I slept well. As I scoffed toast I started something new on
the telly. I say new… I tried watching Rik Mayall’s “The New Statesman”. I’ve
always liked Rik Mayal in “The Young Ones”, “Bottom”, “Filthy
Rich and Catflap” and the like, but sadly “The New Statesman” was
utter tripe. I turned it off after ten minutes. I can definitely remember it
being much better…
I had a quick look at the Internet instead. It was a tad
dull this morning. I sent out birthday wishes, had a quick Munz, opened the
Advent Calendar and got ready for work.
The weather forecast for overnight claimed the temperature would
stay above freezing, so the thick ice on the car came as something of a shock
this morning.
It didn’t take *that* long to shift.
As I drove the pundits on the radio were talking about how
OFCOM (the people in charge of internet security) are trying to cut down
on the abundance of free porn on the Internet. It’s all very well fining a company
a million quid for dishing out free porn, but it’s something of an embarrassment
when you have
absolutely no idea where this company actually is and they don’t reply to
emails.
The joy of the Internet is that anyone can be absolutely
anywhere and it all still works. You’d think the nice people at OFCOM would
know that, wouldn’t you?
And there was talk about how countries are boycotting the Eurovision
Song Contest as Israel isn’t
getting chucked out. The people who run it say that they won’t chuck Israel
out as the contest is strictly non-political… clearly the people who run it
have never watched the voting.
I stopped off at Sainsbury’s to get a sandwich and some dog
treats. As I paid so I was telling (ranting at) the nice lady on the
till about what a load of crap their Nectar vouchers are. She smiled sweetly
and gave me a Nectar voucher for money off of any pet insurance policy I might
take out with them. Like I haven’t had pet insurance policies for years.
Work was work. I had something of a “reactive
lymphocytes and malaria” sort of a day really. I would say “like we all
do from time to time” but I suspect some have them more than others.
I did my bit, and was pleased to find the road home was a
lot less busy than often it is.
“er indoors TM” went off out with
her mates. I boiled myself up a pizza and started watching “Danger UXB”
on DVD. I’ve not watched that for years… the first two episodes were rather
good…
And then I remembered that for all that I’d opened my
Advent Calendar some fifteen hours previously, I’d not told
the world about it…
