I am cooking. In the kitchen, obv.<\/p>\n
In fact I’ve just twittered that, with an accompanying photo. Because I’m weird. Obv.<\/p>\n
Soph has declined my offer of cooked food. She is either clairvoyant or mad – because there is no middle ground with my cooking. It is either absolutely bloody brilliant or it is shit.<\/p>\n
Tonight’s effort smells, I have to admit, of absolutely bloody brilliance.<\/p>\n
However.<\/p>\n
A short span of time passes…<\/em><\/p>\n I am no longer cooking. I am also no longer in the kitchen. My appetisingly-smellingly meal is cooling next to me.<\/p>\n I am in the lounge, on the couch (not the ouch, as I first typed. That’s something completely different of which we shall never speak here).<\/p>\n There is an episode of Friends on the TV.<\/p>\n It is approximately 18 years old. The episode of Friends, not the TV. The TV is less than four months old.<\/p>\n Has humanity not witnessed enough suffering?<\/p>\n Must the TV companies continue to inflict the third-rate comedy, made marginally amusing only by virtue of the canned and all-too-fake laughter, on us?<\/p>\n Do we have to endure this sadly dated and socially irrelevant garbage for much longer?<\/p>\n If I write to my MP asking him to put a Bill before the House to remove this (and I hesitate to use the word) ‘entertainment’ from our screens will he thank me for stating the blindingly obvious?<\/p>\n Another short span of time passes…<\/em><\/p>\n Did you know there’s a character in Glee with the name ‘Sandy Ryerson’? And did you know that he’s played by the same actor (Stephen Tobolowsky) who played the character ‘Ned Ryerson’ in Groundhog Day?<\/p>\n Did you?<\/p>\n Did you also know that Buffaloes don’t actually have wings?<\/p>\n And while I’m pointing out strangely true but ridiculous things…<\/p>\n Did you know that the leader of one of the worst sects ever – the Roman Catholic Church – who goes under an assumed name of Pope Benedict XVI, has called on his ‘followers’ to fight the Equality Bill that is currently going through Parliament.<\/p>\n His reason for encouraging his minions to take a public stance against the bill?<\/p>\n Because (and I quote) ‘In some respects it actually violates the natural law upon which the equality of all human beings is grounded and by which it is guaranteed’.<\/p>\n
