Choose your battles

I had a colonic irrigation this lunchtime. In and of itself it was extremely successful. The Oxford sewage system experienced a temporary surge, and my bowel is fitter, happier and more productive.

But my therapist was incensed about a parking ticket she had unfairly received, which led to a rant about the country going to the dogs: immigrants, the evils of socialism, the perils of state education, and much, much more.

And I learnt a great lesson in life: you can't argue with someone when they're in charge of a tube stuck up your bum.
