No blog
again yesterday, mainly because after Kile had been taken off to a wedding
anniversary party I went off into town to do some shopping. Here we were with an excited Kile waiting to
watch Tremors yet again and guess
what? Yes, the DVD crashed on us! So that was why I went off shopping. We are trying to keep away from blue ray
though, far too expensive for buying the films for it. So in the end I bought a Sony DVD for £36
from Currys. Later today I shall get
that set up. But ... on the way back
from town I called in to the Anker for a pint - and had two pints of Abbot, and
very nice they were too. However, by the
time I got back home I wasn't up to sitting and doing the blog.
While I was
sitting having a minute in Asda, and hoping that the rain would ease up before
I walked to the car, I overheard a lady talking to her mum on the phone. She was saying there there had been a riot in
the town centred on The Granby pub. and there were 'hundreds' of police all
over the area. Later in the Anker I got
speaking to a man who said that the Granby had been totally smashed up and that
Crown and Railway Tavern were on lock down with the landlords only letting
people who they knew or recognised. The
rioters had arrived by train so the two pubs on a direct line from the Granby
to the station passed both the locked down pubs.
But what the
hell is wrong with these people? At one
time 10 or 12 pints was a quiet night for me.
Yet all I ever wanted to do was get to bed and sleep. I'm still the same now as evidenced by me
being too tired to sit and write the bog yesterday - and that is after just two
pints! So why do these morons only see
red and want to smash things and fight the cops when they get drunk. I just can't understand it at all!
While in
town I bought a Maily Dale and sat
reading it while enjoying my Abbot. It
seems that the elf and crazy crew are at it again. The claim is that sitting is now a health
hazard. Of course, that's just what the
head line said, they certainly know how to grab attention don't they! Reading the story behind it you find out that
in actually fact sitting is not a hazard for the sitter, but sticking your legs
out is a hazard for others walking by.
It seems that in a shopping centre in Worcestershire is banning students
from using a raised platform to sit on while they completed some of their home
work. As the Dale says though, it's probably more a case of getting rid of them because
they are not spending any dosh!
I had hoped
that I had a photo of the area where the riot was yesterday; I haven't instead
here's one looking at the market taken from outside the Granby pub ...
Those market traders wouldn't all that happy
at having their trade chased off by drunken louts methinks!
A special
funny today seeing as Brum is having its annual St Paddy's Day parade-
Archaeologists
in Ireland have discovered a snowman's graveyard. Further investigation proved it to be a
carrot field.
