View Article  There Ain't No Paedos In America

So, Microsoft has decided to remove all MSN Chatrooms in the UK. This is supposedly to stop paedophiles from grooming and meeting children online. But this is just in some places...For example in America you can join a Chat room with a credit card (Because children would never think to copy down their parents card details down). In Canada and Japan (for instance) the chatrooms will be moderated.
If they had just made the changes I don't think anyone would have been that interested. But obviously some marketing manager has had an mild stroke and thought that telling everyone it was to protect children (other than, say save some money on a non-profitable section of its business) would make Microsoft seem like a caring kind of company.

Now check the time I post this...I need to go to sleep now...and if the folk two doors down from me want to start screaming at an unfeasible time in the morning I think I may just have to stab them.

Avoid peppering text with underlines and Bold properties, perhaps Italic wouldn't look so garish.

I went to a housewarming party this Saturday. A mate of mine from where I used to work, who when we shared a house had a collection of toy robots, read Harry Potter books and wandered around in his boxer shorts, had bought a house in a new development with his heavily pregnant girlfriend.
I got myself prepped by thinking of the attractive young women that I used to work with who might be there, the new pretty young women that I might meet and the absolutely hideous amount of drinking that would take place...
I should have realised what was going to happen when I rang the doorbell to his shiny new house and a 7 year old opened the door...
It turns out that while I've been sleeping my mate has gotten old it turns out that not only did I not know any of the married couples there, but that it was apparently de rigeur to have a small child (age between 6 months and 7 years) called among other things "Poppy", "Tyler", "Anoushka" or shudder "Caitlyn". I suggest a quick look at This for a vast number of reasons why "Tom" is a perfectly good name.

Needless to say I made my excuses (after making sure I didn't drink anything alcoholic which would impede my speedy drive back to London), returned to a mates house, went to a Rave and got completely wankered.

Excellent.

It has been revealed that the blackout that recently hit London was caused by some bright spark installing the wrong fuse.
Remember we trust these people to run our society...

Sleep well.
View Article  Vomitus

Vomitus is the technical term for the produce of vomiting. I've just come back from a job transporting a drunk who we'd scraped up off the street (pretending to be asleep, but very quick to start trying to hit me). In revenge for disturbing his pleasant nap in the middle of the street he decided to vomit all over the back of the ambulance.
Now...some vomit can be caught in a sick bag, some in a blanket and some needs a vomit bowl. This was a veritable fountain of White Lightning.
Due to some of my escapades in my twenties anything even remotely resembling cider is enough to induce nausea.
I nearly joined him in vomiting over the ambo.

Not that I have a weak stomach, I don't mind the smell of fungating tumours, infected leg ulcers or the rather "unique" smells that accompany autopsies. But the smell of White Lightning will get me everytime.

We are airing out the ambo at the moment in consideration for the next poor sod that gets a ride in our big white taxi tonight.
