Strange going's on...

Evening All,

All being, me...and Carrie. But who knows, maybe a friend or two might read this?

Anyways, I think a spy approached me today. You know those stero-typical spies, from the movies? "In October, the squirrels often eat nuts for lunch." that kind of spy.

Well this old boy, out of the blue, just said to me, "There'll be steam coming out of the keyhole when you get home, eh?".

What the hell do you say to that??? "Erm, yeah I spose!" I replied to the old geezer, thinking, that will do, that will be the end of it.

"Sometimes, you can put your key in the door, and you can feel the steam."

What. The. Fook.

"Yee-ah, I know." I said, not knowing what the hell to say to the old guy, as I walked that extra couple of paces faster.

I think he might have been a spy. He might have thought that my bag for life with milk and bread in was actually a bag for life with secret documents relating to Tory party scandals...no wait, that stuff just comes from the PM's office. Not me.

Anyway, hoping for good results this weekend, maybe a solid 2-0 win to Leeds against the mighty Tranmere, and be that step closer to securing a Play-Off spot in League One. Only former Leeds players are bogeymen, Ian Moore, hmm maybe it'll be 2-1, with Ian Moore opening the scoring. Delph is out and Beckford is a doubt. I reckon a goal from Howson and one from Robert Snodgrass will see us through though.

Anyways, enough of my rambling predictions. Finished a gruelling, arduous 4 day week at work, but to tell the truth I am absolutely knackered. Bloody late nights at the weekend watching Band of Brothers and playing Football Manager 2009, has set me and Carrie up for a rough week. I think the earliest I've gotten out of bed since going to work this week has been 7.10, meaning that I had 50 minutes to get dressed, sorted and walk to work (just under 2 miles, mostly uphill). So knackered is the right work I think. Yup.

At the moment the number one most shared story on the BBC website, is a story about an airline for pets. No owners. Just pets. Pets? Pets on a plane? Snakes on a Plane? God-damned Snakes on the God-Damned Plane. Why? Why oh why?

"Currently, most pets travelling by air are transported in the cargo hold and are handled as baggage," said Mr Wiese, Co-Founder of Pet Airways. "The experience is frightening to the pets, and can cause severe emotional and physical harm, even death. This is not what most pet owners want to subject their pets to, but they have had no other choice, until now."

So to save the poor doggies and kitties travelling in a cramped cargo hold...they removed the seats of a plane, and replaced them with 3 rows each side of the plane of pet carriers. The small, cramped plastic boxes that you usually take your poorly pet to the vet in. Nice. I know it probably is better, since there are windows to look out of, and probably a stewardess that comes round offering doggy snacks at ridiculously high prices, but let's be fair now, it's gonna be quite the same as travelling with easyjet or RyanAir but with more space for the passengers.

But really, it does sound like a good idea, the only couple of problems I would think of is that are there really going to be enough pets that need travelling to warrant this airline? Really? And also, turbulance...turbulence, however it's spelt, shakes up the plane right? Makes it go all wibbly. All wobbly yeah? Well when these lovely pampered pets of the air take a leak or squeeze out a curly friend in their pet carriers, and the plane goes through turbulance, well. Isn't it going to send rolling all around the pet carriers, and maybe even on the cabin floor? Are these pets gonna get off a long haul flight stinking of piss? Is the plane itself going to stink of piss? Yes. There isn't a second thought about it. After a couple of flights, unless they have a mega deal with Febreze, those planes are gonna stink of piss.

And on that note, I bid you a fond farewell, and will see you later!
