It's happened. I'm officially one of Terry's TOGs (Terry Wogan's Old Geezers). There are so many things niggling away at me at the moment I could have a Micheal Douglas journey (Falling Down) any day now.
Item 1. The mothers at school. About 8 years ago the children of the primary school Little Fink goes to, made some totem poles out of redundant junk found in the school, old chairs, bits of table, remnants of wood etc. They made the sculptures, painted them and had them planted in the school grounds. They looked great, really original. None of the school children has defaced these poles or touched them in all that time, until this week. This week when the 6-7 years old moved up to the playground in readiness for the next school year. 3 separate mothers completely ignored the fact that their children were breaking these sculptures, climbing all over them, hitting them with the broken off bits. I am sick and tired of women not being responsible for their childrens' actions. I turned to one and said, "Is that your son climbing on that statue? It has been here for nearly 10 years and your son has been here less than a week and is about to break it." She didn't say anything to me and tried to call her son away to no avail. He is obviously used to doing just exactly what he likes, as are the others.
Item 2. Of which no 'crime' is being committed, apart from the imagined one in my mind!
There is a driver who parks his green Vauxhall Astra outside my back gate some nights and it makes my blood boil. He lives about 200 yards around the corner in a 3 storey town house with 2/3 parking spaces at the front of it. It drives me mad, why does he have to park there? When the whole road is empty, he parks outside my gate. WHY? I want to write a note on his car, report him for a phantom infringement, just get him away from my home and out of 'my' parking space. Yes i know you all pay your road tax, so do I. But why does he have to park outside my house when there is more than enough space outside his house? ARGH
OK rant over, just enough left in me to say, Little Fink starts Ju-Jitsu on Thursday, with the tutors that used to teach Mr Fink! Roll on Thursday!
