Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

What is wrong with the country/world

A pair of skaters can have a heavy fall and a break in their routine, but still get a silver medal.

The Welsh rugby side can be at their most successful but still the politics in the squad force their most successful manager/coach for 25 years to resign.

The government interfere so much in our lives that they ban smoking even where everyone in a club that is paid for by the members agrees that they want to smoke.

President Tony thinks that he, not the Queen or the electorate, can appoint his successor.

The general health fascists think they can ban anything that is not good for us without considering the freedoms of choice that have built up over centuries. If this was a democracy, there would be no speed cameras…

I have to disagree with you about the Chinese. I thought they deserved the silver. They were much better than the bronze medallists and they got a deduction for the fall.
