Smooth[ie maker] operator

This Monday, I bought some of that sugar free 7up at work. It wasn't very nice so I only drank a bit. When I got home I spotted some raspberry ripple ice-cream in the freezer. I thought "I can't really be bothered to eat that now".

This evening, I got bored. I put the 7up, ice-cream and some limeade I found into the blender and made a super-sweet smoothie.

BOOTIFUL, as Sir Stanley Matthews would have said.

Rages and the Lost Larks

Now I've gathered a suitable panel of guest writers who like nothing more than to crack jokes that vary wildly from 'awful' to 'so subtle/obscure that they might as well be awful' and/or get really angry about things that don't matter at all, I've decided to change the title of the blog.

Tom J's blog was pretty damn selfish, really. In my defence, 'I didn't know I was going to have guest writers (Q.C.)' and 'they probably don't even care (J.P.)'. The blog is now called...

Rages and the Lost Larks

It is kind of stolen, natch. I bet Bridget "Eerie Indiana" Jones's big knickers are heading towards some sort of twist as we speak. It'd be brilliant if we got sued one day, so [I've just decided] that is a new sub-purpose of this blog. Dave?

Rant over

I'm coming towards the end of two weeks off work, so I'm starting to feel like I need to cram as much worthwhile activity into the remainder. It's much easier to sit here and complain about stuff though, so I'll do that instead.

Actually, I'm in a reasonably good mood. I'll plug this instead:


I'm going there in a minute. I'll think of something to rant about while I'm there!!

**EDIT**

I've now learned that this is EVERY Wednesday. They played some good stuff this evening so it's worth checking out!
