Grumpies

Chris McEvoy has started up a blog called Grumpy Old People which kind of appeals to me – can’t think why.

Named after the BBC TV series Grumpy Old Men which was the best thing on TV last Xmas ( not saying much ) the introductory post proclaimed

We need to moan and complain a lot more than we do. I’ve noticed that people seem to have to always be positive about things even when they’re crap. A problem should not be described as ‘an opportunity’ or ‘ a challenge’. If it’s crap then why not say it.

The multi-author blog is coming along nicely and now Chris has only gone and registered a domain for ApologiesNotAccepted.com !

You may think that casting a vote twice a decade to choose between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee is ‘doing your best’, but it isn’t.

Well don’t blame me, I voted for Eugene V Debbs
