So chuffed am I about finding a profile I really like (that said I did read maybe three others Keres,Bostonboi and sweetboytoy51.)
I'm going to spend today looking at more, I've been here so long it had never occured to me to actually read what my friends have to say about themselves!
Wish me luck, and please mention any profiles of merit.
I occasionally check out the profiles of people who email me (I think that's how this whole thing is supposed to work yes?) and this particular one...well....bloody hell....*grins*
Opening my local paper today (I adore local press, with such amazing headlines as - Dog steals Sir David's cheese. About a dog, which stunningly, and indeed cunningly stole and consumed a wheel of cheese intended for a dinner with none other than Sir David Atombottom himself. First page news if ever I heard it)
Anyway, I noticed there was an article on the influx of Polish people to the area and in the back of my mind I thought 'crap, this is going to be Mr Angry Anderson of Stoat-on-the-Wold getting his pants round his ankles about them all stealing the women and the bread or something like that.'
But no! It actually featured a cut-out 'n' keep guide to basic pleasantries (with pronounciation guide) a map to the best Polish delis and what to find there, stories of young Polaks making a go of it and in general how lovely they all were and how they'd pepped up the construction industry, swelled Church populations and were driven and hardworking as well as cooking a mean sausage.
You could have knocked me down with...well with something I'm sure. What a great article to find in this angry, blamey, mildly zenophobic society we live in.
Other articles of note > Owzat for multicultural harmony? (racial equality cricket) Henry VIII - He was not such a bad guy (you couldn't make this paper up I swear) Twin feat for Mum's guide dog Barley No job cuts at Hospital.
This tells me that it is a slow news week and that I live in the most cheerful borough in London!
So grab your Local or free rag and tell me what's going on where you live
We got Sharks. Not just out normal sharks, BIG EFFING GREAT WHITES! They're not eating people or owt, just sharkin around. They've probably been here all along and we just failed to notice them.
Now what?
Chumming and tourist boats, which will lead to bolshy Great Whites, which will lead to surfers getting eaten, which will lead to Tabloid Vs Sharks (Great White in cahoots with Osama Bin Laden, Great Whites sneaking in immigrants, Great White told Stingray to kill Steve Irwin, Great White on Big Brother etc etc) which will lead to testosterone fuelled massacre of all sharks (including our lovely Basking sharks) which will lead to the complete collapse of a thus far undisturbed part of the eco system which will lead to an increase in the Seal population which will lead to bolshy seals which will lead to massacre (via Tabloids - see above)
Best shark keadline wins a prize ('THE SUN' today bore the legend --- Duh-Dum Duh-Dum, which is a fairly accurate description of the noises emitted by most of their journalists when broken down into its component parts)
Image. Well it was a fucking shark but apparently I have to get in the fucking water and fucking photograph one my fucking self. FUCK IT!
Sometimes I wonder if all the scary people joining the blogs/rambling like incoherant drunk people about groups most of us don't know exist and the problems therein aren't plants by alt to make us all go away
