Confusion Reigns Supreme

I'm going to shut up shop for a while for personal and technical reasons.

The technical reason is to repair the damage that occurred even before the tagging debacle.
The personal reason is just that. Personal.

I'll be back. Hopefully sometime soon.

This applies to all my blogs.

Catch you all later, unless you're on Facebook. In which case, I'll see you next time you gift me a bloody pizza.

November 5: Piglet Flu

During times of pandemic, the common flu is known as Piglet Flu. While less deadly than Swine Flu it still makes you feel like shit. However, because it is not infamous like swine flu you get no respect from having it. So you feel like crap and no one gives a damn because you don't have h1n1.

Doctor: How do you feel.
Patient: Like shit.
Doctor: Well the tests came back, you don't have swine flu. So get the hell out you lazy good for nothing bastard. Come back with a real illness.

Patient (as he is thrown out) But i really do have the flu. Even if it is only piglet flu.

Date: Saturday 28th November 2009
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Horsell Common

I'll be there! My first archaeological dig, organised by HCPS, of the two tumuli on the common just about a mile from where I live.

What's this? I hear you, me beloved readers, ask. Has NotBob gone mad? We all know his main interests are science, rock music, drinking and moaning about work! Why the sudden interest in archaeology?

I think it's down to watching hours and hours of Time Team.

Note how many of those are song titles from The Ferret. Now I can't add a song title index widget on that blog. This is most annoying.

And the same goes for a list of artists, should I ever feel the need to post anything by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.

I've just tried to access an app in Facebook and got this result:

Actually, I'm using Google Chrome.

Amazing new detailed images of Mercury have just been released by NASA.

Now, I don't pretend to know much about poker, but this has to be the worst way to lose a tournament...

Blimey! He's got about as much luck as me!

Here's an interesting approach...

My response -

Well, with my very limited grasp of German I can tell that the greeting starts with a friendly "Hello, love" but anything past that is beyond me although by some of the content I can tell it's a bog-standard "I would like loving relations with you" style scam.

Nice try, but I shall remain blessed by my confusion and complete lack of comprehension...

Yes! It's British Sausage Week!

In order to celebrate the Great British Banger tonight I decided to dine on three Lincolnshire sausages with chips, peas, sweetcorn and a fried tomato with a dash of sweet chilli sauce to dip me sausage in.

It was lovely!
