I've got the cold. I'm grumpy. There may be swearing.

You have been warned.

The Cold



At this moment in time I have the cold. My nose is red raw from constant nose blowing, my head hurts, my eyes sting, and my chest still smells after smearing some well out of date Vicks Vaporub on it. I have not had the best of days. Compounding matters however, is the heating system in my work. It makes the place the stuffiest, horriblest, and just plain f*cking annoy JC-iest place on Earth.

It's not even that f*cking cold, yet as soon as the people in my work see a drop of rain they decide that the heating must go on. And then they complain when it gets too warm. And instead of opening a window to get some fresh air into the place they decide to throw on the air conditioning. Brilliant. Recirculated air is just what my sinuses need right now. Well, I hope you all get this f*cking cold that I currently have, you inconsiderate b*stards.



I'm not even like this guy. At least he looks a bit like Droopy and is therefore funny. I just look like an idiot with a red nose, watery eyes, and absolutely no resemblance to any cartoon character whatsoever.

Bad parking

Do you drive a BMW? If you do, you are statisically 94% more likely to be what I call a Car Park Twat. Just because you drive a BMW doesn't mean that you're allowed to take up two spaces. Three times today I have seen BMW straddling two car parking spaces. Why? Well, because they think that because their car is more expensive than mine, they should be allowed two spaces so no plebs drive in next to them and possibly damage the car door, and thus lessen the value of it.



Well, when you come outside and see Cock Piss Partridge on the side of your car, look for me in the vicinity.



And while I'm on the subject of driving, if I slow down to let you out at a busy junction or at anytime whilst on the road, I expect to be thanked. Just an almost imperceptible nod will do. If you don't thank me before I certain point in your manoevre, I am going to give you the finger.

[sidenote: I don't normally have anything against BMW drivers in particular. But today all the Car Park Twats seemed to be BMW's]

And once again on the subject of cars, those little signs people stick up on their windows. I'm fine with Baby on Board, and Mum to be on Board. They're fine. They serve a purpose. The ones I cannot stand are Princess on Board, or Naughty Person on Board. I even saw one recently that said Shopaholic on Board.



Not once have any of these signs made me think "Oh, I should drive more carefully, there's a shopaholic in front of me." In fact more often than not they're a hazard, as I have to drive close to the person in front to see what their sign says. So much so that one day I'll crash into someone and have to buy a Paraplegic on Board sign for my own car. (Is that in bad taste? I hope not.)

Anyway, that's enough vitriol from me today.
