Wow, are we really such a nation of precious twats? A politician says some silly (though possibly heartfelt) comments about his colleagues and our media goes up in arms about insult and disappointment in hearing such remarks. In a nation filled to the brim with similarly eloquently put comments about work colleagues every day it seems a bit rich really. We’re either a bored nation or an anal one.

It occurs to be me that we live in an island nation but don’t have an island culture. How did we stuff that one up? We have nowhere to go, there’s only 4 million of us and quite frankly no one really cares that we’re down here unless we let them make movies here for cheap. Why don’t we take advantage of our country and potential lifestyle instead of trying to be the latest city dwelling morons. Maybe we should all start slowing down a bit.

On a lighter note I now have my electric scooter registered and have finally been out for a ride on it. It was truly excellent and the stupid grin I had still hasn’t quite subsided.
