This was other item in the combined shopping basket that gave me the fit of giggles. 2L of Vodka + 1L of Goat's Milk. Kind of put my thematic shop of fruit and veg into perspective, don't you think?
I won't go into huge detail, but among my morning post was an invoice (which at first glance looked like an obligatory bill) for somewhere in the region of 500GBP inc. 21% Euro V.A.T. ~ an amount to be paid if I wished to appear in a European register (doesn't particularly matter in what connection).
I assume some of these invoices are simply paid by underlings working in offices who have the right to sign cheques. Absolute crooks. My net benefit from appearing in their publication is nil.
In the fullness of time, I intend to invoice them for 1000GBP as my fee for having my name mentioned in their cruddy rag.
Earlier this evening I was in my local Sainsbury's (quite a big one). As I checked out, directly in front of me were a pair of diminutive dark-haired 30-something Poles (or possibly Russians) we represent every Nation on Earth in Edgware. Oh Yes. Anyway, back to the point.
For the second time in recent weeks, I got a fit of the giggles owing to the two items the gentlemen were purchasing. The two items were not the same, furthermore, they were different. Let's see who can get closest.
...but can anyone tell me who started the tradition of photographing watches with the hands pointing to ten past ten (or very occasionally ten to two)? I even once spotted an amusing illustration of a digital watch with a time of 10:10 (I'm sure a lot of people 'got' that joke).
Just stay cool and let the Universe do its thing.
This has now been officially accepted as a reason why society is doomed over at this website:
I had a mad hour or two where I posted 30 straight reasons, some of which make for amusing reading (some are obviously a little more serious).
My numbers start at 5444 and go up to 5473.
This is another of my original ideas that I just want to get time-stamped at this site, as I don't believe that I'd easily get it published at some of the other places I try to get my work accepted at around the internet.
ADHD (loosely) concerns short (and ever-shortening) attention spans. It is my experience that some people with short attention spans in some areas of human achievement can actually focus for many hours on things that fall more within their 'comfort zone' (i.e. their hobbies etc.).
This may be a clue as to a way to make a possible breakthrough with some clinical cases. Find out where the subject can focus and see how far they can manage along that road.
Lessening stress here is another key factor.
A modern Dickensian tale of an evil tailor/moneylender. His activities mostly vile but occasionally quirky and amusing. This was an entertaining piece of work, to me, nowhere near as successful as director Paolo Sorrentino's 2005 film 'The Consequences of Love', although I would recommend hiring either on DVD.
I managed 5, but there's two I won't touch as they are too complicated for me and will therefore only ever be right 6 months of the year!
I have spent the last couple of hours at this website:
posting a load of reasons why civilization is doomed!
welcome to my new blog name and description. I hope it causes some amusement during what has proven to be a year that has not fulfilled as much as it had initially promised.
As we turned into 07 everyone thought this would be the panacea for all ills of the past, but sadly by as early as March 24th we can already judge that it is probably going to be 08 that's 'the big one'.
Today holds its usual broad range of excitement and therefore, I will report back later.
"A philosopher is someone who uses their fork to stir a cup of tea."
This is an actual quote from a book that I once read on the subject of philosophy. I don't suppose anyone can identify the author (I can't remember the name exactly, but if someone got close I would suddenly recognize it!)
Of course, this all sprang to mind the other day when my washing-up went into overload and I ran out of tea-spoons.
would anyone care to hazard a guess at the total number of times I have seen films in the Star Wars series (if I have seen one of them two or three times, this counts, so do not think that the maximum answer can only be six!)

That whenever you go to the supermarket you always forget one thing?
This is a baby king penguin. Image thanks to Google images.
I can now get back on with the rest of my day which is full of important and worthy things such as emptying the bins and finding those darned scissors again.
Nice to see so many of you gracing these pages. I've had a day best described by the following word: grinding.
Still, things can only get better tomorrow (or worse).
I am taking a month off seeking the answer to the meaning of life and focusing more on factors such as fruit-based diets and healthy sleep-patterns.
In other news, my dentist failed to crack any jokes today (which is a kind of relief as his jokes aren't funny anyway - is this true of all dentists, I wonder?)
Due to global warming, the weather appears to have taken a turn for the worse, this is probably due to the rise in left-handed snails.
...although I'm not quite sure why I'm about to pay good money to get my teeth scraped professionally.
Another chilly day over here.
Not sure how convinced I was by the budget. Some commentators reckon they are getting rid of the 10% tax band to allow the 20% band to work.
Only confirms how much I hate politicians. Talking of which,
I heard Archer talking about his latest abomination on five live earlier today. Don't think I'll be changing my religious viewpoint just yet.
Stepping up my intake of water. I must be up to 4 glasses a day by now. Have been advised to reach 10 a day!
Personally, I'd rather be a Martian.
if anyone writes anything awesome tonight, please let me know (below) so that I can comment on it when I get back in from my night of hellraising.
Just wanted to say that I am NOT sorry about anything.
...so I will be doing a bit of hellraising later on to change all of that.
Can anyone recommend a brilliant uplighter?
The good scissors always disappear?
Someone always gets to the Pringles before me?
There are no decent bananas left by the time I get to the supermarket?
Water has no taste?
My room is always in a mess?
It's always a nice sunny day when I've got to stay in.
I am out to get Mr Google Alert Bonds tonight. I've got 6 more blogs than him. How do you rate my chances of success?
Does this sound good to you?
8x Oversampling Progressive and 16x Interlace output
Well, once again my dear blogging chums, it has been fun participating in my preferred pastime of n-dimensional bul-bul with all of you. One of these fine days I might actually reveal what is actually going on in my life! (Nah... why spoil things!)
The new Wembley is now officially open.
The FA's Chief Executive, Brian Barwick, said he felt really proud.
"This is a moment we've been waiting for - a stadium with people in it and with footballers on the pitch," he said.
...and replied to my posting about her painting. Now, I didn't expect that to happen!

Harriet has a brilliant site here:
On which I will commence by Phyring a few ex bolgers who no longer do anything to justify their existence. Also I have a 95 to 105 policy giving me a median of 100.
Has anyone seen this movie or heard/read a review of it?
It's been a fairly quiet day over here at Mozart House. I started the day with 7 tasks to complete and I've managed 6 of them. Tomorrow looks busier in comparison, but hey, I'll deal with that after a good night's sleep (hopefully). As usual, people have been unhelpful, but c'est la vie, eh?
