Welcome to Said.The.Joker.To.The.Thief, part of a network of personal blogs. Oh, by the way, ditch I.E. Get Firefox or Opera.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I've just finished watching The Weakest Link (Wed 21/12 BBc 2) and I'm disgusted in the quality of the questions. Here are two of the worst.

- From the First Round.
A week is divided into seven equal segments, what is the name given to the segments?

- From the Final Round
What does L.P stand for when written on a VCR?

Additionally, the contestants can't spell their names correctly. There was an 'Ann' (sic) and a 'Clare' (sic).
However, Kay will be happy with one of the questions;
- From the Second Round.
In British History, what was the christian name of the Naval Commander, Lord Nelson?*

Also, sometime soon I'm going to post a massive expose on Orange... well, the most recent ways they've managed to piss me about. However, for now I'd just like to say that this Samsung D600 sucks. I can't send MMS messages to email addresses.
This is unfortunate as I was going to publish bi-daily photos of my 'goatee' on here. That's to say, I was going to publish photos of the parts of my face where hair/stubble should be.

Anyway, I'm off as I need to update the template (Links of the Week etc.) and get coffee.

Marin.

*The answer is, of course, Horatio.

We shared the same tailor...

I thought you might like to know I've changed my political views on something.

Last week I would have told you that I completely agree with denying free health services to people who have forced themselves into ill-health via smoking, glutony or some other stupidity.

However, I've realised that this is completely wrong, everybody should be given free health services (unless they're health tourists, but more on that later).

The reason for this is that the NHS, being as damned beuaracratic as it is, would then deny free services for old people.

Why? Well, it's obvious. It's their own fault that they managed to survive long enough for living itself to be dangerous to their health.

On the other hand, my views on the maths department have not changed.
It's still as crap as ever.

Oh, also, I cannot believe that The Avengers was actually allowed to be televised! I've seen episodes of Neighbours that have been better choreographed, staged, acted, scripted, set, produced... even the accents on The Avengers annoy me more!
