I has the things to do.

I have a report to investigate and jig around with.

I have a new computer programme thingey to learn how to use. By the end of the week.

I have a number of reports to attack and finish off, which gives me the right to send emails to people who earn a lot more than I do and have a gentle go at them to enquire why they have not done anything yet. Which is always fun.

But.

Meh.

Just spotted music celeb baiter and bitch extrodinare Simon Amstell outside, you know - the presenter of "Never Mind the Buzzcocks"

Two things, he is the same hieght as me (which for some reason is always a suprise, I always assume people on tv are taller...) and he is even thinner in real life than on the tv!

Oh well. I knew you'd be impressed.

Back to work.

Do you do that? Do you give an inanimate object a name?

I know that some of you out there have given your cars names, but what else have you given a moniker to?

The only “things” that I have that would be worthy of a name are my guitars, but so far I have never really done it.

I remember once on holiday in Corfu, I named the mountain bike I had hired for the day “Marchant” after a bicycle in a Robert Rankin book, but that’s about as far as I got with the giving things names lark.

And is the naming of cars thing more of a female trait? Do you male drivers give your cars a little something to call them by? Or are they all called “Start ya bastid!”

Anyway you can tell I am bored.

I am also bloody freezing!

So tell me what you have named and why?

OK, that was the long weekend over, and now I sit here waiting for the blogs telling me how well it went, how stationery it was, how howl inducingly mental it was, how stuffed with chocolate it was........

And so on.

I would tell you about mine but I have done already.

And as nothing blog worthy happened on the way to the office I am waiting for you lot to entertain me.

I will say this though, its a bit odd here without Jacobite sitting behind me. I hope his new job goes well.

Now, as this pc is being a bit sluggish I am going to go do the deletion of cookies and disk cleanup and defrag routine that always takes ages. I am not doing this to avoid work you understand, but to enable me to work quickly and efficiently.

Mind you if they would just get me a new pc........

I will not be holding my breath for that one.
