2010年2月24日 下午5点16分52秒A budding conservative politician...

I have a class mate/friend. She is a mature student (28/29) and a Conservative. She is already a councillor of a local council, studying Law to become a fulltime Conservative politician. That is, apparently her career goal. She is always busy, talks about the shadow ministers in a ways that makes one believe they are her peers, talks about big meetings and interviews, newspaper interviews etc.  She is also the president of her local Young Conservative Group and a proud member of International Republican Party and never loses a chance to claim that Obama is an Illegal President. What I meant by all that is, she is not just only a sleeping member who merely supports the party and votes for them. She is an active member and aspires to become a minister in not so far future.

Yesterday we had an hour to kill and a few of us were in the lounge together.  In the course of our chat/gossip/discussion one of our friends asked her a few questions. I am going to write down the conversation exactly the way it had been:

Friend: Hey A, do you know what is the population of UK?

Politician: Well…(takes a deep breath) it’s is 3 billion.

Friend and all of us: W…what?

Politician: What? It’s 3 billion…almost. Isn’t it?

Friend: Do you know what  is the world population at the moment?

Politician: Of course I do! It said in One Tree Hill…its 7 billion.

Friend: So…you know world population is nearly 7 billion, and you thought half of it is in this small island?

Politician: Well…that’s what it looks like.  When I look around, it looks like half of the world population is in the UK.

Friend: Okey…tell us, how much is the mean wages for a full time worker in the UK?  U know …”mean”? …..Average?

Politician: Don’t patronise me!! Of course I know what is mean.

Friend: Ok…tell us, what’s the mean salary in the UK?

Politician: I am sure, its £60,000 a year.

Friend and all of us gasped together. Some even giggled.

Friend: Do you have any contact with reality, A?

Politician: You are getting into my nerve now, M! Of course I do. I am completely and entirely in touch with reality. My constituents love me! My Stuffs love me!

Friend: Then how could you come to the conclusion that the average salary in the UK is £60,000 per year?

Politician: Well…that’s what most of the people I see gets!!I am sure  it must be something like that!

We had this conversation with her for almost 45 minutes.  That was the most entertaining conversation I had in a very long time (in a perverse way!). I don’t want to bore you with farther details. But…at the end I told her, you know what A? I am sure you are going to make a wonderful politician. You have all the quality and potential to become a great politician. Just keep up the good work!!

What do you think? J

2010年2月2日 下午11点40分00秒Its always like this!!

People I dislike (I am saying dislike because I don't like to use the word "hate") most are the people, who hold a position and do not know how to do the work. People who are visibly inconfident and incompetent but trys to show they are some big shot. These kind of people, they never see anything good in anyone, since they are insecure in their mind because of the fact deep down in their mind they know, they are incompetent. Moreover, to hide their own incompetency, they try to prove everyone around them are incompetent.

I hate most when I have to ask ...
