Twitter ye Not

Twitter, no plans, so that finished that subject!

What have I been doing all week then? You know, since I stopped spending all my time trying to get back up and running with my hosting company?

Well, I have been trying to get the works website uploaded but, as per usual, I am awaiting the IT guys to actually do some work. Apparently their email is dead, I am not shocked.

I am still spending money like it is going out of fashion with very little to show for it. Next week I am sort of planning on doing a build in the kitchen as I am losing the table from there. I see a breakfast bar with 6 stools and an empty space where my money once was.

The weather, once it stopped raining today, has been lovely ... except, it was 21°C but didn't feel like it. Apparently, according to the BBC in a hopefully obvious error of fact, today is the hottest day this year. I am just hoping they meant "So far!" On the plus side, Florida promises to be hotter! Sod's law says it will be 36°C there and 40°C here! But, then again, weather here may have, it will not have buffet breakfast at Ponderossa, it will not have, Disney, it will not have Universal, Seaworld or Busch Gardens. BHS do not, as yet, serve jambalaya and the town centre does not have a white sand beach anywhere nearby ... Hunstanton really doesn't come close, get real! Yay, we're going to Florida ... did I mention we were going to Florida, that's in the United States of America you know.

Weight continues to leave me which means I am either being very good or I am about to die from some horrible desease ... I am hopeful of the former option!

Happy birthday to Tony, wheresoever.

Happy birthday to Sean, get some new boxers.

Happy birthday to Anna, sorry, meant to say that in person, my bad.

Is it illegal still to shoot noisy kids from the office window? It does seem terribly justified right now.

Bored writing now, ttfn

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
