No Pain, No Gain

Mondays are the curse of modern civilisation. In times of yore, men of Englands Green and Pleasant Land woke from their slumber and stirred when they felt like it. Then along comes the hated miller and with the Industrial Revolution behind him, invented working hours and the tyranny of the clock began.

 

Now you might say that as an unemployed person I don't suffer from Monday-itis, but you'd be wrong. Required by the state to earn my paltry handouts by looking for work, I must also observe the movement of people that is Monday morning. Or at least I would had I not injured my back. Nothing dramatic I'm afraid, just simple strain and a careless reach. Getting around was a trial because the injury was sending spasms of pain down my spine. Very uncomfortable, and had it not been necessary for me to go about my business, I would have stayed at home, no doubt further persuaded by the fact that the British weather is changing and warming up, bringing with it incessant rain again.

 

Pain and rain. I'll have to chalk up another victory to Monday morning.

 

Legislation of the Week

It seems that the government of Papua New Guinea (they have one?) is to create new legislation to outlaw sorcery based murders. This is a nation that has an official in every village whose title is 'Rambo'. I kid you not. They may not have left the primitive world behind, but they sure have embraced Hollywood.

About the only positive element to Mondays is that "Top Gear" is on at night. That's usually about it for me.

 

I do hope your back feels better. Those things are never fun. The worst is having to sneeze or cough with a busted back.

We're a little spoilt for Top Gear. The program, or its 'Best Of' repeats, goes out on Sunday nights on the beeb whilst every single possible past episode is shown back to back on cable. (gibber)
