Recreational Whinge:  Today’s recreational whinge is one I’m quite confident most of you will agree with.  Those dirty, rotten, unethical, JERKS who send out their insidious little spam-bots to wreak havoc on email systems, websites, etc.  (Although I’m not writing the swearing language I’m using verbally at the moment…just imagine the words I’m really thinking/feeling here!)

Recreational Whinge:  There was a news report released today about the winners of a “Gobbledegook” competition – or in other words, the top stupid and incoherent things some famous people have said.

My all time favourite is from George W Bush, “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” 

Recreational Whinge:  I understand we’re in the middle of a “global financial crisis” but I have a gripe about how stingy hotels seem to be these days.

I travel quite a bit with my career and I love staying in hotels, particularly because most hotel rooms have bathtubs and taking a bubble bath is such a luxury for me!  However, it goes wrong when there seems to be a conspiracy against providing enough little coffee and sugar packets in the room.
