Random ramblings

This week will just be a few entries that I can't fit into a full blog. So away we go -

I must be crazy. I just booked an 10 day holiday to Mexico, to see a woman I've never met before. Why do I do these things? My heart is racing after I've done this today, I've never felt more nervous or aprehensive. I have the "buyers remorse" at the moment, but I'm sure it will fade. Any donations to help will be welcome :D

I was speaking to a friend a few weeks ago, and I mentioned my fondness for the John Thaw Inspector Morse detective series. He, a very working class Birmingham lad, mentioned his dislike for the show as he felt it was too middle class. My feeling is, what's wrong with this? Television shows should be geared towards all groups. Morse's foil on the show was the very working class family man, the character the audience was supposed to relate to the most. We were meant to laugh as he rolled his eyes at more of Morse's literay quotes. Even when Lewis got his own spin off show, he was paired with a high brow intellectual who got on his tits. My Brummie friend is also a fan of the show EastEnders, which claims to be a accurate potrayal of working class life in the East end. Yet where are the working classes in the show? The show deals with pub owners, car salesmen, cafe owners, market stall owners etc. all middle class professions. There is a time and a place for all kinda of shows I feel.
