Here is the world's most dullest blog post...
Whilst deciding what to write about, I looked out of the
window to see blue skies. About ten
minutes earlier it had been pissing it down so much so that it prompted me to
tell everyone. Now don’t start thinking that
I’m a weirdo that goes around the house saying, “Ooh look, it’s raining”. No, I am much more interesting that. My conversation with my cousin went like
this, “What have you done to the weather?” She looked at me before wandering
off ignoring me. Okay so I am a weather
weirdo but we all are aren’t we? It’s a
British thing…
It may be British, but that doesn’t make it right. I find myself when the conversation stops to
comment on the weather, “It’s rather chilly isn’t it” or “I’m really not
enjoying this heat”. This never
works. I never magically re-evoke a
thrilling conversation. In fact it
normally results in people looking at me, vaguely agreeing with my comment and
then walking off, because in fact what they are thinking is, ‘Of course I don’t
like the fact that it is raining because you and I are both stood in the rain
getting absolutely soaked you twerp!’
I still do it though, all the time and it is beginning to
annoy me. I hear myself and want to
shrink into a ball as soon as the words have left my mouth. So why do I do it? Why do any of us do it? Are our conversations in Britain so dull that
they only thing we have in common is that fact that it is so cold you can see
my nipples through my shirt today.
I don’t actually have the answer but I do have a solution. From now on, I am going to wear a random hat
or bowtie or boxers on my head. I am
going to wear something that will undoubtedly provide a conversation starter
that is not weather related.
It won’t work though, we are all too British and even if I
walked around naked no one would bat an eyelid.
