Area 136

New estate agent came round tonight. Piccies were taken and a contract signed.

Although they charge more than the other frankly usless bods we were using before they went bust, they are far more gung ho.

More bad news is how much our property has lost in value, but they are confident they can sell it sooner than later.

Hmmmm, I thought. But before the guy left he said someone would be coming to see it this Thursday. Goody we thought.

Then he left. A short while later the phone rang. It was the agents.

Someone wants to come see the property tomorrow as well.

Well OK, bring it on. Shall we say six? certainly.

A short while later the phone rings again.

Someone else wants to come tomorrow, shall we say six twenty?

Well Duh!

So that is a bit of a change.

Mind you, we are selling the house for £2.50 and a packet of chips thrown in.

1. Japan provides over thirty percent of the world's Nick supply!
2. Donald Duck's middle name is Nick.
3. If a snake is born with two heads, the heads will fight over who gets Nick!
4. Nick is the world's largest rodent.
5. Only twelve people have ever set foot on Nick.
6. Lightning strikes Nick over seven times every hour!
7. Nick is the only king without a moustache on the standard pack of cards.
8. Carnivorous animals will not eat another animal that has been hit by Nick.
9. A sixteenth century mathematician lost his nose in a duel over his love for Nick, and wore a silver replacement for the rest of his life.
10. The word 'samba' means 'to rub Nick'.

Only so much very dull and depressing data clensing rubbish you can do in one day before your brain falls out of your arse.

In other news, I suspect that bloke over there is wearing a wig.........

And I want to know if that girls legs are incased in seamed stockings or tights but can't think of how to gain this information without getting sacked or hit or all three.

Meh.

Always remember that although it may be acceptable to put in your MP3 player to alleviate the mind numbing boredom of the huge amount of records you are wading through on the pc, this act will not enable you to accurately judge the volume any casual utterances you make.

So when the file presents you with a really annoying lump of plainly rubbish information and you exclaim

“Oh PISS OFF!”

Don’t be surprised if a number of heads in your vicinity – heads that make a shed load more money than you do and dress far neater – turn in your direction.

At least with the headphones in you won’t be able to hear the tutting.

Ahem.

Months I mean, the month just gone and this one just started.

Over the years every stupid thing I have ever done, every “unwise” decision – ranging from “not too clever” to “Suicidaly stupid” has been made during these two months. Every bad thing that has dropped on me seems to happen in August or September.

But this year I was warned to be ready and keep my eyes open and my brain engaged.

So far one of the months has passed and as far as I can tell, I have done nothing too stupid. Nothing too terrible has dropped out of a metaphorical tree into my path and bared its teeth. So that’s a bonus.

Just one more to go.

I am crossing everything!

In other news, still very busy at work.
