to stop kids getting fat, the government are thinking of banning adverts before the watershed for unhealthy foods. the theory being next time the kids are at the supermarket, buying their groceries they won’t be familiar with whatever it is fat kids eat.
oh, hang on, except kids don’t go shopping…their parents do…and now they’re the audience for all of the advertising that’s been shifted to after nine o’clock. what a quality idea…

got a phone call this morning from my lecturer
yeah matt i've noticed you've missed a couple of the seminars...
oh..er...yeah, i...erm... haven't been very well...
oh right ok, well the assesment is due soon and i was just checking that you were planning on coming this afternoon
oh yes, yes i was planning on coming this afternoon
thoroughly embarassing, but i'm not too sure how he got hold of my home phone number. i concluded the university must place agents next door to every student house in the city and monitor when we stay in bed
gonna have to start using a decoy-matt-shaped-mamakin in the mornings to fool them...that'll teach the bastards

ok, so two armed policeman mistakenly shoot dead an unarmed man. a terrible, terrible mistake. yet now they face being prosecuted for an error of judgement (in my opinion), which they made whilst doing their job. surely their employers realise mistakes can occassionally happen, and should stand behind them; bearing in mind these mistakes could end in fatality. instead they are abandoned and sued for it...how come?!
not that im trivialising their actions; i think the family deserve a very sincere apology and explanation…but it seems to me the distinction needs to be made between malicious, deliberate, unlawful killing and tragic accidents that occur in the line of duty.
