Valentines Day or....

... Loneliness amplified day for you single people... OR... Prove it day for all you couples.

Who knew St. Valentine had stocks in Clinton Cards and Thornton's?

My advice consists of The Strokes, wine, coffee and not staying still for very long. Less a Valentines tradition as a day to day coping mechanism, but worth trying ;)

Ah cruel realisation

I got a call from my great aunt yesterday, she was "concerned" as I hadn't paid her cheque in to my bank... those who know me will understand why...

I agreed to meet her on the weekend so she could give me the cash instead, lunch she suggests... YES why not, haven't seen her in a while and its always a bad move to say no to a free feed these days.

So, great... lunch and a wad of cash for a Saturday, Saturday the 14th, Saturday the 14th of February... OH NO, you see for the slower amongst you (Like me) what I have inadvertantly done is arranged to meet an old lady on Valentines day in order to have a sit down meal during which she will palm off a large sum of cash to me.... To the casual observer this will look rather dodgy, and like I am some kind of male escort for the elderly.

How do I get myself into these situations?

This is good...

A take on Take On Me.... Ah ha ha ha

Hollyoaks

Plumbing new depths is something Hollyoaks has been doing time immemorial, to the excruciating extent that I'm fairly sure I got the bends from segueing into the news by forwarding the ad breaks earlier today.

I want to continue watching just to see if the creators manage to reach the terminal velocity of trite, talentless moral panic TV but I'm finding it harder and harder to endure, like hangovers as I steadily get older. Hangovers and Hollyoaks seem to go hand in hand like drinking and mystery bruises. Truth is half an hour of Hollyoaks is beginning to threaten my safety, if I yawned with anymore conviction I could very well end up breaking my jaw.

Why oh why oh why oh why... Where is Channel 4's Terry Wogan when you need him? I would complain to June Sarpong but I fear I would get less than 10 seconds into a tirade before resorting to violence : (
