- I liked this. It reminds me of the Cluetrain quote "You want me to pay, I want you to pay attention". Taking nothing away from Dame Ellen who has done us proud, B&Q needs to "pay more attention" Dear Sir/Madam My congratulations to you on getting a yacht to leave the UK on 28th November 2004, sail 27,354 miles around the world and arrive back 72 days later. Could you please let me know when the kitchen I ordered 96 days ago will be arriving from your warehouse 13 miles away? Yours Sincerley John Roberts |

- Having walked past Leicester Square (where they're busy putting up metal gantrys for the BAFTAs), and walking down Coventry Street towards Piccadilly Circus and texting away all the while to organise plans for a friend's witch wedding (don't ask) when... Flashbulbs and excited shouts go off behind me. I turn around, and realise that I've just walked past David Walliams and some glamorous woman en route to the Cafe De Paris club. Then I realise it's Graham Norton and Sir Ian McKellen talking and walking towards me, and two paparazzi-types using their huge cameras and taking pics behind me. So my shoulder is probably in a paparazzi shot somewhere. |

- Before the Wales vs England rugby match, I went to a birthday dinner at the newly-opened Ba Orient, a "sophisticated oriental cocktail and dim dum bar" down t'Bay. (Website not yet built or proof-read - maybe I should ask Creo Interactive for a job) People who delight in dim sum will remember steamy kitchens, bright lighting, loud crowded restaurants full of bickering boisterous families shouting over who gets the last tasty morsel of siu mai (shrimp and pork dumplings) or har gau (prawn dumplings), while waiters push metal trolleys containing more delicious dumplings in bamboo baskets hawking their wares. You just point and choose at the one you want, and the bill gets toted up at the end. Ba Orient was very very different. Subdued lighting, posh waiters wearing purple silk shirts but who don't understand what dish you're ordering, brown tables, and water trickling down one wall for that oh-so-important faux-Chinese feng shui effect. |

- I haven't lived in London for three years, but the endlessly-emailed London Underground Song (a swear-tastic filled rant about London Underground to the tune of Going Underground) still brings a huge smile to my face. Maybe it's the endless swearing, because I don't ever rememeber being that frustrated with the underground. The best thing is, they're not a one-trick pony and it's all for charriddee. |

- So in the aftermath of Wales' unexpected rugby victory against England (which no doubt will be romanticised for the next 10 years), I find myself at the infamous City Arms pub with a gazillion Welsh rugby fans drinking away. So I have to navigate past the sticky floor (although oddly no harmonious singing at this point) to the toilet. While waiting at the queue, some bald-headed bloke (the worse for drinking) looks at me, and twigs that I don't exactly look Welsh. And proceeds to grill me about who I am, where I come from (giving Tywyn as an answer doesn't seem to wash with him) and what I'm doing there (drinking, and waiting to pee). If I was feeling maleviolent and playful, I could have started speaking to him in Welsh, but I'd already seen three almost-fights that weekend and had no desire to be a victim of a fourth one. |

- Some people have ways of coping with the downs and further downs that life brings you. My flatmate prefers to drink copious amounts of alcohol. I mean, copious amounts. The other night, he managed to neck a bottle of wine and four bottles of beer. All by himself, in his bedroom. |

- After a friend saw yesterday's post on cliched pet answers to grumpy / depressed / miserable people, she said: "Cheer up, it could be worse, you could be me!" Another cliched hated answer, since it means: - there's even more despair to look forward to? - cue someone else telling you about all their woes, which is a bit annoying when you're grumpy / depressed / miserable etc. |

- You know, I really really hate it when people say "Never mind / Cheer up / It could be worse / It might never happen / There's people worse off than you" - or other such trite phrases. Because it's not going to improve anyone's mood or general well/unwellbeing for the following reasons: "There's people worse off than you" -- erm... so what? There's people better off than me but you don't remind me about them either. |

- That famed UK pop-gossip/tittle-tattle site Holy Moly talks to MediaGuardian. And reveals throughout that rather than being some kind of seedy teenager trapped in the toilets of Media Whorehouse Central, he is in fact a married 30-something Northerner who wants to "turn the site into a successful business model". Any donations you make to the site, goes to him to buy more fashionable clothes. Call me insane and hippy-esque, but it's disgraceful. I do wish people would stop seeing the Internet through nothing but green-paper-tinted glasses. |

- One of the highlights of attending SXSW 2004 was going to a very entertaining blogging panel. Amongst the panellists was a very funny Justin Hall, who struck me as being a unique blend of someone who could be entertaining, funny, *and* knowledgable at the same time. In other words, someone I could aspire to liking, if I had heard of him before that day. Then amongst the morass of weblinks that get thrown at everyone all the time, I forgot to check out his website. (This is before I discovered Bloglines and the point of RSS feeds - to help you catch up on your web reading! |

- On the Chris Moyles radio show this morning, the "gang" riffed on that classic early-90s two-albums-wonder Martika, and played a Japanese version of Love ... Thy Will Be Done. And howled at Martika singing Japanese lyrics with an English chorus, as if this was typical of the oddity of Japan. Except ... I'm pretty much certain that outside of English-speaking countries, an awful lot of the native pop does incorporate English and other multiple languages into songs. |
