Oops, I forgot

I have been reminded by a fan (ok, a bored friend who wanted something to read) that I haven't written anything here for a small matter of 4 months. Well, following, this hiatus (latin for lazy shite-ox), I return, fill of wisdom, pasta and tips on painting and decorating....OK just wisdom and pasta then..........fine, just pasta.

I just went through the horrific end of the night routine of setting the alarm next to my bed. I hate it. Not only do I hate it now, but I know that I will hate it more when it goes off in 8 hours to ruin a perfectly good dream about something I will NEVER do in real life (riding a custard horse, playing cricket dressed as a toblerone, licking a wish, you know, those sorts of things). I have a very old Casio digital effort, which makes a quite preposterous 80's bleeping sound to wake the unfortunate owner. It sounds like a panicking robot bat.

In other news, a person from a mobile phone company called me yesterday, but I was having none of it. The conversation (such as it was) went roughly thus:

Nick from 3: Hello this is Nick from 3, the mobile phone compan...........
Me: Can I stop you there Nick and just let you know that I couldn't be any less interested if you were offering to sell me a bag of sick, bye.

I don't do so well with cold callers.
