People Just Don't get it!Facebook squabbles, Slimming World and Liverpoolfc

I just have to tell you about some of my experiences this week, as they have been exhausting but exhilarating all at once! Having been gently  reprimanded about my timekeeping at work I took to taking   ultra early trains ( at least by my standards), much to my chagrin! I have now declared that I hate commuters, they are so nasty and selfish! You may want to see my earlier post: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/msnikkidee titled Its official.  Along with my pet hate of commuters lies those people who tell you, that you don't have a life, and that you are stupid because you like to play games on line, on facebook in particular. Well thank you very much for the insult , but according to my mother, I am a woman of substance, indeed I believe that.. you may not, but who do you think you think you are? Some kind of superstar? ( even superstars use some form of social media I'll have you know) After all, it is you who doesn't know how to set your settings so that you don't get notifications from or invitations to games from your friends, it is your choice not to participate with those things on social platforms, that does not mean that those of us who do are stupid, or to use your words don't have a life! I find that statement in any context very insulting and offensive, so how very dare you! Ok rant over ( for now). I suppose it is normal or logical to get grief from people who do not like or have a limited understanding of social media, or generally from those who do not have respect towards other people's choices! I say the world is big and beautiful enough to accommodate all of us and our different version of life!


Now I move my attention to my continual love of slimming world.  I had a lovely lunch date this week with my lovely friends Marian and Wunmi. It was going through the menu, with me muttering, oh what am I gonna have, too many syns in that, too many syns in this and so on and so forth, that brought it all on, I mean; I was told that I am not following the plan, I am not doing this, do you eat enough speed foods? I was half way through trying to respond when I remembered that actually this is one of the great things about Slimming World compared to other diets or eating plans, is that it accommodates dates with lovely people! The lady who was going on and on, has a sister who is a slimming world consultant..but as far as I tell that is where the knowledge stopped.  She did not understand how unique Slimming world is in it's approach and that it can be adapted to suit any lifestyle. It is an exemplar in diversity! You choose your own journey and make your own destiny. I love the tag line 'because you are amazing'. It re-inforces what my my mum always told me.. I am a woman of substance... check out the plan at www.slimmingworld.com.

All I will say about my next favourite issue of the week, is that Mr Kenny Dalglish, had better realise quickly that Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson are not yet capable of being the dream team. We all know what a little wonder Luis Suarez is though. I believe we have to respect all opponents, but we also have to beat all those people our rivals are beating. I mean, why do we always seem to struggle against newly promoted teams, where the mancs don't, Arsenal don't and neither do Chelsea or spurs.  Statistics from the BBC website about our records with  Swansea are: 

• Swansea have never beaten Liverpool at Anfield in the league.
• Liverpool are unbeaten in six matches, their longest run since manager Kenny Dalglish returned.
• Liverpool have won just three of their last 11 matches against newly promoted sides
• This was the first time in 16 visits that Swansea have kept a clean sheet at Anfield

So come on boys, you know what needs to be done...
