Journalists need to stop abbreviating National Insurance as NI - I keep seeing headlines about this or that politician criticising or defending NI this or NI that and I skim read so I'm going "Fuck, we're not that bad! We've even stopped blowing shit up. Mostly." STOP IT, you're making your Northern Irish readers very confused!

I have literally just realised that the music over the fabulous opening credits/promos for the BBC's Winter Olympic Coverage is the intro to Michael Bublé's version of Cry Me A River. I have no idea why this amuses me so much, but it really does.

28 years ago today, my mum and dad said 'I do ( Read more... )

I have eaten so much good food over the last two days that I may not need to eat again until the summer.

Right, people not from That Community may want to go make a cuppa for this bit. For the rest of you; Bored out of my SKULL with the telly and with nothing else better to do, thought I'd watch some old TG eps (It's research, I still owe dracothelizard at ( Read more... )

Yes, hello, I'm back. Took time out to settle myself. Spent yesterday asleep, as it goes. Feeling a bit more human. Sorry for flaking out on you all.

Um yes, that was pointless. I'm tired. Time to try writing!

Dad and I are off to see Batman Begins tonight - we booked the tickets on Saturday when we thought the weather was on the turn and now look! Nicest day so far and we're off to sit in a hot cinema! Ah well ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in a public library writing teh gay porn slash fanfiction.

It's a rather nice juxtaposition. I'm using big words, I must be tired.

Dad's off doing something to the car, hence the library-ness. Forced stop due to engine cut-outtage. Nothing serious, just enough time to get dec off bring the whole sorry affair to a huge angsty end, ( Read more... )
