Mart's story is great, and made even better by the thought that the salesman's probably turning round to his colleagues right now, saying "Can you believe this fucking idiot I just had on the phone?"

Reading the word 'happy' so many times has made me realise what a ridiculous word it is.

Look at it:

happy

Now say it out loud and listen to it.

"happy"

Fuck, I don't think I'll ever be able to use it again now. Thanks Mart.

I'm going to a school reunion tomorrow. My old school...

...is about to be converted into flats and is being replaced by some sort of "eco" design that looks like a flower and is covered in grass, man.

Glum, more than anything.

I wonder if they'll manage to get the smell of salami out of the classrooms before they're sold as flats? I can't imagine L-16 ever being considered fit for human habitation.

Olive trousers that turn into shorts and will do as I leave the office, blue short sleeved casual shirt, brown airwalk trainers.
Weekend - going to Maidstone to visit a uni friend. Should really go and visit my brother as his wife had a baby on Tuesday but I'm going to Maidstone instead. Perhaps list some stuff on ebay to see if I can raise enough money to get wooden floors put down in the house before we move in. (If anyone wants to buy a broken xbox or some gamecube games let me know!)

I've got a considerable amount of wood floor left over. No rubbish, proper oak. Enough to do a room. If you want it I'll try and figure out how much exactly I've got.

That sounds like we could reach some sort of agreement.

The rooms we're looking to do with oak are 10' x 9'10 and 23'9 x 13'1 so we're looking at a fair bit of oak needed but if you're looking to sell that for a fair market price I could definitely be interest.

Wearing: Korn t-shirt I bought in 1996, linen shorts, converse trainers (no socks)

Last thing I watched was Michael Clayton. It was OK. Legal thriller. The film opens with thsi mad lawyer who's had a psychotic episode blathering about how he feels like he's been shat out of a giant space creature, and Michael Clayton has to go and sort things out. I thought the twist was going to be that he was right and all the characters had been shat out of a giant space creature, so I was sort of disappointed when it turned out to be about corporate law suits and stuff.

Weekend: Nothing planned. Probably do some coursework. Octavia's jumped teh gun a bit on the packing, so there's more or less nothing to do in the house at the moment, except stare at boxes and remember the fun things they contain.

I reckon you could definitely do the smaller room with the wood I've got here. No sweat. And, just like a Mother's love, there's no charge, the fucking stuff is just clogging up our hallway. You'd need a Transit, though.

You're going to be a gibbering wreck by the time you get the consoles unpacked at the other end.

I haven't got any consoles any more. The XBox broke down, and I sold the Wii to pay for Alice's nursery fees.

Childcare fees are utterly fucking ludicrous. Our childminder lives in a gated community in Montserrat and drives a Bentley. She flies into Peckham four days a week to fleece us and another couple of chumps.

I think when Octavia goes back to work after Baby No.2 we're going to look at getting an Au Pair. I always thought an Au Pair was the deluxe option, but it's £50 a week as opposed to the £100 a day it would cost to put a pair of babies in nursery. £50 a week and a Spanish teenager to molest whenever you're bored. That's a bargain. I'd get one even if I didn't have kids.

That is very kind of you! I shall contact you via Facebook if I can arrange a van and a driver. Thank you!

Yes. The molestation. Plus! You can always get them to bring you back a kilo if they live anywhere good.

I've just done my Friday Formula. Haven't done it for ages, for one reason or another. Bone-dry, ice-cold gin-martini and Kicked In The Teeth Again.

Now I'm visualising beating an Au Pair's head in with a frozen Gordon's bottle.

IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

I'm wearing my winter eyebrows and a Ribena smile.

Last film I saw was Arsenic and Old Lace, which was great but, being the age I am, I nodded off halfway through. It was after lunch, on a sunny Sunday.

Writing of which, really looking forward to my big annual afternoon nap this weekend during the Wimbledon final. I always have a lovely doze. The noddy-necked after effects of a Sunday roast and the gentle pock-pock-ripple of applause during the game. I hope heroin is like that. Less middle class people may have different opiate ambitions.

One of us knows how much stuff the house contains, and the other has never looked into some of the cupboards. Besides, most of the boxes are kitchen stuff. There's a limit to how much fun you can have with some whisks and a Le Creuset jug.

That's really an 'Allo 'Allo style joke, though, isn't it. The thing with the wet celery and the flying helmet. With hindsight it's moderately astonishing how prostitution was treated as an entirely mundane part of a waitress's life. Just part of the general seaside-postcard slap and tickle.

Here's a thing. Would Inglourious Basterds be a better film if it was exactly the same as it is now, but was called Allo Allo, and was billed as a remake of the TV show? I really think it would. I really think that would make it brilliant.

Maybe rename Brad Pitt's character as Renee, but that's all. Everything else, exactly the same: Quentin Tarantino Presents: Allo Allo, the Movie.

wearing: t-shirt/jeans

eating: Weetabix (2), the peanut butter on toast (2) coffee, decaf, (1)

Listening: Matias Aguayo - Rollerskate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ziexgDAHYg&feature=youtu.be Heard it first on the soundtrack of a jumpbike video I was watching which was nice, then a guy from my twitter linked to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aJzYioSDi4 also a nice track from the intermission of the controllerthrow podcast - Guido - Anidea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9r7sVpsYb0 lovely.

Watching: The Weatherman starring Nicolas Cage. It's a good Cage movie, enjoyed it 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3_KgbI0PKY

Following Directed by Christopher Nolan, his first film, B&W low budget, acting not absolutely great but still, nice story, good twist, shades of non linear stuff he's well known for. Quite nice 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q8bBAKNSA8

Adulthood sequel to Kidulthood, same group 6 years on as bloke gets released from jail, it's alright, think I enjoyed the first movie more. Full film is now on internet for free http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5156386846504676021#

Harry Brown starring Michael Caine - similar themes to kidulthood in that the youth of London are out of control kind of thing. Enjoyed it, liked the drug dealers scene. Quite like Caine 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVOSfHFNlcI

24 Hour Party People Starring Alan Partridge a fairly lighthearted but good film covering the rise of the manchester music scene in the 80s and 90s, Steve Coogan playing the unlikely central character Tony Wilson. Interesting 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1Qz2x94q6A

Control Following on from that, I watched this film on the life of the Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, B&W pretty nice, killed himself at 23, both films had a good portrayal of Ian Curtis, his distinctive dancing must help with that I guess 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c2_B_cWK_M

last email: Amendments to a book cover, got to make it 'more asian'.

I'm hopefully going to release a book containing all my friday fun posts, with additional statistics (no. of times worn a jeans and t-shirt, how many peanut butter and toast have consumed) also containing some extra materials (things I do on a thursday, things I do on a monday, a collection of email subject lines from 2004-2010) let me know if you want to preorder. It's £5.99 and approximately 350 pages, paperback.

Man, look at all those lovely links. A thing of beauty.

I'm waiting for the hardback coffee table edition. Am I right in thinking it'll cost £42.99 and contain a set of numbered, limited edition "art cards" and a pull-out print of one of your hand-written Friday Fun post drafts?

A colleague of mine got a live-in nanny who became pregnant. Maternity leave cost my mate a lot. But it was a long time agao and perhaps the laws have been changed. Who knows? It was very funny at the time |(not for my colleague, of course).

Congratulattions btw.

Oh right. So that guy makes you laugh til you weep, but when I tell you about the sarcastic emails I write, you call me a bully. Right.
