T.V has much to answer for, it's given me food for thought this week after watching new episodes of Big Bang theory and Perfect Couples. Both addresses the issues of monogamy and commitment.

Are we humans, men in particular, built for Monogamy. It's an age old question that many people have tried to answer and I suspect many people have an opinion on. I for one have experienced both worlds, the single and the monogamous life for reasonable periods of time and end up sitting pretty in the green grass of a committed long term relationship, and it's where I'm happy to be.

The single life can be a riot, several nights out as and when you choose, different men or women for different nights, being able to go and do as you please, no ties to partners Birthday, family/Christmas gatherings, and if you happen to be very attractive, the world appears to be your oyster.

But on the flip side, you do spend alot of time alone you never get a chance to get to know someone properly to see if they might be "the one" and you spend a lot of time learning to "love yourself", if you know what I mean.

Those who enjoy the single life are likely to see the alternative as a burden but monogomous relationships allow you to truley know a person, you can laugh and a joke about the silliest things, that become in jokes between you over time and can brighten even the darkest days of a relationship.

 There are no more awkward first kisses, no more having to pay for all there drinks to keep them sweet, though that is replaced by paying for everything else. You're not lonley, can enjoy there company and there is the perk of regular sex, or regular headaches, depending on how she's feeling. I'm not saying everything is rosie, it never will be, but the small fights and niggles between you are outweighed by the fun and special times you share together. You even begin to tolerate their family after a while ;-)

Secondly, after watching the last episode of Frozen Planet the other week, I was told something amazing and stupid. Apparently that wasn't being shown in America because they don't believe in the global warming effects.

This is totally crazy, American submarine research finds out the ice is shrinking, America will be able to use quicker export routes etc because the ice is shrinking, the US has an extremely educated and sensible president in Obama and yet they refuse to show a program that reveals the truth?

Surely even the most ardent “I'm alright jack, screw the rest of you” Americans, and the bible belt Christian communities must see that this is the case.

Oddly the search for oil under the Arctic ice can only continue if the polar regions shrink further, and we all know the country with the greatest thirst for oil? Hint (in a whisper) “they probably started a pointless war over it?”

Thirdly, as it's nearly Christmas and I'm unlikely to blog again before then, I'll wish you all a Merry Christmas, and remember the true meaning of Christmas, VENGEANCE (The Grinch clip 1:26 in) , no, um, spending time with the ones you love and the birth of Christ, oh and loads of pressents!

Mouse door and beer.
