Ignore the smug

What can you do but ignore the smug? Everyone, including me, feels smug from time to time, but some people it seems just have to continually express their smugness by criticising others and making out that they are superior. Best not to engage in any conversation with such smug gits, lest you lose it and end up having a pointless row. 

Fuck 'em all

Left the TMO committee today after 3 years of putting up with endless shite. No fucker even asked why. Fuck 'em! Ungrateful that's what people are.

As for work - don't even talk to me about the crap I put up with there. Some teachers have to be constantly spoon-fed like fucking babies. No wonder the children in this country are in such a mess. These teachers have the cheek to comment on their pupils inability to take responsibility for themselves and then want every fucking thing done for them - 'I can't open my excel file' WAH! 'Can you print it out for me?' BOO-HOO!

Wankers!

Today London has almost ground to a halt because of the 'adverse weather condition' i.e. snow. This morning I looked out at a very pretty scene but was not looking forward to going out in it especially as there were no buses running (my usual mode of transport to work). But I wrapped up warm & set off for work, braving the slippery pavements and the horror that is the Northern line. Now I left early and the journey to Morning Crescent was not as bad as I thought it might be, even if the 7 minutes on the indicator board was actually more like 10. Unfortunately when I did reach by work-place I discovered it was closed (I work in a school. I am not a teacher).
Well that was a bit annoying but worse was to come. The journey back home took over an hour instead of the 40 minutes it took to get there, mainly because there was a lot of people at Euston & the trains were few. It's the behaviour of some of the people that gets me. One train was coming out of service at Euston and despite repeated pleas from the station staff people still wouldn't stand back to let the train empty, just making the situation worse. And when I did get on a train nearly everyone was wrapped up in their own selfishness that just made getting on and off horrible for all. Good news for me is I don't have to go the work tomorrow & when I do I hope I don't have to use the tube again!

It never ceases to amaze me how two-faced people can be. I've known this for years of course, but even so when confronted with it I still find it shocking. Yes, even an old cynic like me can be shocked by the less than perfect side of human nature. At least my encounter with this unfortunate trait this week has been with someone I've not known long so I've been forewarned!

Moan of the day 18/12/08

People are strange when you're a stranger - so the song goes. And it is true. How they act towards you one day can be different the next and no matter how friendly you attempt to be there are just some people who just look at you like you're f***ing mad. To mis-quote Morrissey 'why do I bother with people who don't care if I live or die?' F*** 'em that's what I say! I can't be arsed with arsy folk.

Moan of the week 14/12/08

Of all of life's many irritations the one that has bothered me the most this week is the horror that is the festive drinker. These creatures only emerge at this time of year to infect every pub & bar with noise, hysteria & the uncanny ability to invade ones personal space by merely existing. Half a shandy is enough to set them off baying like hounds and falling all over the place. Being pack animals makes them even worse. They hog all the best seats, public transport & the pavements and seem to believe they are the only people in the world that have a right to be there. Well they don't. There should be special camps for these idiots, well away from the rest of us who just want a drink with friend in peace. Bah Humbug!
