Failing that, take me to Alton Towers, I feel like weeing my pants on that air ride all over again. It’s a sunny day in London town after the week that had all the weather we could ever want and more, and all I want to do is stay in, play some games and do some ironing.

Rock and Roll indeed.

I have a bearded hobo face, underpants which, well, less said the better and my stomach is growing to the point I can be a stunt double for the Marshmellow man from Ghostbusters. I even am starting to smell like elderberries. Sounds like a classic case of “being slightly full of himself to pretend he’s down in the dumps”, doesn’t it?

I suppose that in the grand scheme of things I have nothing to cry over, at the moment I still have a roof (with dodgy paintwork) over my head, a job which does indeed challenge and a lady hanging around who cares more than really she should, it appears. Yet that doesn’t stop me thinking that I need to run away. I just want to hide from various people for a good while, get my thoughts and self back together like good old Humpty (well I’m not made of egg so we have that saving grace). Then perhaps the Lord of Leisure will be back in business.

The only thing is; no idea on the best way to achieve all this without pissing someone off. What avenues I have explored already seems to upset someone, and trying to avoid things like annoying people is close to impossible seeing as people are everywhere. I was told by someone recently: “People are People.”

This was in response to the fact that when someone is onto a good thing and doing well, others seek to destroy that or you unless you give them a fair amount to leave you alone, basically they want to be better than you through your efforts. Also do something they don’t like and well….

In London I see this everywhere.

People are only interested in you when you can provide them with something or do something for them. If you can’t, then bye bye. You can argue that is the case everywhere in the world because that is human nature. But then again I’ve not seen such a high concentration of this behaviour anywhere else before and I can only base things upon what I see.

And this sort of brings me back to what this rant started all about. How can I do anything without annoying anyone else? The answer perhaps is not to care about what other people think and go it alone all the way with your endeavours. But what happens when you would be annoying people you actually like?

F**k it dude, let’s go bowling.
