First of all, I want to apologise for not having written a post on here since last Friday. But, you know, I’ve been busy. Saturday I went to the O2 centre in North Grenwich. This wasn’t to see anything in particular, more to grab dinner and a movie. Why I have to travel over Twenty Five miles on the train to do this when I could just a easily travel two stops to Chelmsford to achieve the same purpose I don’t know, especially when we ended up grabbing dinner but no movie, it’s rather silly. But, I think I’m gonna do an entire post on The O2 next month, after I’ve seen Lee Evans there.

I could talk about Big Brother. It was interesting, I find, that the most bland personality in there won. Did everyone forget to vote Rachel (I think that was her name) out? Or was everybody else in the house such a stupid nobhead that the people voted them out first? Whatever happened, the girl with the really thin hair has won now, and so I’m sure that she will be basking in the fifteen minutes- probably less for her- of fame she will be receiving.

So, I guess I’ll talk about whatever is to hand. If you know me, you’ll know that what is to hand is Sprite. More than anything else, this particular drink is the love of my life. It is just perfect in every way. It’s cool and refreshing, and it always rehydrates me. What’s more, I just feel comfortable with myself when I’m holding a Sprite in my hand. It’s almost as if it’s become a part of my character. At the moment I’m on an average of two or three bottles a day. In fact, the other day it shot up because the sweetshop down the road is doing a two for one on sprite.

What I can’t understand is why anyone would go for anything else. When choosing a fizzy pop drink, what are your options? Coke/ Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Tango/Fanta, Lilt, Iron Bru, Tiser or Sprite. From that list, and I’m aware I’m missing loads and loads of drinks, the only choice is gonna have to be Sprite. I mean, let’s look at it logically.

Coke and Pepsi have hardly any flavour, what there is of it just tastes like sugar water to me. Dr Pepper is a similar sort of cola drink, but is has a much stronger taste. It’s actually pretty nice too, but I find that all cola drinks make me thirstier than to start with. Also, if the urban myths are to be believed, Dr Pepper lowers your sperm count! Now, I don’t really give two flying turds about any urban myths, but I’m sure that some people are put off. Tango, Fanta and Lilt are all painted with the same brush in my book. Tango isn’t bad, but it goes flat really quickly. As for Fanta, well, I’ve gone off that ever since I went to Australia in 1999, but that’s another story. Lilt tastes like sick, so I wouldn’t bother with that either. The last two on my list are Iron Bru and Tiser, and both are quite difficult to find in west Essex. I quite like Iron Bru, but it’s not really my thing. Same goes for Tiser, although the reason I don’t drink it very often is that about three years ago I spilt some on the carpet, and no-one could get the stain off. Which leaves me with Sprite, the ultimate in drinking pleasure.

I hope I didn’t come off there as too much of a Connoisseur of the fizzy pop, I really just like my drinks thirst quenching and if I don’t have that, I don’t bother.

Disclaimer: I just want to point out that I am in no way affiliated with Sprite or whoever owns the parent company. I just really fucking love the drink.
