notetoself: check the news

Okay so yesterday I was a bit busy with work and as I no longer sit on the floor the news team are on I sometimes miss the hot news stories.
So it turns out on the day I don’t watch the news or read a paper that lots happened.
— Ikea had an opening which ended ina stampede and riot with people ending up in hospital. I mean it’s only cheap furniture for gods sake. It’s not like there aren’t other stores in the London area.
— Prince Charles is to marry. So is Camilla Parker Bowles. Oh yeah to each other.

happy birthday to me :o)

So I’m a little older today than I was yesterday (although that is true of everyday). So I bought myself a present. A flight to Singapore/Sydney/Bangkok/Singapore/London – just in time for Harbour Party and Mardi Gras. Oh and of course Jo’s Birthday!
Plus I get to visit Ian in Thailand which is cool – been promising I’d do that for years.
The presents you get yourself are normally the best but flights are brilliant :o)
Matt got me a great gift – a months subscription to the non work friendly all american heroes website. ;o) Porn the gift that keeps on giving LOL!
And northy got me…

43+23=

Okay so I got a Vegetarian sausage & mash meal from tesco today and whilst waiting for it to cook read the ingredients. So 43% potato (that’s the mash) and 23% vegetarian sausages (that’s the sausage then). That’s 66% sausage and mash. so what exactly is the 34% difference all about? yipes.
It was lovely though.

nicknames

Matt reckons people who use the same nickname on each website are mad as it makes it easy to view their different profiles. It always makes me laugh when people have ‘safer sex – always’ on one website and a profile on bareback.com. Not sure how they think that is safer but anyway. I do tend to use the same nickname on each site – but having taken his advice recently set up a new profile with a departure from the tried and tested eightlettersuk/8lettersuk theme. The only major problem I have now of course is remembereing the username when I go to login ;o)
While we are on the subject of usernames another thing I forget is that I have millions of email addresses based on my work. So occaisionally I’ll email someone from an obscure test account forgetting I’m not using my main account. Oh how it makes people laugh when they get mail from SouthLondonSW16. The other email mistake is obviously not going to make it into the public domain. Unless of course you know Matt and then he’ll no doubt have already told you.

Gay history month

I thought it was only in america that they had random monthly community spirited themes, but oh no, here in the UK we seem to have gay history month. So I’m picturing a month of queens blogging their jan/feb conquests. I’m sure this is not what the organisers had in mind. I think they want us to focus on the positive role models through time like Oscar Wilde or the turning points like 1988 when section 28 was passed as law. I think my idea is better though. So here I’ll make a start.
Iain’s Gay History Month
Met a nice man off the internet. Had fun.
Went out for beers. Had fun.
Had hangover at work.
Tried not to obsess about nice man off internet. Failed.
Went out for beers. Had fun.
Had hangover at work.

okay maybe I’ll pass up on this as it’s unlikely to be exciting unless I actually wrote who, what, where and when. That however is not goiong to happen. Well not on this site anyway!
