So, it may come to some, as a bit of a surprise that my video version of this written blog IS now ready to make a return... but not just yet...
In short, yes, the video blog is back and is actually going to be getting off to a BIG start, in an episode where I'm going to get to meet the Leffew family. Yes, gay family values / depfox, my gay community idols, I'm getting to meet them! I can hardly wait myself!
The only problems that I'm having in making the video's is that basically, it's taking me FOREVER to make one video at a time. Put it this way, to make a 9 minute HD video for one of the episodes, it took over 14 hours for the editing programme to complete its actions, and even then, it missed off the visuals for the titles in the video... so yeah, it's not great.
What's this about meeting up with Depfox then?
Well, yeah, they're coming over to the UK and as soon as I found out about this, I was straight away messaging Jay asking if we could all meet up, and he said yes!!! The plans, as of yet, are abit sketchy, because of course, I won't be the only one who wants to meet them. Jay's suggested going out for a meal, which I'm all up for doing, so we'll just have to see closer to the time! But I could not be more happy to be able to say.... I'm going to meet them!!!
Now, will they appear in the video with me, you may ask? Well, it's abit up in the air, until everyone knows what they're doing, then I'm not sure if they'd want a camera shoved in their face, because let's face it, they're on holiday, would YOU want a camera shoved in your face while you were on holiday? Probably not, so, who knows! Although I'm getting pictures! That's my diva demand! haha.
So, in short, life with bev, the video's are back on, the launch date for the first episode back is going to be the 7th of Jan 2015 at 10am, GMT.

A love deal already????
Some of my followers on social media will now probably be aware that yes, I am indeed in a relationship. It's been just over a month of actual relationship, after about 2/3 weeks of meeting up and that was after months of talking online. Tonight, something happened in my mind that made me sure of how I feel about him and I kind of want to explain it to you, more so I can make sense of it myself (writing things down often helps me get my thoughts right).
Basically, I was working behind a bar in a members lounge, it was a quiet night with hardly anything to do and next to nobody to serv. About 9pm and in walks a man and his... well, I presume dad, but I couldn't be sure... an older gentleman anyway. Anyways, so they both order their pints and I got a look at the younger guy, probably about, what, 28 ish, piercing blue eyes, short dark hair, a small amount of stubble and for a while I was stood there thinking "hmm, he's actually not that bad looking". As soon as them thoughts began to enter my head, I remembered my boyfriend. I could actually imagine what he looks like when he first wakes up, which is when I find him just adorable... and usually makes me want to jump on top of him for hugs and a big "awwwww, you're soooo cute of a morning", said with my vile morning breath.
Now before I met my boyfriend, the thoughts would have been with me for a while longer about how good looking the guy in the bar was, but now, I find my thoughts drowned out by images of my boyfriend, and when that begins to happen, I feel a sort of, sadness, because he's not there with me, and I'd love for him to always be with me.
Granted, it's still early on in the relationship, and of course nobody is here to say that the relationship im in is going to be around forever, but, I know what it feels like to be in love and I think... wait, know, this is it.
It's scary though because usually I am very held back with my emotions, infact it has been said in the past that it's easier to get emotion from a stone, than it is from me, but that's because I don't like to commit to certain feelings unless I'm sure they're there, and when I'm sure they're there, they're there to stay.
With my boyfriend I am looking forward to the future, were taking things as slow as we can, because we both know that if you rush into things, chances are, you're going to rush back out, but it's been long enough for me to get to know his personality. We've only been meeting up a short while, but already I feel like I've known him a life time, and it's feelings like that which make me think.... this is love.

Can a failing NHS be saved?
For readers outside of the UK, this refers to the UK's National Health Service, or, NHS for short. Over recent times it's become more clear of how services are being carried out over-budget, but with nobody able to identify exactly where the money is being wasted.
It could simply be a case, as is in my personal opinion, that the NHS is being cash starved, so eventually it will be "saved" when it is sold onto private firms, to carry on delivering a service.
It's a very sad thing at the moment, how the NHS is being seen. Only 2 weeks ago I was in a hospital with a relative, and able to see myself the dedication that the staff have. We were at the Aintree hospital, Aka, Fazakerly hospital. We arrived at about 3 ish if I remember correctly, and from the moment we were in the hospital, not one member of staff could have been more polite, nor done enough for us. It was actually a massive thing for me to see, because it made me, as an outsider of the NHS, want to fight to keep the NHS alive, and of course, get it's staff better treatment (IE, better pay and better working conditions). Everybody from the woman who came round with free food and drink, to the Dr's, who's bleepers kept going off telling them of major trauma cases coming into the hospital, made all people feel that the patients health was number one, at all times.
Don't get me wrong, there's a few thing's Id change, like a patient wouldn't be moved wards past say, 9pm, or something like that, because being woken up in the middle of the night and either moved or discharged from the hospital, is not a good thing, that said, I'm sure those rules are not created by the doctors and nurses who have to carry out the work.
The question of this blog post is, can the NHS be saved, or is it too late?
Firstly, we need to identify where the money is going.
Granted, there's been (in my opinion) some VERY foolish spending on the part of the NHS. For example, I don't think breast enhancements should have ever been available, for anybody. I do believe that the way the management has been set up within the NHS has been wrong in the past, and in some area's, still is, and as we all know, managers in the NHS do not come cheap! Yet there's been reports of some workers in the NHS having 3 managers at the same time.... well WTF? Who decided that any role, would require 3 managers, at any time?
There's MANY rumours going around about where the money is being wasted, but if you speak to any employee of the NHS, either past or present, they will all have their own view, and the reason's are vast, but do seem to make sense... but all have one thing in common... Their idea's, if spoken about, fall onto deaf ears, somewhere along the line. THIS is where the money is being wasted. Look, the NHS has some of the most talented dr's and nurses in the world and they really could change the NHS for the better.... if only somebody was listening to them. Don't get me wrong, many are signed up to union's, but they only seem to deal with the pay, work environment and a little about the future, but even their suggestions are falling on deaf ears.
Secondly, we need to look at the NHS budgets themselves. As we know, over recent years, the UK has seen ALOT of new people coming into the country, and of course over time, these people are going to require health care, be it a simple check-up at the Dr's, or a full on session at A&E because of an emergency, so, have the budgets been increased in order to deal with this new demand? By how much have they been increased or decreased?
Finally, I will say, the NHS DOES have a future, but it needs people's idea's to be listened to and a governing body that will act upon idea's and not just push them to one side. It needs support.
So my message on all of this is, if you see any NHS petition's, look into it and sign it, we need more people to begin screaming to save the NHS. We have a wonderful thing, lets not let it go to waste here.

Taking on "Britan First".
In my own little battle against modern day racism and extremism, I like to keep an eye on who or what is the cause of it. It was at one time a joined battle of the BNP (British National Party) which has since folded and the EDL (English Defence League) which as with the BNP, has folded.
They're not completely gone however. Literally over night these two forces came together to create "Britan First", which to the outsider may well seem like a possible political group, is actually these days one of the most racist groups you can find, with their actions being along the lines of those of the KKK in America, which yes, is still going strong to this day.
So what is Britan First?
Britan first has a fairly strong hold on social media, especially facebook, where they would upload pictures for people to share, these could literally be about anything, but it was getting the name out there and of course people agreeing with what the group was saying. Then, as they grew in numbers, the group began to show exactly what they were about. Standing up against immigration in full, saying that it is standing against terrorism and extremism, without realizing the irony that their own actions cause terror and are indeed extreme.
Britan first does NOT want to put britan first, it wants to put forward its own version of bigotry forward, first.
So what am I doing?
I'm taking my time to try and educate people on what britan first actually is, what it stands for, who its members are and what they are up to. They seem to say one thing, but then do another, which I guess they learned from the EDL, who would kick off because a poppy was burned on memorial day, but then at the memorial services of the first world war, they had several members urinating on memorials.... Yeah, that kind of thing.
On social media it is hard to push forward the education of who this is, unless you have a better platform than I do, so, who can tell you?
Hope Not Hate is a social media collection of people who aren't afraid to point to racist people and say "Shh". Almost daily, you can find them posting something about britan first, and to be fair, the news they post signals to me, that it is a group that is full of trouble makers, but will never really get anywhere, and as with the BNP and EDL, it will fizzle out as time goes by. If for any reason I say this, it's because the group are already in boiling hot water, for their use of the royal crown, without consent (which yes, is still a crime in the uk). Government bodys are now involved and action is soon to be brought about against the leaders of the group, should they (which they will) fail to co-operate.
You can click here to be taken to the Hope Not Hate twitter account.
To finish off, IF you see anything by britan first on your facebook, or twitter, use that space to educate people that storming a mosque during prayers is classed as an extremist action and that britan first is supposed to be against extremist actions. Educate people that the level of immigration into the UK is not the reason why the country is in debt, or got into debt, or why there seems to be so few jobs around. Use the space to educate people that they should look into what actual Islam is, instead of being afraid of the unknown, that muslims do not hate dogs, that they are peaceful people and that most importantly, most muslims do not support things like the Islamic state.

Missed the point of Pride.
Recently Manchester celebrated it's annual pride event (it's always held over the bank holiday in august) and I've seen thousands of pictures and video's from it, but I can't help but think... most people who went have missed the whole point of us having a pride event.
What IS gay pride then?
There's several reasons why the gay community holds a pride event, anywhere in the world. It's to feel united for once, to take stock over the progress towards equality and what's happened in the past year, it's to get our brains thinking about what we need to do next in order to gain equality, it's a time to take a reflection about what has happened to the community over the past, it's to inspire.
Tonight, on the Monday, the pride will close and as always, it's a candle lit vigil in a park, where if you want, you can light a candle and join in the service, and to be fair, is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole pride week.
A week. Yes. That is how long pride goes on for in Manchester.
Not a lot of people know that, because it gets over shadowed by the "big weekend", where there's the parade, celebrity's and live music. It's the time that the pubs and clubs cash in on pride and of course these days, it's where pride makes it's money to help fund it through the year.
The big weekend helps people to come together, but there's nothing said about what has happened to the gay community over the past year, there's nothing about what we want to happen in the next year. While yes its all singing and all dancing, it's missing the point. Most people will only go to the big weekend, because they want a drink and a good time, they actually don't care about the gay community and the strives towards equality. Most gay people these days will say that they are treated equally, yet, look into the law, we've still got a long way to go.
Blood donation - Gay people still have to prove they've not had sex for a year before they can donate blood.... good look proving that.
Marriage equality - Gay people can now get married to people of the same sex, but look into the divorce side of things. Did you know you can't file for divorce if your partner has cheated with a person of the same sex?
General public safety - Any straight couple in the UK can walk down any street and hold hands, you try doing that with your partner of the same sex in most of the UK's council estates, you'll soon find yourself in hospital or a mourg.
Employment - While legally no, any employer can not terminate your employment in the UK based on your sexuality, they can and will look for other ways to get you out of working for them, if they don't like your sexuality, infact in many cases, you won't get the job at all if you "appear to be gay".
The wider community - In other parts of the world, people are still hunted down and killed because they're believed to be gay, as a gay community, we need to stand up for these people and push our MP's to make change happen, in places where they can't.
5 examples there of things we need to change, and yet, most gay people wouldn't know or care about these issues until it has an effect on them. Now don't get me wrong, there's people working behind the scene's to make these changes happen. Many organizations and charity's are trying to change laws and keep people safe... but you need to be aware of these issues in order to be safe.
Going to the big weekend at pride, because some good singers are on, is not going to change anything, nor does it educate people. So sure, wear the colours, shout out loud, be proud... but educate yourself at the same time.
Manchester pride and the people who work for it and support it, is brilliant, but I feel it's letting people miss the chance for education on what are still violent issues. Equality can only be reached by us knowing and dealing with the issues.

Delay to Life With Bev on Youtube.
Yip.
What?
The title kind of says it all really.
Ok, you want the full story then? Well...
Earlier this year I had a really good laptop, an acer aspire 5058t or something like that, it was literally the bomb, nothing could go wrong with the software on it, it could knock out a 5 minute full HD video in under half an hour, it was perfect... But the laptop had been failing for some time in the physical sense.
Some screws had come loose in 2013 at the base of the screen, it had 2 metal arms that hold the screen to the laptop, so of course when several screws came out of one arm, it cracked the plastic screen frame and of course then put more pressure on the other arm, which after a few months, became detatched from the screen itself. I didn't have the money to get this fixed, so of course the antenna for wifi snapped, meaning it couldn't get much of a signal, the wires for the screen went, so the screen stopped working.... meaning I had to use an external screen.... which over the course of a few months, the connection for began to come loose.... It all came to a head when I opened up the laptop to try and fix it. A billion and one screws had to be undone and most broke due to the age of the laptop, and that's where the laptop is upto as we speak. It's in several bits.
Now, my facebook friends and twitter followers maybe, know that I'm now in a relationship, and with a guy who knows about computers a little bit more than me. So I borrowed my friends laptop and have since pimped it up with different versions of windows and of course, tried to get some video editing software put on it... which I managed to do on one version of windows... before it broke the laptop.
Because of all this, Life with Bev has been put on hold. I'll admit now, theres 2 episodes already filmed, so these should be coming out as soon as I can get some video editing software to work.
So the video blog of this, WILL be making a return.... just not anytime soon....

Is it just me?
The world at the moment seems to be quite a mixed up and messed up place, and it's not looking as if it's going to get any better any time soon, infact, my gut tells me, war is looming.
We have religious based groups trying to take over parts of the world to enforce their version of the faith's rules upon us. We have the likes of Russia who resorted to shooting down a plane. We have public cases where racism shows it's head and that it's still alive within our police services.... all horrible stuff, and I've not even scratched the surface here.
You know what I find more disturbing? The fact that we can't just see people for what they are... people. The saying is true that we are all just human being's, trying to be. We are all equal and should be treated as such, yet, we're not, far from it infact.
When I look at a person, I don't see a race, I don't see a sexuality, I don't see a sex... I see a person, whom, until they piss me off, should be treated with the same respect that I expect to be treated with... and doing this for years, has done me quite well.
In short, I'm worried about where we are headed at the moment as a human race. Are we really going into a world war to try and end all wars? Are we really going to allow the murders of innocent people for much longer, in any part of the world and for whatever reason?
This has all got to stop.
