‘You can make my life worthwhile, and I can make you start to smile’ Mr Big – To be with you

You know, we were kicking ass in the pub quiz last night right up until round 5 – which was all about dogs. We kind of bombed on that one & blew our really good score. However, we can’t complain as in the picture round we got seriously stuck on one photo, so Niall wrote ‘my mate Dave’. Turns out it was David Cassidy & they gave us the point for it! lmao

We get so much junk mail shoved through our letterbox. A decent proportion is for the previous occupants, who apparently haven’t told anyone they’ve moved or changed phone numbers. We’ve had various calls from business and family as well as birthday cards arrive for various people. You’d think they’d tell their family where they’d moved to. Their family can’t be that bad surely? Anyway, that’s beside the point. The rest of what we get is standard junk mail. We ignore it (unless it’s takeaway menus) and let it pile up by the door, then every week we just chuck it out in one go. But last night we got something that so incensed me, that I’m gonna write to the people who wrote the leaflet and complain.

It was from some group with the nerve to call themselves the Family Campaign. It spewed forth absolute crap about homosexuality – including the often touted ‘homosexuals are paedophiles’ line and basically implied that gay people were going to corrupt, rape and infect my children. I’ve seen some crap in my time but I was fuming by the time I’d read half the leaflet. It even tried to tell me that 5 year old children in Scotland do ‘homosexual roleplaying’ in school. I think not. These are the sort of people who would probably, given half the chance, burn me at the stake for being a witch and probably think we should just nuke the middle east cos their different from us.

It seriously appalls me that in this day and age people can be so backward & narrow minded. I mean, someone telling me they are gay doesn’t make me think ‘oh, that sounds good, I’ll give it a go’. Jeez. Do these people think that we are so easily led & gullible. So, I’m off to put these people straight. I know, it’s remotely unlikely to make a difference, but it will make me feel a damn sight better. Enjoy the weekend.

Until there is a next time…
