Greetings...

Another boring day with an ever decreasing number of jobs to apply for which is rather concerning.

Today I watched some TV, but still managed to avoid Jeremy Kyle. I saw in the news about Steve Irwin's funeral. Truly a moving circus parade. It is moving, but he exposed himself all the time and lets face it, it was expected. Unexpected that it was a stingray. Even more unexpected the fact that some people (maybe some Australians) are sooooooooooooooooo stupid as to have killed stingrays and torn their tails off. One thing that puzzled me, which I thought it was a bit off the mark, was a woman who had taken a kid dressed as a crocodile. A bit inappropriate, if you ask me. I wonder how it would have gone if you took a kid dressed as a stingray? My condolences to the family and to a country that offers a state funeral to an entertainer... Richard Bacon, there is still time to emigrate.

Today was a big day and something huge happened and went unnoticed. The grand event that went unnoticed and was only enjoyed by misfortunate people like me was none other than EPISODE 1000 OF DOCTORS. The fantastic BBC drama that follows Neighbours. To celebrate the 1000 episode they had - what it seems - a guest writer. My guess is that it was whoever wrote Brookside or last week's Hollyoaks. To give you an idea, there was an EXPLOSION at the beginning.

Needles to say, it didn't change my life. Not even the touching moments:

-An old man going senile with a sixth sense edge, he can hear all the dead people that died in his room.

-A girl who got pregnant and that could have ruined her one year trip. To sort that out she was close to taking a whole box of Malaria tablets. I think that was a 50/50 call. Have a home made abortion or choke to death on a fistful of pills.

-Chardonnay, from Footballers wives, with a coke problem and refusing help.

-A bloke with an anger problem who shouted at everyone and punched a woman, by accident.

-And the clinic having an assessment as their whole meaningless world falls to pieces.

The best bit is that it started with the explosion, then to jump back three hours back to lead you to the beginning and bring all the characters back together. Imagine Memento meets Casualty but written by the Hollyoaks script writer. Chardonnay and the anger problem bloke died in the explosion and tomorrow the rest of the cast won't even have to pick up the pieces.

This is what I have been reduced to in this week. To make snide comments about a funeral and to take it out on this page for watching a crap TV show.

Next week there will be an interview... so stay tuned.
