I’m quite fortunate, I’ve never moved house, so I’ve never had all the stress, strain and emotional upheaval that goes with it.
But it feels a bit like the end of an era today. I feel like I’ve just finished packing and I’m taking my last longing look at the place I’ve called home for so long.
My premier runs out sometime today over at swydm, and I’m not bothering to renew it this time.
Two things just occurred to me today.
Quite why these two things, and why today *shrugs* Your guess is as good as mine.
1st thought of the day…
If you go on a boat trip they have to have enough life jackets, and certain numbers of life boats (titanic anyone?)
So how come you go on a plane and you’re provided with a cheap looking oxygen mask but no parachute?
2nd thought of the day…
Why is it when you talk to a non-native English speaking person, it never matters how bad their English is, they always know a volley of swear words in English?
Why is it so hard to get good quality stuff any more?
We’ve been told for years that we’re now living in a throw-away society, yet at the same time we’re told to cut down on packaging, cut down on purchases, recycle more…
How?
You buy an expensive piece of equipment, it breaks 2 days after the warranty runs out, but you can’t get it replaced because (according to the manufacturer) it isn’t cost effective, it would cost more to repair than it does to buy a new one.
Although you have to love how they don’t give you the option of repair to judge the cost for yourself.
I swear I’ll never understand the whole porn industry. Mind you, I should probably be just as pleased about that when you think about it.
I was tootling about the internet, as you do, when I came across a blog. It was quite interesting, but after every entry was a couple of paragraphs about seeing the author on some cam site.
Now call me naive, but I was thinking it was going to be a facebook or myspace but with webcams.
Silly fraggle!
Go together like peas and cabbage…
Ok so I never could remember the lyrics to that tune. *shrugs* So sue me…
Anyway, not the entry I was planning for today, but I was reading Cia’s blog this morning and got inspired. And after all, inspiration isn’t something to be ignored! (Not to mention for a change it’s not about the local wildlife!)
So… Love and marriage…
The thing I’ve always found so odd about the whole thing, people say that children grow up so fast these days.
Well, really, you have to ask yourself what can you expect?
I’ve heard people ask children as young as 8 if they have a boyfriend, or girlfriend.
I’m sorry, but they’re eight! They’re not even supposed to know what the heck to do with the opposite sex, let alone already be dating one!
I was doing my usual paddling around the internet yesterday checking the following weeks DVD releases for anything worth having, when I came across an item connected to the new Fantastic Four film.
Apparently the actor Chris Evans (who plays Johnny Storm) has decided he no longer wants to do any shirtless scenes in movies so people will take him seriously as an actor.
Oh the poor dear, how my little heart bleeds for him, to look like that, have a body people would kill for, and not to be taken seriously. 
Did you do your part?
I did. I reduced my carbon footprint by turning it off!
The problem is, these concerts are great to raise money for charities, but they aren’t really much cop for awareness of global issues. People go, they have a great time, and then they go back about their lives like it never happened.
And having a concert for global warming and carbon emissions? Umm… Am I the only one to notice the number of lights, the number of trucks required to move all the equipment and the number of air flights that will have been used to transport all the acts to tech various locations. It’s a safe bet that lot probably tripled the carbon emissions for the month, if not more.
Seems a bit counter productive to me…
Is there a fabric shortage I’m not aware of?
I had to buy some new underwear yesterday… And… Well… I do wish they’d make them for the… How do I put it… Wider buttocked amongst us.
There’s something not altogether pleasant about getting dressed in the morning, putting on a perfectly respectable, fresh pair of underwear, only to find they’ve mutated into the worlds most uncomfortable thong by lunch time.
Then you’re forced to spend the rest of the day performing several rectal excavations trying to retrieve them again. 
I was letting my mind wander and having random thoughts while sat on the potty earlier (as you do) and it got me thinking about being stranded on a desert island.
Have you noticed, whenever people get asked who they’d like to get stranded on a desert island with, they invariably pick some hot and sexy specimen of man/womanhood, presumably with the intention of wasting away the days performing various obscene acts of wild and rampant monkey sex on, under and over every coconut tree on the island.
Am I the only one who doesn’t really get the appeal of that scenario?
Personally if I’m going to be stranded on a desert island, I want one of three people, and in the following order…
I don’t know… is it just me?
This ought to be interesting. The British Government is trying to pass a Bill to reduce carbon emissions by 60% by (I think) 2015.
The reason this should be interesting, is that with current technology the only way for a household to reduce carbon emissions by that much is to go back to the dark ages.
Well pretty much anyway.
