I wanted to write about some silly things and things I don’t understand, I know some of them have to do with my age, and many years ago life was so much easier to understand too, at least that’s my excuse, so here goes with a few life’s observations.
I have recently done these:
- I walked into the small gent’s toilet at work and the light was on, so I switched it off leaving me in the dark! (I switched it on to use the loo)!
- I started to write an e-mail while the cursor was still in the ’to’ section, a bit of a mess!
- I was packing the car and threw my keys into the boot and closed it, then I walked off to the local shop (I retrieved them)!
- I pulled up to the wrong side of the diesel pump to fill the car up. I’ve had the car for seven months!
- I put my watch on my wrist and a few minutes later went looking for my watch, it was still on my wrist!
- I started to pour the water from the kettle into my coffee cup and it was still cold.
- I made my wife her morning coffee to take to her in bed and went back upstairs to have a shower and left the coffee in the kitchen
- I woke up at 5.00am and was wide awake and nearly got up to walk the dogs, but eventually fell asleep again. When I woke again at 7.30 to get up, I could hardly drag myself out of bed!
I don’t understand these:
- I don’t understand why some fans can’t attend football matches as they will be outside, and it could be done with
pre-purchased tickets, strict rules for entry and socially distancing rules in place, even fans wearing face masks? Surely some income is better than none, especially for smaller clubs and even if it means no pies and Bovril. - I don’t understand why people who are doing wrong, get so offended when it is pointed out to them, such as the local guy who parks a car on the only pavement, when you mention it to him and ask if we can have the pavement for walking on, he tells us to walk on the road, and rants on and on and on!
- I don’t understand why people think it is okay to cycle on pavements or in pedestrian zones, when there are kids and OAP’s going about and maybe not so alert.
- I don’t understand dog owners who don’t pick up any mess left by their dogs.
Einstein - I don’t understand Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity.
- I don’t understand why people don’t acknowledge you when you give way for them in your car so they can get passed in theirs.
- I don’t understand how people can eat cauliflower.
- I don’t understand why people get so offended or aggressive if they are asked to wear a face mask, I don’t understand why some shop keepers don’t have to wear them
- I don’t understand some of the decisions the Government have made on the Corona Virus situation.
- I don’t understand fluent French but can understand and talk some basics as well.
- I don’t understand people who smoke nicotine these days.
- I don’t understand why people are allowed to smoke e-cigarettes in public places. I don’t want to taste the vanilla and strawberry fumes omitted thanks.
- I don’t understand why people get tattoos on the necks and faces, but understand getting ones that can be hidden.
- I don’t understand why a footballer has to be paid £350,000 a week to play a game. £10,000 per week over a fifteen-year career would gross them nearly £8m. Someone earning £40,000 per year working all day every day will gross £600,000 over the same period!!
- I don’t understand why football players go down clutching their head when a member of the opposition slightly brush their face or head, and there’s nothing wrong with them, yet I see a rugby player trying to play on with a broken neck.
- I don’t understand why they let the ball run out for a throw-in, rather than keeping it in and playing on.
- I don’t understand how people can say they don’t like vienetta.
- I don’t understand why we can’t all live together and get on, irrelevant to the colour of our skin, or whichever God we choose to worship, after all the one thing we have in common is we are all equal and all human beings!
