Waking up and getting up in the mornings has never been easy for me, apart from on the odd occasion when the clock radio has done its job and something I hear in the news makes me so furious that I am propelled in a state of disbelieving fury from my moribund state.
It's normally politicians or religious twits that have this effect, but today, whilst the mental shutters always come down at the mention of sport and the Olympics in particular, something seeped through this morning. It was the idea that yet another over-funded under-brained sporting organisation is actually setting targets for UK medals in the games. That is just so risibly stupid on so many levels that I shan't even try to begin to expand my thought processes on this one. Count yourselves lucky. I'm beginning to sound like Marcus Brigstocke!
And on a note related to the previous post, Southern Electric keep sending us free energy saving lightbulbs, so they can't be all bad, although Southern Water have just sent us a bill from our neighbour's meter and it takes sending an operative from Siemens to ascertain that we're not entirely stupid and can read our own meter serial number accurately.
OK, rant over. But there'll be more, I just know there will.
Everyone enjoy their day now.

Countdown to 24 hour crap and boredom on telly imminent - instead of just 23 hours as the regular schedule offers.

We are planning to do something useful with our evenings 'til the whole tedious shebang is over. Starting with putting down a new floor in the office, and working up from there. Much better to know we've achieved something at the end of it, than slumping in front of world class doping, throwing cans of Kestrel at the screen
