I like lots of things – kids, animals, birds, trees, fog, good
coffee, alcohol, chip butties… but rarely people. This one I do.
So what is it about a certain person that makes you like
them? That isn’t as easy to answer as it might seem.
What really worries me, though, is when I find myself miming
to girl band songs.
And isn’t it infuriating when you settle to watch a good
video accompanying a good song, and suddenly there’s an ad banner stretched
across the screen which says Your
computer is slow? How many shades of offensive are contained in that presumptuous little slogan? But at
least it converts your suicidal tendency into a homicidal one, so I suppose it does
you a sort favour.

By and large, I approve of your list of liked things (as if you need approval). Except... I wasn't sure what a chip butty was. Then I looked it up and doubly approved.
In my years of reading this blog, I believe this is the darkest I've seen you.
Interesting you should pick up on that, since the post was made during a rare period of relative lightness. During the really dark times I don't post at all. Who would want to hear about it?
The darkness is partly driven by circumstances and partly in my head. The reasons are under constant analysis, but all I've come up with so far is that it's one of those times when all you can do is turn your head into the wind and hope to stay strong enough, long enough not to get swept away.
I allow myself one chip butty a week; it's a matter of maintaining standards. The term 'butty' is commonly used in Liverpool to mean 'sandwich.' Back in the 80's, most British police cars were painted white with a red stripe along the side, and Liverpudlians referred to them as 'jam butty cars.'
I happen to like you, by the way, which doesn't go amiss.
