This. one. was. TOUGH. First, I understand the meaning of the word want, but what does the phrase seven wants really mean? If I use the English I’ve learnt for the last 27 years or so, Seven would be the subject, want would be the object and the sentence would be incomplete. So, I could just complete the sentence and say seven wants eight. Hehe. I humour myself.
Alternatively, I could use the dictionary definition. Because we use British English, I may not be permitted to use the word want for whatever I want to say in this post. (Pun intended).
Thirdly and finally, I could use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (because according to some definitions, a want is equal to a need).
So I really have no particular wants according to any of the definitions I was able to collect on this delightful Friday, but I have wants all the same. Ladies and gentleman – my dear blog followers – I present to you, my seven wants! I want:
- Nairobi Hospital and Barclays Bank to improve their customer service. Kenya Airways used to be on this list, but I haven’t used them in a while. They are off the hook for now, although I understand their passengers have had to deal with quite a number of flight delays in the recent past.
- You, my fellow Kenyan, to think long and hard about whom you will vote for in next year’s elections and why.
- Kenyan drivers (including GK vehicle drivers, matatu drivers and City Hoppa drivers) who love to show their might on the roads to stop overlapping, thinking they are in more of a hurry than I am or clogging roundabouts and other exits. In other words, I want Kenyan drivers to heed this warning:
- To travel. Anywhere. Everywhere. With money. 🙂
- To book 12 events for which I will be the MC in 2012
- To eat at Talisman or About Thyme before 31st December 2012
- The entire collection of the following series: Mind Your Language; Friends; Tom and Jerry.
Happy Friday, everyone! Happy weekend too.
