You know, I was searching for something I lost today, and came across my passport tucked away somewhere really safe (just as well I wasn’t looking for “that”) anyways; I looked at the passport for a while, after blowing the cobwebs off and realised, it expires THIS August?! That’s when it hit home….”You’re getting old!”

Then I shoock all of this off, and realised “Don’t be silly you’re NOT getting old, it’s just a LOT of time has passed by” I think it’s time I took another trip abroad, my problem is that there is nothing catered to the single traveller. I suppose I’ll just have to go on a hunt and hitch myself up with a lovelly wench who is pretty, but more importantly dumb enough to hang out with me long enough to get a cheap deal abroad

It seems rediculous to me that in this day and age, of “Bi’s” and homosexual weddings etc….(pssst did you hear?! Apparently Elton John has put in for a divorce!! he caught his other half making love behind his back!!) ….I digress - to the point > > > It seems that if you hitched up with someone no matter of their gender compared to yours you at least have some rights, and benefits for doing such. However, there appears very little geared towards someone who chooses to remain single!

Single people are by and large the most descriminated against in the consumer world (that’s an unfair statement, the least thought about maybe??). Just because I am synical about the world of romance and choose to bide my time, I am unable to reap any of the benefits that coupling can afford, for example - dual incomes (on average but certainly not always); cheaper travel (MOST IMPORTANTLY); even some legal rights. It’s almost like if I am still alone and single at the age of thirty-odd I must be some sort of freak! Well I am wierd and geeky I will concede that but society today sucks.

I am going to play the game my way whether the world agrees with it or not!

There are lobbies out there fighting for “married people’s rights” and “gay people’s rights” but who will step up to the mark and fight for “SINGLE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS”??????
