I feel like a rant at British life 
This is my interpretation of an average day for a British man:
7am: Alarm goes off, roll over and sneer and ugly girlfriend/wife, jump in shower and wash yourself as the impending stress begins to build
7:30am: Go to have breakfast but the last of the milk was fed to the cat the night before!
7:45am: Leave for work hungry. Car sounds rattly – you know it’s going to cost you!
8:00am: You get cut up several times in a traffic jam
8:01am: Someone gives you verbal abuse
8:02am: You get cut up again
8:30am: You arrive at work and have been awake for 1.5 hours with NOTHING in life to smile about so far!
8:45am: You have the same old conversation with the same old people, ‘what did you do last night’, ‘did you watch such and such’, ‘Isn’t Robbie Williams just the best!’
9:00am: People email and phone you and give you nothing but hassle
10:00am: You finally find time for a packet of crisps complete with god-knows-what additives and a coffee as you were beginning to ‘come down’
11:00am: You get more stressed, the boss wants the impossible and you feel sick. Meanwhile, bill the next-door neighbour is *****-deep in your bird/wife
12:00noon: You are told cuts will have to be made soon in the company – deep down you know what this means
12:30pm: You go for lunch and wait 15 minutes just to buy a sanny and bottle of coke in the express lane at the supermarket
12:45pm: You get to near the front of the queue to be told the lane is closing and you have to switch
13:00pm: You finally get your lunch and eat it, artificial this and artificial that included – you feel your body being poisoned!
13:10pm: You go to a cash machine and stoop down to use it as it was designed to be comfortable for a pregnant disabled women (about 0.5% of the population)
13:14
m: After 4 minutes of being asked if you want a statement, an onscreen balance display and holiday insurance the machine finally tells it has no money left
13:16pm: Work resumes but you are 1 minute late and have to fill out 3 forms that explain why. These forms then go through 5 other people who all fill out their own forms
13:40pm: You finally finish the forms and resume your work.
14:00pm: You are handed work that is clearly someone else job – suddenly YOU are expected to do it.
15:00pm: You get hassled from the boss because you have not managed to do your own work.
15:30pm: Your computer crashes and you loose an entire report.
15:31pm: Call logged with I.T.
16:15pm: IT finally comes round.
16:45pm: Computer works again but things have changed on it and you’ve lost more saved data – most of it was important!
17:00pm: You are ready to go home but someone dumps more work on your desk that NEEDS to be done tonight
18:30pm: You finally leave to go home having given an hour and a half to the company for free.
18:35pm: You hit a traffic jam and people FORCE their way in front of you
18:45pm: Still in a traffic jam – crap music on the radio
19:15pm: You get home, dinner is in the dog. Your wife/girlfriend is at aerobics (actually screwing the instructor)
19:20pm: You eat a microwave meal, with added sugar, added salt, added sweeteners, added colourings, artificial ingredients and likely human contaminants. Washed down with coke/acid!
19:30pm: You flick through the TV stations: Pop Idol, Big Brother, Celebrity Games, News about: war, disease, famine, rape, murder, child molesters, car jacking’s, gang crime and how studies show being gay is good for you immune system, etc
20:00pm: Having watched 30 mins of the best of British TV you decide to go to the gym.
20:10pm: Arrive at the gym and park in quiet and empty part of car park
20:30pm: You look around and all you see is toned bodies, muscles and slick hairdo’s, you feel crap about yourself
20:45pm: You are asked to spot for someone benching 200kg – he fails a lift and you rip a muscle trying to pull the bar off his chest!
20:50pm: You shower/change minding your own business and become aware of two cockwatchers – you feel uneasy
21:00pm: You get out to the car to find an MPV on one side and 2 tonnes of 4x4 on the other – you have a new door ding
21:30pm: Petty argument with the wife – she storms off to bed.
22:00pm: You surf the net: Go to hotmail – 10 porno emails, 15 other junk emails, 1 personal email and it’s just a ‘one-liner’ Go to forum to find someone ripping into you because they didn’t agree with what you said. Put in a search for ‘second-hand car prices information’ and get 3253 hits of which the first 23 are ‘granny ****’
22:15pm: Follow a link to a site you want to view - 5 pop-ups and the computer crashes.
22:30pm: Take the dog for a walk in the local park
22:40pm: Started on by a group of 10 neds.
22:45pm: Step in dog turd in the middle of a children’s playground – you religiously scoop your dog’s crap why can’t others?
23:00pm: You get home, you can hear Dave next door laying into his wife…..again!
23:15pm: Last minute channel surf – usual crap
23:30pm: Go to bed, wife/girlfriend grunts and turns away
23:50pm: Finally drift off to sleep
1:00am: Woken by loud zorst and dump valve sounding off
2:00am: Finally get back to sleep
7:00am: Alarm goes off – It all begins AGAIN!!
Is this it? Is this what British life is all about? Whether you believe we evolved from apes, where an alien experiment or were created by God does anyone feel that this is the sort of existence we should/were supposed to have? What is the way out?
P.S. Saxo is a little p*ssed off today

Then of course some people *are* "bill the next-door neighbour"
Good for you Old Fart, I really hope one day my life goes something like that
By the way, I should point out that the first post is not a 'day in my life' but some of it does draw from my own experiences I must admit.

Better than my normal routine...
7am - wake up, assume the giving birth position, and begin to break wind.
7:45am - now finally deflated, evacuate the bedroom at high speed, after sensing the last of the guffs was getting a little moist.
7:45:01am - just make it on to the pan, before last night's curry and beer explodes out of you like a flock of seagulls taking off.
7:50am - try to hold breath while showering in the same room that you've just created the world's most toxic smell in.
7:51am - manage to get shower gel in both eyes at the same time, stumble blindly from the bath / shower, in a hopeless search for a towel.
8:01am - discover you've just dried yourself on your bedroom curtains, and are standing naked in full view of Mrs Miggins next door, who is hanging out her massive mauve pants on the washing line.
8:05am - now dressed, you've still only got partial vision back, and gag when you realise you've just started to wash your teeth with Anusol.
8:15am - realising you're late for work now, you abandon breakfast, and head to the car.
8:16am - return to the house because you've forgotten your mobile.
8:17am - return to your house because you've forgotten the facia for the car stereo.
8:25am - parked on hard shoulder, car still running, fans on full blast, windows open. It's clear that last night's curry still has some potency left.
8:45am - roads look unnaturally clear - you're going to be on time.
8:46am - encounter a 15 mile jam on the motorway, having just driven past the last exit, with the oh-so-helpful motorway message sign showing nothing.
9:15am - arrive at work... to find that it's a Bank Holiday.
7am - wake up, assume the giving birth position, and begin to break wind.

On the other hand my day used to be:
04.00: Wake up. My turn on watch, in an attic on the Donegal Road in Belfast with three other guys/girls. Get out of sleeping bag and sit by camera, p1ss in plastic bottle. receive log.
04.15: Eat some packet cereal with powdered milk and biscuits.
05.00: **** in plastic bag.
05.30: Drink some stale water.
06.00: For the next 4 hours watch house across the road and photograph and log all activity, while eating digestives and drinking stale water.
12.00: Relieved.
12.30: Having handed over log, eat some raisins and chocolate and dextrosols. Drink very stale water, p1ss in plastic bottle. Bag up rubbish.
13.00: Read book.
14.15: Everyone ***** themselves at movement down stairs and raised voices. Lie dead still with Browning 9mm at th e ready for an hour and a half.
15.45: Try and sleep after sh1tting in plastic bag.
18.00: On STAG while someone else does watch.
20.00: Eat same old crap , drink same old water. Bag up rubbish.
22.00: Relieved, drink water, very very stale by now. Sleep.
04.00: Start again.
Reapeat for another 3 days then take all your bottles and bags with you and have 4 days doing other stupid stuff. Repeat the 8 day cycle in various attics, sheds, holes in fields and hedgerows for 6-9 months every year for 12 years with holidays doing the same in Bosnia, Gulf, Germany, and training people how to do it in the UK.
So life now is gravy, all gravy as they say.
