    Take It Easy
    My dear patriotic and British readers may have seen those adverts for the new Trebor gum. For those from what the French would call "outre-mer" (overseas), Trebor are a company in the UK known for their mints, specifically their extra-strong mints. Well, now, they've branched out into chewing gum. There's a TV advert to herald this, which is mostly rubbish. My favourite part of the campaign, however, is the adverts on the side of bus shelters.

    I'm talking, primarily, of the one that says "Sorry it took so long"

    DIGRESSION ALERT: It actually says that all in capitals, but I didn't want to shout at you over the Internet, dear reader (except to signal the DIGRESSION ALERT, but... so... yeah...).

    So I have the impression that I'm supposed to feel some sort of relief that Trebor now makes a gum, it seems. That the entire nation has been on tenterhooks for many a year, waiting for this to happen. That we can now come out of our homes, hang up the bunting and dance in the streets. What a load of platypus shit.

    Today's bad mood is sponsored by work. Thanks for reading.

I'm not wishing to laugh at your pain, but the phrase "platypus shit" made me snorfle into my wine.

STUPID WORK.

I commend your inventive use of epithets, sir.

Bad mood here too, so I totally understand this post.
