I’ve only got myself to blame really. I know that I shouldn’t (and indeed Dr Alice pointed it out on the Telly last week), but when I get an itch in my ear I often poke around with a cotton bud.

Whilst the ear hasn’t exploded it hurts a fair bit. Now I could go and get anti-biotics but I wont. I feel I might need those later in life and I don’t want my body (not really a Temple, more of a community hall) to build up and immunity against such a vital drug.

I can carry on working without any issues, I just occasionally pull a funny ‘nutter on the bus’ face.

/edit forgot to mention that I cut my finger yesterday on a piece of glass. That bled quite a bit. Tis sore now, really shouldn’t be typing.

/edit 2 Just to illustrate the point

Apologies for the gash, but it still stings a bit. Gash – great word.

This time it’s about a TV (and a HDD recorder).

Really since I bought my old Sony 32″ CRT behemoth TV I’ve never really liked it. O.k. the freeview picture has always been great, but other stuff like Satellite and now my Wii look fairly shite (though some might argue as the Wii is only SD then it’ll always be shite – not me though).

To use the Wii I have to keep changing the settings on the TV, otherwise it’s too contrasty for me. Anyway enough of the bollocks TV.

A new LCD or Plasma, well that decision has been made. I don’t want anything bigger than 32″. The smallest Plasma screens are 37″. So LCD it is then.

But christ is it difficult to choose (especially as the selection at John Lewis is quite slim).

I did narrow it down to 2 Panasonic TX-32LZD85 & Samsung LE32A558

Both pretty evenly matched, though the Panny has 100mhz and the Sammy better contrast ratio.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

The HDD recorder is simple though, either the Panasonic EX768 or the EX78 – seems to be a bit more for a larger HDD.

One thing that has come out of this is ‘How the fuck do you shift an monster TV? and to whom?’

It’s been turned down by one friend (though it would look ridiculously large in their house).  So hopefully I can shift it soon.

I spotted it, but it didn’t spot me.  Must be a day off.

I don’t know if all Vodafone’s ask you the question when they turn on but mine does (not mine, works – you think I’d spend my cash on a voda contract?)

How are you?

Well I don’t get the option to reply.  Maybe Vodafone think it’s just a nice question to warm the hearts of those paying for the extortionate contract.

So tonight I’ll answer vodas question.

I’m o.k. I should really go to bed, but other than that o.k. Afterall it is now Monday and I’m meant to be in work in around 7 hours.

Please, if anyone can be bothered how are you?
