Well i've finally signed up. My initial observation is that lots of people who I never got on with at school now want to be my mate. Which is nice. Still, at least there is an ignore button. I still have abosolutely no interest in what someone I went to school with (but never exchanged a civil word with) 20 years ago had for their tea. And no, I don't want to look at your holiday photos either as I couldn't give a **** whether you went to Butlins or the Bahamas.
On a completely unrelated note, I saw a midget/dwarf (or was it a goblin?) carrying a Primark bag the other day. This reminded me of the time I saw one on a BMX. Bloody good fit for the lad it was too.

KR's
As I approach 40, I've reached a stage where pretty much everything gets on my tits to some extent.
My pet hate for the day is people who sign off e-mails by putting KR's after their name. As I understand it, KR's is an abbreviation for kind regards. You put it at the bottom of your e-mails as a platitude after explaining why you haven't completed the urgent task that they have been nagging you about for weeks.
However, typing kind regards is very onerous (I've just typed it twice and am now knackered) so you just put KRs. What this says to me is "I would like to offer you my kindest regards. However, I'm not that bothered about doing so. At least I'm not so bothered that I can be arsed to type it out." What is really galling is that people use the automatic signature thing in Outlook and have it as part of that. They don't even have to type it, just hit the button, and they still can't be arsed. Thanks. Thanks a ****ing bunch.
Today I get one signed off saying "Best". Nothing else, just the body of the message, "Best" and the person's name. Best what? George Best? Best Bitter? Best deals on carpets?

People who can't park
I'd just like to say thanks to the bell-end who parked next to my car at work this morning. I've had a bad back all week and clambering into my car from the passenger side made it soooo much better!
My car is the blue Alfa and the photo actually makes the gap look bigger than it is.

America
Land of the free, home of the quite staggeringly stupid:

Monks
I started this blog with a fascinating tale of a bloke having a wee near Bolton Abbey. I have now decided to make tales of urination an occasional feature. Yesterday, my son and I were paying a visit at Exeter services on the M5. Also making use of the facilities were two monks. Both were wearing sunglasses but one had Crocs on which rather detracted from the overall effect.
