the more it makes a person feel bad? i find that things can be worse with couples, who think that i am simply on the pull, like all single men . i was once accused of that by a doctor of Sociology at university, (she finished up being told she was a SEXIST BITCH) by the other university students in the group i was a member of. i know from experience that single women are more readily accepted than men are, for several reasons you and i probably have very different circumstances in our lives, that have led to us being on our own. it does not bother me ,that you compare horses to men and prefer horses, i personally dont like horse as i am afraid of them! yes i love poetry and have also got some of my poems on the culture section of this site my biggest success was to have 4 poems, about !organ donation" displayed in Cape town South Africa , for over 2 years. i stopped counting when iI reached over 2000 poems. I have hobbies, but as a person i am a social animal and love company and meeting people, but after 25 years on my own, i still feel lonely and like company, either as companions or in a meaningful relationship Best wishes Mr Chipps1ViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withHi Ariadne Thanks for your reply, sadly only you can decide what is the best thing to do, but you could always give it a go , and if you get replies then its a bonus, but if you don't, then nothing lost I too have done the same as you, but I still keep trying on another tack ,i have used many dating sites and met a couple of ladies, but sadly they have had unhappy past lives, with men and are so hurt or damaged that they believe that all men are the same, I have also found that some dating site profiles are fake, for various reasons which of course is not always true Please feel free to chat with me, no strings attached, its a very lonely world out there on your own. i had been on my own over 25 years, and it does not get easier take care Mr ChippsViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withi have now been widowed longer than i was married, and because of ladies playing games,or having been abused and believing that all men are thugs and want to control ladies, or simply use them as chattles or concubine? i have completely given up on finding new genuine lady friends to chat with and see if things developed have other members been a victim to the same situation?ViewDate:

20th Dec 2019 Mrchipps1 commented on:
Should over 70s be banned from voting on the country's future?I served as soldier, so that we could have certain freedoms and enjoy the things both we and our parents worked hard to earn the rights and freedoms everyone should be able to enjoy without being bullied by snowflakes and spoilers, simply because they either dont like things, or have the guts, or balls to accept them instead of wanting to change every single thing, for their own egos so to these pathetic wastes of space ( snowfIakes, bullies and so called political correctionists I say say to and rot in hell to hell and stop trying to bully those senior and more intelligent and life experienced with pathetic younger people, who may have brains, but simply want to use them to bully and ridicule the senior citizens if they believe that I am not respecting them, they are completely right, because you have to give respect to get it back long live the rights of senior citizens and keep fighting aging those who want to ban our rights, such as the Brexit and other social rights votesViewDate:
10th Nov 2019 Mrchipps1 commented on:
Should over 70s be banned from voting on the country's future?I am over 70 and proud of it, and what right does a younger person have to dictate how and what I should do un my life. I served my country for over 10 from 1972-82 which is many years before these bullies were even spawned, to become pointless voice pieces for politically incorrect snowflakes. if you don't know what you are waffling about younger people, simply keep you gobs shut .ViewDate:

Is it ever OK to date a work colleague?why shouldn't we date a work colleague, if a company puts a ban in work relationships in place, in my opinion they are being dictatorial and I will simply find another job and to hell with them ,as they are infringing your freedom of choice, expression and libertyViewDate:

Should smart motorways be scrapped?I completely agree ,or perhaps we should take a leaf out of Germanys book and have laybys , with barriers where it is safe to stop for short periods. because even if we have laybys on the motorways we are still at the mercy of driversViewDate:

Would you like a general election?I completely agree with your comments, lets get on with life and out of Europe and obey the electorates wishes on BrexitViewDate:
25th Oct 2019 Mrchipps1 commented on:
Would you like a general election?I don't want an election, because to me personally it will not change a single thing in this country, all it will do is waste millions ,allowing pathetic MPs and party leaders to try and baffle people with their manifestos, that usually aren't worth the paper they are scratched on, we all know that MP,s and government do not keep their and don't care about the electorate, just their own egos and pockets so what is the point of an election, as it will simply slow down the pace of getting this country England, out of the greedy clutches of Europe and its bullying paymastersViewDate:
25th Oct 2019 Mrchipps1 commented on:
Should 'wolf-whistling' be a crime?I can remember when wolf whistles were seen and accepted as a compliment to either a lady or man? people did not do out of pathetic sexism or disrespect, simply as a compliment. my late wife told me that she had been wolf whistled at , and when I asked her how she felt, so told me it made her feel good and I told her that as long as it made her feel happy, I was also happy for it to happy and her accept it. sadly it is one of the freedoms of expression that we have lost today, because of pathetic people who don't have brains big enough to understand, that many people can make their own minds up about things and do not need sad gits or snowflakes to bully them into believing that things must happen a certain way, or we are breaking some stupid unwritten laws that live in pathetic bullies heads. and must be obeyed without question on fear of prosecution by the bullies and brain affected morons, who sadly seem to have killed of common decency, mutual respect and self belief and freedoms of thought heart and mind. long life decency and mutual respect, to hell with political correctness in all forms and bullying by snowflakes. we did not serve our country for it to be taken over by bullies and despots in search of egotistical power anddominationViewDate:
25th Oct 2019 Mrchipps1 commented on:
Should smart motorways be scrapped?I think that smart motorways are confusing and need to be either scrapped or drastically looked at and adapted so that drivers can understand them, because I believe that the average motorists does not have any ideas about how that actually work?ViewDate:

Are you more likely to buy a Marathon than a Snickers bar?I think that changing a products name for a short period, is simply sales gimmick to try to lull people into buying failing goods and [possible con people into believing that they are getting back the original items and ingredients , when it involves food stuffs. I wish that foreign companies who buy up English companies would show respect and at least agree not to kill of well established company and product names for at least 25 years. for example Rowntrees merged with Mackintoshs and then was bought by Nestle. and now Rowntrees appears sometimes on products, but Mackintoshs does not appear on Quality street tins/boxes Meredith and Drew biscuits was swallowed up by another company and is now known as United biscuits. and, 3 Halifax breweries Ramsdens (bought by Tetleys, now Carlberg) Whitakers were bought up Whitbread, and Websters bought by Watneys, and where are they now. plus how many car and motorbike companies have been swallowed up and killed off by foreign companies simply for greed or to kill off competition hopefully when England is finally free from the EU,s clutches, we will again see companies with English names, displaying stickers, saying made in England (not Britian)ViewDate:

Do A-levels put students under too much stress?if A level students and their families think that doing A levels puts them under a lot of stress, then they need to get real and realise that if they go to University, things will be a lot harder and stressful. plus when they go into the real world of employment, things will be much more stressful and they wont have parents shoulders to cry on. I went to college and University in my 40s and 50s and finished with an HND in social sciences, I lived on my own and didn't have anyone to support me, so I simply got on with it and enjoyed learning new and interesting things, that set me up for the rest of my life. So if students and families think A. level exams are stressful an hard, they should spend about 6 months away from home as trainees in any of HM forces, and work 36 hours without a break except for meals, or even several month on active service, abroad in war situations as many of my fellow soldiers did and I would have done if required as a soldierViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?I think the Boris is simply acting like his predecessor did and is acting like a spoilt child and dictator and in time, he like her will simply come to a sticky end people will only take some much garbage from him and all MPs, who are not working for their constituents, but only thinking selfishly about their own lily livered skins. I hope that when we next have an election, the whole lot loss their seats. they seem to have forgotten that we pay their massive salaries and can sack themViewDate:

Should seagulls be culled?I think that in some venues, seagulls have become notorious and a danger to the public, they should either be culled or given birth control!! I was in Scarborough a few weeks ago and a gull took a sandwich from a mans hand while he was walking along the front, and trying to eat it.ViewDate:
