Mr Mist’s Blog

I really do. Does anyone else get sick of working? Or should I ask who doesn’t get sick of working. I think I get bored way too easily. After about a few days of doing the same thing I’m thinking "Well, that was okay, but I’ve done it now, I want something else.". I’m just not cut out for the normal working lifestyle. I need something alternative methinks.

Today’s blogness is …

A Scottish appeal against the ban on fox-hunting (IE pro hunt) has failed [news.bbc.co.uk]. This means that hunting with dogs ends (or at least, becomes illegal) in Scotland as from tomorrow. Good.

A list of seven wonders of the UK has been produced [news.bbc.co.uk]. The Houses of Parliament & Big Ben are listed as the most popular thing to visit in the UK, with others including Stonehenge and Hadrian’s Wall. I don’t know how many different places there are to go to, to be honest.

A chickenpox jab was launched today for children in the UK [news.bbc.co.uk]. Inevitably, some people moaned about it, saying there’s already too many vaccinations. I’m not sure how you can have too many vaccinations though, being as how they are meant to stop you dying or getting ill. Ho-hum. Another thing for people to go on about I suppose like MMR.

Don’t play games [news.bbc.co.uk] is the message to schoolkids from their schools. It’s too dangerous. So, many kids are not allowed to play games like tag, or for some reason, make daisy chains. I guess you just have to sit around and do nothing. Great…

Oh, it seems I may have been premature in blogging about dying when asteroid NT 7 hits our planet [news.bbc.co.uk] as apparently it’s due to spin past harmlessly. So back to just worrying about other methods of death, like being crush by a Llama.

Finally, TV game show winner Major Charles Ingram has been charged with deception and conspiracy over the Millionaire TV show [news.bbc.co.uk]. It’s alleged that someone gave coded signals from the audience to help him win. I’m not sure how that would ever work, to be honest. And surely you’d just use a hidden earpiece instead, much more effective than coughing in the audience, which anyone could do… It’d rather mess up your plan if someone else had a coughing fit, for sure..
