Moaning Minnie

So, a number of things have been pissing me off over the last few days, and I don't want to become one of those hippy types who thinks everything is all peace and love, cos frankly - it ain't, so I must vent my spleen.

Plans for world domination are NOT going well. Ségo didn't win the French election and I feel this is my fault. I didn't check her out thoroughly enough ahead of time. Her ideas and politics were good, I'd read those, but when finally I heard her speak in a debate on telly - well, let's just say she was no Angela Merkel.

Osama bin Barrack is doing better in the presidential race than I would like. Under normal circs I'd be singing his song, but not when it's threatening Hillary. Oh ho ho no. I'm not liking that AT ALL.

The US Defence Department have annoyed me. Not because they have made a big old stupid fuss over the 25 cent coin with the poppy inlaid in it, but because they have made themselves look freaking stupid by wasting time trying to work out how the terrorist device works. And they completely ignored the breast cancer one we had last year.

The Guardian Unlimited has changed it's front page, which has pissed me off no end. I don't remember the memo about this coming out because I certainly wouldn't have binned that.

Someone at work asked me why British people say 'maths' instead of math.
'What's it short for?' I asked.
'It's not short for anything,'
'Yes it is, it's short for Mathematics,' said I, I rest my case.

An unsupervised rabble of pre-schoolers wrecked the set-up for my programme.
'Oh, I didn't see them doing that,' said a woman over the top of the hive.
'That's because you weren't supervising them,'
'We didn't know it was a school programme,'
'These three brightly coloured notices on each of the benches that seal off the area say, 'Attention, School Programme in Progress,'
'I didn't see those,'
Oh dear Lord how I wish I'd had the boldness to say,
'Well that's because YOU shouldn't be out unsupervised.'

That irritation was counter-balanced by the afternoon class teacher who actually used the correct preposition after 'different'. A rare but sparkling thing to hear.

And most of all, I am fuming about an article that Sleepy sent me in which a Cardinal in Latvia wants the Gay Pride on the 3rd of June opposed and is totally out of order about gay people.
But that's not the worst of it, the buggery stupid twat has the audacity to have my name, as does another Latvian archbish. Since Janis is clearly and irrevocably a girl's name, I think that makes them both pretty gay themselves.

So here's what I'm thinking, and this would REALLY make me feel better. Let's ALL march on Riga on June the 3rd and SUPPORT gay pride. I'd send in the gunships only I don't know if I can guarantee to only take out the bigots and in any case, I have them trained on Portugal for the time being.
