Introduction and Allegro

Ah, so I've finally done it.
I've joined at the backend of something decidely cool and uncool.

I have a blog! Finally!
Now I can terrorise the www society at large by my mainly unfounded, confounded, unsubstantiated and ignorant views on the world. (Please note, British police: I am not a terrorist, just in case, you know I might actually get shot for using the terrorist word) hahaha.

Who am I?
Well, hopefully if you are bothering to even look at this page, you will be known to me, and I onto you. But in case you need a description, I am a ... well actually I can't be bothered, I have better things to rave and rant on about. (I will be suprised if I actually remember how to get back to this blog site to unleash more banalities upon www. Ah, my friend, www, how I love thee)


Rant 1:
Anyway, today on the BBC there was finally an acknowledgement that there is a consensus that there is a problem of global warming and that we will have to do something about it. Ha! Einstein! Pure genius! It only took about forty years!

editors note: I am currently being a scum on the Earth and have about three times the carbon footprint that I should have. I know, I did a test. The computer said so.
And, you might ask, what am I going to do about it?

Probably, in typical human nature, forget about it for 60% of the time (well, one does have to sleep, and sleep, don't they?)
I plan to:
learn more (and put into action) about how I can stop doing bad things and start doing good things.
terrorise (Ha! That word again!) everyone that I know into doing good things and not bad things.

(It's all in my 2007 manifesto, I'll have you know)

I've even started manically and maniacally turning off everything at the switch when I'm not using it, and ripping out plastic windows of envelopes like there's no tomorrow.
The council has received several very polite letters from me asking them nicely why they don't recycle plastic, amongst other things. I received a very polite response, which said, ever so nicely, that they were going to and they didn't quite have the right resources (=money, incentive) to put it into place just yet.

(Hang on, maybe they want to wait until we live in a stinking cess pool of our own waste)

Next on the list for letters, in a rather ad hoc sporadic way, is Unilever, supermarkets, and those stupid people that won't fix the leaks in the Thames water supply. Never mind that parts of Britain are faced with severe drought by 2050.

Enough on that, for the moment.


Rave 1:
I want to say how fantastic two organisations are: Music in Prisons and Save the Children.

Today I went to prison, I quite enjoyed it. It involved a trip to the South West, Zone 6, ever so exciting and simultaneously dismal. It was at a Youth offenders institute, and 8 'young people' (correct terminology, I'm told) working with 3 facilitators put on a 45' show. Most of the songs were bloody brilliant. Nice one.

I also went to see Save the Children as I've finally got the time to put my money where my mouth is and contribute to the voluntary sector. I'm going to be calling schools and getting them involved in a project called School Links and the annual Friendship Day, where little British kiddies get to learn about kids all over the world, and their school experiences. I'm quite excited about working there.

In fact, life is absoultely fantastic!


Rant 2:
Internet dating... enough said (for the moment)

Rave 2:
Nancy's vegetable stew. Absolutely superb. Thanks, Nancy.


Anyway, too-roo
