Well I do like to grizzle

Well yes, of course I’m staying up to watch the final of the world cup at eleven o’clock tonight, and in order to stay awake and sharp till then I’m going to here lecture you. It’s the weekend of course and I’m not complaining about that but don’t worry I can find plenty to complain about. Thank your lucky stars it’s not the beginning of the week, Wednesday, Anzac Day, remember, the day Bunnings thought what a great idea it would be to open at one o’clock, bet you all thought it was a great idea. When I arrived just before one it was standing room only in the parking lot. I have to tell you that waiting around till one o’clock to go to work was the longest wait. Getting off work early is great, going to work late sucks.

Least any of you thinking, “what canny traders are Bunnings” are now rushing out to buy Westfarmers, be warned, today, Saturday, normally the nadir of the week, you could play golf in the isles without ever having to shout “fore”. It’s just as I’ve always tried to teach Alice about supply and demand and Telstra shares and Tony Abbott and stuff.

Oh you think this doesn’t warrant my hump with Bunnings well what about this? Some psycho stuck up dude with more shares than brain cells has lodged a complaint at a very high level about a gatekeeper at Mascot, too engaged in his book to check on what he was stealing. Well if he’s so concerned about share value why would he be stealing in the first place, but this argument cuts little slack with the boss who thinks I should cut back on reading for a while. I remember this prick who suggests that I’m not a very good gatekeeper to which I respond something lame like it’s not really my career choice.
Luckily by Friday at Bunnings where half a day is a long memory retention span even I have forgotten this slight. Driving home that evening I’m relaxed enough to kick back and grove on the drivers playing out the road rage games I’ve played for the last two days. Phew, it’s the weekend.

I’m seriously troubled that scientists have found another earth like planet. Give us a break and don’t go near it. We’re having enough difficulty dealing here with one earth. Along with Afro child armies, Euro ethnic cleansing and evermore religious wars, arms traders are trying to re-invent the cold war with plenty of enthusiasm from the Yanks and the Russians. Do we really need to find more of us. Gimmie little green men from Mars any day. Just give me anyone who’s comfortable being little really.

What else, well I’ve got another billion dollar Idea for you, “Special Event Funerals”. Did you see Boris’s send off. If you missed it just turn on the TV it’s still going, ten day events, gun carriages, cannons, frightening cannons, mini wars, sympathetic deaths like Rostropovitch’s, do you think Kerry wouldn’t have bought had the product been available. There’s a fortune out there just waiting for the sendoff svengali. Are you up to it. Call now, franchises available. Remember I’m behind you.

I cant believe that Jamie’s TV station can keep me up till 11.30pm for a cricket match in Barbados and have it held up by rain. What’s the point of having all that money and power if you can’t have control over something as simple as the weather in Barbados.
It’s 1.30 and I’m off to bed.
This computer is becoming temperamental so I’ll log in and publish and see ya all later.
