Talk to David
This may be one of the best things I've seen for ages. 
zoetrope in particular will be delighted to hear that it was Doiley, my alarmingly fervent Conservative friend-of-friends, who linked me to it, under the heading 'Tories in the ascendancy'. He has, so far, completely ignored my you-do-realise-there's a very-significant-date-at-the-top-of-the-article-don't-you? email. Which, if you know him, is hilarious.
In other news, today I had to attend a stress course at my company's very shiny main building. We had to tell the guy runnning it everything that stressed us out at work so he can report back to the big boss, who will then make everything lovely for us. Obviously nothing's going to come of it, but it was nice to say that Other People Panicking About Deadlines is my major cause of office!stress. And almost everyone else moaned about some people being very loud. No prizes, RL friends, for guessing who that was all about.
We also had to introduce ourselves with the standard two-truths-and-a-lie format. In case you want to play along at home, mine were:
I can touch my nose with my tongue
There are two strangers in my flat right now
My last milk tooth fell out when I was 19
I've not been back in the office long, and I'm bored of work already. Is it hometime yet?
