Bash was good although there were two big disappointments.

2) Wanderlust isn't a 57 year old (male) paedophile.

Doesn't surprise me really. I'm usually one of two things: Almost completely oblivious to everything that's going on around me or so alert and perky that I notice everything and start talking about it no matter how trivial/boring/stupid it is.

Minor rant: Why are people dicks? I have a proper job to do, yet my morning so far has been taken up by the News Editor whinging that she doesn't have the right version of Outlook (until 2 days ago, I was the only outlook user in the company). She wants us to shell out on a whole new Office package for her (she's in Edinburgh and we're in London), and steadfastly refuses, for some reason, to just fucking well use Outlook Express. I have repeatedly explained how to access other e-mail accounts this way. I have even offered to go to Edinburgh and do it for her, the dozy bint. But NOOO. She wants the full Office 2007 package and a good chunk of my fucking bonus. I am NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AT ALL.

He was allowed to look at them obviously though. He also totally failed to grasp my request to have Firefox instead of IE because "it is policy for everyone to have the same browser" I replied that Dave had IE, FF and Safari but "that's different because he has a mac" my request of having a mac was not accepted :(

Firstly, it said my proposal needs major modification to become acceptable. Not that bothered about that bit, as there are only 3 categories; acceptable, entirely unacceptable, or needs major modifications. I'll happily do the work to get it up to standard.
The second thing it told me is who my advisor is. Perhaps the most useless lecturer in the world. No-one comes to his lectures they are that bad.

be imaginging the petrol station thing.
As for the can of flies the possibilities seem endless. Although I think I've just thought of what I'd most like to do with them.
I'd love to drop a couple of freshly opened cans of flies AND maggots into one of those very annoying stretch limos full of screaming chavs you see driving through central London on a Saturday night.

I went to the pencil museum of my own free will when I was in the Lake District with Mrs V a few years ago.
