<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was in Keighley Dunelm this morning and I heard the guy on the checkouts say, \u2018yay all the gang are here\u2019. The checkout staff are always lovely in there and yes sometimes they have the full black clothes and hijab on. Today all three girls did and the guy suddenly says, \u2018it feels like we are in Pakistan\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young girl serving me suddenly cringed and went a bit quiet and so I blathered on about why I\u2019d bought 6 reduced price laptop cases to hold my art supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guy is Pakistani obviously. He’s also gay. I\u2019m just leaving this there\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This poor young man that has vanished in Tenerife I hope he\u2019s found safe very soon. Couple of things though: don\u2019t do drugs people it fucks your head, eats your money and gets you involved with the wrong people.There are tons of theories hitting social media right now and I will say that many sound plausible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BUT…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somewhere in the mid 90\u2019s did we stop teaching English language in our schools? Basics like full stops at the end of a sentence. The difference between have, off and of? Been and being? I won\u2019t bother with there and their and they\u2019re because that became too complicated and went out of the window ten years ago. ‘Unalived’ ‘He could of went’ ‘let’s prey for him’. It gives me a headache just trying to read the posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, I walked past this little boy today on the way home. He was probably either side of about 12 . There was this sound coming off some machine attached to him. No headphones. He wanted us all to hear it. I don\u2019t even need to say what type of \u2018music\u2019 it was. I was embarrassed for him though. Walking down a main road with his baggy grey joggers and attitude and mini beat box I wanted to slap him round the back of his head and tell him to stop looking like a dick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I thought no learn the hard way sunshine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
