First week back at work for many of us and wasn't it all just a big pile of crap.

I know let's all get shit faced, well I would too if I wasn't an ancient hypertensive, still a few drinks are good for high blood pressure.

On the plus side I have lost about six pounds since I have been on the medication.

Must go and put the guinea fowl in the oven.

While driving through East London this morning we passed through the Ken Livingstone Memorial Games Park and traffic chaos as usual, only to discover that the fence surrounding the huge pile of dirt is now being expensivly clad in yet more laminated boards to show all of us happy people what a smashing idea the Games are.

Now how many more Walnut Whips (a very retro knid of confectionery if I may say so Ken) are Londoner's goung to have to fork out for to pay for these lavishly designed and no doubt very expensive bits of window dressing for Livingstone and Coe's folly. We all know the games are going ahead, whether we wanted them or not, and we all know its costing us shedloads of public money, but why is more of our cash being wasted on this kind of puffery.

Oh yes, some advice just in from Cook, Gravy and Tartarre Image Consultants Ltd. "Its always a good idea to make a client think everything is great by spending a lot of his money on vanity products, (especially logos) and then charge him lots for telling him about it too."
