OK so I'm settling down for a lazy Sunday watching Arsenal v West Ham and Pool v Stoke...
And yes I love football, I love the Premiership, but a few times recently when I've said this, the first comment I've had from people isn't concerning the football... it's concerning the money involved and the money paid to the players.
So I'm just musing on why it's such an issue when so many other people get paid utterly ridiculous amounts of money for what they do without censure.
Would you not watch a brilliant film because you object to the amount of money your favourite actor was paid to star in it?
Would you take your money out of a bank because of the fat cats lining their pockets?
Would F1 fans complain about the amount of money spent developing the cars... let alone what the drivers get paid?
Would you refuse to listen to your favourite band because the netted millions on their last tour?
Anyway you get the idea....
Its still the beautiful game, so why shouldn't they get paid every penny they can get, while they can get it, when they have to have the talent to get to that level in the first place and careers can be cut short so easily.
And yes I do understand the offside rule before anyone asks.....
So I'm packing... and thinking of all the places I've lived before.
So I counted them up and shock, horror, this is the 28th move in 26 years!
When I think about it, there was always seemed to be a good reason for moving at the time... but now I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever stop. Although I am saying that YES this is definitely the LAST time!!
I have two sisters, both a lot older than me, who have only ever lived in two homes. Their childhood home and then the one they bought with their husbands. Do I envy them? NO! The thought of being in the same place for that long terrifies me....
Am I extreme in this? Is there anyone else out there that's done the same? Should I just buy a camper van and stop trying to settle?
I'd appreciate your thoughts.....
