I thought of making a post about plans the present
government have for re-invigorating Thatcherism, but it was turning into an
essay on how the disadvantaged underclass which she created might well become
dangerous, and I’m not in the best of moods as it is.
I thought of making a post about Other Interesting Things
that Happened in Ashbourne Today, but all I could think of was the fact that
the nice lady in Sainsbury’s refunded my £2 parking fee from when I popped in
there on Monday – and that isn’t very interesting, is it?
I thought of making a post about why I played rugby for
twenty years, but the question of motivation reared its head and I decided not
to risk it.
I thought of making a post about the irritating alternative
fictions which people create in LOTR compilations on YouTube, but I can’t be
sure they’re fictions. They might be in the extended version, and then I’d be
showing my ignorance.
So I’m going to drink my pint of Kentish ale and listen to
some music instead. I’m not finding the Kentish ale quite as palatable as the
Westmoreland ale I had a couple of weeks ago. Maybe that’s because Westmoreland
doesn’t exist any more, but the place where it used to be is one of my
favourites. I’m wholly unfamiliar with Kent. I got taken to Bromley quite
a lot when I was a kid, but that’s more London
than Kent.
Having tried the beer, I don’t think I’ll bother now.
Oh, I know what I can mention. It’s the Local Government
elections tomorrow, so I’ll be off to the village hall to cast my protest vote.
I thought of voting UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party.) Not because I
have the any time for the silly buggers, you understand, but because they and
the Tories aren’t best mates at the moment. But I couldn’t bring myself to
stoop that low, so I’ll be voting Green instead. If there isn’t a Green
candidate, I’ll be writing ‘None of the above’ on the ballot paper. That’ll
teach ’em, won’t it?
