I'm sort of glad I'm not the only person in the country losing money because I don't pay bills on time. It's complicated for me by people not paying me on time. I'm trapped in some sort of debt spiral.

Now that all the faux patriotism is out of the way, I really want to get the Union Jack pisspot helmet I saw in Exit, and the pair of Etnies Lo-Cuts with the UJ in the E logo.

Today I spent six and a bit hours in a car to and from Leicester for a meeting which lasted, at most, an hour. I could have teleconferenced.

So, my sister has a digital camera and my mother has a digital camera, leaving my father and I as the only ones with film cameras. I think somethings wrong there.

In amongst the big box o' stuff I had delivered from home were several copies of Deadline. The one from June 1993 had a questionnaire in it. I thought I'd go back over it and do a then and now (on the non Deadline ones, seeing as it's not around any more)-

4 Currently
T- Employed full time- University sabbatical officer
N- Employed full time (for the next fortnight)- IT thingummy

T- Manchester
N- Manchester
6 Where do you live?
T- Rented house/ flat
N- Rented house/ flat (but this one's not a share)
7 Who would you prefer to sleep with? (from a list of Glyn Dillon/ Keanu Reeves/ Our sad ad manager/ Winona Ryder/ Neither- my girlfriend, boyfriend, dog would freak)

N- Winona Ryder
8 How often do you go to the following-

Today, according to the timesheets my old boss dug out a couple of months ago, is my four year anniversary with The Gas. For a while I was toying with making this my last day, but I procrastinated to the point where I still have another fortnight to go. Ho hum.
Fruitbat, of old faves Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, is putting their old sampler up for sale. The jury is still out, however, on 1992, one of the albums it was used to make.

I've managed to get the first 37 plotted pages down to 27 of layouts, which suggests a finished product of about 96 pages, a popular size for 'graphic novels'.

Two long days in Leicester. You quit because there's not enough to do and suddenly it's the busiest it's ever been. Iguess that's irony.
