The way they go on it is like you are back in school again with a cross teacher giving out to you.I have stayed away from the news and I do feel much better for it. It was the right choice too because earlier on I saw a small bit of a news report from Belfast about testing centres. At the end of the piece the outside broadcaster said, out of the blue, for no real reason whatsoever, and in a very dramatic and doom laden voice (he actually reminded me of Mr Burns from the Simpsons) 'COVID IS STILL HERE! IT IS HERE FOR GOOD. IT IS NOT GOING AWAY!'
Anyway I changed the channel and there was a choir of children singing Christmas carols. My spirits sarted to lift straight away and I started to feel really positive and uplifted.
You don't even realise how much of a downer and how negative and depressing/ oppressing a vibe the news shows are putting you into when you are watching them.
So I have decided to give myself an early Christmas present: no more news until the New Year, maybe never. I'm going to have a much more positive and relaxed Christmas
Golly! How could he possibly be so sure of that unless he is
1. The worlds greatest virus scientist.
2. The worlds greatest psychic.
3. God.
And here was I thinking he was just some chimp in a suit and tie who gets paid to read stuff off a teleprompter.
Judging by how pissed off that 1 minute of exposure to the news made me, I have definitley made the right choice to give it the heave ho.
