Don't look so happy. Everyone's saying "squizzels" because of you, and now I'll end up saying it in public, or to family, or at an interview, and look silly. *sticks tongue out*

I'm not. It's a stupid word.

I ammmm!

*Mainly* to provoke Aaron.

I know, hilarious. I went in our local Woolworths on Sunday and there were signs at the door proclaiming that "All store fixtures and fittings for sale. Please see manager for details."

And then huge signs plastered all over the Pick N Mix stand which said "THESE FITTINGS ARE THE SOLE PROPERTY OF CANDYKING LTD. AND WILL BE COLLECTED BY CANDYKING LTD. ANY ATTEMPT TO SELL OR DESTROY THEM WILL RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION."

For some reason I found it really rather amusing.

Did someone mention squirrels?

With their heads blasted off by shotguns, yes.

I wondered why they were loading the shelves onto vans yesterday when I was in there, the blokes were just chucking the stuff off the shelves onto the floor.

El Monte is basically part of Los Angeles. My friend/co-worker's girlfriend owns a great Mexican restaurant there, so it was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw a CNN story about a hostage situation in El Monte. I started reading the story and bam: there's El Sombrero, Erica's restaurant.

It's a small world.

Space flights from Scotland? About as likely as there being an alien crime busting organisation under Roald Dahl Plaza in Cardiff. Pfff! Stuff and nonsense.
