Bored? How is that possible?

More offensive than their lacklustre performance on the pitch is the news that the England players are bored. Really? No books to read? No newspapers? Surfing the net? Visiting the local area? Rustenburg is on the edge of two national parks in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. A country with a fascinating and complex history. Not actually far from Johannesburg. I was lucky enough to go there about three years ago - can I recommend, Mr Rooney, Mr Terry, a trip to Soweto or to the apartheid museum. A chance to realise what a privileged, over-indulged lifestyle you lead. A chance also to understand how monumental it is to see a sports tournament happening in South Africa when so many of us back here (booing!) can remember the boycotts.....in fact that thought is so uplifting I don't care who wins....one could say that South Africa has won already....

I am back and I am mad as hell....

Did ya miss me? Did you even notice I wasn't here. And, which one of you bastards voted tory while I was out of the room....or voted Lib Dem thinking it was actually a viable alternative? You were warned....you were bloody warned, and now look what's happened. *Frantically searches for her "I didn't vote tory" badge, last worn in 1979, pinned on school blazer*

A puppet on a lonely string

Yesterday was a good day. Today is not a good day. Just tell me why workplace communication is SO difficult? Is joined up thinking SUCH a crazy idea? Is caring about what you do TOTALLY pointless?

Anyhoo, this is what I listen to when I need a lift...I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to it today. Enjoy and be inspired along with me.....

Mad World.....

Gosh, am I turning into an old tory? Because when I read stories like this I really feel this country is going to hell in a handcart.

Then I read
this and suddenly everything is a bit more bearable again.....

Or is it just me?

Mamma mia

OH MY GOD

I watched this documentary this evening. I watched it with open mouthed horror. I watched it wondering if I should phone Burnley Social Services. If you get a chance to watch it...do.

Please Mr Postman
