" Those who can do, those who can't laugh at those who can do."

I don't want to get all evangelical, but some people are just not nice! There I've said it , let the civil unrest begin! Riots, street justice, the end of civilisation. Er... what do I mean? Well for whatever reason, some "people" take a delight in lying, being anti-social, stirring up trouble, back stabbing, spreading sedition, basically being bad sorts! I won't go into details as it was some recent patient activity that has set me on this course.

I don't expect group hugs, rainbows, unicorns and soft focus in the world, but at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, things were better in the old days. There seems to be a genuine degradation in simple politeness and thinking of others, and maybe it is my rose coloured time machine kicking in, but I don't remember it being like this when I was a lad! It was all fields round here... etc...etc....(fades away like an old soldier....)

In similar but lighter news : Something that really bugs me is the apparent bafflement I see in peoples faces when faced with technology or a gadget ( OK this may be my stereotypical male love of gadgets kicking in). When people in the old days proclaimed there frustration at programming their video recorders, up went my hands in a frustrated waving fashion type of movement. Most modern pieces of technology are designed as ergonomically and logically as possible. Open your mind and embrace the new! (says the man without a mobile phone, and a huge collection of VHS movies - thankfully now long since overtaken by DVDs , oh no I can't afford HD DVD or BLU RAY!!!!..... disappears ouruboros style)
