Late night.
It was about 2am this morning while i couldn't sleep, that i realised how absurd some people are. I was sweating last night, sticking to my bed sweaty. Why? Because I, living on the bottom floor of my halls, am not allowed to leave my window open and night. For 'Health and Safety' issues. Well my health was not going to benefit from another night without sleep, so i rebelled. Yes, rebelled. I opened my window just ever so slightly and instantly i was feeling better.
Now i thought it was obvious why I couldn't have my window open, say a burglar got in or a derranged duck from the brook outside tried to steal some chocolate (the bastard would have got none, due to my gorging earlier on) but then i thought no. No, it's not that simple. I think all these safety consciouss MP's and higher ups are turning into their mothers.
Do you remember 'Old Wive's Tales', the saying? And also how men apparently end up like their mothers? Well i think this is happening, do you remember how your mum wouldn't let you do anything as a child? Due to something their mother had told them, and their mother previous? One i remember was that sneezing three times in a row meant i was ill, well as a 5 year old i'd be put straight to bed! Pity it didn't work when i turned 17 and was holding down a near-to-full time job.
Anyway, my point, these politicians and safety freaks are turning into their mums, they're in charge of our general safety but heads are so full of these 'old wive's tales' that they fear to let us do anything without some sort of health and safety check performed in triplicate. Indeed maybe i should fear opening my window again, i may get burgled or that duck may get lucky.
I felt a whole lot better for disregarding these rules though, i can tell you that much.
