There's a random advert, for the life of me I can't remember what it's for, but there's celebrities listing things they like.

Nick Hewer says "A good looking horse over a hedge".

Doesn't particularly annoy me but it just catches the ear wrong.

i think that is for Lloyds bank.

Really didn't expect to get useful advice, thanks Jayo and Si. Got a gig on Friday so having this baby well and truly fucked off would be great. Might steer clear of the strong anesthetic, kind of need my mouth to be working instead of making 'errrrhhhhhhderrrrhbbblllleeehhhh' noises.

Rectal insertion is a no-no, gotcha.

The quote from the county sheriff at this latest American shooting.

"That individual is currently deceased and he apparently killed himself." Currently deceased? Are they expecting him to come back to life?

Back to couriers. I worked from home yesterday and never left the house. City link claimed to have attempted to deliver at 18:22 and left a card which is a blatant lie.

I now have to collect my parcels from their depot on Monday, luckily it's relatively (30 minute walk I think) close to my office.

When I was living in East London the postman "couldn't be arsed" to take parcels on his rounds so just stuck 'you were out' notices through everyone's letterbox and left them to pick it up from the sorting office (which was a half hour's walk there and back). I know this because I accosted him one day after coming home to find him sticking a note through my letterbox, and when I said 'Oh, I can have my parcel now' he explained to me he didn't take them with him.

Apologies for presuming a delivery service was supposed to deliver...

I had similar a couple of years back at Christmas...I had to go to Oxford to collect it. As I could prove I was at home at the time I invoiced them for the petrol money and time and got money back...

The wife has just persuaded me to subscribe to Sky Sports on our Virgin package so that she (we) can watch the darts this month.  I feel a bit dirty now that Murdoch will be profiting from my weakness, but at least I will be able to watch some football (currently Hull vs Stoke...brilliant) on the telly as well.

People parking without any common sense. A typical byproduct of Christmas "stress".

I went to visit a friend at her new house this afternoon.  Cars were parked both sides of the road and having got three quarters of the way up, a car pulled out and drove towards me.  Obviously it made sense for the other woman to reverse, as she was much nearer to the end she'd come from, but oh no the silly cow made it obvious she wasn't going to, so after various gestures, I was forced to reverse all the way back down the road.  To make matters worse, she continued driving forward only inches from my bumper the whole time until I slammed on the brakes and told her to where to go.

Some people are just like that. A good car accident will learn 'em.

I work in the middle of nowhere and the only roads to and from the office are single lane, very bendy and lots of blind hills. And everyone else drives 4x4s. And don't slow down. It's horrible and now I just give way to absolutely everyone everywhere.

With hindsight, I bet you now wish you had just sat there yourself, looking bored and pretending you had all the time in the world while she became steadily more irate.  But console yourself with the thought that getting you to reverse away like that will almost certainly rate as her main achievement of the day.  Some people lead unhappy lives, and I'll bet she's one of them.
