stuff

just some odds and sods really. the new version of the guardian is quite nice - easy to use (though judging by some of the comments in the letter page today it is the equivalent of the guttenberg bible...) but while it is nice to be able to read the guardian on the bus and dlr i think i will be going back to the independent. why you ask? because the guardian website is free the indie's site has parts that are pay to view (why why why?) found my lost glasses. they were close to where i would have left them if i had not lost them. if you see what i mean. the fact i didn't find them till late last night meant no real review today. so i may have to mention a gallery show i went to at the weekend. stay tuned. we beat the australians at cricket. woo hoo. ok game over, move on. (actually i have been meaning to do a long blog about sport but have never quite gotten round to it (but i will) i will say that for most of us the national squad winning doesn't really change our lives, it might leave a warm glow, or sore head, but that is all there is to it. oh ok maybe for the welsh it is different.) i still have people asking me if i saw such and such on the box last night. have now given up reminding people i do not watch tv. there is still a pickle shortage at tescos. seemingly just enough pickle to make corned beef sarnies with. not enough for a cheese and pickle sarnie. fuel protesters. they are turds, it goes without saying. most of them are people who have probably advocated the joys of globalisation and condemned secondary picketing. so what if a few lorry drivers loose their livelihoods, we had no problems seeing the mining, steel and shipbuilding communities disappear as their jobs went overseas. so bye bye mr lorry driver. for the private user of large 4x4 (normally found in the city) force them into little motors. and let’s hope that if they get out of line there are a few heavy handed coppers around to lay the truncheon down. my other thoughts on this is that as this can be seen as part of an attack of the horrors of globalisation, moving of jobs overseas i recommend that call centre staff jam the phone lines of the newspapers and other organisations that support the fuel strike.

other than that all is well.
