With interest I read Charlie Brooker's coloumn in the Guardian today. He tells readers "lurking deep within everyone's brain are two interdependent creatures. One's an insecure, quivering homunculus; the other a needy egomaniac. So long as they both take turn pulling the levers, everything works out ok. But its a fine balance. The homunculus thrives on negative feedback. Deprive it of a regular slagging, and it eventually withers and dies, leaving the egomaniac to take over. At which point your swaggering around thinking you're it". At this point you'd be like one of the contestants from the Apprentice and in need of a dose of humility. I agree with Charlie being slagged off at times is good for you. It does make you a stronger person with a better backbone. Finally second day of british summer time I spotted many a person out tidying there garden and cutting the grass and attending plants on my travels to the post office to purchase stamps to mailout my new postcard to promote me.
