I know two posts with lyrics on them. It’s an after effect of the Cure concert last night.

The headline on the news today is that UK employees are working for free!

Basically everyone’s putting in more time to show their bosses that they shouldn’t be made redundant if the company is cost-cutting.

Gawd.

UK’s already got the longest working hours and the least Bank Holiday in Europe. I don’t really know whether today’s news makes any difference in that respect.

Most of the staff in our company are working like dogs. We’re not forced (in my opinion), we’re all just driving for the same goal: hit the Live date with flying colours. It’s been the case (the professionalism and staff dedication) since I joined the company, and to be honest I’ve never enjoyed work this much since my first employment.

We could be an exception. And probably in other industries they are working like their lives depended on it.

There are ugly things happening all over the country because of the recession.

The racists are having a field day, pointing out the jobs held by non-British (i.e. non-white) people. News of strikes are almost daily/weekly recently and people (I’ve not seen non-whites in clips or pictures) have banners and flags fostering British Jobs for the British. The BNP’s probably reaping members like Death himself.

These are like scenes out of the film “Child of Men” depicting a futuristic UK, where immigrants are treated like vermins. The “fear” is here.

Now Brown’s infamous words are haunting him. New Labour doesn’t want to be seen as racists or snobs, do they? That’s the Conservative Party’s role.

I hope the resentment stops here. With desperation, things can get ugly.

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Three weeks ago pogiBoy very kindly said to me “put my hair up and make it spiky, please?”
He pulled some of his hair and started patting them to form a line in the middle of his head.

He wanted a mohawk.

I’m not exactly sure where he got this idea. Could be from the MTVs, or the punks and goths walking around London. Or maybe from a photo of him when he was 1-year and I played with his inspired by Maddox’ hairstyle.

I promised we’ll do it on the weekend but we both forgot.

But yesterday hubby said when pogiBoy saw his new haircut, he told his Dad to remind me about his spiky hair.

Well, I want to but we both have very fine hair so I consulted the net how to get this done.

I googled “how to do mohawk” thinking it will return something related to those terms, but actually the top 10 results have pages and videos for exactly what I searched for!

This one is the best. In one of the steps it advises you to “Visualize your Mohawk“. Wow.

I hope my attempt will be to pogiBoy’s taste.
