Make Me Smile
Well. I was in a bad mood yesterday wasn't I. Quite a lot of effing and blinding as well I see. Ah well, I can only blame myself. I really shouldn't let fireworks, capitalism and yobbish behavior get me down. Happy thoughts from now on.
This alleged rape case has caused a bit of a stir among the legal profession. A "well known" football supporter's website was closed for a while yesterday as its messageboards were full of speculation naming certain players and their clubs. M'learned friends are already warning of possible prejudicial reporting jeopardising the outcome of any trial that may result from the allegations.
The only problem here is that the UKs legal remit doesn't run to other countries. I'm sure it won't be long (indeed it could already have happened) before a foreign news agency posts the names. Certainly everyone I've spoken to about this has named the same players. Coincidence ? Somehow I doubt it.
I see Tony's "not for turning". Oh no...sorry that's not what he said was it? "I can only go one way. I've not got a reverse gear". I'd get one quick if I were you. that's a brick wall you're speeding towards.
What will history make of him? I think we'll actually find out a lot sooner than normal - certainly regarding Iraq anyway. Tony has been that tied up with Dubya that a lot of the truth will out from across the pond where the freedom of information laws are robust enough to almost guarantee an early release of papers relating.
What gets me about Mr Blair is this holier than thou confessional tone he adopts when he tells you *honestly* that *you know* he truly believes that Saddam had WMDs that could be engaged in 45 minutes. He's just not that stupid. If he is then he's not fit to be PM. Whichever he's certainly not fit to get my vote again.
Plenty of bangs and flashes again tonight as firework frenzy takes hold. Nice to see the local paper trying to do something about it.
Jesus was a Capricorn
Where does the phrase "Creeping Jesus" come from? It's one of those things I've used all my life without ever being curious enough to find out about it. It's just that...well...we've got one at work. A Creeping Jesus that is. One minute he's not there and the next he frightens the life out of you by appearing from nowhere.
This trait (along with a few others) has made him the official most-annoying-man-in-the-office. Creepin' is one of those irritating people who have no charisma. I was going to say that he also had no self-awareness, but the fact that he's aware enough of his baldness to resort to a "comb-over" would seem to indicate otherwise.
Creepin's other party tricks include talking very loudly about other places he's worked and how he had such a great time and was very good at his job. Hard to believe, given his personality bypass and inabilty to grasp the simplest of facts.
Today his quest was to mither me about a PC I was rebuilding. I had told him it would be a couple of hours. Every 15 minutes or so he would *appear* just behind me.
"Is it ready yet?"
"No. I told you it would be a couple of hours".
"Ok."
This was repeated at least 5 times. It was like taking your kids to the seaside:
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?".
After I'd finally got rid of him the origins of Creepin' Jesus began to perplex me. Any ideas?
