Rant 94 - 3/4/12 Subject: Practically permenant panic!

Rant number 94


No smart arse, this rant is not about annoying alliteration(particularly when naming rants. I am sure I've done this more than once by now, maybe I should stop... naa, I'm not going to) This is a rant about the next set of panics which are putting up with.

Last week (see the rants of last week for more details, if you didn't read them but are reading now!) was all about petrol panic - a problem that is still continuing. The garage around the corner from me is actually completely empty - thats a whole piss load of fuel panic bought!

Also - to show that its not all over, the garage I filled up at had no diesel and a rather unnerving & spreading rainbow coloured fuel puddle - evidently where one of our jerry can toting idiot friends has spilt some of their pressure life blood.

This week then, its all about the weather - and the relative extremes. The sun has; after voiding his bowels, reading the paper and cooking his brekkie looked at the clock/calendar, realised its only 5 am - and buggered off back to bed.

As such, its been a little bit rainy - and some snow has come back. So there's a whole new reason to panic now!

I think some people genuinely get off it. Pop into a shop tomorrow and there won't be a bag of grit or a loaf of bread on the shelves - its not like its going to last for long!

Now, to cap it off - they are saying we are going to need a hosepipe ban due to a possible drought.
Rain/Snow/Drought - they all go together so well, don't they?

The media seem to be hard pressed to keep the idiots of our nation (an ever increasing number it frightens me to realise) in a state of mild hysteria. That way, they won't think about things that don't concern them - like being robbed blind by our fucking government.

Why oh why, can people not just think for themselves, rather than taking everything the news says as read.

I thought of a good analogy for this yesterday: tell an idiot he's on fire and he'll probably drown himself putting it out! Think about it, it fits.

I think that someone needs to start handing out slaps to the face on the NHS - seriously. In fact, that's a job I would definitely be qualified for and would be keen to take on!

No seriously, sign me up: I'll do it for minimum wage. I'll even provide my own rubber gloves!

Anyway...

Rant over.
