Land of the Free

Yeah, it's been a while. Not convinced that having this blog is going to serve the purpose that I hoped it would. But, we'll see what happens from here. Went to the south of Italy last month. Good rule of thumb: don't going somewhere where it's 38 degrees every day. Unless you like places that are 38 degrees every day. I discovered that I'm not one of those people. I'm a serial sweater. And that's not a lot of fun. So anyway, did the usually holiday routine of cramming 3 weeks worth of sightseeing into 5 days. Looked perfectly manageable on paper, I should point out. In the end I was praying to get mugged by those lovely looking guys on the Naples commuter train, just to get a nice air condtioned ambulance ride out of there. Here's a tip for all you Americans out there. I understand that it must be pretty frustrating, reading all the bad press the America gets around the world. What with saving us from ourselves on a daily basis and all that. But, if you really want to lift your image rating, get rid of all the dropkick dumb arses that keep coming here on holiday. So long as there's still one mid western, mid life crisis, terminally stupid idiot who insists that it's his God given right as the saviour of the free world to clamber over 3,000 year old fenced off Greek temples, then you're all going to get tarred with the same inbred brush. So, do a bit of housekeeping over there, for forks sake. I don't know what you can do with those twats now that the car assembly business has gone to it's grave, but could you not find a bit of Arizona desert to stick them all in. Just keep them locked up where we don't have to be subjected to their incanny ability to offend every other country on the planet. And that's all I have to say about that.
