Why using instant messenger while drunk can be embarrassing

I woke up to find this in an IM window on my desktop last week. Names have been changed to protect the innocent innebriated.

As an aside, I am about to make myself very VERY popular with the company's financial department. While I have kept meticulous records of my business and personal mileage to date, I wasn't aware that I was supposed to be keeping all of my fuel receipts. I guess I just figured they wouldn't need them as they would obviously get an itemised bill from the company that provides my fuel card. Yesterday, while filling out my expenses claims form, I disovered that they do in fact want me to keep all my fuel receipts. Oops. It's a bit late for that now I think. Time for my whipping.

The Ring

Ok, maybe I'm a bit slow, but I've just watched The Ring for the first time tonight. How effing good is that film!?! I just loved the way it set up for that cliched Hollywood ending... and then spent another 5 minutes shredding it. Just brilliant. I also sat through a second helping of Signs. You have to love M. Night Shyamalan's bit part outside the diner. Just the way the whole family sitting inside give him that accusing stare and then one of them questions, 'Is that him?' Ok, so it ties into the rest of the story, but just the fact that he was the director made me laugh. It might have been a YHTBT moment.

Anyways, I'm shattered. Too much beer last night. Followed by too little sleep. Followed by a 5 hour meeting. Followed by a 150 mile drive [clocking up just shy of 900 miles this week]. It is now time for bed.

May the best team win tomorrow! Oh bugger it. Lets just kick them Aussie bastids back down under! Viva la Springboks!

Number change... again

Ok. So my mobile number is changing for the second time in as many weeks. That's ok really... no one uses it anyway (besides Cha from Germany).

I'm reverting back to my old Orange number, so if you still have that on record somewhere, good. If not, it's plus44781750066zero.

Apart from that, I have LOADS of news, but no time to spending writing about it. Cornwall [especially Newquay] was great. Devon [especially Plymouth] was superb, and very much like Cape Town in many ways. Tomorrow I'm in Salisbury for a week, which is an old stomping ground of mine.

Sorry for the lack of updates right now. Work is taking up all my time, but in a good way, which makes a nice change from the previous 2 years of my life.
