Rant Number 1

Firstly, to get it out of the way, in my first blog I said that I would try to do one every day. In theory I was but when it actually came down to try and write a blog every day, it was pretty hard. Trying to write about something every day doesnt sound hard but when you go to write, you cant think of anything of value to say. So there is no point in saying it really. Therefore I've decided that I will write when something pops to mind. Now, today something has popped to mind and its going to be a rant and the many wrongs in life that we live. It is likely that I am going to have a lot of these as a lot of things do get me a bit annoyed and fussed about so that's why this is called number one.

Well its about buses. Everybody moans about buses. "My bus is late! I'm going to be late!", "I hate people on the bus with loud kids or loud music". Shut up, we dont all have to sit in silence. Sorry, back to my rant. The past few weeks I have been getting buses to and from places and it has come to my attention that they never run on schedule. You rush to get to a designated time that the bus is going to be there and it doesnt show up for half an hour! Especially the one that I get from my university to my house. It is never on time and it doesnt run often enough to think, 'oh dont worry I just catch the next one'. What is the point on having a schedule if you are not going to stick to it? I understand there is traffic on the roads, but to be half an hour late not in a rush hour time is ridiculous. I was trying to be home one night because I had some devastating news about my nan and I just didnt know if I was going to get back in time. Also in which my second part of my rant is on about if you carry on reading. But before that another thing I would like to point out is the prices! That's ridiculous too. It costs me £7.20 for a single from my university to my town which is about 19 miles. I got a bus to Stevenage from my university which is 13 miles and it was £1.20. I mean a 6 mile difference shouldnt be a £6 difference. If they can do it that cheap for 13 miles then why is it so expensive for 50% more of a journey? Greedy bus companies.

For the second part of my rant is doctors, now I know they do a great job for everyone but this time they have seemed to have really cocked up big time. My nan had a fall in her home and was taken to hospital, the next day, we were told that she wasnt going to live for much longer due to a bleeding in the brain. She had a scan on her brain and was sent off to a different hospital. It came back that there was no bleeding in the brain and she is likely to be fine although there is another scan likely to take place. Now I think that is disgusting, I was devastated, my whole family was, and the amount of stress that was caused for an unnecessary statement was massive. I missed a whole week of university lectures because of this and lucky enough I'm not behind but I could have been, my mum lost wages at work because she took the time off to see her. My uncle travelled all the way down from Leeds just to see her and my cousin from Margate came up too. Now she seems to be a lot better. She has even been given a estimated discharge date. It just isnt right, they have to get things like that absolutely correct to make statements like that. Although I am happy in a sense that they cocked up. It means I have more time with my nan.

Anyway, thats it for the rant. I had a thought the other day that I might start to theme my blogs and have certain days where there is a theme or certain times of the month where the blog has a theme. For example, theLADbible has cleavage Thursdays where they put up pictures of cleavages each Thursday. Just to keep the reader's entertained. If any of you have any ideas for a theme day then feel free to comment and let me know. Although I do not want a cleavage Thursday type theme. Something better.
