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

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

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.

my stomach is convinced it is lunch time, even though that is not for another hour and a half.

apologies to the person I so expertly ignbored in the red Peugeot 205 who hooted her horn and waved vigorously at me this morning as I walked past the Job Centre on my way to the station. Sorry, I was in a foul mood. Besides, I couldn’t see who you were for the sun. Although you did seem to be female and possibly blonde, so do get in contact!

I’ve just eaten a plateful of pork spare ribs in fivespice sauce. Tasty.
But I’ve also just had one of those life-enhancing moments when a great truth has been revealed to me…..namely, spare ribs are the most pointless food ever. Any food that is around 75% bone has to be of questionable value. It certainly is a pain to eat the damn things, especially if you plan to eat them without covering yourself and every nearby horizontal and vertical surface with whatever sauce they are covered in.
So, I have decided. I intend never to eat spare ribs again.
Don’t get me wrong – kudos to Waitrose for selling very good, tasty spare ribs. But in future, I want my meat in convenient slabs, thank you.

Meg gets a pressie after praising e-street.com – given my previous post, I’m now waiting for nice things from BBC News Online. And, should they need help with suitable present ideas, they should look here or maybe even here.

In common with several other UKbloggers, I’ve been getting increasingly bored with Ananova‘s sensationalist tabloid style of reporting. The BBC Online news service is certainly superior, but I also rate the Telegraph‘s offering, even if you sometimes have to grit your teeth at the horrendous anti-European political bias. It does have the advantage of showing the work of Britain’s best newspaper cartoonist.

another cheery thing was that last night I went to see Paul F and Could Be Good play the newly refurbished and reopened Nags Head. The band were good, the beer was good and the pub looks good – so why were so few people there?
