The world is full of crazy people
Ellen McArthur Eh?
I know this will seem churlish.. but really should we all be indulging this egomaniac? What possible reason could someone have for wanting to sail around the world single-handedly. All that money she raised for charity?? Er, well no it wasn’t actually for charidee.. in fact she’ll probably make millions of pounds out of it. To bring attention to the plight of the starving millions?? Er, no actually, to bring attention to B&Q.
What would possess anyone to put themselves through such an ordeal.. Ah yes.. the challenge.. overcoming the odds.. because it’s there.. yadda yadda. All sounds egomaniacal to me. I think, for the sake of her mental health and future well being, we should all give her a collective hug and say “Ellen, we love you really don’t have to prove anything”. Even if it isn’t true.
Camilla Par-Bowles eh?
Enough already. I had the misfortune to be at home with the telly on when the news of this engagement was ‘announced’. The BBC had a ‘special’ programme to cover this non-event. So special in fact that in 1hr 30 mins the information they managed to convey was - Charles and Cammy are getting married in early April. We don’t really have more details yet. ONE HOUR THIRTY MINUTES… the rest of the time padded with endless and fruitless speculation. ON BBC News. Yes that’s right NEWS. Shame on you BBC.
I turned over to escape it (I should have know better than ITV) and This Morning were predictably having a phone in about it. Denise Robertson patronising agony aunt extraordinaire was there as an ‘expert’, and proceeded to tell anyone who would listen that “nothing would tarnish the memory of Diana” for her. How do you get to be a sodding expert on this programme?
So I went away did my ironing came back about and a half later thinking it would all be over… but no there it was still on the BBC… still saying nothing at all.
Every news programme last night… every newspaper this morning. Has everyone gone mad? At least Channel 4 News did not carry it as its lead item.
Why isn’t this confined to the pages of Majesty magazine (yes, it really does exist)…
Ikea, eh?
Talking of people going mad. Ikea Edmonton opening. Four injured… one person stabbed. People battling with wooden Mallets for a £45 sofa (admittedly fetching in leather). What posses people in crowds to behave like loons. Is it possible that the same small bunch of people are queuing for IKEA… watching the Charlie/Cammy nonsense and queuing up to welcome the B&Q advertising egomaniac back to our shores…? They don’t half get about…
