Tuesday? Don't talk to me about Tuesday.

I just noticed - the DVLA want me to put a stamp on the sodding envelope to post it to them as well!

Thieving gits!

Other pointless rants:

Do you know how far a cherry yoghurt spreads if you drop one on the floor? No? I do. Quite a long way.

I think I may have released an involuntary scream when I heard Kraft were going to close a Cadbury factory. When did Cadburys lose the S, by the way. Now you have to say "I'm enjoying this Cadbury Creme Egg very much". Madness, I tell you.

Why does any sci-fi programme, when showing that there has been a disaster in London, have to give us a picture of Big Ben on fire. What set light to it? What's up there that would actually burn much? Yes, Dr Who, FlashForward and the Day Of The Triffids remake, I'm talking to you!

Don't get me started on the Triffids either... how come all British Policemen suddenly seem to be carrying hand guns? Why were there loads of cars in Downing Street?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGG!!!!!

(Wages Day by Deacon Blue is trying to calm me down. It isn't working.)

Faking it for real

As Donald “I’m really great, everybody says so” Trump is so fond of pointing out, there is a lot of fake news around nowadays. Honest. Your friends at Facebook think so too, and have recently been publishing their top tips for spotting false news – by placing them as ads in newspapers. Considering they came in for considerable criticism themselves, that’s like shouting “Squirrel!” and pointing at a tree whilst you hastily kick away the prize begonias you just trampled. To help you make sense of this (and because I’m a caring person), I thought I’d run you through their suggestions and help to explain them for you. I know. I’m lovely. 1. Be sceptical of headlines READING THIS ARTICLE WILL IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE!!! And explain that catchy headlines, or stuff all in capitals might be a bit iffy. 2. Look closely at the URL You can find out more about this at www.wowyouregullible.com if you want to understand how phony web addresses are a sure sign of dodgyness. 3. Investigate...

Going Underground

The US presidential election and Brexit must have made me more nervous than I’d realised. It seems I’ve created an underground bunker without realising I was doing it. Still – we’ve all done that at some point, right? No? Ah... In that case, the fact that I have inadvertently turned my cellar into a rudimentary survival shelter, just in case it all kicks off, demonstrates a severe case of bunker mentality. Fretting about Donald and his wall, and Hillary and her emails, clearly made me more paranoid that I thought about the possibility of WW3 kicking off. Whilst attempting to find a specific size of imperial washer the other day (turns out I’d mis-filed it in the nut cabinet – Tsk!) I was struck by what a lot of jam and chutney we have in the cellar. And I do mean a LOT. There are boxes of boiled-up sugar and fruit and more boxes of boiled up vinegar and fruit. We’re still only part way through 2015’s output too. Then there’s the plastic containers holding pasta in various for...

When in Rome...

...have a Grand Prix. Seems that the idea of a street race around Rome is on the cards. That'd be pretty exciting, wouldn't it? Any other suggestions? Basingstoke? Didcot? Reading? "And here's Alonso on Broad Street, just past Heelas and getting dangerously close to the Marks & Sparks cardigan display".... No? OK then. (More MP3 toons - Enigma "La Puerta Del Cieulu")
