After a surprisingly good
night's sleep I was up shortly before 6am and put on the telly for
some light entertainment over brekkie. I noticed that there were
re-runs of the Tommy Cooper show on the ITV4 channel. I gave it a
go...
It was possibly the worst
thing I have ever seen on the telly. It simply wasn't funny at all;
it featured all sorts of straight-men trying to be entertaining
whilst Tommy Cooper himself grimaced at the camera. I watched it for
twenty minutes out of a sense of amazement; how can something so bad
get air-time?
After this I watched a
few minutes of Toddlers and Tiaras; how can such sweet children have
such horrible parents?
As I drove to work the
Sunday morning news was of an ecclesiastical bent; as it is on
Sundays. There was discussion of something
the Pope said a year or so ago which at the time seemed to pass
un-noticed. Apparently he feels that having been a do-gooder is
sufficient for a (dead) sinner to get into heaven. Atheists as
well as beleivers can get redemption through doing good.
So much for what it says
in the bible...
I got to work and had a
surprisingly busy day. During a tea break work I had a little
look-see at social media and again was amazed by my fellow man. It
was as well I only had time to read and didn't have time to write
anything. I may well have given offence.
The gist of what I read
from so many people posting was that apparently those whose
preferred political party didn't get elected are (understandably)
somewhat miffed by the result. But their feelings are viewed as a
matter of triviality to those whose choice won.
Those who voted for the
government are seemingly getting rather sick of the whinging from the
also-rans, and are telling them to shut their rattle, man up and grow
a pair.
I suppose that eventually
I will shut my rattle, man up and grow a pair. But in the
meantime.... leave me alone... and if you did vote Conservative,
please don't tell me. I *really* will think the less of you
for having done so.
