An elbow in the underpass
Journey to work a comedy of errors: train doors jamming so that the train couldn't set off at Brighton, the train inching along due to a land slip, tube trains creeping at wormspeed etc. etc. I don't even get irritable any more. I just get philosophical. I was grateful to escape and walk through the graveyard in a bright and blustery morning.
After being at the office for a couple of hours, the new head of design said he'd buy all the creatives a beer. Cue the creative department stampeding to the pub. Any desire I might have had for doing work evaporated quickly after, and having returned to work I skipped out late in the afternoon to meet the French Bloke for cheery beer.
Absolutely nothing to complain about, but inexplicably feeling tetchy, especially after an altercation with barging teenagers in Hammersmith underpass as I started my journey home, at whom I roared colourfully and with fluency. Not my finest hour. Pleased to be home and buying a cheeky Chinese takeaway.
Back in time to watch Celebrity Big Brother. This mindless reality show has managed to create a fairly serious diplomatic incident as one of the inmates of the Big Brother house, a poised Bollywood star called Shilpa Shetty, has been bullied by three noisome English z-list celebs led by Jade Goody who rose to fame through a non-celebrity version of the programme. The bullying had a racist element too, which sparked street protests in India and various questions in Parliament, and tricky press conferences for Gordon Brown, Prime Minister in waiting, who happened to be touring India.
Tonight Jade got voted off by 82% of the voting viewers, and she was shown the clips of her bad behaviour. She will now be bullied mercilessly herself by the press and the establishment. So it goes.
