All very quiet around here recently ..... everyone must be preparing for conventions, if they're not already there. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones going this year, I wonder what your main reason is for attending? Is it:
1. Because it's expected of you;
2. Because there's naff all else to do at the weekends;
3. Because everyone else that you know (or ever knew) is going;
4. Because it's what you've done every June since your mother first dragged you along kicking and screaming as a baby;
5. Because it provides an easy way of demonstrating to the workers just how seriously you take this professing lark;
6. Because you forgot to raise your hand when the mission was tested in May and you wanted another opportunity to profess lest you get killed in a car accident over the summer;
7 Because your granny will be there and you haven't seen your granda since Christmas;
8. Because you want an opportunity to sing your favourite hymns loudly and badly without anyone noticing (too much);
9. Because you want an opportunity to show off your new topless BMW/Audi/Merc/Wife/Dress etc;
10. Because you need to find out what's being banned this year (in case there's something you need to hide in the coal shed next time the workers arrive round);
11. Because you've behaved so badly this year that you simply need the (inevitable) reassurance that no one else has been what they should have been over the last year either;
12. Because you've managed to convince your children that that
big tent is really a circus;
13. Because you're addicted to stew;
14. Because you'll get the opportunity to do some serious potato peeling;
15. Because of the craic in the dorms at night;
16 Because you suffer from Isolophobia;
17. Because the telly's crap in the summer;
18. Because your doctor's recommended you take a vacation but the credit crunch has began to bite lately and it's all you can afford;
19. Because you crave intense boredom;
20. Because of the women and the (real) possibility of a bit of "how's yer father' in the evenings.
