WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT AN ASBO?
In our world of late there have been distractions too numerous to catalogue: even if I could remember what they were.
So I thought it must be time to indulge in a Blogger's Tirade again.
Well, if you can't beat 'em..
Away we go with a recent item on a bad news day..
ASBOs.
Though I tend, like a High Court Judge when normal sex is mentioned, to need the advice of Learned Counsel on what it is all about, I gather that ASBO stands for Anti Social Behaviour Order.
Appears it is a sort of punishment dished out to recalcitrant yobs.
And it has now become a badge of honour among them.
Something to boast about.
Why?
Many people have to be automatic candidates for ASBOs.
Politicians: estate agents: lawyers?
Surely to boast of being issued with one is totally moronic.
But try telling that to the morons who do the boasting.
RIGHT ROYLE ENDING.
"Warning: Contains Spoilers!"
For box watchers there was a one-off final episode (allegedly) of The Royle Family.
All the regulars were back.
The script was as good as ever.
The acting was as good as ever.
They were all of them better than anything they were watching on tele.
When weren't they?
Then Gran (dear old Liz Smith) popped her clogs.
There was not a dry eye in the house.
AND A RIGHT ROWLING SEND OFF.
As a denouement there was a programme about the programme and everyone talked about how wonderful it was to be in it, to make it, to watch it.
(You know, like they do in all those cheerful docu-advert things.)
They even had my own favourite, the elusive J.K. Rowling, to talk about it.
I watched and all the time wondered.
Will J,K.s last Harry Potter story come out on 07.07.07?
That is the educated guess of many Potter fans.
Can't come soon enough for me.
Just keep writing, J.K.!
Keep writing!
