Who made the clocks go faster?

Why are there never enough hours in the day?

I had stuff to do today and now ‘today’ was yesterday, indeed, yesterday was 2:24 minutes ago and, tomorrow, which is today, needs to start in about 5 hours.

On a different note, why are some people so damn stubborn?

Being ‘of an age’ shows me the mistakes that many young people don’t even know exist. How can someone so young comprehend time in any way which relates to them? I know I couldn’t when I was in my teens and early twenties even. If a person was more than 30 then, to be brutally honest, they just as well have been a different species. When a person is young like that, it’s near impossible to understand that someone over 30 used to be their age and do the same sort of thing, think the same sort of way. By the time they realise it, they have a list of mistakes to live with.

I am 47, I have two major regrets in my life. One I try to avoid every day of my life ever making again and that was saying I was too busy to help someone. The other I just have to live with. The woman who loved me, who raised me and was my life, died all on her own in a hospital bed 24 year ago last Saturday. Someone she loved should have been there. I don’t want to die on my own, it is the only fear I have of death.

Basically, what I am saying here is, no one should mess with their emotions, screw your body up if you have to but, never say no to people unless you have to. Money and other stuff cannot compare to the love of a good person. If we are loved we cannot be more wealthy.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
