Ooops, I gather that was summer? Well, now we’veall developed gills to cope… things shouldn’t be asbad next year. One of the unfortunate upshots of thisdour summer has been the fact that if you’ve beenseen in the bars and clubs sporting a tan… mostpeople will have thought you’d just gone rusty.It wouldn’t have been so bad staying at home andwatching TV if there had been anything good on…even Big Brother failed to ignite even the slightestpassion in who was sleeping with who (or is thatwhom?) any way I couldn’t have cared less aboutany of them, so I’m not that bothered about who orwhom either. On top of that, we’ve had the biggestbuild up to an election I’ve ever seen on British TV…and it’s not even our election. Come to think of it, itisn’t even the US’s… it’s all been about who wouldstand for election as President. The hours given overto this non-event is breath-taking and I can only put itdown to journalists or news-editors desperate for an American freebie to get their Christmas presents inbefore the pound finally does a perfect swallow-diveand ends up on a par with the Euro. It now looks like Iwill have to postpone my crystal and Swarovski diamondencrusted keyboard with sterling silver monitor screenfor another year… and then it will be so passé.It was strange… with all the terrible weather me andmy significant other did what we never do… we wentto the cinema as a treat. We’d heard such goodreviews and a mate said it was the best thing he’dever seen so we were prepared to be dazzled bycinemas No1 ticket - Mamma Mia. Three minutes inand I was already cringing into my chair (in an effortto put as much distance as possible between meand the screen)… the old ladies in the wheelchairsoccupying the aisles seemed to be enjoying it but Icouldn’t get over just what a disaster the movie was.I’m sure it will win copious awards and pull in anabsolute fortune but really… it was absolute pants(and not the good type either). I’m afraid I didn’t comeout with that feel-good factor every one was talkingabout… I just thought I’d spent £10 and I wantedmy money back. If all this was to distract us from theeconomic and global meltdown… my grocery andenergy bill keeps we somewhat focused… and thisfilm made me realise just how much worse it couldall get.Hugs
Gordon
