I just read an article in The Sun (whilst waiting for the barber to cut my hair)
which said that PEADOPHILES were giving phone messages to CHILDREN who they were GROOMING with the GPS already ACTIVATED so they could TRACK THEM ONLINE.

Typical non-sensational journalism, then?

I also heard that David Haye was coming out of Retirement to fight Vitali Klitchko.
Which is good news I guess.

Thank you for your lovely card, by the way. It arrived on Tuesday.

Oh good, I was worried it had either not turned up
or you were even ruder than me and weren't acknowledging the effort I had gone to to apologise.

It's in pride of place on the bookcase.
Plus I've not been on the internet much the last couple of days owing to jobsearch activity stuff, of which I'm hoping something might have come off thanks to a series of small and hopefully fortuitous coincidences.

By come off, I do of course mean that I'm wanking as I type.

Yes, I saw your hopeful sounding status this morning
Hope it works out.

Thanks old bean.
The job will be working with a former colleague and mate, doing his job 2 days a week while he's seconded on other duties. I found the ad on the NHS website, he posted something on my FB status, I messaged him, then rang him to check whether it would be worth my applying as it was asking for specific knowledge in transport policy, which I don't have. His response was "bollocks to that, as long as you do a bit of research on the subject".

Also, the missus may have been potentially headhunted by an acquaintance to go work in a school that will actually pay her a commensurate wage for her mad skillz and autism knowledge, so she's just sent her CV through today. So things are looking up a bit. Woo.

Excellent News!

Indeed.
I'm pleased I remembered to check the NHS site for jobs as I've been meaning to do it for weeks and kept forgetting. I saw the ad and thought "that's xxxx's job, surely", and then he just happened to pop up on line. Then later that night our acquaintance popped up on FB asking the missus to contact him urgently about a potential job. She likes where she is, and it's only a 10 minute journey but the money is dire.

He's only been retired a few weeks.

Yeah, but I did think it was just a publicity stunt
given that Vitali had already pretty much agreed that they could have a match up.

There is so much wrong with this post
a) Why were you reading The Sun?
b) Why would you pay someone to advance the course of nature?
c) Your face

Okay
a) because I was bored and it was that or the Daily Mail
b) because I have adopted the close crop to minimise future embaressment
c) that's fucking rich coming from you, don't make me post that picture of you in your "culture slut" T-shirt.
