The Himalyan Hat Conspiracy Theory or "Wears Wally"

Am I alone in thinking, that the current plague of Himalayan hats swarming town are a fad?
Let's hope so.

Every time I see a person wearing one,side bits flapping, I expect them to take off, a la Flying Nun!!
I have a theory (of sorts), those poor downtrodden peoples underneath K2, knit these tea cosies with a glandular problem to sell them, so they can buy some decent bloody headware that does the job properly, preferably a Goretex jacket as well!

Westerners buy these woolen condoms to show their support for a Free Tibet (more like relieve their guilt about the third world and their part in its hopeless state), then jump in their lead fuelled 1984 Sigmas or Kombi van, choking all of those in a 5km radius, while lighting up a bloody rolly!

God that feels better.....

In a nutshell, I hate them, they should only be worn by persons 4 years and under.

Thanks for the information, I've been dropping into yours and other's blogs for a while now, to see if there is any form of life out there, still not sure....

Do you give feedback to the venues you visit?
Have you ever owned an establishment?
Is there any follow up, some time after you have visited?


Don't get me wrong, it would be too easy to say these things if I didn't agree with some of the things you say.

Watching with interest.

Where are they now? Dead I hope!

Pardon me while I re-enact the eye gouging scene from Oedipus....not because I shagged my mother (in this state, this is the exception, not the rule...can you guess where I live?), I have just witnessed one of those "where are they now?" televisual events.
A few of questions first up? why?why? why?

It seems that persons my age and ilk are in charge of programming at the major stations and are feeling all nostalgic and smug, whilst rubbing themselves and remembering the "good old days"! It was bad enough the first time round25 -30 years ago, when you lived through it, flared jeans, bad perms, hair parted down the middle, henna, KB beer,Paul Hogan, prawn cocktails, coleslaw,safari suits,plus the idea of a good night out was a big feeeeeeed down the local chinese restaurant, then come home to watch the this shit they're serving up again 30 years later.

I don't want to know where these people are, who had bad hair and probably bad breath, that were given terrible scripts and even worse hair styles are, as long as they are nowhere near a television camera!


I HAVE MOVED ON!

I am living in the now, June 24 2007...not reliving some mediocre occurence that most of us would like to forget, it would be like examining a bowel movement all over again, filmed for posterity, and the funny little anecdotes that are associated with it..."oh, yes I remember the underpants you were wearing, weren't they ghaaaaastly!!"

I'm annoyed, I was sucked in like the siren's song to this cornucopia of crap all because of nostalgia......

So back to the eye gouging.....

Welcome

After much reading of other "blogs", thought to myself, why not?
What do I want to say?
I don't know....yet.
I'm not angry, just the proverbial "pebble in the shoe" type feeling everyday when I arise that lasts the whole day through, everything from architecture, global warming (the new whipping boy), foodie wankers,bad driving, the loss of manners, "celebrity" etc.etc.etc.....you name it, it's fair game and bloody annoying.
This isn't a site for outright abuse, but just a venting of spleen, an electronic confessional that will allow myself (and hopefully others) to remove whatever is bothering them, put it down on keyboard and move on.
