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!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

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

Britain's Next Top Model

It is nor often that I get angry about trash television, as I don't watch it that much. Sam freely admits that she is, however, hooked on Britain's Next Top Model. Tonight, the final three were on a Brazilian beach when the photographer called one of the girls very overweight. She was a size 10 or 12 at most, with hardly any belly at all. Just because you couldn't see the definition of every one of her ribs. The irony of the next programme being advertised being about celebrities on yo-yo diets did not escape me. Maybe in Brazil starving yourself on the beach sells magazines, but it is the symptom of a sick society. Would Marilyn ever have got anywhere in this day and age? I somehow doubt it.
