Opinions on Life: 01/01/2011 - 02/01/2011
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 January 2011. Not a welcome shoe accessory. Once, someone offered me some chewing gum. I didn’t particularly want some, so I casually replied ‘No, I don’t do gum’, making it sound like an illegal drug in the process. Even though chewing gum isn’t actually a Class A drug, I still despise it as if it was one. You’re at the beginning of a long gastronomical journey involving eating a bicycle. That’s disgusting. Chewing gum is okay to start with. You begin with a neat, clean white slab with a ...

Monday, 28 February 2011. A befuddled bundle of bedlam. I suppose if hair is that annoying to me, I could just go bald. That probably wouldn’t be a good idea, I wouldn’t want to walk around looking like a boiled egg with a face scribbled on with a Sharpie. And that's not a good look. Posted by Alistair Rice. Saturday, 26 February 2011. Sinking into the Intellectual Quicksand. Quiz shows: The Weakest Link in the TV listings. Quiz shows like The Weakest Link. Posted by Alistair Rice. The Joys of Gymnastics.

Opinions on Life: The Dilemmas of Doors
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/03/dilemmas-of-doors.html
Monday, 21 March 2011. The Dilemmas of Doors. Knock knock. Who's there? Doors We experience them every day, almost continuously as we navigate ourselves round this chaotic world. In truth, passing through a door is not particularly exciting, but certain door occurrences are noteworthy. Nothing in this world is simple, not even the supposed simplicity of passing through a door. And doors aren’t all bad, despite their minor annoyances. Without them, the world would never have had knock knock ...Http:/ seri...

Opinions on Life: Key Kerfuffle
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/03/key-kerfuffle.html
Thursday, 3 March 2011. The aggravating slabs of metal. The only piece of evidence against my theory is that sometimes, I can be a bit haphazard with where I place my keys, possibly leading to me just forgetting their location. But that’s only a minor detail. Posted by Alistair Rice. 3 March 2011 at 22:29. You think its time we entrap these pixies? I would very much like to have the CSI experts look into this eternal mystery. You read my mind with this post. 11 March 2011 at 19:57. Thanks for visiting my...

Opinions on Life: Life is Like a Box of Celebrations
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/02/life-is-like-box-of-celebrations.html
Thursday, 17 February 2011. Life is Like a Box of Celebrations. The perfect metaphor for life, sort of. According to the mother of the fictional Forrest Gump, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re gonna get.’. I guess that the sheer brilliance of some chocolates such as Galaxy, Milky Way and Mars must be cancelled out by the repulsiveness of nuts within the cocoa mixture, to avoid the box exploding due to excess deliciousness pressure. My personal view is that Bounties and Snicke...

Opinions on Life: Red Light Fight
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/02/red-light-fight.html
Tuesday, 1 February 2011. The colour of anger. It’s Monday morning and you’ve just left the house, ready for a day’s hard work. You get into the car and off you go. You’re driving along and you see a set of traffic lights in the distance. But no action needs to be taken, as they are shining green. The colour that symbolises happiness on the road. As you approach the lights, you see that they’re part of a pelican crossing, but there isn’t a pedestrian in sight. And the pedestrian will then get to Sod̵...

Opinions on Life: Coffee - not my cup of tea
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/02/coffee-not-my-cup-of-tea.html
Tuesday, 8 February 2011. Coffee - not my cup of tea. The deadly starter motor. Imagine a world without tea or coffee. It would grind to a halt. The morning zombie within us would roam free, it would never be destroyed by the magical elixir within hot beverages. Everyone would be wandering around like psychologically depressed gorillas, even more bad-tempered and grouchy than a teenager experiencing puberty. But not me. Coffee seems to be at the top of the beverages hierarchy, enjoying its place at the p...

Opinions on Life: Warped Alternative Reality
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/02/warped-alternate-reality.html
Sunday, 20 February 2011. Reality TV - this way. What do you do when you’re bored of viewing and experiencing reality in full panoramic vision? You watch it on a small screen instead, in the form of reality TV. It may be called reality TV, but it presents something so far away from reality, it might as well broadcast a live video link of purple dogs skipping about on the surface of Mars for the depiction of reality it actually give us. If we really wanted reality TV, surely they could just show the traff...

Opinions on Life: The Terror of Trains
http://aliriceopinions.blogspot.com/2011/03/terror-of-trains.html
Thursday, 10 March 2011. The Terror of Trains. The wretched metal structure/The magical golden carpet. Of course, there are many more aspects of train travel that infuriate me so much I’d like to rip out the eyeballs of the next commuter who says they enjoy train travel, but I can’t remember what I was going to write about them. You could say I’ve lost my train of thought. Posted by Alistair Rice. And the verdict is. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Like me on Facebook! The Dilemmas of Doors. The perf...
