Sometimes cultural references just pass me by, and if anyone mentions this might have something to do with my age I'll slap them.
 
I finally read a newspaper article that explained the background of Jon & Kate plus 8 (US based reality show about couple with twins and sextuplets). Apparently it's all gone a bit pear shaped in the marriage and the whole sorry saga is major news.
 
I guess I'm just one of the 56% of adults (according to the BBC survey) who don't want to watch reality TV shows.

Another bunch of Nixon tapes were recently released, reminding us all of the Watergate scandal.

 I can kind of picture the conversation when Tricky Dicky first arrived at the White House about how awesome it would be for his presidency to have a permanent record.

 You have to wonder why it never occurred to him a few weeks, months or years in why this was such a bad idea. I mean, he was there, making all these dumbass comments. Surely the thought must have crossed his mind that the reality didn't really match the high expectations he might once have had. Dumbass.

It seems that some supermarket salads contain more fat than a Big Mac and fries.

 I've never been one to bother much with what's the "right" thing to do, which might be why I'm heavier than ideal but to be honest I think I'm better off for the not worrying about it. On the whole I'd rather eat what I like than what someone else tells me is what's good for me, especially when what's good for me seems to change every five minutes.

 Middle aged rant over.

Saw this on the car in front of me while queuing to get on the motorway earlier today: "If you think this car is dirty try a night with the driver". Even better, the car was being driven by a rather attractive lady. If only I was 20 years younger...
