Finally...

So, I am finally in ketosis. Meat, eggs, fish, cheese, and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

Commonwealth.

Common. Wealth.

Common - for use of by everyone. Common store, the village common, etc...

Wealth - kind of subjective but in this case I would define this as material goods and access to medium of exchange (money).

Why am I so fucking angry this morning?

Can it be something to do with the amount of raw cash that has been spent on the opening ceremony to commonwealth games when we have child poverty in this country

It was pointed out to me by a well-meaning colleague that UNICEF have / will have made a bundle from the games so that's ok then.

fair enough... Actually wait a minute...

So we spend tax money on a fucking big daft party with dancing teacakes and John, did anybody NOT know I was gay, Barrowman. And then HOPE that a fucking charity, A FUCKING CHARITY, will gather enough cash from people (who have paid already for the big fucking party) to give something back to the kids and make it all seem worthwhile?

REALLY

Is it just me or does this seem a bit fucking upside down?

We spend on the big party and hope that the charity will take care of the people we should have spent the party money on in the first place.

Well you DO need a big party to welcome all those sports stars from all those little Commonwealth nations. You know those LUCKY sports people who are LUCKY enough to have skills and talent (or in some cases the correct bounty-style families who can afford to get proper equipment and training for their kids) that allow then to raise themselves above their poverty stricken countrymen. You know, those little commonwealth countries that added to the common-wealth. Well they are pretty common and we know where the wealth all goes.

Common wealth my arse.

Come celebrate you all making the elite and upper classes even richer as we have strip-mined your country for everything we can. And left you to flounder on the world stage. But you are part of the Commonwealth so well done, keep smiling.

But anyhow...

Union. As in The Union of Crowns. As in the United Kingdom

I hate being in this union. I hate that Scotland is the poor cousin in this union. I hate that these things, like the Commonwealth games, are just a platform for naive morons to spout unionist crap.

But I'm in ketosis, so hopefully I'll be getting thinner soon.

It's shit like that which is important no?

Angry, Cumbernauld.
