Tuesday evening blather
There's a bird bath in the garden which gets used quite a lot. Some birds come for a demure drink, some go for a manic washing frenzy, but, without fail, every single one of them turns around when they're finished and just shits in the water before flying away. What's with that?? Dirty birds.

ION, I've signed on for the dole. Er, I mean, Jobseeker's Allowance. Yes. The lady at the job centre was very nice, but insisted on running me through the application process beforehand like I had the IQ of a brain-damaged sheep. She explained the form she had on the screen and how she was going to use my details to find jobs that suit me, because...
Lady: ...it's no good aiming to be a deep sea diver when you have no background in that job area. OK?
Me: *nods*
Lady: So, what did you study?
Me: *deadpan* Marine Biology.
She just boggled at me for a minute. Heh. They obviously have this spiel they go into with every new applicant. Bet it's never bitten her on the ass like that before though, bless her.
