Bullet points, because my life is too mundane to be explained in larger portions.
Because that's the way it works, see.
- The 'we show ads relating to your e-mails' advertising thing in gmail keeps showing links for recipes involving spam. Admittedly, this occurs when I click on my Spam inbox. Broccoli Spam Casserole. Spam Swiss Pie. Toasted Spam Burritos. I feel ill.
- My work is running a competition where I have the chance to win an X-Box 360 and I. Want. It. So. Bad it's not funny. But I figure the odds are not in my favour, seeing as the more money we scam (sorry, I mean 'sales'), the more entries we get, and I don't make an effort. Ever. For I cannot be arsed.
- John sent me a parcel containing SCAMPI (flavour) FRIES, which are not just marvellous, but marrrrrvellous. It's the best parcel ever, even though it probably cost him a total of £1.50. I'm still trying to work out why I don't like spam, yet I like packets of crispy things that are supposed to taste like prawns, or fish, or salt, or something. Actually, what the hell is a scampi, exactly? Am I on the right track?
- [Brief interlude during which I shove my gob full of scampi fries]
- Right when I'd sussed my mother's birthday present, I suddenly realise that it's my brother's birthday on the 14th. ARSE.
- Why are there people running around outside my door? I would peer out the window, but I'd be entirely too visible and would completely fail in my role of Sneaky Nosey Neighbour. Leave me in my hermititude, people! Yeah, it's a word.
- The Nice Bloke at work and I were chatting about guitar, and he admitted that he'd spent his weekend playing Ashlee Simpson and The Veronicas tunes. I said, "God, that's sad, mate," and thought, 'Woah. That's hot.'
Because that's the way it works, see.

When I was in England, my favourite chip flavour was prawn cocktail. It doesn't even sound like a food.
Prawn Cocktail?
Its a double vodka Bloody Mary with a tiger prawn draped over the edge of the glass.*
My fave "crisp" flavour is Thai Sweet Chilli. Mmmmmmmm! Lovely!
*may not be 100% factual
Mmm, I *love* those double vodka prawn cocktails but I never eat the prawn.
Definitely learning some Veronicas tunes now. Funny - between you and Audrey I'm finding out a lot about what women want. It mostly seems to involve looking like Tom Cruise and being a bit of a dork. Hope I'm on the right track there.
Spring Onion flavored Monster Munch!
Heading back over that way in a couple of months for the first time in about 8 years and if they don't still sell Monster much there will be trouble....
Audrey, I think that scampis are prawns, so they're probably pretty similar-tasting. The other thing I saw a lot of were pork scratchings, which, from what I could gather, were bits of shrivelled roasted pig skin.
Brett, is that thing with the prawn for real? Or are you guys messing with my head? Do people actually want seafood in their alcohol? Shall I ask for a squid in my beer next time?
Mark, I once saw a busker who was playing a Britney song and had a massive group of girls around him. I was one of them, and we were all singing along. I didn't know the words, but I was drunk and making the effort. Singing Chick Rock will most definitely attract the ladies. Do it all husky and manly. But try not to look like Tom Cruise while you're doing it, because that would be bad.
Guy, I've never heard of Monster Munch, and I think I tried just about every junk food available. Then again, I mainly focused on chocolate, so they may well still be around.
