Welcome to my new-look blog. Black. Minimal. Not sure that I love it. It will do until I find something else. Watch this space.
So. Are you sitting comfortably? Then it's time for some pictures. That's right, holiday snaps for you, my dedicated (albeit entirely imaginary) blog-readers. They don't seem to want to post in this posting so I'll finish this one then open a separate one. Technology fun.
On a more serious note: Never one to be political, I must nevertheless say how disgusted I am at the news reports that a group of holidaying Britons refused to board their flight home until 2 Asian gentlemen were removed from the flight by security. Apparently they thought the men, 'looked suspicious and might have been terrorists'. An already deep-seated racism that has been allowed to run rampant, fuelled by the media. I think it is so wrong. Where will it stop? It doesn't seem so far-fetched that Asians will start being tagged, like the Stars of David pinned onto Jews during WWII. Makes me ashamed to live here. Someone needs to teach these people that not all Asians are Muslims, and by no means are all Muslims terrorists.
And if I may, newsflash to the Limeys: It is not the terrorists who wish to bomb your cut-price flight from that tacky European holiday destination (they have bigger fish to fry!); it is the long-suffering locals at said holiday destinations who have had their beautiful islands ruined by your boozing, clubbing and generally atrocious behaviour that makes Britons the most hated tourists in Europe, bar none.
Ok, rant over.
Does anyone out there remember the 80s sitcom, Perfect Strangers, with that American guy and Balki? No idea what reminded me of it, but there you are. Random.
Oh, and the post title? Because I can. Randomness rules today.
I must now go and watch Neighbours.
