It appears we are going to be living in a police state before long.

The latest idea is for car insurance to be charged on an individual basis. Currently it’s just a trial, but it would appear that everyone (everyone except most of the public) is all for it.

The plan is to attach a tracker to everyone’s car. This will relay information back to the insurance company. They will then keep a record of where you drive, what roads you use, what times of day you use the car and the number of miles you drive.

Or more precisely, back to basics.

The swydm forums are down again (no surprise there!) According to the notice this is for a software upgrade… But rumour has it that just prior to their sudden disappearance, they were filled with yet more drama of Dallas-soap-opera proportions… Little in the way of surprise there either!

Having had a chance to catch up on my journal reading, everyone is either fed-up, moaning or going on holiday… What is it at the moment that has everyone so depressed? I just don’t get it…

*punches computer screen*

That’s the one thing I hate about typing in the dark… You get every insect in the house sitting on the screen reading the entry… They don’t even have the decency to read from over my shoulder… Oh no! They have to get a closer look… *grrrr*

Not sure if two words can actually count as lyrics… But they were n the song (and the game) so I’m going with it!

Guess who came-a-calling today? Yep… Same person as yesterday just to “see how I am”… Translation…

I want the stuff I left yesterday for scanning, is it done yet? Fortunately I was still in bed, so I didn’t have to deal with it… But same person is going to be visiting again tomorrow… :sigh: Some people should be dumped on small desert islands at birth, just so the rest of us don’t have to play nice with them!

Your stomach clenches and tightens.

Your heart sinks to where your stomach was.

And you get a sinking feeling all over…

Trapped. Trapped in your own home, on your own ground…

I hate visitors… Have I mentioned that?

Said visitor has been here almost an hour already… And all she was coming for was to collect some print-outs… :hair:

Good luck to you in your holy cause, Captain Sheridan. May your choices have better results than mine. Remembered, not as a messenger, remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero, not even as Sebastian. Remembered only…as Jack.

Ahh Babylon 5… It has some great quotes, some profound moments… I’m not sure why, but that has always been my favourite quote from any film/TV show.

Down in the jungle room…

I now officially worry about the sanity of people on the Internet. I’ve just seen someone’s photograph and read various comments left about how hot she is, how sexy, how attractive, how all these men want to show her affection in some rather obscene ways…

I looked at the photo again…

First thought… It’s a man in a dress and a very bad wig.

Second thought… If that is a woman it’s a really unflattering picture…

Third thought… Are they seeing the same photo I am?

Like I said, I now really worry about the sanity of people on the Internet… Oh and I still say it’s a guy in a dress with a really cheap nylon looking wig!

Erm… Anyone seen my Friday? I seem to have misplaced it…

Last time I looked it was Thursday… Now it’s Saturday… Anyone seen my missing day?

Now I’ve got to go to the vets for acupuncture, and I haven’t had my Friday to rest, relax and prepare…

I feel so… Cheated!
:-((

This daring young man
On the flying trapeze…

Or at least that’s what my grandfather thought… Shame nobody thought to tell him that he wasn’t on a trapeze!

Just to clarify… He was at the top of the stairs, fell to the bottom of the stairs, cut his head, was taken to ER, given some stitches, 5 staples in his head, then asked to go home because he was fine and could manage.. :sigh:

Oh, and did I mention that he asked them to call his wife at work to come and get him… She died 13 years ago…

I’ve been putting the smurfing entries into my swydm gallery, and yesterday I had to label my gallery as adult… It’s the first time in… well… ever! It’s been less than 24 hours since I marked it as adult, and I now have double the number of hits than I did before! Says a lot doesn’t it?

Well looks like I’ve got one more entry from the ever kinky slurpie…

Firstly…
Freda and Barry sat one night.
The sky was clear. The stars were bright.
The wind was soft. The moon was up.
Freda drained her cocoa cup…
