Trials & Tribulations

Last Monday (or was it Tuesday) a friend was on holiday for the week & rang to see if I wanted to go down the pub. I thought why not? I don"t drink much these days but it was a sunny day & I needed to get out the house ( I do most of my work from home now) so thought why not? We went to Weatherpersons first which is always good as drinks are so cheap.
Then I suggested going to the Axe. Hadn"t been there for a while. I only go in there now if some women friends of mine come down from Sutton Bridge usually to see a band. Anyway, we were having a conversation with matey behind the bar about music & I inadvertently said that some of the newer bands such as Kasabian were better than the stuff that they played in the Axe. With that Del the landlord (who I"m usually OK with) overheard us talking & told me to leave. He said if you dont like the bands why come in here? Fair point but I only go there in the daytime these days so no-one would be playing then. Then this tw*t joined in "yeh get out!" Who the F*** was he? No-one"s seen him before but earlier on he said he was a builder who was in charge of 30 people - what a joke. Who in their right mind would work for him. He didn"t even look like a builder.
I went straight to the I.Q. after that. My friend later told me that he (the builder) tried to cause trouble with him & our other mate who came in a bit later. As I said when I first started this blog. "What"s happening to this world" Nuff said.

News update

I saw the news today and was shocked to read that scientists have found a way to make sperm artificially from the DNA in skin cells. If this were to come about would women need men anymore? (they don"t seem to need them where I live anyway) What are the implications for mankind if this came about? I could imagine a scenario where men would be the fairer sex and women would be the dominant power.(perish the thought ha ha!) This may already be happening with girls doing better at exams at school. But at least in the most popular sports men are still the main contenders. Tennis is a good example. Lower seeded women players played their matches on centre court as long as they looked good on TV - the organisers actually admitted this. The men's game still garners the most interest though. The Federer Roddick final was an epic battle of the will to win and lasted over four hours, whereas the women"s final was far less tough even between the Williams sisters and was over in little over an hour. We just have to hope that this development doesn"t become mainstream as it would mean that a woman could be both mother and father to a child. I just hope and pray that we as a society will not let it happen.
