Food

I haven't had much to post about lately as I've been finding things far too depressing. In a panic I asked stv for inspiration and he told me to blog about my cheese.

I currently have some mild cheddar. It's past its best before date, but it hasn't yet gone mouldy. I think it may still be feasible.

Sticking to a similar topic, I have a lot of milk. Both me and my sister noticed we were close to running out and bought milk at the same time.

We also have some coffee (I'm on a roll here) which we got in a Christmas hamper from our Grandparents. But neither of us drink coffee, so it's going to waste.

Ompoloteness

Poloteness doesn't pay when one os on paon.

Of you go to a pharmacost and ask for "Nurofen, please", they thonk you are loke the typocal Londoner who doesn't use the word "please" and that you have asked for "Nurofen Plus".

Then you end up payong more money for somethong you don't want.

Unless you are me and have had thos happen before, so you have your wots about you and can say "But, no! O saod "please", not "Plus"!"

Only, you'd say ot replacong the "o"s woth the correct letter so that they understand you.

Oops!

O have just realosed that my totle for the forst post of today contaons the letter "o". That os, not the letter "o", but the letter "o". As on the letter O'm tryong not to use.

Please, nobody poont out thos error. I already know about ot.

Ot's not all that easy when you're used to usong the letter "o" and then you stop. As on the letter O'm not using.

Speakong

By the way, O am not goong to be speakong wothout "o"s because that would be too doffocult.

Spelling

Today O am refusong to beloeve that the letter "i" exosts (except for just then).

O have been replacong ot woth the letter "o".

O sent an emaol to a cloent and used the word "apologoes". The spell check pocked ot up, but O refused to change ot. O gave up woth the word "dosclosures" and changed that one though.

He probably thonks O'm stupod.

O'm not goong to run the spell check on thos, because ot would reject a lot of words.

Apology

I have been informed that the phrase "'local' Tesco" in the previous post, entitled "Good news!", is misleading. The post should have referred to "most local Tesco".

I apologise for this error and for any embarrassment or loss of income to my most local Tesco caused by my stupidity.

Good news!

There's a bus that goes from the 'local' Tesco to the top of my street and back again (via a hospital)! But there's only one every half an hour.

Deja vu

I was sitting in my living room when I noticed a van pull up right outside my house. I didn't think much of it, other than a slight nosiness as to what one of the residents of my street was up to. After half an hour or so, when the engine was started, it alerted me and I stood at my window to get a better view. As the van pulled out, I noticed it was hired from a place in South Tottenham that rents out quality vans!

Coo! It may well have been it's second visit to the parking spot outside my house!

Rebel

I have decided to rebel. Against myself. This includes doing the following:

1) Getting fat
2) Talking to people
3) Saying "No" more often (especially when people ask me to do some work)
4) Leaving work closer to 5:00 pm than 7:00 pm
5) Stop drinking tea

I am going to achieve these by:

1) Eating Lard
2) Forget I'm actually faced with people and spout drivel (this may result in my making more enemies than friends, but at least it will get me started with the talking thing and I can refine the content later)
3) No! No! No!
4) Leave work at a sensible time
5) ... OK, maybe I won't rebel completely

Money pt II

My mortgage is not about to be paid off.

My premonitions aren't very good.

Money

Hey! It's pay review day today! I'm holding out for a 500% (the tax man will be wanting a share) bonus that will pay off my evil mortgage. And I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that I had a £20,000 pay rise! Obviously it was a premonition.

Holidays

There is a place in Norway called Hell.

Food

I made the mistake of going to Tesco's while I was hungry. Now I have more food than I can shake a stick at.

Complaints

I understand people have been complaining about a lack of postings from me.

I haven't been posting because I have been really busy so:
1) I haven't had the time or energy to post
2) I haven't had the time or energy to do or think of something that I would consider worth posting.

Of course, I would complain that I have been too busy, which all boils down to the same complaint.

Incidentally, I spent all day yesterday looking at run-off triangles which has resulted in my being unable to do simple mental arithmetic. By that, I mean not being able to tell whether one number is bigger than another.

The effects did wear off eventually.

Grrrrrr!

I started off being angry with work.

Then I was VERY angry with work.

Then I was angry with myself.

Now, I'm a little bit annoyed with myself, but generally feeling happier.

Come February 2005, I will be on holiday.

Naked Banana Freezer Day

I spoke to HRH at the weekend. Two important points arose:

1) If your banana turns black, stick it in the freezer. (I'm not sure what good this does the freezer. Something about cake.)

2) On the other side of the planet, they have what is known as "Naked Day". I'm rather hoping it will take off over here.
