mothers day

Mar 26, 2017

Today is Mothers Day one of the most annoying "holidays" in the UK calendar.

Fathers day is equally as stupid but niether of these compare to Pancake day and Valentines.

Every year, tens of thousands of sane and well educated peope across the UK promise themselves they will not be suckered into the world of corporate horseshit that these made up holidays represent.

If you love your mum, you will tell her... or at the very least she will know.

Same goes for dads.

Your significant other (assuming you have one) should be informed how you feel about them at random points through the year, not on the 14th of February when the prices are doubled.

I make that promise to not fall for the trap of buying presents and a piece of card with flowers on it each year, but I still end up falling for it.

Pancakes are for idiots.

Pancake day saw so many people get over excited at the thought of having, what amounts to a shit ommellette, that my face turned a disturbing shade of crimson just looking at all the social media posts.

People who like pancakes are weird.

You lovers of pancakes do know that you don't have to wait until Pancake Day to eat them don't you?

You CAN eat pancakes any day of the year....

..idiots.

We are weak people.

I am weak.

But no more.

I shall be telling each and every member of my clostest genetic bonds that I will not be wasting money on them anymore.

They get Birthdays gifts and Christmas gifts.

That should be enough for anybody.

There is no extra special day set aside for the likes of me.

I'm not a dad OR a mum.

I am not a Pancake either.

There is no "Miserable Bastard Day" for me to sit and frown at is there?

So if I can't have a holiday - I'm joining in on anyone elses.

Sod 'em.

SPAM UPDATE: I bought 2 tins and the wife not noticed... it is also obvious that she doesn't read this blog either.
