for the want of a glass of water…

I’m sorry- but this post is going to be a bit of a rant.

Firstly, in a lecture on anatomy and physiology, is it really necessary for the lecturer to talk about her personal life? I swear to god I’ve heard her entire life/medical story today- and to honest…give a shit?

Secondly, when the hell did bottled water get so fucking expensive? I’ve had a proper mission to get water today and its just annoying. I was gasping- so at college I went over the counter and asked for a bottle and they said they didn’t have any, so I asked for a cup of tap water. They refused that’s right, refused to let me have any. They wanted me to go to the drinking fountain instead. That’s fine, but I can’t take the fountain into my lecture with no matter how much I would love to do that. I asked them for a cup, please. They tried to charge me 10p for a paper cup? What the fuck? Then later at the Big London Station I decided to buy a bottle as by now I was gasping having only had a small suck (cheeky!) out of the fountain all day. The kiosk informed me they only had large bottle (75cl) and that they were:

£1.85

Holy mother of jesus! That’s just criminal, and I don’t even have £1.85. I only had £1.63- and again, they refused to give me tap water- which can’t be allowed surely?

Anyway, I remained pissed off about this all day until I arrived at the place I donate blood (in the evening) where thankfully, the fluids were free flowing (and free). You’ll all be pleased to know, that I donated my blood in a record 7 minutes and 17 seconds. Usually mine takes up to 15 minutes- so a victory If I do say so myself.

I thank you.
