Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

This is what pisses people off with all this recycling bollocks and before you say it, we do recycle but the more a stick is used the less I will end up doing it!

Couldn't agree more.  I'm all for recycling and we put a fair bit of effort into it, just seems like a solid concept, but the amount of crapola you run into doing it is incredible.  I particularly enjoyed the bit where the cardboard I'd been carefully separating and recycling was being shipped from Dublin to Essex to be burned in an RDF plant.  Mmmm, environmentally sound.

My reaction would probably have been to simply dump the box of rubbish in the path in front of them and walk off.

Yes, me too.  I fear CF is mellowing.

That would have been quite funny, and logical too, seeing as they were blocking CF's path and they would have had to go back in the direction of the cardboard skip anyway; they might as well have taken his rubbish with them!

This is my second grumpy weekend in a row and I'm taking it out on the people I love the most too. It's their fault that I'm so grumpy though, so tough titties to them.

my wife got caught speeding for the first time so rather than the £60 fine and points she opting for the awareness course.

I fell down the last couple of stairs at home yesterday and landed on my back. I thought I had got away with it as I felt OK after catching my breath but I woke up this morning feeling like I've been hit by a bus.

[TordelBack]

Time to think about that stair-lift, Rog.

It's 9am and I'm sitting in a 'training centre' being told tyhe correct way to type a letter.

Where to put the date, your name, their name etc. Even, and I swear this is what they are talking about right now as I type, the correct way to space the digits in your mobile no.  Because if they aren't spaced correctly the recipient will throw your letter straight in the bin. No second chances.

This may be the single dullest morning of my life and it's barely started.

Hang on, she's coming over...

Phew, seems I have typed my number correctly. Gold star for me then.

Kill me now. 

[Tiplodocus]

Progless for nearly a month now.

I decided to go digital but my PC keeps breaking down (it is old so I'm thinking of moving on).

So I haven't had my fill of toothy goodness for weeks.


Still, at least I'm not having to escort my family out of Bahrain like my little brother is...

Why have I chosen to watch 2 subtitled films when I'm trying to write the next article for my blog today

This morning I walked into work to be greeted with the question "what are you doing here? Don't you have the day booked off?" And I checked my diary and had indeed asked for the day off. So it was back on the bus to go home with nothing planned to do.

I have just been waylaid in a second hand bookshop by a French man in his sixties, who proceded to tell me over the course of three quarters of an hour, all about how the ancient Babylonians and Assyrians had spacemen as their gods, how the spacemen's 'watches' worked, how their holograms worked, how it impacted upon their battle plans, why they carried handbags (force fields, apparently) and how this is all backed up in historical record.

Sounds like you encountred a Sitchinite. Quite fond of Zach's books myself.

He claimed to have formed these theories "in 1964", and has suffered "decades of ridicule" as a result. Also claimed to have met Isaac Asimov in the seventies and spoken to him about them. He was very serious, but amusing, and owned the shop; so wasn't just a random loon.
