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!)

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

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. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. 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
