Yes, You Are Very Boring Indeed. No, Money Will Not Change That.

>> Thursday, January 19, 2012

As much as I enjoy watching explosions and stuff, I'm really quite boring in real life. I know, right? I mean, so far the most interesting things I've done all day, apart from write two and a half sentences, is a trip and back from the train station and make porridge, so I'm not exactly expecting MTV to turn up on my door, wanting to film my crazy antics as I make lunch, have a cup of tea and put the washing on (living the dream, people, living the dream). I don't mind this, though, because if you're honest, you're just as boring as well. As much as you'd like to think that a review of your normal day would make you look like that guy at the party who's greeting the cool people while necking another shot, I bet it would actually make you look like the guy who wears his t-shirt tucked into his trousers, and asks everyone to use a coaster. Occasionally you'll use reason and common sense to get you through the day, which explains why your breakfast isn't a bowl of vodka-flavoured heroin chased down with a cup of nails. Whatever Reality TV tells you about the life of whoever they've decided to stalk for that week, Peter Andre mostly, they will still do boring things like fill in a tax return instead of burning it, do the washing up instead of burning it, and many other essential yet non fire-related tasks. They change their baby's nappy on a mat, instead of during a parachute jump (regardless of how much of an awesome anecdote that will be at school). In conclusion, there's nothing as mind-numbingly dull and uninteresting as the lives of ordinary people, especially if they're neither rich nor famous.

Blackberry gone down? Could be worse.....

A couple of days ago, a couple from Cambridgeshire awoke one morning to discover that they had £101 million to their names. They achieved this feat by purchasing a ticket for the lott-tree and are now discussing what shade of Ostrich-hide to go in the private jet, I assume. I bet that every single one of you reading this did exactly what I did when I heard about this: planned exactly what you'd spend the money on if you were the lucky buyers of that lott-tree ticket. I don't even know what I would do with that kind of money, it's something like £300,000 a MONTH (that's after tax) if put away properly! What do you spend £300,000 a month on? No doubt I'll figure a way eventually, but the first few months would consist of me being an idiot with the money, I suspect. What I wouldn't do, however, is announce in the Mirror that I am making 20 of my friends millionaires. The only sentence I can imagine are more regretful is Gerald Ratner's "it's all crap".
