Isn't it ironic...don't you think?

Apparently...

"...It's a black fly in your Chardonnay"; or

"...It's a free ride when you've already paid";

Some would say - although I wouldn't - that it's also ironic that Alanis Morrissette changed her nationality from Canadian to American, on the basis that had she done so 5 years earlier, she wouldn't have been able to understand the lyrics of her own song!!

(Clearly such views are stereotypical nonsense, and anybody who supports the notion that it is fair and reasonable to tar all inhabitants of a particular nation with the same stereotypical brush, can find like minded individuals a plenty, especially on a Sunday evening on BBC2 when Top Gear is on!)

It is also somewhat ironic that I am still hobbling after my walk on Sunday, with suspected (albeit self diagnosed, so most probably inaccurate and wholly exaggerated!) 'shin splints', whilst my nearest and dearest is totally pain-free!

However, my predicament pales into total insignificance when compared with the (ironical) events in California over the weekend, when Jose Luis Ochoa suffered far more than his "bird" during another (dubiously, so called) sporting event.

Mr Ochoa, was attending an illegal cockfighting event in Tulare County, California, when he was stabbed in the leg by a bird with a knife attached to it, the aim of which was to kill one of the other birds with which it was supposed to be fighting, rather than Mr Ochoa!

Now, isn't THAT ironic...don't you think?
