So I can blame my parents!

I was looking in the mirror this morning, and realised that I can no longer ignore the strands of grey hair starting to appear. There are more than just the one or two 'wild' hairs I'd tried to ignore as random accidents. However then reading an article on the BBC news website it seem that I can, indeed should, blame my parents for this; it is all their fault!

Somehow, though, I'm not sure it makes me feel better...

Happy Thoughts

At this time of year, please spare a thought for the Ambulance and A+E staff at your local hospital. Don't get 'pissed as a newt' or 'drunk as a Lord' but just drink in moderation — preferably at home indoors — and not become an unwarranted nuisance on our streets when there are many more people in actual need of the health services.

Eat watermelon not spam

From news.bbc.co.uk …

BBC's Newsbeat reports that a study led by the US' Texas Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Centre has concluded that watermelon "has same effect as Viagra". I wonder when I can expect my first spam™ offering me a deal on watermelons?

"Won't anyone think of the adults?" First they came for the cigarette advertising and sponsorship.
"Because it is unhealthy" they said.
"Because it attracts children" they said.
but I didn't mind as I don't smoke or watch F1 racing,
even though I am an adult.
Then they came for the alcohol advertising and sponsorship
"Because it is unhealthy" they said.
"Because it attracts children" they said.
and I did mind because I like a drink occasionally
because I am an adult.
Then they came for the chocolate advertising and sponsorship
"Because it is unhealthy" they said.
"Because it attracts children" they said.
and I did mind because I like chocolate
both now as an adult and when I was a child
And the sports venues fell into disuse
And the music festivals and big events closed down
through lack of sponsorship
and because people didn't see the point anymore.
and the world became a sad and sorry place.
All because of 'the children'. Inspired by Pastor Martin Niemöller 1892–1984)
