I overslept a bit this morning, but still managed to arrive at work before I should. It was a very busy day, but when it got to 16:30 (my official finishing time), I was too knackered to do anything else. I was going to walk all the way home to get some fresh air, but it looked like it was going to rain, so I didn't bother. The bad weather meant that there were no sexy mothers, or totty playing tennis. When I got to the bus station, I saw some signs that said "Warning. Painters at work. Wet paint". There was quite a smell of urine, so I wondered whether "Wet paint" was an order!

I sat down at the bus-stop, and waited for the bus. After a few minutes, some woman sat down next to me, took out a cigarette, and lit-up. I always find it amazing how inconsiderate some people can be. I couldn't be bothered to get into an argument, so just said "Oh great", and walked away. After all, she was perfectly within her rights to smoke.

On the journey back, lots of pokey little kids (well teenagers) got on the bus. They were being quite loud, and seemed to be celebrating their last day of term. I tried to be tolerant - they weren't doing anybody any harm, and were just being a little bit noisy.

I had a feeling that I would fancy a few Stellas later, so popped into Langley Stores on the way back - six large cans for a fiver. Way-hay! At home, I watched a bit of TV, including the 10 o'clock news, and last night's "Never Mind the Full Stops". Yet again there were mistakes with the apostrophe - when trying to work out how to spell broccoli, the screen suggested "2 C's and 1 L", instead of "2 Cs and 1 L". Still, I'm not the only one who complained to the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/yoursay/fullstops.shtml). The news had an article on tomorrow's Eurovision, which concentrated on the Finish entry. It was the worst thing I've seen in ages, making our pathetic entry look good! During the local news, there was an interview with the MD of Thames Water. He was stood in front of a reservoir, claiming that that was no water shortage. Was the man blind? Just behind him, it was easy to see that the reservoir was really shallow - it was only half-way up the ducks!

After the news, I watched a bit of Jonathan Ross. At the start, some short fat black man appeared, and the audience went wild. I had no idea who he was, and he soon disappeared when Rossy appeared. He was obviously somebody famous, but I had no idea who he was. Rossy went on to mention about the BBC not having renewed its entertainments license, so it was no longer allowed to put on shows to live audiences. Gimmeration! With all those adverts about paying the TV license, why didn't the BBC think to pay its entertainments license by direct debit?
