Electric boogaloo...

I'm trying to write at least once a week. It seems a great way to have a rant without being interrupted. We shall see.
Apparently we have to look forward to yet another price rise in the U.K. due to some issue or other. I can only assume that the energy companies are working harder than ever to make sure that we get the best service. That statement is,of course, complete bulls**t. Personally I have found that the internet age has caused the companies to prefer to get customers (I feel so special!) to log on and send the meter readings straight to the company. Sadly when I tried to set up an account the system wouldn't take my number ( there weren't enough spaces to even fit the numbers needed!). Fail.
You can also use the same kind of service over the phone line due to the automated system that I assume was state of the art 10 years ago!. After 5 attempts at telling HAL the readings needed a real human being appeared on the line to take the numbers. Apparently that is common practice. Hooray for technology!
I love the irony that all this time the whole green movement has been to save energy and cut costs while saving the planet and the energy companies raise their prices as some form of compensation to themselves.Very bizzare.

Its been a while...

      I haven't written a blog for ages. I think I have been waiting for something exciting to write. I haven't come up with anything so I figured I would write the usual crap I spout out in a vain attempt to get it out of my body like a bizarre exorcism!.To say that I had low expectations for 2011 about 2 months into it would be an understatement. It's been a weird year so far but I won't go into details. I'm a firm believer that life in general is cool, it's just there are outside forces that tend to f**k with your inner calm. Wow I just censored myself there with asterisks. That would be for all the little cherubs that haven't grasped the art of swearing yet (I'm sure there must be one or two of them out there!)  


     I'm gonna use this as a sounding board. If I see something of any interest (or none at all in some cases) I'm gonna type it out. I'll even share the secrets of how I achieved the body shape I have now (a clue would be alcohol and processed foods!).  Ah the days when I gained no weight despite a crazy lifestyle are sadly done. A boy of no more that 10 years old ran past me at 8 o'clock this morning carrying his breakfast - a bag of crisps (or potato chips as my overseas friends would call them). I swore under my breath partly due to the poor kid having no proper guidance but mainly through jealousy. I remembered when I could run (and eat delicious food that could clog an Elephants heart!) 


     Not smoking should make me even more grouchy and angry with the world. That should be fun!!! :-)
