Fringe

September 18th, 2008 by Hilden

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you fine folks that we live in a world of glorified drivel that spews from our televisions on a regularly scheduled, advertiser friendly, 30 minute rotation. As if the crap that the networks are spewing out weren’t enough to signify the end of our race, the summer season comes and reminds us of why there exists the concept of suicide. Any period of history in which a washed up David Hasselhof becomes a star, again, is simply no time to live. I get that.

I’ve been writing this column in various formats for a while now and it seemed a good time to drag it out like the old chestnut it is and give it a bit of Robot Panic polish for you all. So for those who don’t know me, haven’t got a clue what this is all about and stuff… well my name is Phil, I’m an egotistical and opinionated bastard at the best of times and this little blog is my way of venting about a) my life and b) living in this beautiful yet somehow screwed up Country.

So I guess even though it’s the middle of summer and still raining and cold in the UK I feel the time is right to talk about air conditioning, or should I say the lack-of. It’s one of those strange things I’ve come across whilst travelling to various countries over the years – every other country has it and for some reason we don’t seem to care. It strikes me as odd that a number of countries with far worse economies and cooler weather than we have seem to place an importance on this important convenience in life when we don’t. Maybe we’re just too tight. Maybe we’re just too English.
