After many excuses the work is now nearly done, only a few things to go through and it should be all ready for the deadline.
I mean the week end is supposed to be two days of rest and no work at all, otherwise why would we have the two days off?
Some people think that those two days are there so they can do the jobs they did not complete during the week. One word people (or two) Time management!
I think we need to try as much as possible to make time for ourselves and the ones we love (blah blah blah).
Anyway need to finish off the task at hand, deadline and all that

An explanation
After many umming and aring (i think this is how you write it) I have decided to create a blog. I don't really know what to expect from this really.
The reason for this title stems from an incident that occured yesterday while shopping.
I am walking around the suit section at the local department store (50%!! no way i wasn't going to get one), an old gentleman, lincolnshire version of Huggy Bear (at least the trousers did), stops and admires the very nice Alexandre suits (£400 a piece...nice too).
He seems to like the suit and he is feeling its very soft material all of a sudden he shouts : "You 'd have to be an immigrant to afford that suit!"
He then glances over his shoulder to find me trying a jacket on...
My wife would say that had this incident happened a few years ago i would have been extremely annoyed and would have said (done?) something to the guy.
But yesterday I realised that i was not affected but what the guy had said. Not that i didn't think that what he said was offensive, does he know what an immigrant is? shall I highlight to him the differences between the types of immigration?
My wife thinks that he was just a very unhappy man as he didn't look like he could afford much.
I just ignored the comment and carried on trying my very nice suit. At the till my wife asked what i thought about what he'd said. I said i wasn't really bothered and we just laughed about it.
Why should it bother me anyway?
