my friend Bora is famous
my friend Bora is famous for his pearls of wisdom – usually they leave his audience either in stunned silence or fits of laughter. these are from an AIM conversation we had earlier today:
on growing older: “when you know you’re gonna hit the big 30 it makes you think a bit more about life and less about the birds and the bees”
on Kev’s love life: “i hear kev didn’t get laid AGAIN, couldn’t you find someone for the old boy?”
on giving up his restaurant business: “finished! new bora looking for new work and new woman to have new fun !”
now, be honest Bora – aren’t the last two statements incompatible with the first one? -
how many readers of this
how many readers of this blog work in a workplace that has a resident cat? or dog? or any other sort of animals for that matter? ooooo – I feel the first Grayblog poll coming on! but because I was stingy and didn’t purchase the CGI option from my host, you’ll just have to mail in your votes using these links:
>my office has a cat
>my office has a dog
>my office has fish
>my office has another type of animal (specify what it is in the body of your mail)
>my office has no animals other than the employees/boss
get your replies in by 0900GMT Monday, and I’ll collate the results and post them here. comments in the body of your mails are welcome. incidentally, my office has a cat, Seamus (when you get there, click on “our cats” from the menu bar to see a pic of Seamus). -
traffic report: if you are
traffic report: if you are thinking of travelling through this part of the Sussex coast anytime in the next few days…FORGET IT. it’s hell out there. the B2166, A27 and A29 are all completely shut, so all the traffic has been shoved onto the A259, with the result that Bognor is gridlocked, no-one going anywhere. it took my brother ten minutes to get from the Hotham Park roundabout to the Butlins roundabout. that’s a distance of roughly 200 yards.
of course, this is having a disastrous effect on local trade. I went late night shopping in Chichester last night. given that there is only one more late shopping night before Christmas, it was amazingly quiet – I don’t think I have ever seen it so quiet on a late shopping night – terrible. -
my office faces south. in
my office faces south. in summer it gets blindingly hot. in winter, it is cold and the sun shines right in my window and into my eyes. being typically British, even though we haven’t seen the sun for about three months, I’m still able to whinge about it.

Tests for pop singers in
Tests for pop singers in Iran – I think more governments should adopt this policy.

webcam update: if you look
webcam update: if you look at the Chichester webcam after dark (when the lights are on in the office), you can see reflections in the window of the office – take a close look at that poster on the wall above the desk. I wonder if the council know that that is on their website? Looks like a bit of a condensation problem on that window too.
