I should be writing about the appalling John Terry Witch-hunt. That situation has been blown out of all proportions with far too many commentators having far too much to say. As usual in our modernised British Justice system, the condemnation will inevitably mean that the accused cannot receive a fair trial. I should be writing about ‘innocent until proven guilty’ as I too have faced more than one witch-hunt during my life. The second of which led directly to my second nervous breakdown. It would have been an enjoyable discourse or is that monologue? About the rights and wrongs of a society that allows its media to dictate the themes, and a media that seems to allow far too many to have a say rather than wait for the justice mechanism to revolve. Yes, it would have been a good-un; but instead I am writing about SKY News.
The folks at SKY News were right of course. As they predicated and as I mentioned earlier this week; it was -8 degree in Aberystwyth this morning. Ok, so it was the 0715 car pre-warm prior to swimming. But nevertheless it was also -8 degrees. In fact it was so cold that when I arrived at the pool, I noticed that my flip-flops were frozen along with my shower gel. Worse still I spotted that my swimming goggles were missing. They had obviously been left behind yesterday morning or had fallen out of my bag. Whatever the cause for their disappearance, we now know after asking two attendants and at the counter; that some tea-leaf has them in their possession. Quite sad really as Bloggers will recall that there was a period last year when I found three items on separate occasions and handed them in. These included an iPod, and a pair of swimming goggles. All of which were waiting to be reclaimed by what I suspect were their grateful owners.
You see folks; theft is theft whichever way you dress it up. Minor theft is still theft, and ‘finders keepers – losers weepers’ is also theft. If you are reading this Blog and you have found my goggles, then please do the right thing and hand them in. Please don’t blame your partner to maintain what I suspect is your unblemished record. Please don’t blame the newspapers for not writing about your alleged crime. No. Just do the right thing and hand them in. Just say that you meant to hand them in, and there was no one at the counter. There won’t be a witch-hunt, unless your name is Terry. The decision not to needlessly hunt you down and make you mentally ill, is mainly taken because at -8 degrees in Aberystwyth, it is simply too blinking cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
