Was looking for an erotic novel about a mouse who was into s&m and worked in a print shop.

Eek. Printed and bound.

Kidding.

Best of luck. If you're disertation is half as good as your poetry you'll go far

Besides you write with a real passion on your subject.

Look forward to sneering at your efforts as a Booker Prize judge or entrant in a few years time.

Thanks, guys. :$

And I am maybe going to bake, zooo, and finish reading about some kids killing each other. :)

Awesome plan!

Slightly worried cos I've read like half the book up until now. Right before my deadline. Before my dissertation was done. I'm panicking things are wrong with my dissertation now but I need to just leave it.

Ach most students can't even read these days.

So you're well ahead of the pack.

I love Zooo's quote on the newsletter this week. So typically Zooo!

Oh god, wonder what that is...

Seen it now. :$

Hehe!

Looking at my parent's marriage certificate - it just happens to be here - and my mother's 'condition' back in the early 70s was 'spinster'.

Spent an hour in a bar in this tiny town 1000 miles away from where I grew up. I'd noticed a license plate from my hometown, so I struck up a conversation and it turned out that the only customer knew my parents and my father-in-law and I'd edited his column when he wrote for our paper 15 years ago. He's now living here in North Carolina and has recently opened a winery. We had a good conversation about beer, our hometown and Wayne Rooney's new hair. (He owns a home in our former city but the guy didn't know who he was nor who United/City were.)

Crickey, how do you feel Ben? I had a similar thing as a nosey kid and discovered 1 brother was not a brother. Very traumatic at the age of 10. :S

Think the energy company who sends people around to get you to swtich to them must have had a few complaints. The last time it only took two no thank yous to get rid of them and this time just one.
In the past I've had to close the door in their faces because they didn't understand "no".

In the past I've had to close the door in their faces because they didn't understand "no".

I once helped to have one of these jokers sacked. He stood on my doorstep in a hard hat and hi-vis jacket (because they were "doing work in the area"!) and when I finally succeeded in convincing him that I was not interested he asked me to "sign something to say I had spoken to him".

"I'm not signing that - it's a contract."

"No, it's just to say you have spoken to me, so we don't bother you again."

"It say 'contract' right there."

"Oh don't worry about that's, that's nothing."

"I can read. That's a contract you want me to sign."

"No just because it says 'contract' that doesn't mean anything."

After closing the door on him I rang the electricity utility to complain.

"Oh we wouldn't know about that. We use contractors to sell on our behalf. You should complain to them."

"I am complaining to you, because it is your product they are selling. Your product which I would now have nothing to do with if you were giving it away."

A couple of days later I received a phone call to say that the contractor had parted with the employee "after a number of complaints". Was I still interested in switching to them?

:D Tee Hee
