****! I'm waiting for the Money Monday

Within 10 minutes of arriving I managed to get elbowed in the face twice, shoved despite standing out the way of someone, shoved in the back at least three times, given an evil look for saying "after you" to someone, barged past many a time and got shoved into the side of a moving tube train because I couldn't squeeze on it. The ****s:Decent People ratio is way, way, out of whack there - nobody ever said thank you over the three days I was there (other than the automated response of Tesco employees). As for worst places in the country: 1.London 2.Merthyr 3.Mansfield

Yeah, but they don't really lose their value much because of it.

London. I've never been anywhere so rude.

Most riders are pretty decent actually. You get the odd Rossi wannabe, but you wouldn't judge everyone who drives a car based on some muppets in a corsa with a subwoofer and a huge exhaust would you? 95%+ of bike overtaking manouvres are fine (and the rest are typically the previously mentioned Rossi-wannabes making moves on blind bends, not working their way past queues), "weaving in and out of traffic" is actually not bad either - the ideal with filtering is to stick between two lanes rather than weave across, but often you end up with idiots deliberately not allowing space so inevitably people will change lane and filter down another. The majority of riders take it careful and do it sensibly, there's no problem with it.

Positives: Got my insurance details changed at no extra cost. Negatives: AN HOUR ON HOLD. Also, being updated at no extra cost isn't so great when you realise that its now about ~£300 cheaper.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NATWEST, ONE WEEK WHERE YOU DONT fook EVERYTHING UP IS ALL I ASK. FOR ****S SAKES YOU USELESS TWATS.

fook YOU NAT WEST. GO BURN IN HELL BRITANNIA. Argh.

Potentially if its their boss' penis and the blackmail has failed?

Em. Ployed. WAHEY.

American Football shirts are always huge though, because of all the pads they fit over surely?

Haha, brilliant! Can't remember! Was either peas or beans, I think.

Still from a sweatshop, though.

Its hilariously daft. I just don't get it, its the most bizarre thing. I mean, random people in LA suddenly realising there's a team (or two, even) there going and getting one, yeah, but here? Just don't get it. Thing is, it just tempts me to get an old yellow-and-green one with Vagenas on the back, or a Rochester Raging Rhinos one - either something silly or something obscure, just to take the piss.

Quality film! I always found the bit where the hobo just wanders around in a suit with the cash buying random stuff far too funny. To go on a German films tangent from there, I watched Goodbye Lenin again the other day. Its absolutely brilliant, its cute and lovely, sad and hilarious. German comedy - awesome. Properly great, although when I showed it to a mate all he did was point out how much Daniel Bruhl looks like Tim Krul, Dutch U-21 / Newcastle goalkeeper. Constantly. To go off on another tangent from there, I saw The Edukators (which also has Bruhl in) in HMV today but they wanted an absurd amount for it, but its cheap on Amazon. Is it worth it? I've not seen the last Bourne film, but I thought the first two were pretty good action movies. Second one didn't do all that much original stuff and the shaky camera was ott, but the first I really enjoyed. Plus, as you may already have gathered from this post, Franka Potente

Bad Boys 2 is the brilliant kind of dreadful.

Why do recruitment consultants keep calling me up saying "we have a position, but you're not suitable for it, do you want us to send them this cv of yours we've found on the internet anyway?"

**** you NatWest. ****. You.

Fair enough, I did make an exception for blocking drives! It does sound a bit of a nightmare! There's some bint who lives down my road that gives you an earful if you park on the road in front of her house, yet manages to park in front of my neighbours repeatedly, and dents their car in the process. Irritating cow.

This is one of my pet hates, to be honest. Okay if its blocking a drive or a residents-only bit, but otherwise whats the fuss?

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 2:2!

So I'm about 8hrs away from being told I'm a massive failure! wahey! Also my bank are being a massive pain in the arse. Great. I'm also knackered, but too worried about tomorrow to be able to sleep, so I'm just dicking around in vc++ with ogre.

Well, its got to be better than Chelsea bloody Dagger.

Its weird more like, I just don't understand why anyone would do that - I mean, is it equidistant between Leicester and Lincoln or something?
