David's twisted mind

Someone else hasn't thought things through. One of my collegues is called Maria and she' s recently announced that she's going to get married. Fine so far, but I've just discovered that her fiancé's surname is Ramir. She's going to be "Maria Ramir"! She can't even say it.

Once again I seem to be the only person to spot a scam. On the front of the local newspaper was the headline screaming about glass being found in a can of baby food. Again? It always turn out to be the parents trying to get money from Heinz doesn't it? It's impossible for a single can in a production line to be contaminated. For one thing there's no glass and for another there's nowhere a person can get into the sealed production equipment. I reckon these moronic parents think production lines are the same as the ones they see in cartoons. I hope they enjoy prison.

Today I heard something on the radio that bugged me on several level - an interviewee was talking about a woman who was forced out of her job because "she got herself pregnant". Got herself pregnant? Are you stupid? Apart from the obvious impossibility of that, nobody has used that expression for 40 years and this interviewee was barely into her 30s. As I listened further I became more annoyed when the predjudice of the stament became more apparent. The "victim" was infact a married women and the pregnancy was planned. The whole thing sounds suspicious to me as the mother-to-be has legally protected rights to maternity pay, the right to return to work part-time not to mention protection from unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal. I smell a rat.

The bloody woman on the KFC advert is driving me nuts. The bloke sings "If I'd known ...blah blah....99p ....blah blah... Sandra, can I have a bite?" Then she opens her massive gob and wails "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh wohhhhhhhh wohhhhhhhhhh NO!".
Sandra, STFU!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - Crazy Frog ringtones. That's enough now. Move on.
