Aggravating Airwave Asses

Although I had planned to do pretty much nothing today, I still ended up being busy.  Years ago, I was often busy-busy-busy on a Saturday, and loved it.  My typical Saturday when I was in my early 20s involved a walk around the markets, a catch up with friends, and often a night at the theatre - anything: I'd see experimental avant garde one week, and a well-known chestnut the next. 

That was then; this is now, and the 'now' had me excited to hang a curtain I'd purchased off eBay.  Wooo-hooooo!  When did the culture-loving free spirit become a staid curtain-hanger?

As you're aware, I usually have my car radio set on the local AM station, but on weekends that just might have to change.  What's got me grinding my teeth is the 2GB Continuous Call Team, which is streamed on my local AM station of a weekend.  What a bunch of buffoons!  After I collected my 11yo and his friend from the cinema where they saw 'Kung Fu Panda 3', and dropped the friend home, I was subjected to what really would have to be one of the stupidest questions I'd ever heard in my life.  This question was right up there with the time someone asked: 'Is that your baby?' of my then seven-month-old son.  Yes, I know that question seems innocuous, but given I was BREAST FEEDING him at the time, it's extremely stupid its correct context. 

The lame-arse question was along these lines: some boofhead asked if an English-speaking couple adopted a child from China, and the child was six months old or so at the time, would the child grow up speaking Chinese.  No, I didn't make that up.  I do not know who was the clown that asked that, but in the event he is reading this, please stop and think: you were raised by English speaking parents, and so therefore you speak English.  At least, I THINK you were raised by English speaking parents.  I am seriously under the impression you were raised by apes and you would be more comfortable sitting in a tree flinging your faeces around.  Surely this hypothetical little one would grow up speaking English as well? 

I don't know: I just do not find a bunch of yobs talking over each other and laughing at their own incredibly unfunny jokes entertaining.  In fairness, they have to laugh at their own jokes because nobody else would laugh at this sub-par low-brow humour that makes Adam Sandler look like Ricky Gervais.
