The week end is here, at last.  I don't know how you lot manage to work 5 days a week.  It was lovely finishing early Tuesday but it wasn't worth the pain of having to go in to work this morning. 

At least we're on strike next Wednesday.  Although it's not easy trying to find out what we're actually striking for.  Apparently amongst other things we're paid 21% less than comparable workers in the private sector. Of course we deserve it and of course we almost certainly won't get any pay rise at all but I'll enjoy the extra day off nonetheless and worry about losing a days pay at the end of the month.  Work is for suckers anyway.

Just watched Question Time on catch up.  The panel was made up of that fella who always comments on the Cvil Sevice, Francis Maude, Dragon's Den's (apparently) Theo Paphitis and the actually quite convincing Chucka Umunna.  It was broadcast from Wales so they also had somebody from the Welsh Nationalists and the leader of the Welsh Lib Dems

Fact of the day - Apparently Question Time's been on the go since September 1979.  It might be worth remembering, you never know it might come up in a tie break some time.

I started watching it again after a break of many years about 6 weeks ago but it's just the same old shit infantile political point scoring every week as it ever was.  The Daily Telegraph made a fair point about Stephen Twigg's nose on last week's show, that was pretty good but to be honest I'd rather sit and watch a still photograph of Robin Day's grave for an hour.  I'm going back to re-runs of The Big Bang theory and my Curb Your Enthusiasm DVD's.

Off to see Mike in Sheffield tomorrow with Chris and might buy a new computer.  We'll see.

I'll just leave you with this.
