And you'll know if you read the main blog I write, I've been off caffeine for about a month now. I think I was addicted but I managed to go cold turkey with no worries.

I actually think breaking addictions might be one of my skills. It's tempting to start smoking just so I can quit with ease. And then, that way, when smokers moan, "I've tried quitting but you don't know how tough it is," I can say, "Yeah I do. I did that the other day. Next week I'm going to quit the brown sugar too."

If I could be an animal which would I be?

Well, not the chicken. Seriously, that's a bad piece of Darwinian evolution. Who's idea was it to evolve into an animal that just tastes so darned good?

Snails had the right idea. They taste minging.

Sadly they're so easy to catch they were bound to get eaten too.

Soy Milk

I read in the news that soy milk was linked to storing less fat around the middle, which is exactly what I want to do. So I've been having my cappuccinos with soy milk.

Can I just say this...

...it tastes like card.

There, I said it. I feel better now.

My Office

In my home office where I pretend to do all my work I've not switched to an energy efficient bulb in my desk lamp.

Now the very minimum of energy is used in this room, but the lamp and me.

Sweet.

Clocks

So, the clocks went back. And I hate it.

You get an extra hour that you don't even notice because you're asleep.

I plan to store up all my extra hours, and then 24 years from now, I get a day to myself.

Sweet.

You Couldn't Direct Traffic

So, you've spent the summer watching Big Brother. You wish you could put words in the mouths of the contestants.

Amy: "No, no, no. I think you'll find the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides."
Gerry: "Look at the wangers on that."
Liam: "Why ay pet, put a little fishy on a little dishy, pet."
Ziggy: "Carole, hop on!"
The twins: "... (silence)"

Wouldn't that be sweet? Well, it won't happen. But you could direct your own version of a black and white film.

Coke zero (you know the one, real taste, zero sugar, so you don't end up a fat diabetic - what, I'm just being honest) have got a website www.zeroismore.com where you direct your own small movie. Why not have a go? You can make then say inappropriate things about your co-workers, or just get them to swear. (Oh come on, it is funny. Bumhole! There, see!)

I'm not saying that following my advice will get your clip to win in competition with the other clips (that happens on there), but I'd find them funny. You get to make life as it should be, where people say what you want them to. Oh, how I'd love that where I work.

If you do it and you make a good one, send it to me (ooh-er@bonbon.net).

Up Your Colon

I've just finished a radio shift and in the news they were saying standards in English are dropping with most school-age boys thinking punctuation is a chore.

I agree. I'm through with punctuation, period!
