Sir_Nigel 10 #1 Posted December 15, 2015 Surely it can’t be that hard to find an appropriate card but why in this shop do I see so little for little old me? This limitless choice is terrific but some are just too damn specific. You can find in these wide-ranging aisles: To my Step Brother Over the Miles, To my Grand Nephew over the Sea, You’re Just Like a Mother to Me, So Happy to Hear That You’re Wed! but Sorry Your Dog is now Dead. If your dad has begun a new life and run off with your trashy ex-wife, there’s a card for the tough moment when you decide that you’re talking again. If your Grandpa is banged up inside ‘cos he strangled his mail order bride, there’s a verse that can neatly convey what you think you are trying to say. If someone you once knew as Jack who had changed to a Jill but switched back has a baby with someone called Butch, there’s a message that covers that much. If someone you didn’t expect joins a infamous middle east sect there’s a leaving card here on the shelf saying Good Riddance, Go **** Yourself. Why can’t people just be Normal like me? My life is not an Eastenders’ plot. I just want to pop into a shop for a card to say Happy Birthday without soppiness or sloppiness without over-sensitivity or laboured inclusivity. No post-modern funnies or cutesy effing bunnies. I don’t want to browse like some big girl’s blouse, just leaf through one or two then mutter… That’ll do.
