i don't want your money honey i want your love

Jeez, I complain about the weather when it's shit, but I'd forgotten that the worst thing is when it's nice and you have to look at it all day from indoors! Like I have all week! that's the worst! When I worked at the Spread Eagle, that summer, I think it was 2006, Was the hottest hottest summer ever and I watched the whole thing go by through the tunnel of dark wood that was the pub. It was unbearable!! Then on the ONLY afternoon that I had off, after having my friends drop by everyday fresh from Jesus Green outdoor pool, refreshed and full of life, I went off to the pool, DESPERATE for a refreshing swim, got changed, noticed the skies were now grey, and ignored it through determination, then before my toenail was even fully submerged, there was a bolt of LIGHTNING! A LIGHTNING STORM! ONLY over the exact area of the pool!!!unbelievable.
It ended up ok, as I recall we went to the Maypole and played on the Quiz machine, while indulging in daytime pints. (Alex, I think this is when we discovered the hardest (and most addictive) quizzy game in the world: Hex!!!)
(can you put brackets inside brackets (like i just did up there?))

Oh my good gravy, did anyone watch the Apprentice??? Frigging hell, I mean I know the producers have to choose thick people in order to make it funny and all 'uh oh' and so Nick and Margaret can roll their eyes when someone say something unbelievably thick, but OH MY GOD THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THICK! they are literally all so thick that it's like there was a competition to get the thickest people that they could! I was actually on all fours trying to push my head into the sofa watching last nights one!!

I already hate the blonde girl and the girl with black hair and dimples who looks like a doll. When the man said, 'can we get blinis?' and the blonde girl goes, ' mmm, i've heeard of them...'
ARGH!! The boys are as bad, and christ, the spot on the one who got fired!! His lasting legacy will always be the giant camera close-ups of his massive spot for about ten minutes! poor bastard.

I love the Apprentice though, it's actually the only reality TV programme I watch, I find it totally compulsive, I love Sralen, (Sir Allen) and I love Nick, he's my absolute favourite, and I pretty much love Margaret too!
The reason I love it is because these people deserve to be exposed for what they are, they need to be publically humiliated, and taken down a peg. Unlike people on Big Brother and stuff like that, who are often vulnerable to humiliation due to self-delusion, ignorance and stuff, and bullying, which is NOT fun to watch, these people have no excuse: They have all made money, they all think that they are superhumanly intelligent, and they all love to shit on people to get what they want, they mistake it for having a strong character, when actually they are simply
a) very very greedy b) show-offs and c) incredibly confused about what is important in life.
People who want to make it in business are my worst people. I know i say that about lots of people, but they are my worst. I can not even empathise 1% with the people on the Apprentice, what do they care about? what do they want? Anything? Any job whatsoever, so long as they get money and they have people below them to boss about? How could such an ambition actually create any drive in you at all?? They all have such a lack of creativity, that's what gets me, they just flatline through life, 'i love business', ' i always get what i want', 'success' is the main thing they say, and they say stuff like ' there's no such thing as second place' and stuff.
Can you imagine them in any life situation, reading a book? going to the cinema? even sitting next to you a dinner, talking about themselves, talking about how much they love to win, cripes, what a bunch of boring bastards.

i know i will always be poor, i don't care about money, it doesn't interest me, how can it, it's money? It's a thing that causes constant tension and sadness to 98% of the world. Being a cleaner, or a train driver, or working in a newsagent or in a bloody library, all of these things are more important and more interesting than sitting in a massive office every day worrying about imaginary money, which you want really badly, even though you don't really know why.
