My regular readers will be aware that it has been some time - nearly a year - since I last posted. The truth is that I have become fed up to the back teeth with the Internet, tweeting, blogging, and the whole damn shooting-match.
But - like the proverbial 'Renegade Master' - I am back, this time to rail against the increasingly infuriating use of such annoying phrases such as "I'm good" and "good good" in response to an enquiry about a poltroon's well-being. Worse still, I would claim, is the absurdly pompous and self-important "hope that helps", after the utterer having rendered a minor piece of information, or even - ye Gods - held the door open for another.
But, arguably, there is a worse offender in the odious phrase "It's all good"...what on earth possesses these middle-management jackanapes to deploy the argot of US teens is beyond me. However "it's all good" is perhaps slightly less intolerable than the ghastly "going forward". What does this mean? It is sheer poltroonery!

Legal action against TfL?
Can't some of us get together and sue these TfL chancers? This morning I left for work a little earlier as I have some things to be getting on with - silly me, I hadn't realised that these TfL poltroons are unable to cope with some light rain (ditto snow, leaves, the list goes on). Arrived at work furious, half an hour... late.
We are paying through the nose. These nincompoops steal our time as we sit in their overheated cattle wagons, and charge us royally for the privilege.
Surely there must be some lawyers who, having being delayed for an important case, would be willing to put together a 'class action' case on the basis that being late for work can deprive commuters of income, and should be reimbursed accordingly? Let's hit these amateur-hour buffoons where it hurts - in the bank balance!

Woe unto the Nations!
Woe to the miserable sinners of the city of London! A Judgement upon all those who heed not the call, but listen to Rihanna on their iPods! Lament, all ye who - failing to take note of the final warnings - did not make straight their paths but merely read a free newspaper on their comute home!
O Wicked City!
O Wicked City!
If Cameron genuinely believed in his absurd 'Big Society' he would be tackling the increasing G-dlessness and disorder in our 'community' by encouraging itinerant preachers of all descriptions and denominations to spread the message of their respective religions in the streets. Some could be on foot, some could preach from a small open-topped vehicle such as a Fiat 500 with sunroof.
If the 'Brokeback Coalition' really wanted to make a start in fixing our broken nation, they would be implementing the above by means of small grants or tax incentives for preachers.

What is the point of a Broadband 'service provider' (name omitted to protect the guilty fools!) suggesting I check online for help and assistance on how to troubleshoot my internet connection problems *when I am unable to connect to the Internet in the first place* - my reason for seeking assistance?
I hold no brief for crazed spree killers of any description, who should rightfully be condemned, but sometimes I wonder that I have not yet run amok in the streets with heavy weaponry.

"free2rhyme"
In a recent attempt to register a new Yahoo email account, I was enraged and saddened in equal measure to see that their example of a 'typical' email address is free2rhyme@yahoo.co.uk
https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=uk&.src=ym&.done=http://uk.mail.yahoo.com&rl=1
It is simply nauseating to think that these Yahoo 'creatives' assume that anyone registering for one of their tawdry accounts is a by default ome kind of teenage know-nothing Eminem wannabee ( iam assuming that "rhyme" in this case does not refer to the nursery variety, but to the debased US argot known as 'rapping').
And what does "free 2 rhyme" mean anyway? Is it a declaration of defiance, that is to say that they will not permit anyone to get in their way of their human right to "rhyme"...
Ye Gods! can this really be the same nation that once gave Shakespearean prose and poetry to the world?
