Gobshite!!

No sooner had I blogged than the era of the gobshite struck over these last days, I have as I did when I was a mere brooding teenager found "Tony 1".

And no I do not refer as then to chest hair, or to grey hairs but to the now hastily dispatched lug hole hair protrusions. And yes I know because I pulled it out it will return tenfold, just like my nasal hair and greying locks, and yes I also know (with the benefit of hindsight) that it will smart if I pull it out, though not as much as the nasal versions I might add.

Anyway to the joys of a consumer society, safe in the knowledge that time waits for no man I have had definitive proof from two independent locations this week. Firstly Cadburys mini eggs on sale in WHSmith on Kings Cross station, and secondly Hot Cross Buns in Asda today.

I don't think someone has quite got it somewhere, I would suggest that in normal situations the premise would be to celebrate someones death after they were born and not the other way round, but perchance I miss the point. And I do like it for the balls of the whizz bang novelty marketing ploy guru who thought it up, though I can see all kinds of problems with it if it is widened to society in general.

One good thing though, I clearly missed valentines day, Mothers day, and probably a few others in the last few weeks so should be able to save a couple of quid for Christmas! Shall we start that in June next year??
