what a funny expression that is, but it does suit how I feel lately tbh.
Now as you'll all know from reading my random jibbajabba I do indeed love my B2 very much he is a wonderful, kind, smart just a lovely man but jeesus wept his bloody family have poisoned his mind and bring out the racist in him!!
Ok so his dad worked in saudi for like 13 years and eversince living htere he hates muslims (i dont think thats too strong a word for it) he really doesn't like them or what they do.
Thats the background for you, so B2 being raised by this man obviously had some of the beliefs rub off on him and every sodding time he gets off the phone from his family (who i have to say in all other respects are decent, smart, caring people) he has some "horrendous horror story of what muslims are doing!!" i swear its like they are obsessed and all they do is bitch about muslims. I admit this a bit shamedly but before 9/11 i only had a vague idea of what a muslim was and tended to get them confused with the cloth you hang cheese in, I was raised in a rural village where the local religious issues tended to be whether to hide behind the couch when jehovahs witnesses came a knocking or tell them to bugger off.
Anyway I just needed to vent here but i really am sooo sick of the mania that seems to grip so many normally rational people in to becoming these these...ergh whats the word??
Anyway, I have no one else that I can bitch to about this so you'll have to do, I am so sick of saying (until i am blue in the face and have arse ache) that its not all of them, its not even most of them and that we also had two christian sects bombing eachother in ireland in the 80s and now theyre kicking off again, blah blah blah anyway i blew my top yesterday and hopefully made my beloved realise i dont agree and am not gonna... anyway i dread going to his parents house (and have managed to avoid it since november lol) because they all sit round tea and cake in their nice middle class lounge and instead of talking about nice things and interesting things become a bunch or boring repettitave racists!
*deeeep breaths*
ok aaand im spent.
