Congratulations

To our friends Pippa and Dave on the birth of their, yet to be named, baby girl yesterday afternoon.

Statistically speaking

100% of all the actuaries I have dealt with today are thick.

Questions and answers

I just replied to a business email with the words "Sex and Smoking". A small prize for the bright spark who can guess what the question was.

Teaching one oh one

Cathy went to a meeting at Guildford College yesterday morning and came away with a class to teach. Starting today. As I type, she is in the first half hour of teaching a bunch of eleven or so sixteen to nineteen year olds about Graphic Design. Kids who, for various reasons, didn't come out of school very well: a couple of them have Asperger's Syndrome, a couple of them are dyslexic and the rest have various assorted problems. The course has no curriculum, the financial rewards are non existent. My wife impresses the crap out of me sometimes.

Big up Sista!

Why

Can't I find a poppy seller?

Comment spam

I don't need diet pills, I don't want to use an online casino, I (currently) have no use for viagra so it annoys the hell out of me when spammers try to hijack my blog to peddle, this crap. If you use enetation, help is at hand in the shape of the enetation SPAM killer by Dreu. It does exactly what it says on the packet and it's free to download, which is rather nice. Now we just need to tweak it a little bit so that it becomes an enetation SPAMMER killer which send 50,000 volts up them.

Dreu also has a rather cool blog/photoblog/web sitey thang.

Thanks Dreu
