whoop! whooop!

Been very busy what with training courses and the like. Snow and cold are seriously effecting my mad morning dash to work which is now more of a trickle. I have a choice. Go on the ungritted roads and skid like you do when you tread on a dog poo or get stoned to death on the gritted main streets.

I got my new digital camera so expect some pointless pictures as a desperately try to justify why I spent the monet. ( pun intended) . Job market is soo flat and I am getting the feeling I am a leper and that doesn't make good business to employ me.

The coffee houses in Worthing a so crap! You have the choice of the mainstream Cafe Nerd or the even more uninviting Costalot Coffee - I expect StarBucks will come sometime but hey? why do people pay £2.20 for a coffee and queue to get it? If I pay that much I expect waiter(ess) service! Heeeelooooo come on you independant coffee shops get broadband and offer it free to customers ( a few power outlets would be useful too) and get those nerdy laptop using coffee drinking peeps in you door. Big Up to SOFA on the seafront for haming big comfy sofas and nice coffee but no internet yet so have to use the old Orange 3G ( pretty much the only place it works!)

Siet of the day is the web page caches of WaYBackMachinE - type in a URL and look at the old pages!!! ahhhh those were the days............

Spot the Adult

As I waited for the bus today I took great pleasure in watching a couple of kids performing tricks on BMX bikes by the library. The slope there is heaven sent for jumps and spins. Then came the security guard and staff to wave away these terrorists - they were a danger apparently. Kids eh!!

My enjoyment spoilt I turned to watching the drivers pass me by. The ones chatting to their friends on their mobile phone tucked under their chin, oblivious to the world. The ones that shot the red light at a pedestrian crossing and finishing off with the one dropping her kids off by mounting the kerb in front of me and my fellow waiters (or is that waitors?)

So basically kids arsing around endangering nobody
but themselves = BAD

Adults driving a ton of metal at 30 mph ignoring the safety
of everyone around them = GOOD

It's no wonder that kids of today have little control or understanding of rules when their fuckwit parents move around in their own selfish worlds stuffing their faces with shit food and pissing their money away on Sky TV and flash cars.

Not only did they not even see the people around them but in some cases not even their own kids. Reminds me of a brilliant parody on life in Shaun of the Dead on the bus - everyone looks like a zombie before they become zombies!
