randomrabbit's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All around my ham Thanks to my sister I keep getting emails from Amazon saying things like: As someone who recently enjoyed Love on a Barge we thought you might like Love in a Caravan or Stern Desires or Lucky Heather � Love, Loss and Tarmacked Driveways or some equally hideous sounding boat-based romantic fiction and normally a fair few about gypsies too. She�s not allowed a Christmas present this year. She does have a boat which explains it. It�s rubbish. And it�s on a canal in Rotherham and they go on holidays to Doncaster because that�s as far as they can get in the time. I have no point. Today is good. It�s nearly 5, it�s Friday and I just had a Crunchie from first dibs on a selection box some greasy over-perfumed rep just gave the MD. Recruitment consultants wear pinstripes, estate agents drive Minis and reps stink. 3 of life�s certainties. Next year�s walk, all being well, is going to be along Hadrian�s Wall which goes through some really nice places and Newcastle. It�s less than half the distance of this year�s - just over 80 miles - so we might have to extend it a bit at either end to make it a bit more interesting. The Romans I think were a tad lax with their wall building not going all the way to the coast. At last count there were 9 jillion people who think they�re doing it � me, Mark, my nephew and Baz were the original 4 plus now Kev wants to do it, which is fine but I just don�t get why as he�s never shown an interest in such things before. Then there�s Vicky with the nice arse, which would be something to stare at I suppose when things get a bit hard, but then she comes with a boyfriend who may disapprove of such things and some of their friends from a walking group (Ooh yes please a tedious bunch of cunts. Bring them). And the vicar from the church down the road just because things wouldn�t be stupid enough. None of them are doing it because we�re not telling them when and where we�re staying, but we have learnt an important lesson: if you don�t really like people, keep your fucking gob shut. Happy weekend x 5:02 p.m. - 2008-12-05 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
