Evil exercise

sobriqueDon't do exercise. It's bad for you. I have proof.
I came back from the gym, went to check credit card balances and paid money.
And then ended up paying 400 quid to BT, rather than my CCard company.
(actually, now I remember, we owe BT money, but it's a sensible amount this time since the phone is fucked. I don't see a need to do anything about it, because ... well I have a mobile, which is what I use, cos I get oodles of free minutes. Of course, this will probably make it harder to solicit contributions. "I didn't make any calls". "Line Rental?")
Thankfully, the nice man on the bank help line with a "yeah, we get that a lot" deleted the pending transaction.
Unfortunately, this means that my credit card bill over christmas hit 400 quid (well, actually went a little over due to some imprudent book buying.).
Sigh, guess it means that due with the SG/1 and scope are going to have to wait.
But anyway, on to what I was _going_ to post. Has anyone noticed that the european union, that seems to have the ability to issue more and more edicts these days, is basically run by people I didn't vote for?
I mean, there's the UK MEPs but the _rest_ of the european parliment are foreigners. Don't get me wrong, I rather like foreigners, but I _don't_ want some political hack from a different country decide what's best for me.
I mean, take the recent Euro debacle. Loads of countries in the EU decide it's a really smart idea to shackle their economies together. And then they find that france and germany start to take the piss, and just neglect to follow the rules, and there's really not a lot to be done about it. After all, they didn't really think about how one would go about _leaving_ the Euro...
After all, _justice_ requires an authority, and ability to enforce the punishment. When talking about countries in the EU, what can any other member _really_ do to make france etc. toe the line. Go to war? I don't think so.
Bollocks to it. Comittees never work anyway. Parliment is a bit of a cluster fuck too when I think about it. I think I'll have to stage a coup in the UK and just be emperor. Then things'd be fine.
And invade france too. I could probably pursuade them that french fries were an evil french WMFB (weapon of making fat bastards) and thus they needed a good shoeing.
Oops, kinda lost the thread there.
Maybe I'll just stand for MP for Coventry next election. Or maybe I'll just spout bollocks, criticize and whinge, because that's the national pastime.
(Edited bitchy rant about bills. It can't be PMT or hormones, so I guess it must just be january blues)

It's not cynical when you're right.
