Oh I don't know. I'm confused as usual.

I was going to rant about political correctness and the, in my opinion, lunatic ideas that spring out of the heads of overpaid public servants, politicians, committees and whoever else is employed in the National Daft Ideas Departments of the United Kingdom.

This was brought on by the news that a hospital in England has banned well-wishers from cooing at babies in the maternity unit to protect the babies' right to privacy and human rights.

Unfortunately, I mentioned this to the Mongrel, and she leapt to the defence of the hospital, saying that a mother in a maternity unit is there to bring up a baby, not a bloody pigeon.

Sorry I mentioned it dear. Can I have my head back now?

Apparently a woman the Mongrel works with coos at every baby who comes in the door, and talks baby talk to them. This drives the Mongrel to distraction and she has to restrain herself from hitting the woman with the nearest heavy object.

So, cooing is out, cooing is bad, cooing is illegal.

I can think of a few extremely choice things the Mongrel has said to her kids over the years when she was pissed off at them, and it was extremely grown up stuff with, I admit, not a coo to be heard. Language that would make a sailor blush and get this blog deleted.

She wouldn't talk to a pigeon like that.......
