conversational goldmine

Who does Alex Salmond think he’s kidding? I don’t understand why politicians insist on sticking to a story that everyone knows to be utter horseshit. We all know why you want to delay a referendum on Scottish independence Mr. Salmond. It’s because you won’t get the result you want if you hold it now. Tony Blair did precisely the same thing with a referendum on the last EU treaty. David Cameron is no better of course. We all know he’s pushing for a referendum now because it’s likely to return the result he does want.

Each man claims he has the mandate to call a referendum, and it’s been suggested that it will go to the supreme court. Salmond will lose if it does. Constitutional powers were never devolved to Scotland. For myself, I don’t care very much. I consider myself about a quarter Scottish, but I’m definitely more British. If they vote for independence it will be a huge mistake, but it won’t affect me much.

Moving on from yesterday’s report in the mail about Brazilian brides walking up the aisle commando, the same paper is today carrying a report about British underwear habits. Apparently 95% of British women put on fresh underwear every morning, but only 78% of men do. This information has proved to be a conversational goldmine in the office today. It has spawned such topics as:

If you were drunk and with a lady that turned out to be a shemale, what would you do?
How often do you change your sheets?
Would you sleep naked with another man?
Would you get into a jacuzzi naked with another man?
Is spooning another man acceptable and at what point does it become unacceptable?

There are people in here suddenly quesationing their sexuality I think.

Ooh, the boy won an art competition at school yesterday. He won a book and some chocolate. And he’s going to be a tree and a narrator in the forethcoming production of Red Riding Hood at his school. I’m going to watch on 18th. Which reminds me, I must make arrangements to work a half day or something.
