Quite a title for a post you will agree. And quite a claim for anyone to make.

I didn't make it for the record. But I was told it on Thursday night by a geek. One who proceeded to invite me to join his role play group.

I am struggling to make my non-geeky friends understand quite how flattered I am by this compliment.

Erm.... add this to your friends??

... but please don't think I only comment and never post myself...

This is my Fling. My real blog is at http://thoughts-on-everything.blogspot.com/.

Do stop by :-)

You know those posh orange juice cartons? The ones that live in the fridges in Sainsburys (tall, tropicana and the like?). Well you may have noticed that when you screw the lid off there is a little bit of plastic to pull out of the spout. Once pulled out, this looks rather like a mini satellite dish, attached to a loop, which fits snuggly over a little finger. Once on the finger, it looks like your finger has satellite reception.

So my dad discovered while we were having tea. And, on pondering his gadget-like finger, promptly stated "its like digit-al televsion reception".

I thought that was rather funny, and quite a high tech pun for my daddy.

Google fuckwit. Rather funny.

So my life plan has just suffered a two-year set back. The Dr is no longer moving to London this summer. He will be in Edinburgh for the next two years first.

Big Grrrrrr.....

I totally understand his decision (it is his career afterall, plus London was only offering him one of the required two years placement and the second could have been anywhere on the south coast INCLUDING the channel islands. Plus the fact that we aren't together, just being filthy regularly.)

Still, he knows how to keep me onside, concluding the text-exchange in which he broke the news by highlighting the speed with which both trains and planes can convey one to the others city for naughty weekends.

How many naughty weekends make up two years? Think I need to get a loan...

So I now have a third blog.

Another? I hear you say.

Yes.

Its a simple premise but one I think could be quite fun. Check out http://thethreebest.blogspot.com and add your opinions.

So they are.

And you don't realise how few people you know in your town until the ones you do know are away.

My mum and dad are on holiday. My sister, brother-in-law and neice are in Manchester. My old school friend has flu. And my ex (yes, its that desperate) has a date.

So this weekend I am... Allll byyyyy myseeeeellllllffff.

On the brightside its given me time to focus on the difficult early days of my New Healthy Regime. I went to the gym yesterday, and will do again today. I am eating fruit and veg like its going out of fashion, and confining carbs to one meal a day. I even deleted the Dominoes number from my mobile (yes I was that bad before!) I WILL be thin for Australia.

I think managing two blogs is beginning to lose its shine.

So this is an apology. I will continue to check LJ, and my friends page to see what you are all doing. I will comment. I may even occasionally post my own thing...

But if you want to keep totally up with the life of EmVicW, please can I ask you to check http://thoughts-on-everything.blogspot.com.

Over and out ;-)

I got home at 10.30pm this evening to find that some bastards had let my tyres down.

Yeah thats funny.

I got in my car to drive off and it moved like there was something under it. I totally panicked and for some reason thought there was a body under my car. I jumped out to check and saw both my passenger tyres were totally flat. I didn't know what to do so I called my dad and told him I thought someone had slashed my tyres. He was at the station and came straight round and we found they weren't slashed just let down. I got all upset.

My dad has now pumped them up, and I reported it to the police because its the third incident of vandalism on my car (the fourth on my property) and I am worried.

First my car arial is nicked
Then the door is keyed
Now the tyres are let down

And some bastard also let himself into my back garden (only accessible over a fence from someone else's garden) and carved his initials into my garden bench. At least I think its his initials. Either that or Kevin was disturbed two letters into his name.

Anyway, it all calls for further use of my word of the week....

BASTARDS

I have sponsored a little girl in Kenya. She is 6 and we will write to each other (well... her parents will write until she has been at the school I am paying for long enough to learn to write!)

This really is up there on the list of things I am most proud of doing in my life.

More to follow when I get my intro pack, with her colour photo (I have already seen her piccy, she is so cute!).

I am emotionally involved with Spooks.

I am trying to play it cool - but its hard when I am this obsessed.

I am sure it will end in tears.

If you haven't seen The Constant Gardener, rent it. Buy it. Borrow it.

It is incredible.

That one film so perfectly sums up the problem with the world. The problem that is not Africa, but its position within the globalised economy.

A problem that it is hard to believe will ever go away.

Watch that film, and please come up with a solution.

I had a good night last night.

And now I hurt.

But exhausted and filthy.

Had the best week I can remember.

But almostalady took notes as the week went on, so I shall leave her to upload on our rather amusing antics.

A few footnotes:

- The step jumped out at me
- He might not have been 21
- Hers were more expensive
- Yes I did say the following in the course of the week... a) "I am all cocked out", and b) "would you like a finger?" But in my defense, almostalady said "I am getting to grips with my horn now".

So I leave the house tomorrow morning, never to return (for a week anyway, unless we TOTALLY go for the Thelma and Louise story line, and then its never).

Anyway. Sorry tired.

So, got home at 9pm. Need to pack.

Can't think rationally.

I have counted my tops nine times (saturday, sunday, monday... start again... saturday....)

I have just remembered my passport.

I have also just remembered my home insurance expires while I am away so I HAVE to renew it at work tomorrow.

I have no travel insurance. No euros. No idea what million other things I have forgotte....

DRIVING LICENCE!!

Better go....

.... TO the Liberal Democrat party.

BRING BACK CHARLIE!!

He is sweet.

Discuss.

This is my nomination:

http://www.selfcasttv.com/Selfcast/playVideo.do?ref=s/80/153

A Japanese "learn English" (/keep fit) video, teaching people phrases for when they get mugged.

"Take anything you want!"
"Spare me my life!!""

Too funny.

So I have only watched 3 minutes of it, because I have just stopped watching Spooks, but has anyone else (IS anyone else) watching Jamie's School Dinners?

Why is Tony Blair deliberately dropping his Ts and Hs? Does he feel the need to "appeal to the masses"? "You work ou' a programme"???? Its painful.

Jamie is coming across as well-spoken, convincing and sharp. Tony Blair looks like he has a hangover.

Hello???
