Roadworks.

Possible? Inevitable more like.

what is it with the arrival of spring and roadworks? I swear that there's a direct correlation between how close it is to Spring and how many roadworks are being planned/actioned/a nuisance. Normally I wouldn't mind this. So, they're fixing a road, that could be broken quite soon. Generally I say if it ain't broken, don't fix it, but I guess that if it's on its way...
But the thing that I don't understand is why they (by they I am referring to those who seem to be in charge of organising these missions/assaults/inconveniences)feel it is necessary to work on 20 mile stretches of road at a time. 20 MILES! Yes, that was how far we were stuck in a 50 zone on a motorway (the M1 I think?) due to alterations being made to the road. Joy. Wouldn't it make more sense and cause less disruption if they worked on smaller bits at a time? 20 miles sounds a bit too ambitious for me, especially for contractors. They'll keep you there forever. Why not break it up into 4 mile sections of road that you close off each time so that minimal fuss is made? Or you're only stuck doing 50 for 4 miles. Makes sense to me...

Spring is... Springing!

Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey! (Is that spelled right? Never know about trying to play around with bacon - nasty stuff) It is (quite nearly) officially the end of that period of the year that is generally spent hibernating and hidden away from public view because the weather is shit and any excuse to stay in is good enough.
HELLO SUNSHINE instead. WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS MATE?  PRAISE ALLAH THAT YOU'RE NOT GONE FOR GOOD. LET BIRDS SING YOUR PRAISES.

I guess it's also that time of year again that some people like to call Easter. You know, the day where everyone celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the tomb (which I have no idea how the fuck he got out of there btw), and the end of a long hard slog of abstinence throughout Lent. And why did you give up something through Lent? To mimic the suffering that Jesus suffered with the Devil when they mished off to the desert for 40 days and nights to stand off against each other? Or maybe your reasons are to shift a few pounds instead, and you do not associate Easter with any religious connotations whatsoever, like the rest of modern day society. All it is is a chance to eat lots of chocolate and buy more stuff...

Easter is a confusing time for me. I was brought up with the former (of which I don't truly believe in anyway, but I understand the religious sentiment) yet nowadays the latter is more prevalent. And the latter sickens me. Failure to uphold traditional values. that's what.
