water off a duck's back
Do sheep get really heavy when it rains? and why can nobody guarantee my food won't have nuts in it?? everything you eat these days has a warning it may contain nuts, why? we can send messages across the world in seconds, talk to anyone at anytime, and any place on a mobile phone but they can't guarantee there are no nuts in my food. Are small boys breaking into food factories spreading nuts on food?
It's madness.
And another thing why do people like fluffy things? if Pandas were bald and pink no one would like them. Nobody would care if they became extinct, if fact they might encourage it, but because the panda has lovely fluffy black and white fur everyone loves him. Saddam Hussain should cover himself in white fur and then people wouldn't be so angry with him, they would just think how lovley and cute he looked. But that's just my opinion.

isn't the smoking ban rubbish?
The smoking ban is rubbish in my opinion. I hate people telling me what to do and this really is the final straw. What's it all about? I was in a pub in Ireland enjoying an illegal lock-in into the wee small hours one night surrounded by money launderes, theives and petty criminals - and everyone of them nipped outside for a fag! I ask you. If they try and bring it in in this country which they enevitably will we must resist - resist I tell you.

grumpy
I'm not old but I am grumpy. Grumpy is something to embrace, it's a state of mind and in some circumstances and unavoidable one. When it's not just your bowel that's irritable don't worry you have finally passed over to the otherside. Don't be ashamed you are not alone. Grumpy is great. Nice is sh*t.

it's all in the planning
The past few weeks have been hectic to say the least. With Easter out of the way and a bank holiday around the corner there's so much I want to do this year. Travel the world, jump from a plane, do charity work in africa and qualify for the horse of the Year show. It's difficult to know where to start. Travelling the world will most definitely have to wait. I'm starting to live with the idea that I have missed out on the chance to travel now. I'm well into my career and have to accept it's not going to happen until retirement. Assuming of course I live that long. As for the sky dive it's a possibility. I'm over the hardest hurdle - plucking up courage to do it, the rest is easy - I hope. Getting people to sponsor me more than 50p will be the hardest part I'm sure. It just needs planning or maybe that's the hard bit. Either way I have every intention of doing it this summer so watch this space. As for charity work in Africa, that could happen to. I've been offered a place with a woman who has been travelling out to Malawi for a few months every year for most of her life and she's prepared to take me next time she goes. The only hurdle, and it's a big hurdle, is raising enough money to fund it. But the next trip isn't till November so I'm not worried yet. As for the horse of the year show, this is my biggest ambition. In fact it's something I want so much the fear of failure is holding me back and it shouldn't. I've spent the past three years quietly training my horse who has all the charisma and presence of a superstar. Unfortunately I'm doing it all on a shoe string and while I'm working fulltime in a pretty demanding job. There are two chances for us to qualify. At the Rutland show in June or the Royal show in July. And it all depends on my courage in the jumping phase. All three things need to be planned well if I'm to have any chance of making them a reality. Lets jsut hope I haven't set myself a range of impossible tasks doomed to fail leaving me with an overwhelming sense of failure for the remainder of the year! If I achieve one thing it will be attempting to qualify for HOYS the rest will be a bonus. And anyway there's always next year!

is it Friday
Hi everyone. It would seem at least one person, other than those I share an office with, have bothered to look at my blog, which is nice. They have asked why my mate was playing conkers in the pub (see first article). He was playing conkers in the pub because he wanted to hold a conker championship. As it happened he did, but at a more friendly pub. Unfortunatley there were a few injuries including a knife wound (he slipped making a hole in a conker) so it would seem the heath and safty argument was a fair one!
Does anyone like goths? apparentley they are nice middle class kids with a dark sense of humour. Not sure if this applies to Marilyn Manson though.

talking point

If you are a political animal or you just want to sound off this is the place to do it. I'm open to hearing what you have to say or any issues you want to raise. Patricularly if they affect people living in the super town of Market Harborough or Lutterworth.
Today's issue is stupid laws which annoy you. Have you become the victim of a stupid law?
In Harborough recently Trading Standards stopped a bakery selling Harborough Cheescake because it's against the trades discription act. How crazy is that. Most people who buy harborough cheesecake already know what it is and if they don't they only have to look at the packet to see it's a small cake and not a big buiscuit based dessert. Madness.
My favorite so far though is when a friend of mine was thrown out of a pub for playing conkers in the autumn. He was told it was against health and safty regulations - ahhhh
