I think I heard it whiz past

I’ve only written one entry this week. Nothing to write about I guess. Work has been busy, which is good. There was pizza today, but I turned it down because I’m trying to lose weight that I put on over Christmas. The Dragon is getting on well in her new teaching assistant position. They appear to have already discovered that she is a talented artist and she’s been commissioned to produce several installations.

They say we are going to get four weeks of Siberian snow and ice here, starting at the weekend. I so hope it doesn’t happen. I want Spring. We’re planning to go to Bristol on Sunday for Chinese New Year lion dancing and fireworks. That won’t be fun in arctic weather. I also want to take my family out for dinner at the Thai orchid. It’s the dragon’s birthday coming up and we have yet to celebrate her first pay cheque.

I wonder what the RBS chief will do about his bonus. He’s been awarded a £1 million deal, but just about everyone in the country is demanding he turns it down. It’s not surprising really. RBS is more than 80% owned by the taxpaying public. They would have gone bust and none of the greedy bastards would have a job if we hadn’t bailed them out. The RBS argument seems to be, “if we don’t pay our execs this kind of money they will go somewhere else”, and my argument is, “if the scum bag thinks someone else will pay him more, piss off and don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out”. For Christ’, his basic salary is £1.2 million or something obscene. I don’t think I could even spend that much money.

Have you seen this 8-year-old playing guitar on You Tube. She is awesome.

Apparently there is a problem with people in Yorkshire meeting and having sex in cars at certain laybys at the side of the road. The police however seem to have come to the conclusion that they are powerless to charge naked couples frolicking in the back seat. There is no law they can use apparently. It’s not illegal to be naked. It’s not indecent exposure unless they can prove the intention was to shock or distress someone. No money seems to be changing hands and they are all consenting adults. The police solution; hand out information leaflets suggesting they keep it in their trousers and trim the hedgerows to restrict their privacy. Not sure how to respond really.

And finally, we almost got hit by a space rock today. It cam e within 37,000 miles. I think I heard it whiz past.
