Termination of Employment

Well, it doesn't feel as long as 11 months since I started my current job (which is party due to the fact that is has been just under 11 months) and today is my last day at work. I handed my notice in a few weeks back and this day seemed like ages away at the time. Well, now it's here. It's pretty wierd having less and less involvement with the projects I've been working on as my work get handed over to colleagues for them to continue with, meaning today I'm actually going to have to make an effort to find something to do. Sounds sad I know, but I enjoy applying myself and getting a job done rather than sitting around and not being much use to anyone.

I'm having a week's break back in my home town, and then the following Monday morning I start my new job. It's going to be so cool. Tomorrow night a bunch of new joiners are meeting up in London to break the ice a bit, so hopefully I'll get to meet a few new people and maybe even bump into someone I already know.

Wish me luck...

Check out everbody's favourite Robots in Disguise when they bust a few moves. Superb.

Graffiti Archaeology

The study of graffiti-covered walls as they change over time.

To me, graffiti is one of those things that can look really cool when done in the right place with a lot of hard work. But then some little shit goes and "tags" the wall of your house, which of course requires no skill whatsoever and looks awful. Idiots.

Awesome. I want one.

You've got a pet halibut?

I am not a looney! Why should I be tied with the epithet looney merely because I have a pet halibut? I've heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabarro has a pet prawn called Simon and you wouldn't call him a looney; furthermore, Dawn Palethorpe, the lady show-jumper, had a clam, called Stafford, after the late Chancellor, Alan Bullock has two pikes, both called Chris, and Marcel Proust had an haddock! So, if you're calling the author of 'A la recherche du temps perdu' a looney, I shall have to ask you to step outside!

So now I know who John Cleese is refering to in that sketch.

What game is Saddam playing at?

I've read a few things about the recent court appearace of Saddam Hussein.

I've also found what most accounts seem to have left out: rock, paper, saddam.

I'd only heard of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock, Lizard until now.

Yes, I realise the history and recent events in Iraq are hardly a laughing matter, so all the more reason for some humourous anecdotes to counteract the endless tales of misery from over there.
