Today, whilst driving back to the office after picking up my brother's birthday present, i got highly amused by pulling faces at learner driver in front of me. Obviously driving with his mum, he kept looking in his rear-view mirror. Hope i didn't put him off too much. If you have any ideas for fun ways to kill time while driving, [tell me](mailto:cal@iamcal.com?subject=i know how to kill time while driving!).
I was very pleased to discover that matt (and catherine) look-a-like mo doesn't drink. I thought i was the only one. If he wasn't the most cynical, nasty git in the world, i'd like him. Wait a minute, maybe we have more in common that i had first suspected.
I'm considering making this t-shirt at personal print. Might be a good talking point.

A guide to written english:
- Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.
- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
- And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
- It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
- Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat)
- Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.
- Be more or less specific.
- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
- Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
- No sentence fragments.
- Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
- Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
- Do not be redundant

My low qulaity tabloid newspaper this morning devoted the whole of page three to flip flop flyin, the mirco-people site. The site, it says, shows that you can fit lots of information into a small image. I'm sorry, was that the best example they could find? If you really want to see information packed into a small image then visit the amazing pixture, the fabulous icontown and the awe-inspiring icon factory. Now those are good examples.
Lance is very good. I want to meet this man.
Pete at wackybrit has helpfully informed me that on amazon.com, you can mark items that you've already got so it wont recommend them to you. Unfortunately amazon.co.uk doesn't have this yet...
There's another new poll, building on last times idea of a quiz thingy (only this time there's an element of skill). Since you are all probably wondering (yeah, right), Beth's real name is Elizabeth. Dull huh.
