Bored on the Train

The only reason I pick up The Metro on the way to work is because of the feature called The Good Deed Feed.

If you've never read it, I feel I should tell you that it quite literally makes my morning, because it is a collection of anecdotal thank you's to people in the general public of Britain who have offered another almost perfect stranger some level of assistance in getting where they were going or what they were trying and struggling/failing to do. 

I have my own actually: Thank you to the man in Barnes who lent Will his Mac so that he could find me. I think both of us owe you a pint. :)

Anyway, yes, keeping up the news is currently of little interest to me, because everything in the paper is 'this will kill you' or 'coalition split approaching' to be honest, we could have predicted that since next year or the year after is meant to be an election year. Here's the other thing: after a loss in their major voting base (students) Clegg and Lib Dems have got to do something to try and find the level of support they were meant to have at the last election before voters quite frankly bottled it and went for a safe option in an effort not to waste their vote.

I like not having to take life overly seriously. It's a nice change from worrying about things all the time. The ultimate expression of that recently was going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show with my friends in full costume. Walking through Richmond in stockings and suspenders with a mini skirt and corset is not something I would ever consider myself to do, however it was hilarious. Good night all round.

Brainless

Okay, so we are going to bipass the usual sorry i have not been posting in a while and since this is being written on my so called smart phone the result is going to be something like unintelligent badly punctuated drivel, but ah well, we will survive. unfortunately it appears i can neither capitalise anything nor separate things into paragraphs on here so apologies. im only using this because what i want to say is too long for twitter. cody wilson, the man responsible for making three dimensional guns available to anyone with a three dimensional printer, described calls for tougher gun laws against weapons usable to be detected by a walk through metal detector as an archaic way of thinking. who wants to point out that actually, gun control laws are the fairly recent point of view and his contraversial right to bear arms is the view that was written into the american constitution when the founding fathers originally compiled the document? surely the idea of needing a gun to protect yourself is more the archaic view? maybe im just archaic as well...
