There are a number of reasons for this which I shall not bore you with, for they are indeed incredibly boring.
For a moment this morning I was cheered - but all too briefly - as I scanned this evening's television listings and saw this:

I had a heavy night on Thursday that kyboshed both Friday and Saturday, I felt reet grand on Sunday and started on the beers'n'smoke about 3pm. This was pleasant enough until about 3am, leaving me a few hours respite till I had to get up for fucking work.
This week will see me a week closer to dying, and that's the only thing I will achieve. Well, that and perhaps sorting the insurance out on my bust laptop.
