Having decided to take a break from the blog so many outrageous things have happened that I am back!
First there was the tube strike. I still do not understand what that was about – beyond my assumptions that they want more money, less hours. The usual. What they achieved was complete grid lock on the streets and roads of London. Hobbling what was left of the public transport system.
Why: If there is a transport strike why do people think that it is a good idea to drive to work? Do they think that no one else is going to also have this genius idea?
Equally annoying was that it was the week I decided to sell my bike – whoops!
Second I have met yet another guy who thinks that it is okay that the first time you meet to ask whether you want children and why you don’t have a little bundle of joy yet? And to further outrage explained that the best way to divide up the household chores was that the person who doesn’t work does all of them, and the person who gets to go to work is the one who earns the most. Well that would be the man on average!?
Why: and where do these people come from? The 1950s?
Third, in the third week of May, beginning of June the media proclaims, predicts and promises that this summer will be the best ever – droughts and hose pipe bans are predicted.
Why: do they do this? It never comes true and raises expectations of suntans, BBQs and swimming.
If you have any other ‘why’s let me know. I have to dash to work now but feel better with the venting of the spleen…. oh but I have two more:
Why do tights that are ladder resistant also make a hole in the toe?
Why do I always chose boys I can’t have?
Hurrumph…. right best go to work!
