I'm due a rant. Facebook is my chosen subject. I got a request this morning from the group 'Join if you hate cancer.' Ridiculous. Of course I hate cancer, it owes me a Mother. Who doesn't hate cancer? By not joining am I saying I like cancer? What a pointless group! And say we all join, will cancer then think 'Oh. A billion people hate me. I shall cease and desist all my cancering from now on.'? Far too many groups like that on facebook. As soon as a child dies within minutes the R.I.P. group is up, normally started by someone totally unconnected. If it was my child I wouldn't want any such thing. Strangers leave messages, not to give their condolences, but to say 'Look at me. How caring am I?!' You're not caring, you're intruding. I have a friend on a hate campaign via facebook at the moment. To be fair his targets are quite specific, all living things and all objects. Why I don't know. I just find it a tad embarrassing. I like facebook, and twitter, and social networking in general. Just wish people didn't live their lives through it.
Rant over.
More blogging from a building site today. There's a nasty looking mudbath where the decking used to be and decking leaning against a wall in a very casual manner. I've left the mud and the decking to it. I presume they'll work it out. If I intervene I'll end up muddy and under the decking.
I may have jumped the gun re The Leaf War of Elmfield Park. DMBC have certainly won the battle but as for the war? Well I stumbled across a path knee deep in leaves this morning. Your knees not mine, and there was lots of singing of rebel songs and mutterings of the leaf will rise again. I'd walked in on a meeting of the Leaf Resistance Movement (The Deciduous LRM) and they sounded ready for action to me.
Tom Hark night at The Keepmoat again. Just the one pushing of the button required but it was enough to put Rovers 2nd in the table on goal difference. I'm amazed I managed to press the button given I work with Rob Dannatt. He's forever interrupting, he's even interrupting me as I write this. Still, I now know his favourite confectionery is a Lion Bar. Useful stuff. I've gotta write a piece for the Rovers' programme about what me and Rob do. Er, eat pie and push buttons should cover it. Oh and correct grammar. We're forever correcting the grammar on the Keepmoat scoreboard. Rob wanted me to do a whole piece on grammar correction but given that yesterday's blog included the words 'an quality' I'm gonna give it a miss.
For those interested neither sausage rolling or laying in rook pies cures manflu.
