topic for discussion – will the internet put stand-up comedians out of a job? for example, the whole US presidential thing has to be a goldmine for jokes – but we’ve all read them already, including that whole sketch about the Queen revoking American independence. in fact, we’ve not only read them, we’ve read them five times! the next person to send me the revocation post will be shot.

AW had a strange dream last night in which Kev had a green plastic watering can rose instead of a nose. (for those that do not know, the rose is the bit you put on the spout of the watering can that makes the water go “sprinkle sprinkle” instead of “GUSH“). apparently he was quite perturbed by this, but everyone was telling him that it was alright really.
the question is, what does it mean? ideas?

quote from John Peel – “the football result was Italy 1 – England 0….which under the American system is a win for England”. guffaw

right – have fiddled with the design a bit and made it look a bit smarter. whaddya reckon?

now here’s something to scare you….the Nuclear Blast Mapper. type in the location of a local military installation or important government office, choose a type of nuclear weapon, and then click “detonate” to see if your house still exists. I tried a 25 megaton air detonation on the naval base in Portsmouth (which, if I was in charge of the enemy, would be near the top of my list) – looks like Chichester would be reduced to rubble, and 50% of the populace dead or injured. And then there is the DERA site at Funtington – try a puny 1 megaton ground explosion there – ooops, I’m wiped out again.
hmm – time to start work on the bunker, methinks. on the plus side, it would probably clear out the blockage in my central heating.

further british gas update – they can’t get an engineer out to me until…wait for it…11th December. guh again. still, I’ve gone ahead and booked it, otherwise I may have to wait until Christmas! cost – £67. ugh.

british gas update – they have a nice friendly ad in the phone book, a local rate phone number……..and it’s engaged. guh. so much for customer service.

my flat is unbelievably damp at the moment – and I’m not even near the flooding. this is a two-part problem, partly caused by the dilapidated condition of my glazing (which needs to be replaced) and partly by the dysfunctional state of the radiator in the bedroom. that and the fact that my flat is old. and damp. so today’s mission is to contact british gas and get some nice man to come out and fix the rad. progress reports will be posted here in the time-honoured fashion.

TPL – 33 points this week, taking my total to 326. Doubt that that is enough to move me up from my mediocre 19th position in our league.

Robyn has pigtails. AW has taken to this form of hair lately too, and in combination with her combats, her shiny pvc top and her wicked grin, it makes her look like an All Saint. which is kinda groovy – I like being an All Saint’s boyfriend. I’ll have to see if I can get a pic for you all.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Robyn has asked that we make clear that she is not Graybo’s girlfriend. That honour falls to Andrea (AW) and Andrea alone. However, the editorial staff at Grayblog insist that the above post is in no way ambiguous. We are sure our readership will agree.
