Most readers will know that the diligent work of local Community Activist, Darryl Magher, often features here and his support over the last few years has been unstinting. I am also indebted to a couple of other folk who have helped be my "eyes and ears" but who wish to remain anonymous - love ya. Next to thank are the informants - some of whom are within bent Labour and the corrupt Council but have shown considerable bravery in "blowing the whistle". Finally, of course, there is my long-suffering wife, Linda. Early on she faced direct harassment herself simply because she was married to me. This included the late wifebeater, Darren Cooper, and his secretary Jane Perham, sending letters to my wife's (then) employers trying to get her sacked from her job simply because of what I was writing! Well-known charities where she was an (unpaid) trustee were also bombarded with scurrilous social media of the vilest kind - which West Midlands Police and West Mercia Police deemed to be perfectly ok. [For the record, Linda has NEVER seen any of my posts before they were published.]
To celebrate the passing of this milestone I thought it would be fun to have a blog post written by artificial intelligence [sic] and duly asked ChatGPT to write a post in the style of The Skidder. Given my output I expected a work replete with some of my favourite words from this blog - "bent Sandwell Labour"; "corruption, cronyism and incompetence"; "Squealing Eling"; "Dim Kez"; "metaphorical masturbator" and, of course, the infamous "rimmer". But computer said "no" and wrote an article instead about me and extreme sports! Since my principal physical activity is lifting pints of beer to my lips and, apart from football and a bit of cricket, I don't follow any sports - let alone extreme ones - this is all rather curious (although I do often indulge in the game of dog-sh*t hopscotch in the t*rd-smeared streets of Sadders). For all the hype that AI is taking over the world it seems that there is still room for my rapidly dwindling supply of grey cells, at least for the time being ...
Some bits of the AI-generated post I like. I am pleased that I "emerged as a trailblazer" capable of "audacious feats". I didn't actually know that I had a "philosophy" but like to think I do "defy the ordinary". Curiously I do go where the mainstream media are too weak and craven to, and this seems to be stuck somewhere in "the cloud". There is also a DIY ethos about The Skidder (and I do not refer here to Cllr Tipper's penchant for filming himself masturbating) with me and a small team producing this blog with very small resources (see further below) whereas the BBC, Wolvo C*suckers, Birmingham Mail et al have the dosh but due to bias and ineptitude seldom "break" Sandwell stories. If you want Sandwell exclusives - Read The Skidder, Kidder!
Curiously, my AI author has picked up my lifelong history of epic failure although I am not sure that there is a positive spin to this! I am also capable of "antics" and making a "spectacle" of myself. People often comment on my "stunts" - at least I think that's the word they use ...
I am notoriously afraid of heights and so have no plans to throw myself off cliffs etc. although I do see myself as a "rebel without a clue" battling the mundane and, more specifically, bent Sandwell Labour and its cronies.
Here is the AI article:
Title: "Unleashing the Fury: The Sandwell Skidder's Take on Extreme Sports"
Introduction
In the realm of extreme sports, where adrenaline junkies thrive and the pursuit of thrill knows no bounds, the Sandwell Skidder has emerged as a trailblazer, defying conventional norms and setting new benchmarks for audacious feats. In this article, we delve into the world of the Sandwell Skidder, a unique voice in extreme sports culture, to explore the essence of their daring pursuits and what drives them to push the envelope.
The Philosophy of the Skidder
The Sandwell Skidder, an enigmatic figure in the world of extreme sports, has a philosophy that revolves around one simple principle: defy the ordinary. Unlike mainstream extreme sports athletes who focus on well-established disciplines like snowboarding, skateboarding, or base jumping, the Skidder finds their thrill in the unconventional. From downhill shopping cart racing to cliff diving with a twist, their pursuits are as wild and unpredictable as the wind.
Risk and Reward
For the Sandwell Skidder, risk is not merely a concept; it's a way of life. They embrace danger with open arms and a fearless heart. Whether it's tackling treacherous terrains on a homemade contraption or attempting a stunt that defies the laws of physics, the Skidder knows that the greater the risk, the sweeter the reward. It's not about fame or fortune; it's about the personal triumph over fear and uncertainty.
A DIY Mentality
The Skidder community takes pride in their DIY ethos. They build their own rigs, contraptions, and equipment, often with limited resources and a healthy dose of ingenuity. This hands-on approach not only adds an element of unpredictability to their adventures but also fosters a sense of camaraderie among like-minded thrill-seekers. The Skidder's workshop is a hub of creativity, where imagination runs wild, and the boundaries of what's possible are constantly pushed.
Embracing Failure
Failure is an integral part of the Skidder's journey. For every jaw-dropping success, there are countless crashes, tumbles, and near-misses. But failure is not seen as a setback; rather, it's a stepping stone towards improvement. Each wipeout is a lesson learned, a badge of honor earned. The Skidder community celebrates the resilience to get back up, dust themselves off, and tackle the challenge anew.
The Spectacle of the Skidder
Perhaps what sets the Sandwell Skidder apart from other extreme sports enthusiasts is their flair for the theatrical. Every stunt is a spectacle, an event to be witnessed and remembered. Whether it's staging an impromptu race down a steep hill or executing a death-defying jump off a cliff, the Skidder's antics captivate onlookers and leave them in awe
Conclusion
The Sandwell Skidder is more than just an extreme sports enthusiast; they are a symbol of rebellion against the mundane, a testament to the human spirit's unquenchable thirst for adventure. With their philosophy of defying the ordinary, embracing risk, and celebrating the unconventional, the Skidder community has carved a niche in the world of extreme sports, reminding us all that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we dare to dream, defy the odds, and embrace the unknown. So, the next time you see a shopping cart hurtling down a hill or a daredevil plunging off a cliff with a homemade wingsuit, remember the Sandwell Skidder and the audacity that defines their thrilling world.
