Face the Fear!!!

I am very brave!

I wouldn't normally boast in quite such a flagrant way, but seriously I'm brave!

Why?

Well anyone whose known me for a while will know that I have a very large (and somewhat annoying) fear of snakes. Like not a silly little one, I have to turn away when they are on the telly, I can't look at those discovery channel posters on bus stops.. yuk yuk.

But tonight, my friends, I truly achieved! In an act which should earn me soem kind of award, I went to see Snakes on a Plane! And I didn't have to leave (it was a close run thing at one point, but I stuck with it!!)

Well done me!!! (Jase bring on Germaine, I am healed!)

(by the way, if anyone comments that it was merely bearable because all bar one (eek) of the snakes was very clearly CGI'd I will be very cross.. if anyone comments it was bearable because the oh so flimsy plot made you laugh- i may take your point!)

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good.

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
