Tradition dictates that we give up stuff today. It’s a good fucking idea, too. Breaking habits is hard, but if you know lots of other people are doing it at the same time, it makes it easier to go the distance. I’m giving up facebook and rewarding myself   with £5 for every day I do without. I’m pretty sure that’s not what Jesus had in mind, but who’s he to judge?

What would you benefit form giving up? We can share tales about how our resolves are more determined than Jason Bourne, and how mightily we’re doing. Or we could just fall into deep pissed-offedness and use this site as an outlet for rage. Either way, you’re amongst friends. Let’s give it a go.

Today is Mardi Gras when we eat up all the scraps of food in big pancakes so we don’t waste good food whilst we’re fasting for the next 40 days to prepare for the coming of the Easter Bunny and his chocolate gifts. Which is a great excuse to go and investigate the amount of food your local supermarket throws away.

Wait for an hour or so after they’ve shut, then head out around the back and find the bins. Be sure to take some strong bags with you to make it easier to carry it all home: if you strike at all, you’ll probably strike it rich.

It’s illegal, of course, but the legal advisory team I just imagined says “fuck that, M’lud, being immoral is clearly worse than being illegal” and goes on to make a rousing speech about how you should be lauded as a hero for undoing these heinous crimes against reason.

Awesome lightness. Awesome understanding. Awesome respect from all.

Just because it’s work doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. It’s still using the energy your children are going to really, really want. Please don’t fucking waste it.

It’s probably not the sort of opportunity you’re going to get twice, so you might as well hammer it home. And if you work for him, be a love and please do your best not to let him destroy everything we value, would you?

The slower you go, the less likely you are to make mistakes, and the more likely you are to appreciate your existence. Life is too fucking short and to fast to miss out on all the little things that make it so fucking beautiful and fucking great to be alive.

If a healthy school meal service, linked to good food education, reduced the incidence of Type 2 diabetes by just 1% then it would more than pay for itself in savings on diabetes costs alone. (Source: Soil Association)

Then.. (a) let’s fucking fix this asap, so we can quickly move on to (b) who the fuck thought it was a good idea to feed our children over-processed fodder? and (c) if we can lynch that person? Because we’ve let these sociopathic fucks get away with it for too long in the name of saving a few pennies. Fuck them and fuck their values.

…. and breathe… but… oh the intense fucking rage felt by a reasonable person in an unreasoning world.

Evidently it’s the only way to do it.
