Blogging 'Ell

I've decided to start a blog. I like a good rant and all other the social media is very restrictive when you've got a point to get across! So this has what has brought me here. I've been thinking about starting one for a while and today have finally taken the plunge.

Before I started, I was trying to decide whether it would be a gloves off, pull no punches type of blog where I really lay into my chosen subject, or a don't mind my mum seeing sorta thing with no naughty words. I've gone with the former, if I'm going to do this I might as well do it properly. If I've got something to say and this is the platform I'm going to use to say it, then it would be half hearted to tone it down. And frankly, of no interest to anyone.

I'm not generally a grumpy person, so don't expect any sort of "I hate life" type posts or anger at the world in general. I'd say I'm very happy go lucky, but hopefully I'll raise a smile by giving my opinion on the things I enjoy and the things around me. A lack of common sense and stupidity is my biggest pet hate, I'll be looking to vent here on all occasions I come across either of these!

My original idea was to solely blog some of the ridiculous comments I hear from private school kids on the train when I'm on my way to work, for example this morning I heard a kid say "My brother went to school in Shepreth, it's so embarrassing,". I hear comments as tragic as this on a daily basis from private school kids and find myself so disillusioned with how detached they are from the real world. So expect plenty of quotes and ramblings on what private education is doing to kids as I hear more nonsense on the train each day!

Hopefully this has given you a good idea of what's to come, I'll keep this place updated so head back if you like what you see. If you don't, then rather than moan about it, don't come back!

Oh... the name. I've called the blog "Unnecessary Trouble". Some of you may recognise this as a song by Hard Fi on their Stars of CCTV album. This is my favourite album and the line "just make sure you cause trouble when it's necessary" I think is rather apt in life. That and I couldn't come up with anything witty of my own. I'm likely to quote this on occasion, so hopefully this has brought you up to speed.
