Super Tuesday

“It’s Super Tuesday!” screams a headline as I tuck into my French Chorizo Omelette. No wait. Two lines into the article it gets even better: Super-duper-Tuesday! This is fantastic, this is great. What a way to start a day! I wish every Tuesday would be a Super Tuesday. Heck, I wish every day would be Super-duper! Although I have always felt that Tuesday needed some extra encouragement, I didn’t think the Americans would go this far!

Super Tuesday, it just sounds cool. What would its Super powers be? Can it fly? Can it make Monday disappear? Can it turn Friday into ice? Let’s ask the Americans!

Unfortunately, Tuesday has historically been my least favourite day. This is strange because when I was young I normally had cricket practice on Tuesdays, but Tuesday practice was always less fun than Thursday practice. People complain more on Tuesdays, the weekend excitement has past and it is the most typical day for a bar to be closed. Atletico never plays on Tuesdays. The best we can ever get is UEFA cup which is shown on Thursday which doesn’t really need this extra boost – being so close to the weekend. There is just very little going for Tuesday. It is no wonder that the Americans are trying to repackage it.

In my current agenda it is Tuesday which again is spoiling my week. I leave home at 08.45 only to arrive back at 22.30 – by far the latest in the week, leaving no time for cooking or that other favourite pastime of mine: jogging. This happens on the far classier Wednesday. It’s just all impossible on Tuesday. So, I therefore applaud the Americans who have finally got it right. From now on, every Tuesday is going to be called Super Tuesday. Super-duper-Tuesday.
