Why do they have to share each report though? One of them says the opening line, the other says the next, and they alternate the lines through to the report's conclusion. I say "report" in the loosest sense of the word, some story about a school play or Google Maps putting Lytham in the wrong place hardly classes as hard-hitting journalism.
OMG, that man from Queen looks like Mick Hucknall. Not the one with all the hair who's married to Angie from Eastenders, who also has all the hair - the other one.
Oh, it's finished.
Pootling
I took the day off work and did a bit of pootling today. Pootled with the dog on his new favourite walk; I've found that the rough ground beyond the playing field isn't guarded by dragons and spectres, it's just some rough boggy ground that leads to a big drop... with dragons... down to a river. Rocky is getting braver and has started trying to clamber down the steep bank towards the river tens of feet below. But here he is enjoying himself.

[/caption]eHarmony - anti queer?
No I'm not dating, but I did check out an online dating agency this evening after hearing their cheesy adverts on the radio. EHarmony promises something different, things like shared values, aspirations, love of chick peas. Anyway, I had a look and went to the search page. Can we all see what's wrong with this picture?

[/caption]Yep, that's right, us queers can't use eHarmony because you can only be a man seeking a woman or a woman seeking a man. Now, while it's no great loss to me that I may never find a fellow lover of chick peas by using eHarmony, it might be a great loss to eHarmony themselves as this is illegal under the Provision of goods and services Act.
I e-mailed them to tell them so.
Naughty, naughty, naugty.
I'm not particularly interested in campaigning on behalf of people who should be able to look after themselves. They'll probably get back in touch with me and tell me that they don't provide services for queers because trying to match a bunch of self-obsessed, lentil-eating, cat-loving, boiler suit-wearing, hairy munter lesbos would crash their database and ruin it for normal people who are trying to find real love and not somebody to go walking with while wear matching fleeces.
You can't blame them really. Perhaps they know that most lesbians aren't interested in proper relationships, that two years is the limit before they get bored and move on to growth hormone-enhanced members of the constabulary.
Oh no, that's not ALL lesbians, it's just Jo.

On the pull
I'm going on the pull at the weekend. Not really, but I'm going out in The Village, on a Saturday night, for the first time since becoming single (actually, that's a lie, but I had responsibility for somebody last time). I'm just going out for a meal with friends, but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for talent and go in for the kill if somebody catches my eye.
Yeah right.
Mess
A friend of mine came round on Sunday afternoon and she kindly cooked tea for us. But my, what a mess she made of my sparkling kitchen. I don't understand how some people can be so messy when they cook, but when somebody has been so kind as to do that, there's no way I can hover in the kitchen, meeping in anally-retentive anguish with each microscopic bit of stuff that hits the worktop or hob.
Still, five minutes' clearing up is small price to pay to have decent company and a nice meal cooked for me.
Cash machine
I went to a cash machine today; had to wait while the woman in front of me finished, but she soon walked away and I approached the ATM. And there, in the machine, waking to be plucked out, was about £60-80 that the previous customer had neglected to take with her. I disappointed myself, it didn't even cross my mind to do anything other than take the cash and call after her to tell her she'd forgotten it. Honesty, decency, morals, bollocks.

I hope you pull! And not some growth hormone enhanced hairy munter lesbo, but a proper young lady who won't make a mess of your kitchen whilst she's cooking your tea.
And just last weekend, I inquired about a charge that was *missing* from my auto-repair bill. Yes, I'm also that honest.
I don't mind somebody making a mess while they're in the processor doing something, so long as they clean up after themselves. And especially if they put out on a first date.
I agree with your philosophy. Shit, if they put out on the first date, I wouldn't even mind cleaning up the kitchen after them. Especially if they were good!
This would, of course, be more relevant if I was actually in a position to take advantage of the opportunity. Or if anyone other than me would ever cook in my kitchen...
Fear not; eharmony are set to launch a new queer dating site this month after many complaints and a few lawsuits:

Thanks Aimee, and hello.
I got this response to my e-mail:
"Dear eHarmony Friend,

I couldn't believe they were so stupid as to miss out on a potentially huge market anyway, but there you go.
oh, look at you, all fighting for equality and all that.
apparently that parsnip one is meant to be good for making accurate gay matches.
Or I could just get out more and meet real people!
Yes, equality and fair play are important, but I'm not a campaigning sort, certainly not for people who should be able to stand up and look after themselves. While it's right that people are made aware that their actions aren't right, there are more important people and organisations to deal with over more important matters; matters where all people, not just people from particular minority groups, need to come together to ensure fairness for all.
