why

why do people always wait until they are right at the ticket barriers at tube stations before they start to look for their tickets? i wouldn’t mind so much if they were tourists but no they are commuters. it must be fantastic to be surprised by the same thing each and every day. imagine how wonderful the world must seem to such people that no matter how many times they have seen something or done something they can be constantly be surprised by it.
i feel so dull that each time i enter a tube station i get my oyster card ready before i reach the barriers. no wonder i am cynical.

why is it that rather chubby cyclists seem to think that they look good when they dress in break yellow and lurid lime green very tight fitting lycra? do they think that because they are squeezed into their lycra they become aerodynamic? do they think that by wearing the lycra they can convince the rest of us that they are svelte fit athletes?
i can tell them now: it is not working.

why am i still being woken up by digby jones? (ok i am going to have to be honest here and my red mist fury at hearing meant that i couldn’t make out much of what he was saying from the sound of the rushing blood, but this is what i think he was talking about.) as ever digby was going on about government red tape, this time it was in relation to the “train to gain” programme. a programme that seems to be there to help small businesses get staff on training schemes, that is organised in part by the government and in part funded by the government (mmm maybe that is why there is government red tape?)
if digby really wanted to point fingers he could look to the various industries he champions and ask why they do not put their own cash into establishing training programmes and apprenticeships.
but to be fair he could have said that i would still disagree with him. i have just developed a total dislike for him.
