Oh dear and I thought the damn vowels were hard. This whole forcing oneself to come up with positive things each week is harder than it should be…. and the ‘dislikes’ still come flying to mind much quicker than the ‘likes’ unfortunately. No doubt this is because I’m a cycnical and pessimistic crotchety old thing who’s getting old well before her time. Any day now I’ll be ranting about how ‘back in my day’ we used to stand up for adults on the bus! Oh wait… I was doing a bit of that yesterday wasn’t I? Whoops :$
But before I bore any hapless reader who hasn’t had the good sense to tick the little ‘Mark as Read’ box already… I stumbled over this on Youtube today and while it has nothing to do with anything, I just felt the need to share –
Ok "Q"s for inordinately long post full of drivel today.
List of 10 Things I Like That Start With "Q"….
1. Quality – I’d rather pay that little extra and get a quality product
2. Quicksilver – mercury… we used to play with the stuff as kids

10. Quacks – I have seen over 50 odd specialists about my back since I first suffered a whiplash injury in 1991 unfortunately many of them for expert medico-legal reports. So most of them weren’t even remotely interested in treating me or trying to offer any useful advice or referrals or anything. Strangely enough their findings varied widely depending on who paid for those reports. Fucking quacks the lot of them.
