Odd that I’ve not updated this diary in such a long time. I started the year with a manual diary which I managed for about a month and then gave up on that sadly. And since then I have simply not bothered to update it and yet I’ve had such a good 6 months to report!! Typical.
I am at Jack’s karate now in my usual pose of sat at the temp desk they provide me and eating shit, although I am supposed to be on some sort of diet or other…it’s not going well.
So what’s happening, I can’t recap on everything so I will add the most recent events which was this weekend just gone where Tash, Wayne, Kerry and I went to London on Saturday afternoon and relaxed around Canary Wharf and then went to Depeche Mode in the evening at the Millennium stadium. The concert was really good, I really enjoyed it but also at the same time I thought it could have been much better, but I also was about 200 metres away from the band, my companions had no desire to go closer which pissed me off a bit – quite often I was wishing I was there on my own so I could go forwards and enjoy it more, nevertheless it was still really good.
When we left it was mental chaos to find a tube but we got there and got home but there was nothing open which was a let down and a surprise.
Canary Wharf is a lovely area, we were really impressed, had a few (expensive) cocktails and some beers and a nice meal before hand overlooking the quay and we were hoping for more of the same when we got back to the hotel – ah well.
So the one thing I’ve not mentioned yet, when we got on the tube at Stratford I look at my Twitter feed to see what people had to say about the concert only to see my timeline full of alerts and stories about terror attacks in London. That’s right, we were in London and we’d experienced an attack which thankfully was small scale and not anywhere near where we were. So last week there was a terrible bomb blast in Manchester at an Ariane Grande concert in which sadly about 22 people (kids and mums) were killed – absolutely awful and heart-breaking.
The attack in London took place at London Bridge and Borough Market and was similar to one a few months ago on Westminster Bridge, a van mounted the kerb and ran people down and then three men jumped out and started stabbing people apparently in the name of Allah. They were despatched quickly by armed police but they still managed to kill 8 people. I find it shocking and sad and pathetic – I just don’t get what is being achieved by these senseless acts. Maybe in 30 years things might be different and whatever changes these people are trying to instigate will have happened. Personally, I hope not, religion to me is madness whichever one you follow I’m afraid.
Also, we’re at the end of an election campaign and the country goes to the polls in two days time – to be honest none of them are fit to rule, it’s quite depressing. We have Teresa May (Tory) who won’t do interviews, Diane Abbott (Labour) who is the most inept politician you will ever listen to, her interviews are a car crash every single time – it’s amazing to watch, and finally Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) who 4 weeks ago was 24 points behind in the polls, hence May calling the election to wipe him out, but he’s spoken well, promised the earth but not how to pay for it and May has been appalling and destroyed the lead to about 4 points. I think she could even lose and it would be her fault without a doubt
Finally, we have the biggest mockery around, Donald Trump being President of the USA. He is a mental case and is on Twitter upsetting absolutely everyone, except his idiot supporters. I don’t know where to start and perhaps it’s best I don’t write too much about him now. I will take a gamble and say that he will be impeached and removed as President, I don’t know how soon from now and whether he will last the year or not. I wake up every morning and check the news and Twitter just to see what madness he’s said now. I will be really interested to read this in the future and see what history records of Donald Trump – I don’t think it will be positive!!
