If you are: great.
If you're not: don't fall for all that bullshit. You call it like it is: in otherwords, a massive two fingers to all the fuckers.
We have written the doctrine of being positive into our very curriculum, prescribing a set of reactions for an infinite combination of thoughts & feelings.
So if it seems like a pile of old horse manure to look on the positive and to believe that it all turns out for the best -
tell 'em all to fuck off!
(I'd love to draw a massive graphic of two fingers but I don't know how)

Tin Drummer Interview
About Me
- Bill Haydon
- Generally speaking I write on loads of subjects, however I like, with whatever level of anger and ignorance takes my fancy.
Integrate Yourself Into My Other Blog
My other blog is a maths blog, sort of for boring the pants off anyone who passes by with A Level stuff.
It's at Completing the Square.
It's at Completing the Square.
Raising My Self Esteem:
"Blog Tin Drummer is written by unperson. Rectify" Crushed, Crushed By Ingsoc
"...you garner a lot of respect from people for the quality of your writing." DK, Devil's Kitchen
"F*** me sideways with a chain saw what a damn good blog." Bradford Vision
"An A-blogger if ever there was one, The Tin Drummer has this cursed no-comments policy which I feel detracts from the universal blog-purpose and yet he may be right. Perhaps experience dictates that comments are a mere distraction. Who knows? The best bloggers have their fingers on the pulse, if we might put it that way and TTD does this to perfection.."
James Higham, Nourishing Obscurity
"This is clearly a bright guy. He has something to say and he's not dithering about it." Tom Paine, The Last Ditch
"A source of insightful commment, the thoughts contained within are a great help in developing your pub debates." City Unslicker
"The tin drummer can also make cricket interesting to me, no mean feat as I’ve said. On this blog you will find clear political analysis, beautiful descriptive writing and some self-deprecating humour as well. I love his recent posts on why he has been driven to swear online! All posts are delivered in an excellent and riveting prose style. The tin drummer has a great flair for post titles, too!", WL, Sicily Scene
"So evocative with a dark edge..." Colin Campbell

Being positive can't be bad, mate!!
This ain't a dress rehearsal, so get the max out of it.
No one gets Brownie points for watching laconically as others party.
Life policy; Get Maximum pleasure, Deliver Miniumum pain.
Two fingers of Victory...
I haven't a clue what you're saying here, but I'm guessing you had a couple of brews before you posted.
In any case I agree whole-heartedly.

Fuck 'em all. Especially the optimists.
Spot on, Onyx. I really have to stop doing that but as noone wants to listen to me when I'm slightly tipsy, I've no alternative but to inflict it on the blogosphere.
Ah, so not a glass half full guy.
Not a glass half empty guy.
Just a glass empty guy.
Yes, the glass was empty by time I'd posted that. The bottle was still half full though.
You're in very interesting form right now, TD.
I enjoy these posts. I'm not certain why though...
I find when you're slightly tipsy (as opposed to plain hammered) everyone seems to think you're a genius. Possible this is partly conditional on them also being slightly tipsy/ plain hammered.
When you're plain hammered the blooggosphere can seem tempting, in fact I was overcome by that very temptation last week. Not sure if anyone noticed...
Yes these posts have a very interesting human character to them. A cry for help or a loud scream of frustration in a controlled safe environment. We won't judge you. Just enjoy the way it comes out. You say it so much better than most of us mere mortals.
