Has time sped up?.. the week 'flew' by..x

Glad to see Friday.
Mulled over whether or not to write a poem or thoughts about bad apples, ended up with a cross between the two!
Trying to convince someone of that when they're really upset about something can be tough.. so usually I'll say whatever the person needs to hear at the time, like
'Shit..what a b******, or... scumbags, or whatever else may be appropriate!

Later, when they've calmed down and reflection kicks in the discourse will change... and it's all good!! it's all healthy!!

It's been an interesting week.
I went to a conference in Islington about the riots, enjoyed the speakers on the panel. No new issues were raised really, but the workshops that followed revealed just how important class is to some people. Or to be precise ( what I've now dubbed) 'The desperation of the 'middle classes'

The following day I had a discussion on whether or not the so called 'Lotto Lout' after winning all that cash) was middle class..
On realisation that neither one of us actually cared that much..we ended up having a good old laugh, then concluded that perhaps there are those of us who need not fret unnecessarily about that particular issue.. not here in the UK anyway!( A topic for discussion on a slow day!)

Completed an assignment (with the intention of coasting it) then felt bad all day that I did that... now I'm worried it's not good enough.. almost worried anyway:)

In the run up to my birthday ( which is the same as my lovely daughters) I think I'll treat myself to a glass of wine every day (or night) with my dinner.. or without lol!!!

A cab driver made me laugh in the week with what's possibly a very bad joke..
Whilst referring to the state of some unruly youths, he blamed the restrictions placed on parents who wish to 'discipline' their own child/children..'old skool stlye'

'They know their rights!!' he exclaimed..
No they don't.. I thought..
'Yes'.. he continued 'If you try and beat them they say they gonna call...errm
'Childline?' I tried to help him out
'Errrr'...
I realised that maybe he wasn't as familiar with Esther Rantzen as I was.. so I continued..
'Social services?'
'Yes!!!.. social services!!'
I was glad I could assist..
'Tell you what'.. he said.. 'Mine big now.. but anyhow dem did ever get outta han'...
I woulda just chop off one a dem arm and one leg!'.. both from the same side!!..
'Eh!?!'..
'That way.. dem cyarn go nowhere''...
I'm confused!?!.. my face said..
'Dem cyarn keep dem balance!!!'

He kissed his teeth
F***

Yesir.. he had a unique sense of humour
Enjoy your eve lovey people TGIFx
