Feel like utter crap this morning
Burny eyes. Lethargic. Streaming eyes. I don't normally get hayfever this bad. Then I see this : BBC News - Air pollution: High levels 'to spread across England' Could be worse, I could be sitting in Chile waiting for a Tsunami I suppose :rolleyes: -
Hot!
It's too damn hot. Clear blue sky, desert sun beating down high above. I'm sweating like Suity blindfolded and tied to a chair in a pie shop. I saw a little fella in orange burst into flames earlier. It's that hot. If you thought of your ring piece after a Phal, a quart of extra hot chilies and...- MarillionFan

#IfIWasWhite vs #IfIwasBlack
Is the trending on Twitter right now and is the big topic for this week (as all in the know Cukkers are aware). This debate just happened at the bar in the hotel I'm staying. A rather rambunctious individual at the bar sought my interaction. Having spotted him earlier trying to press on a...- MarillionFan

Surprise 'Go-Live' cake shenanigans

One week of iphone 5s ownership later
What I like: The speed. Using an iPhone 4 before. My goodness this thing is snappy. The camera rapid fire option. Press & hold and take several photos a second. Really good for capturing that instant when the bambino smiles. Voice texting. The new processor has obviously opened up voice...- scooterscot

Day 8 - visions of a totalitarian future
NI've managed to commit 2 h&s / security violations in one day. 1) left my jacket on the back of my chair. A permie (and I could see him thinking what he was going to say as he strolled towards me with his chest puffed out) told me I had to move it as I was jeopardising the safety of others... -
Ive heard it all now

JSA claim - hmm bit different this time
Bit more hassle than normal. This time the woman in the job centre insisted I had to select 2 more occupations rather than just IT. So I picked astronaut and taxidermist - she wasn't impressed. Also, apparently I've got to register for direct.gov job search or whatever. Did try to explain what...- psychocandy

Day 5: Zoco speaks his mind
So, day 5. Same old, same old and no login. They were, however, very insistent that I attended a meeting. So, I joined the rest of the team in a large room upon one of whose walls was a large notice board with the caption "Our Community" running across the top of it. Upon the board were...
