One thing I really loved about Grey Area this week is that there was a totally unconnected little story happening on the right hand side of the panels with the business-alien. I think there was an alien which did something weird (bloodsucking?) to a drunk alien and then it looks up and sees a lady-alien and they fall in love. It was rather sweet.

Also popping in to celebrate the cover. It's also a case where the byline and the image work perfectly together. Props to all concerned.

That's awful Blaze. You and your wife have my sympathies.

Dabnett is a walking pin generator. He has my highest respect for his use of the highest form of wit.

I liked the kettle bit in SinDex too.

You'd be forgiven for feeling a bit down after that palaver.

Good tips. We hire through getting applicants to initially fill out competency based forms before selection for interview. It is amazing how many people just attach a CV and write 'see CV' in every box. They are first to go in the bin. I have always suspected those people of just applying to keep their benefits adviser happy. I hope it is that and they are not completely misguided.

I am in my new flat! The day went off without a hitch once I had got all the people to meet me at the times I could be met. I am not in love with the flat - no tellybox, freeview etc and the heating is a bit tricky - but I have a roof over my head and loads of people helping me with my issues (my cousin-in-law is a very useful gas engineer).

Blimey that sounds difficult!

Yeah the old letting agent (my old flat is owned by a multi-national lettings company rather than a person) want me to attend a 'checking out appointment' which 'won't take more than 45 minutes' apparently. I have managed to get them to push that to the end of the day and I have got the current letting agent to look into whether she can meet me at the property. If not, I guess I'll manage somehow even if it means blister plasters or spending a fortune on taxis.

Sheridan, you have inspired me because if you can do it I can!

Meanwhile my new letting agent, my old letting agent and the removal van firm all want me to be in 3 different places at the same time on Tuesday when I move. Ffs. I don't even drive so it will take me an hour or two to go from one to the other.

Mardroid I really hope you get that other job. I wish people were treated with more respect - you're a person not an economic unit to be deployed however they wish with no thought about how it affects you.

Yay!

Keep warm and get well soon.

We all need to win the lottery so we can get away from the SE....

That sounds great, I'm really pleased for you. And a kraken curtain would be perfect!
