A Startling Level of Blog Inactivity.
It's been so long; largely because I've moved and internet access
has not been forthcoming, it is still on the sporadic side due to an
unfortunate combination of a cheap wireless network kit and a
technically inept user (hello!). Anyway, the other reason for
the hiatus is that I've started my new job; rather scarily I have to
book 'chargeable time' when I'm working, and I recently found out that
my hourly rate is about ₤65,
thats just over a pound a minute which makes me similarly expensive to
a dirty phone line; although arguably not such good value.

How Much!
I have to move to London.
This in itself is not a problem, however I am moving on my own and
this means I cannot afford anywhere within reasonable distance of work. I
have found several shiny new 2 bed places for only 50-70 quid a week more than
a crappy studio/1 bed in the same area; this only serves to depress me
further. For example when I went down to look at flats the other day I
saw a nasty 1 bed place in an even nastier area and they were boldly
asking 180 a week; I also saw advertised a brand new development of 2 bed apartments by the new Olympic
site, with under floor heating and all mod cons for 250 a week. Anyone
want to share?

Same Thing We do Every Night Pinky....
A commonly asked question is….
”If you only had one wish, what would it
be?” …. and as with most commonly asked questions there are
some commonly given answers.Some people will say…
”World Peace!” ….those people are
idiots. Other people will say…
”A long and happy life.” ….those people are
idiots too. Others will try to be clever
and say… ”Three more wishes” ….those people
are also idiots; and yet others will say… ”Untold riches,
fame and sexual magnetism” …. but even those people are
idiots.The problem is that people don’t give the question the consideration
it deserves. If people just took a
moment to think then they would realise that what they really want, all that
anyone really wants; is an army of robot minions to do their evil bidding. Yesterday
at work I had to flatten out some boxes for disposal, boxes like this. 
I like these boxes, my
reasons, are twofold. - They go together without the need for
staples or glue; which is not only very clever, but also makes them easier to
flatten for disposal, and more importantly…
- Once flattened they look uncannily like aliens, or perhaps robots
from a 1980s video game.
If
only I had some way of controlling them.

Last Month, I Have Mostly Been......
I've not written for about a month now, and I always think that
after a break it's very important to come back with something very
strong, capture the public interest and initiate great debate
throughout the homes and workplaces of this great nation and beyond; in
short to try and raise the bar for the entire weblogging community.So
last month I carried on doing what I've been doing for ages; went to a
stag do and a wedding (not connected), and now I'm continuing to fail
to get a job. Oh and it's my Dad's birthday soon and I don't know what to get for him. Ideas welcome. Job done I feel.

Finally I can Sleep at Night.
So it seems like Maradona has admitted that it was a handball in the 1986 world cup quarterfinal...
Thank christ we finally have an answer, because personally I've never been quite sure.

A Dilemma.
I have this thing that I do; well I have lots of things I do, but this one largely involves the boycotting of
products on the basis of especially poor advertising (much as you would
have a greater interest in a product for very high quality
advertising). It's not a new thing, I've been doing it for a while,
and in some circumstances it's not an easy regime.... I actually quite
like Pringles... but on the whole I've done pretty well, however things
just got more complicated.A few yers ago I bought some of these  
......... and they're quite good, however JML have now started making
them, and are airing the worst advert I have ever seen, and this is not just my opinion either.
So do I now have to stop using them, or can I carry on? Is it the
product or the manufacturer I have to shun? Does it matter that I
bought them before I saw the advert? I'm so confused.
UPDATE:
I've just found to my great delight that you can view the advert in question online, although I should warn you that you may be scarred for life.
