It's leap day, and they say that people who are born on the leap day only have a birthday once every 4 years. That sounds cool when you're growing up, but the more you think about it the worse it sounds.
You only get a quarter of the birthday gifts through your life that the average person get. Yeah, technically you are younger, but that means you have to be alive for 72 years before you are aloud to drink. And you can't have sex till you are 64, and by then all the totty your age ain't looking too hot.
The poor little leaper, eh.

Just been reading about Nell McAndrew doing a topless run for charity.
It's a good job the people who stop you on the high street on behalf of charities aren't into that.
"Excuse me sir, do you have a moment for Save The Planet? You do? Good, now strip to your Y-front and run, fool!"
Think of all the money Jody Marsh could've raised, if only she would have bothered to get some sponsorship.

You're A Postie
Everyone these days is a blogger. It's like reality TV stars, you can't spit without hitting one.
But the good thing about us bloggers is that we tend to read more blogs too. So there's a good chance this is going out to my blogger brethren right now.
If you are a blogger I guess you're into paid blogs. If you are have a look at posties.us which is a forum for posties, by posties. It has some interesting topics which you can go and read, or even sign up and join in.
There are enough of us to make a good community on the internet now. And unlike reality TV star, we tend to keep our undies on. And trust me, that's a good thing.

Finance
Finance is a bit of a tricky area. It's all finned with phrases you can't quite fully understand. It's all 'apr' this, 'market' that, and as for double-entry.
It can be so confusing that you could make mistake and cost yourself money.
The best thing to do is to get some advice. Have a look at the George Divel website georgedivel.com
He's a personal investment advice expert and has been providing financial counselling since 1998.

So, there was an Earthquake in the UK, and I was awake for it. It was at 1am and as I was sat here there were a rattling and a deep rumble, and I thought the only thing I could at the time...
"Oooh, I don't remember eating that!"
But we all survived. It was 5.1 on the thingy scale. That's about the same as when Vanessa Feltz tips over.

Earn Time
I think I love the internet. Not in that way! Well, OK, on some sites it's in that way, but as a general concept it's an admiring love.
The good thing about the internet is that you can get it at home. I know, that seems like an odd thing to say, but it wouldn't be that tricky to imaging a world where company computers were the only ones that had web access. Like when fax machines came out, it was a business only thing.
But because the internet, which is a great business tool, is accessible to people at home it means it's possible to make money at home.
So if you're a person who is at home a lot and has a bit of free time you could earn some more money, and most of us could certainly do with a little extra.
There's a DataEntryCompany at the website dataentrycompany.com where you can find out details about one of the ways you can make money. It offers interactive tutorials so you can find out about how to earn as a data inputter.
One of the testimonials on the sites says that one person got $500 over one week. That's certainly more that you get sitting around doing nothing.
The good thing about that site is that it is easy to get your head around. And the money is good. For example, the pay mentioned on the site is between $25 and $50 an hour. So if you are someone who has the spare time at home and you are interested in finding out about learning how to earn have a look at that site.
In fact you'll earn enough to be able to buy yourself your own fax machine at home if you want. Yeah, you show those 90's workers who's the man!

I've just watched an episode of Numb3rs. He solves crime through maths. Not through science, which would be believable, no he uses maths. I'd believe pretty much anyone using any GCSE subject to solve crime, but not maths.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love maths. But do you think a little bit of trig is going to catch a criminal? The guy on the show used some statistics to catch a murderer.
Come on. I did A-level and we didn't even get to solve a small theft case.

Diamonds Are Everyone's Friend
You know how they say diamonds are a girl's best friend? (And a dog is man's best friend, so I think we got the rubbish end of that deal).
Doesn't it seem odd that you would give something that's a better friend than you will ever be to the woman you want to marry? Maybe it's like, "See, look at this ring, it's your best friend. I've got tons of them back here, so how's about you marry me."
Either way it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that when you give Diamond Engagement Rings you're saying something rather special. You don't want to propose in any other way. You want it to be the moment she'll remember for the rest of her life, and let's be honest, you hope for her it's worth all the waiting.
I've been looking into rings. Diamonds-USA has a great site for diamond engagement rings. Have a look through their selection.
Oh, but make sure you delete your browser history, because you want it to be a surprise for her too.

Someone at work today said that the number of keys you have relates directly to how important you are.
I disagree, mainly because I only have three keys in my pocket at any one time. That's car, work (front door) and home (front door).
And surely the man with the most keys is the guy who works in Mr Minute, and I don't think he's the most important level in society.

And by the same measure the house I live in is also biodegradable.

I can tell I'm in need of a holiday. I was thinking about the next big thing in my diary that I am looking forward to, and it's Christmas.So I've been thinking of what kind of getaway I need. A friend of mine just got back from a skiing holiday. I want me some of that.
I want to be staying in luxury chalets in Courchevel, France, or enjoying the snow in St Anton, Austria.
And obviously I'd love to be making a few 'off piste' based jokes as I enjoy my break popping in for drinks in the nearby Luxury ski chalets.
If you need one too have a look at Supertravel. It'sUK-based and they do Luxury Skiing holidays to places like Meribel, France.

Today I sold my copy of 8-Mile. I've been selling off some of my CDs and DVDs to declutter my life.
I feel sad I let that one go because it's a very fitting story for me. In it a boy from a rough background makes it out of the slums of Detroit using his skills in rapping.
In my life I made it out of the northern town of Mansfield using my skills in chemistry.
And yet they don't make a film about me, eh?

Well, Valentine's Day is over. It's odd that when you're at school there seems be to a big deal about how many cards you get. It's all very competitive. "Oooh, I got the most because I got 10 today!"
Now as an adult in a long-term relationship, if I got more than just the one, I'd be sleeping on the sofa.
Odd that.

Time for another of my little daily brain unloads.
Tomorrow is Valentines Day. It's like a day where you get cards and gifts. In many ways it's like Christmas.
Although if you get as many Valentines cards as you did Christmas cards you're a slut.
And if you get as many cards from your family as you did at Christmas, call the police.
I'm off to make a shopping list for tomorrow...
Card
Chocolates
Roses that cost about three times as much as they normally do
The card and the chocolates you can buy ahead of time to avoid the price hike, but I once tried to buy the roses three weeks before. Let's just say giving your true love a dozen dead stems doesn't get you much action later that night.

I've just been working out in the mini-gym. It seems odd that I go to one room of the house to make myself sweat, and then shower and spray on cake loads of antiperspirant to make sure I don't sweat again for the rest of the day.
If I don't find time to gym one day do you think I could just not wash for a while? Would that still keep me healthy?
One of the countries in Europe that has a lower than UK level of heart disease is France.

I found my name listed on the website of a comedy club I've never played at today.
It's all very odd. I don't know what's going on there. My only explanation is that I must've blacked out (even thought I don't do that), driven up to Nottingham, performed a set, driven back, and woken up none the wiser.
Or I have a Fight Club style secondary personality. Although if my alter ego is another stand-up comedian called Steve Allen, it goes to show I have a severe lack of imagination.

We were talking at work today about those mosquito things that are designed to make teenager move away. It's a high pitched noise making device, they don't actually set a swarm of blood sucking ticks on the yobs. (Although, write it down as an idea...)
It produces a note so high only people under 25 can hear it. And the teenagers have been moaning that it's not fair.
Well, I've reached the age where I can't walk up stairs without getting a high pitched ringing in my ears, and I can't sue the Government about it, so maybe they should stop moaning.

I haven't shaved for a few days now, and I love it.
There's something quite liberating about not joining in with society's facial expectations. And I also think it's a money saving tip.
You save on the razors and the shaving foam, plus it makes it far less likely you'll get mugged. I don't have any evidence to back that up, but it seems to make sense. If you were a mugger would you mug someone who was clean shaven who probably has a good job and earns well, or a beardy man who might live in a cardboard box?
Sorted.

It was only the other weekend I was sorted out my tax. I'm now thinking I could've saved myself a lot more money. I tend to just say what I earned and pay the full whack. But I should get into this "tax deductible" lark.
You can claim for the money spent on things that are used in the doing of your work.
So I should be able to claim for...
Petrol to the stand-up gigs
Wet wipes in case I get too sweaty up on stage
Anger management courses to stop me hitting bosses
Chewing gum (because I have to look cool to do what I do)
Cotton buds (being a DJ doesn't half make your ears make more wax - you needed that into didn't you)
Condoms (because I tell so many sex jokes on stage)
And drugs
So, wish me luck for next year's tax return.

People with things on their t-shirts kind of bother me.
ASDA were selling ones saying, "Drink till she's attractive". Now, who's that aimed at?
If you actually want that advice yourself there's no point having that on your own shirt. Not only are you not able to look at it because your head is above it, but if you look at it in a mirror it will just read...
"Evitcatta s'hes llit knird."
Although that's probably equally valid dating advice.
So clearly those t-shirts are for us to read. So you're saying I'm the one who needs to drink till someone becomes attractive? I'll have you know that I don't need drink. I have the skill of thinking I'm with someone else just by closing my eyes.
Now who's the loser?
It's still me, isn't it?

This island that they are lost on seems to be getting bigger and bigger. It now has another island isn't just off its coast. It has cars, electricity, and a big war going on between the normal people who have visited it and the scary locals.
It's kind of like the Isle Of Wight.

I spotted a great thing in a little catalogue that came with a newspaper today. You know, the little booklet that falls out the paper and it's filled with little gadgets you don't really need.
There was a TV watching blanket. It's a blanket to sit under while you're sat on the sofa and it has pockets at the top to put the remote control in. Yep, when you're sat on your lardy backside the last thing you want to do is accidentally burn off some calories by having to 'lean across' to pick up the remote control.
Seriously, if you find yourself ever thinking, "well, if would save me the hassle of leaning over two times a night" you really should give up right there and then and go and lie in the road.

Evolution is a great thing. I'm all for Darwin. I don't really have much time for the creationist view, or that is should be taught in schools.
But there's one bit of evolution that gets me. The eyelash.
Everything is meant to have evolved to serve a purpose. The role of the eyelash is to stop things getting into the eye. The eye after all is a very sensitive organ.
So what's the one thing that you get stuck in your eye the most?
The eyelash!

I'm planning to declutter my life a low. I'm selling off a lot of the CDs and DVDs I have. I'm also selling some books (some I've ready, but some I haven't as I'd make a profit on them).
And there's one thing I'm learning about selling off your stuff. It really feels good when it was a present. You paid nothing and you're getting all the cash.
Especially when it's someone you're not in touch with anymore. I've taken that relationship and converted it into money. That's got to be good for the soul

Just got back from the supermarket and normally they give you a token when you leave so you can park for free next time.
They've stopped doing that because they've run out of tokens. That must mean people are keeping them.
Why would someone try to build a stash of those? Do they plan on saving up so many and then one day turn up and reserve all the parking spaces?
It would take a while, but it would be worth it.
