I’ve never been a big fan of clothes shopping, but today it was just getting silly.
I had to go into town for a haircut, so I figured I might as well take advantage and try and get some clothes… Especially when I worked out I hadn’t bought any for seven years, I thought it was about time to replace some of them!
Usually I hate shopping because I can never find anything to fit, but today it was just one thing after another.
Is it just me, or does anybody else feel that import duties are like government sanctioned daylight robbery?
It’s a fact, I swear customs just charges people to generate revenue for their wages and to justify their own existence!
It may just be the British system that has this problem, but the whole thing seems to be a con from start to finish.
For example, if I went abroad and came back with a suitcase full of imported DVD’s I’d not get charged a thing. I could also go for a day trip to France and buy an entire van full of alcohol and cigarettes, and they’d be duty free. But have a boxed set of DVD’s mailed to you and the cost rockets once customs get their little mitts on them!

I’m confuzzled…
I came to put a turkey joint roast into the oven today and was mindlessly looking at the packaging while I was waiting for it to cook.
Can someone explain to me how a plain turkey roast can only contain 65% turkey?
Someone must know the answer to this, because I just don’t get it.

Where do they all come from?
People must eat all the other weeks of the year, yet the population seems to triple at this time of year.
The grocery stores have been opening 24-hours for the past couple of weeks, and yet they’re still so busy that they can’t stack the shelves as fast as the customers are stripping them.

Rumour has it that Mariah Carey is suing, or at least threatening to sue a porn-star called Mary Carey.
Apparently Mary is trying to get a trademark on her name, and Mariah doesn’t want it to happen because the similar sounding name will confuse her supporters.
Maybe it’s just me, but if she thinks her fans will have a hard time telling the difference between a Mariah Carey music video and a Mary Carey porn video, I’d say she has bigger things to worry about than the fact their names sound similar!
Why is it special offers not only all appear at once, but they always manage to happen when you really can’t afford them?
Meh 
It’s been a long time since I was up and around to watch Saturday morning television.
What happened?
Saturday mornings always used to be for the kids, something for them to get up for and keep them entertained for a few hours while the parents had a lie in I’d imagine.
What have we got today?
The two channels that used to have all the Saturday morning shows are now both showing “Interactive food and cooking show”s
Yeah, I can really see that appealing to children the country over… :confuzzled:

If I didn’t know better I’m beginning to think I have some kind of attention disorder (or the attention span of a flea, one of the two!)
I do it every time.
Every time I get something planned, I change my mind part way through.
Take my new gallery setup for the most recent example…

What’s with the appeal of the sound of the likes of Justin Timberlake and Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston?
I just don’t get it.
One sounds like he’s just slammed his testicles in a door jam, the other has more wailing than a collection of cats.
I must be in the minority here, because I really don’t get it, to me both styles sound like a whole load of showing off with very little of anything tuneful going on.
So… Somebody want to explain it to me?
Why do I watch QVC? Can’t someone duct tape the phone and my card details somewhere I can’t reach them?
I looked at it earlier for less than 10 minutes and I managed to buy a tv card for the laptop and have an uncontrolable urge to get skype, just so I can order the nifty little telephone handset they had on.
I’m so weak…
