Should Auld Acquaintance...

I find that I am incredibly pleased today, despite having come in to the office to find a whole heap of work awaiting me, and having a deadline slashed from Friday to 3pm today. One of their noble lordships woke up long enough to ask HM Government five inconsequential, but involved questions and muggins here got the job of drafting the answers.

I’m not much of a republican, but times like this bring out the hankering for a bit of barricade action. Trouble is, some dweeb would ask the questions anyway, so getting all het up over some dusty old codger in a threadbare ermine gown seems just a tad pointless.

Anyway, concentrate, man.

Yes, I am incredibly pleased. I have just made contact by deduction and stealth with an old friend of mine, whom I have not seen for many, many moons. I am so cheered by this that I am not even shocked to discover myself listening to Cyndi Lauper on my Walkman, despite not realising that I’d dropped any MP3s of her music on to it. Actually, Time After Time isn’t a bad track…

That reminds me, I must add my Siouxie and the Banshees disks to the mix. I found them a couple of days back; it is yonks since I listened to them, and in this case, one yonk is a very large, positive integer.
