Right... so every morning I, like millions of others, have a routine. I won't share all of the details with you because that would just be too much information but for the last three year I have had the same routine and it sets me up for the day and helps me adjust to the idea of going to work.
So I get up, have a shower, make breakfast then before I start my hour long - get up, get washed, get dressed and no you can't use my make-up rant at my daughter I sit down with my weetabix and watch the re-runs of neighbours on the telly. I know it's sad but it's MY routine and I like it that way...
Anyway it WAS my routine until Friday when everything changed and I had a very sad start to my Friday. I sat down with my two weetabix, milk and sugar as normal and went on my wonderful Sky+ planner to watch Neighbours... IT WASN'T THERE... in a panic I flicked over to G.O.L.D to catch the end thinking that I'd forgotten to program it in and ....AAAAAHHHHH..... Neighbours wasn't on..... by now I'm panicing as Casualty is on instead and that's just not good enough! AAAAAHHHHH (again!) Neighbours is nowhere to be found.... not on today or at all next week..... but surely this can't be right! Carmela was just about to be rushed into hospital with pains (she's pregnant by Will who had an affair with Elle but she's now interested in Marco who she was having dinner with when the pains started) and Susan is just about to find out she has MS which caused her to fall asleep at the wheel of Wills car which Carl was testing driving so she thought she'd hit a kerb when actually she's hit Bridget who then ended up in a coma for a few days before coming round.....PHEW....
Anyway..... Do the producers or whoever plans the programming not understand that taking off a programme in mid flow is just cruel??? Can you imagine the backlash if they had cancelled Eastenders just before we found out who shot Phil?
I suppose because it's on at silly o'clock in the mornings they think it doesn't matter.... well it bloody well does... what am I going to watch now??? Don't they understand the trauma this has caused to my morning routine??? Do you want to know what I ended up watching this morning while eating my Weetabix?? Bloody Antiques Roadshow!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???
Anyway I've decided I'm going to write in and complain. Just like they do on Points of View... you know the letters that start Dear Sir, Why..oh why..oh why...... But just to make it more interesting I'm going to write a poem...
Here goes.....
Each morning while eating my Weetabix
I get my daily Neighbours fix
(good so far)
Er......
But unannounced to my dismay
It wasn't scheduled for today
(like it!)
I checked and checked next week as well
(Bugger what rhymes with well? Hell, tell, fell, smell...no that's no good... scrap that)
I checked the schedule for next week
Hoping today was just a freak
(not great but gets the point across)
But sadly it would appear to be
Neighbours re-runs have left my TV
(a bit clumsy but will do)
So what am I supposed to do?
(here we go again... loo, poo, foo, schmoon.... OH i know..)
Put it back or I'll sue
(NICE)
Please don't force me to write again
Put it back and save my pain....
GREAT.... LOVE IT
Anyway... so that's my rant for today. As you see I won't be ranting about politics or religion, nothing too heavy.
Tomorrow I think I'll tackle the problem of the older generation and stay at home mum's who insist on doing their entire weeks shopping right when I'm on my lunch break and just want a bloody sandwich!!
