MMIX

ok - you have to pretend that you are in the MMIX cosmetic surgery.
doctor kev is waiting to see you and he has a special offer on.

(steady ... )

you can change one thing about your face and he will fix it for you, for free.

so what would you have done??

(i'm not trying to say you actually NEED anything doing, obviously.
but you might just have one or two small imperfections, like a nose the size of a two pound loaf or something.
er ... if you do have a large nose, i hope you weren't offended by what i just said there...
er... i think that's the end of the apologies.
sorry.)

i am considering a complete ban on pointless surveys and lists for MMIX.
after all, we want 2009 to be a positive year, a year of change, don't we?

so telling us that luton, slough and lincolnshire are possibly the most boring places in the world, isn't helping much.

(is it true, by the way?)

having cheap laughs at other people's expense is just not on.
unless i'm doing it.

the only list i want to see from now on is a list of happy, smiling people.

like this ....

amazing the number of people who seem to be chopping down trees and smashing down walls and having skips delivered.

the world is alive with the scream of chain saws, the roar of the bulldozer, and the tinny racket of radio one, all in the name of home improvement.

this is the spring clean, 21st century style, i suppose.

give me a floral apron and a feather duster any time ....

ooops, giving away a bit too much there, i think ...

is it too late to retract that remark?

ah.

ok.

(puts on deepest voice...)

just my little joke, you understand.  give me a hammer drill and a pair of dickies work trousers any time.

so farewell then, mulder and scully.
just seen the latest and probably last x files movie as they sat in their little rowing boat heading towards a happy ever after life on a desert island.

they both looked a bit on the old and tired side.
this suggests to me that i must look much the same, since i've been with them since series one.

they've finally realised that the truth really is out there, and they are more likely to find it by living a quiet life on their island.

which is what i've done.

spooky.

what one thing are you determined to do this weekend?
