The latest ad to appear on my Hotmail home page is for some
fancy new high tech gadget that I’m sure I would find incomprehensible even if I
could be bothered to read about it. With Christmas approaching, the catchline
is This season’s must have. Must
have? I need one? No, you don’t. The rate at which western culture is declining
into a neurotic obsession with gadgets and shiny things depresses me. Where
have all the people gone?

Over the past week or so I seem to have developed the
classic symptoms of ME. I realise now that I’ve been exhibiting them
intermittently for a few years. Should I get it checked out? At the moment, I
can’t be bothered. Ironic, isn’t it?

Where have all my
people gone?

My experiment with a green tomato pancake at lunchtime wasn’t
entirely successful. The best word to describe it would be ‘fragmented.’ It
tasted OK, though.
