The sun has come out in LA, just in time for my departure. Flying back to London today and traveling alone so, as usual, I'm concerned I might have to spend ten hours seated next to a Republican.

My day has largely involved staring into space in the "day job" worrying about just how much other work I have to do outside of it....and to get another one. And also watching people eat cake in the boardroom next to me. And lamenting my lack of cake.

Was good until I got told by a total stranger just now that "I shouldn't be so fat!"
Funny thing is she was black.
Funny how she felt it acceptable to discriminate against someone she doesn't know.

I've treated myself to a pack of Haribo Jelly Bunnies. It's a 160g pack, and the nutritional information has values per 100g and per 25g portion.
25g portion? That means there are six 25g portions and one 10g portion in a pack. "Sorry, child number seven. You're just not as loved as the others. And number eight, you can #%@& right off."
Notes:
1) "Nutritional" is used quite inaccurately here.
2) The empty bag in front of me says that it actually contained one 160g portion.

Reminds me of our IT department yesterday who sent an email saying "Livelink doesn't want to work. It's like a naughty teenager that won't do as it's told so we're going to send it to bed without tea. Or maybe reboot the server"
IT have to do something to amuse themselves...
Today I have a family funeral....always a delight having to interact with extended family right? will it be like the time my Mother lost the funeral on the way to the cemetery? or the time someone's wife started banging on the coffin? who needs Eastenders right?

Were they on the inside or the outside? I really should have qualified that....on the outside, presumably hoping the one inside would answer?! |

Update: nobody got lost, nobody tried to throw themselves in or out of the coffin. My Uncle did declare that he 'Wants to do it like Bowie' ...we eventually established he meant his funeral (or lack of)rather than a radical lifestyle change/dress sense.
All kidding aside it was the first properly 'Secular' or 'hummanist' or whatever the right term is funeral I've been to, and it was really lovely- especially as none of us heathans had to suddenly pretend to have found God.

Trip into Brum tonight... the play (What's In A Name) was properly funny, the moon was beautiful and tiny flakes of snow fell fruitlessly to earth all the way there and back.

Oh I love this thread, probably on account of being a nosy bugger . Just on the way home from work (house managing at a music venue) after a long but pleasant evening thanks to a nice show, audience, performers and crew. Now for tea, toast and booking train for trip to London to watch Honeymoon in Vegas concert |

Currently holed up in my house avoiding being anywhere near town due to Wales V England. Some call it 'atmosphere' I call it a lot of drunk folks in a fairly small area.
