  • I’m actually in a brimmingly

    I’m actually in a brimmingly good mood this morning, in spite of the fact that it is grey and miserable outside, and that I know I’ll have to work through until around 9 or 10pm today. Fingers crossed that this continues.

  • Time for a disclaimer methinks:

    Time for a disclaimer methinks:
    contrary to any rumours that may or may not be circulating, Robyn and I are not an item. Never have been, are not, will never be. Very good digital friends, yes. Item, no.
    And incidentally James, don’t you think that “you could do worse” is a bit of a lame compliment to Robyn?
    As an aside to that, all single girls reading this should note that, unlike the aforementioned orbynmeister, I *am* single *and* looking. apply here.

  • not had much to say

    not had much to say today, but one thing I wanted to record yesterday (but didn’t) was this:
    announcement heard on train on way to work:

    “The next station will be Barnham.
    Customers for sunny Bognor Regis should change at Barnham.
    Customers for …. [insert long thoughtful pause here] …Littlehampton should also change at Barnham.”

    Littlehampton – a place for which there is no suitable adjective. Unless you can come up with one.

  • TPL update: a mediocre 25

    TPL update: a mediocre 25 points taking me to 733 in total.

  • wish list for today’s budget:

    wish list for today’s budget:
    – dramatic cut in income tax, say by 10%
    – make CDs zero-rated for VAT
    – cut tax on beer and wine by 50%
    – extend tax rebates to all single people, especially those who live in one bed flats
    Of course I believe in prudence, so I’d pay for all this by cutting all expenditure on ministerial salaries. I’m sure that with a manifesto like this, I’ll be swept to power in a landslide!

  • I don’t mean to start

    I don’t mean to start a rush or anything, but I was in Waitrose here in Chichester earlier – and they have had a delivery of (whisper it) meat. So now have stocks in the fridge of beef and gammon. Nice. I’ve also picked up a great recipe card from Waitrose for chicken in wild mushroom and champagne – sounds delicious and very healthy apparently. Just need someone to cook it for (serves two!) – any volunteers? You will, of course, have to fulfil the usual criteria.

  • both the “about Graybo” and

    both the “about Graybo” and “gissa job” pages have been updated today. please contain your excitement.

  • nice site. I like these

    nice site. I like these people. or their products at least.

  • I’ve read this site once

    I’ve read this site once or twice in the past, and stumbled upon it again today (it’s almost too embarrassing to say how, but I’ll tell you anyway – it was via this site). I read this post, and I have to say that any prospective partner who reads the whole site is likely to be absolutely terrified! I know I would be. Anyone like Lyssa would scare the pants off me, but then I’m a timid country fella, even if I do wear a lot of black clothing.

    this is proving to be a long day.
