inspiration in maidenhead

I've just been in a random pub in maidenhead watching my uncle's cover band churn out classics. by the likes of ac/dc. and i saw this poignent message above the door. it's probably the best sign I've ever seen and will be integral to my week.

A vision of a better future

I’ve found it. The perfect vision of what the world should aspire to be. And it’s come in the form of a TV advert for Match.com.

I don’t say within the arena of love, or as a desperate singleton. No, not me. I’m just pretty sure that we wouldn’t need to bother with any wars or general injustice if people all over the world walked into shops and sprang into an improvised song in which they found no end of common ground.

Unfortunately, as someone who has found himself on a few blind/internet dates over the years I can assure you that the world is not like this. Trust me when I say, none of these have ever started, let alone finished, as happy as composing a piece of music.

It therefore looks like we’re back to international treaties and UN summits as our best mechanism of ensuring world peace. Still, match.com have allowed me to dream.
