Theres something very exciting about getting a package thru the door that you weren’t expecting. Even if it was only a free t-shirt.

And now the head of Blogger has linked me. My life is officially complete.

New British car number plates are starting in 10 days time. Why?! Anyway, here’s the lowdown.

Today I had a haircut. It wasn’t exciting, I’ll admit. This follicle massacre took a strangely unusual turn, though. The local barbers a good ‘un – never fails in the face on my awful thatch, but as I sat down to wait, I noticed a WOMAN in charge. Drafted in to cover my barbers dentist appointment, apparently. About time too. So, I merrily chatted, her cutting away, until there was a ring on her fone. It turned out to be a recent ex. “You WHAT?” she suddenly screamed – and promptly left the building. With my hair half cut. I gave up 10 minutes later.

Still, half a haircut for free, whoop-dee-do.

It’s struck me (ow…) that when people say “the IT employment market is a little competitive at the moment”, they really AREN’T JOKING. My uncanny knack for timing goes as follows.
June 1997 – Enroll for Business IT course at the University of Portsmouth.
October 1999 – Start and finish year’s placement with IT firm with the words, “You’ll find it easy to get a job with your skills – the market’s gagging for you lot at the moment” ringing in my impossibly happy ears.
June 2001 – Technology ‘bubble’ bursts. Tech stocks begin to tumble….
July 2001 – Graduate after 4 LONG years.
August 2001 – Not a sausage job-wise. IT companies laying off thousands. Experienced jobseekers win handsomely. Graduates don’t.

Welcome to the IT recession. It smells.

There are only so many times you can get bitten by a shark at the beach. (via toptenblog)

I’m going to have to make an informed decision on these two shortly. One might as well be Tony Blair, the other is just an older William Hague. Help.

Do you like the design, by the way? Tell me what you think. Be as cruel as you want – I know you will.

Play 3D Pong.
