News reports today suggest that we are becoming an obese nation, and that it's not the individual's fault &c. I can pretty much believe that, though the report is rather scaremongering: the BBC news page includes a BMI index graph, and I was tempted to check what mine was (usually I'm ( Read more... )

Things have happened! Crikey. However, I'm too lazy to write it all up right now. So instead I've procrastinated expertly by changing my LJ layout 'n' stuff. But I guess I can bullet-point a bit ( Read more... )

Various things, with no order, as am lazy/embroiled in werk:

1) I've been asked to be a standby contestant on Mastermind next month.

Last Wednesday: went to Alton Towers (the theme park, ye non-Brits). Was great. Went on all the big, scary rides and was hideously brave. A day Alton Towers is fine, so long as you are willing to SPEND ALL YOUR LIFE SAVINGS IN ORDER TO GET IN OY THE EXPENDITURE CURSE YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY. Also, it is criminal (i.e. I'm going to see if it ( Read more... )

I've just realised (although they've been out for months) that BBC sitcom Maid Marian and her Merry Men is available on DVD. Why do I find this when I have absolutely no money? Life is a fecund whore tempting us with sparkly dangly things that we yearn for but cannae reach ( Read more... )
