The Mumblings of an Observer

Jurgen Schrempp is currently the boss of DaimlerChrysler Corporation. He is a ruthless, chain smoking industrialist. As a known philanderer, he probably fathered an illegitimate son while heading up Mercedes-Benz' glorious sanctions busting South African operation in the early 1980's.

Nothing to do? How about washing my floors, coolie!

Gilganixon has posted some rather splendid pro Adelaide material on his blog.

Like him I adore the place, and like him I also hear that Adelaide is "Boring" and that there's nothing to do.

What, other than honest work, education and socialising with intelligent people? The "Nothing" that is referred to is a lack of venues with pounding music and flashing lights. Trust me, you don't want flashing lights - they'll aggravate your ADD.

Our culture has generated humans who do not take personal responsibility for their own happiness.

Slothful little arseholes do graffiti and taunt police in their VL Commodores because they've been given "Nothing to do". What about school, numb nuts? Your community will stay disadvantaged if you don't go to school and get a bloody job.

I don't have a problem with boredom. Last night when I had nothing to do, some jokers from the CFS got their fire trucks bogged and we had to come pull them out. Fun for all, and pulling a fire truck out of a mud pile with a hand operated winch will make a man out of anybody it doesn't kill.

If I didn't get that call out I would have studied a chapter of Mandarin, which I will do shortly after completing this.

If you're bored, do something. If you're smart, don't hang around idiots. If you're an idiot, you'll probably end up where you belong.

    Shit, if you're considering starting on conversational Mandarin you're five steps ahead of the rest of us idiots. At the moment most of us seem to be unaware that the bet has started, myself included. Of course it has, but that's disorganisation for you.
