As a bit of additional background to the story on the YouTube ban<\/a> I posted on 2 January, I was reminded of a skiing holiday I went on in France some years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to remember that mothers who have just had a kid are not a full shilling. Indeed, some of them remain a few pennies short for much of the rest of their lives. And these days, thanks to successive governments trying to warp nature, a lot of men appear to be more likely to opt for a frontal lobotomy before they start thinking about vasectomies once they get their first kid – in this way they can behave irrationally and inconsiderately in front of everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At work this doesn’t usually amount to anything other than minor irritations. I suppose the worst is the preamble to the start of any meeting – all the mummies and daddies exchanging details of their sprogs’ latest antics. Then, after a few years, you start getting the ‘paintings’ – swashes of colour stuck up on filing cabinets (“Jake – 3\u00bd”) – followed by the coloured egg-boxes and other constructions. Or the framed photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a million times worse than this is the combined result of the genetic (women) and deliberate (new-age men)  stupidifying<\/em> – I made that word up – when out in public. It doesn’t matter how old someone’s kids are, they allow them to get away with murder – and the parents  are oblivious to the effect it has on everyone else around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But anyway, back to that skiing holiday. A bunch of us were in a plush restaurant and we’d just started eating our main course. At the table next to us there was a family with a kid in a high chair (I remember they were eating a raclette<\/em>). All of a sudden there was the most God-awful smell – you knew immediately what it was the smell of, and I nearly vomited there and then. I said to my friends “I think that baby has crapped itself”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had. They went and changed it, but the smell hung around for the rest of the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should anyone have to put up with that? Changing a nappy is a lot more involved than cleaning yourself after you’ve<\/em> been to the loo, so there’s no telling how well people clean themselves after they’ve changed junior. And because of the stupidifying <\/em>they have undergone, being covered in baby poo is not seen as a problem to most parents…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You just have to hope the restaurant doesn’t use those open salt cellars, or hand the same bread basket around…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, and don’t even think about the salad bar at Pizza Hut…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
