weekend whining

i) Whats the point of having a police-on-horse squad for? Nothing. They go slower than me walking. They go around and around in circle (in supposedly high risk area). Rather than providing amusement to little kids and chance to stride around town in style to the workforce, I think the whole squad is of no practical use.

ii) Seen at a local supermarket, a lady with trolley at the checkout counter with just a 50ml bottle of vitamin. The trolley can probably fit in 4 boxes of 30 cans of Cokes. Easily. Why bother having a trolley for just an item? Too weak? You will need more than just a bottle of vitamin to get stronger, my dear. (Pushing trolley i reckon will consume a lot more energy rather than carrying any single item in hands. With cumulative force downward + gravity, the energy needed will surely be more than carrying the item)

iii) Have a look at the TV listings for the usual 5 channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and FIVE) for Saturday afternoon. Boring boring boring.

**** notes added on Sunday****

iv) Seen on "Something for the Weekend" on BBC2, one of the guests prepared a cocktail at 10 in the morning! Cocktail with gin and vodka. This cant be right! Kids are watching. And is that normal for Britons to wake up to a glass of martini? No wonder the "E" in CAGE questionnaire will be taken rather lightly by the population. Whats up with calling the guest a "mixologist"? As in a specialist in mixing up stuff to make a great cocktail. Mixologist my ass!

v) Seen this morning at the park, a family (parents and a young child) walking their dog. My heart goes to the kid, he seems as being treated like the family dog in a sense that he is walking with a strap too. That shouldnt be happening.

vi) A lot of daffodils are seen blooming on the road sides. Yeay! Spring had sprung!
