Thoughts on This and That


Where do they get their ideas?

As a regular user of the internet, and a Rugby League fan, I’ve heard more than my fair share of conspiracy theories in my time, whether it be about 9/11, the deaths of “celebrities” or the challenge cup draw but, on the bus home from Tesco today, I think I heard one that takes the biscuit.

As I took my seat opposite an elderly bloke he commented on the, continuingly, crap weather. I mumbled an agreement, not wanting to get into conversation but that was enough for the bloke to seize the opportunity - “it doesn’t surprise me really, what with the increases in gas and electric, they know we’ll have to keep our heating on more so they’ve cooked it up between them that it stays like this.”

So, there you have it, the cold and wet weather that seems to have lasted forever is due to the oil and gas companies conspiring with nature. Thinking about it, there probably is no other explanation.



Typing left handed

Last night I somehow managed to trap a nerve in my right shoulder, not sure exactly how it happened, but my tendency to sleep on my right arm probably hasn’t helped. Subsequently I’m in agony every time I move my right side, even after continually popping pain-killers all day!

Surfing the net is a pain, I can’t hold a book for too long so I can’t really read and I certainly can’t do much in the way of exercise - it’s not all bad though, my left handed typing skills are coming on a treat, it’s only taken me 10 minutes and 3 drafts to complete this little entry.

Who knows where it could all lead?
