I Can't be Bothered

I note that it is more than two weeks since I last was moved to write in this blog.
The news is always depressing and nothing to get fired-up about. Not much has happened at home. In general it's a dull time.
Christmas has come and gone - presents were good, the company of my younger son also good. Offspring Senior has stayed in Birmingham in his new flat with his fiancee. It's always nice to have Christmas in your own home - and we're going to see them both tomorrow and travel on to the in-laws in Shropshire for a "second Christmas" gathering. There will be more exchanges of presents, eating, drinking and generally making merry.
There was almost one notably newsworthy item on the BBC today - a BA 747 overshot the runway at Miami International Airport. Apparently the pilot missed the turn off to the taxi-way and ran over the lights at the end of the runway. So what's so exciting about that? No damage done, no-one hurt. The difference between this and other similar incidents is that Tony Blair and family were on board. They were on their way to spend New Year in Robin Gibbs' Miami mansion.
Had there been a serious crash it would have made world news. People would have been asking questions as to why the Prime Minister was on board an ordinary scheduled BA flight instead of in a specially chartered jet - or even a designated RAF luxury plane with the name RAF One.
Unfortunately TB was not injured. He wasn't even ruffled.
Pity - he could do with someone or something giving him the shits!
