What is the collective noun for a group of nouns?

Theatre Review: Waiting for Godot, Theatre Royal Bath.

Very good indeed.

Try keeping your vodka, whisky and brandy on a higher shelf. It lifts the spirits.

How do you know when a question is rhetorical?

Sun streaming through the blinds here today. I am making lots of typing errors (I correct them, or course). Just one of those days when I don't seem to be in full control of my fingers. Or is it my brain? Have been waking up early lately, but getting tired late in the day. I'd prefer to stay up later and wake up at a reasonable time, but I'm not sure how to readjust, since I wake up early no matter what I've done the night before. It's the lighter mornings, I think.

As comfortable as I am with the mundanity (non-existent word alert!) of it all, I don't think it makes for a very good blog. Maybe I should just make stuff up, or at least embellish the wholly non-newsworthy goings on which, erm, go on.

Is it just me, or are people driving more badly by the day? I cannot make the three mile journey to work these days without some idiot behind the wheel doing something illegal, stupid or just plain baffling. The worst piece of driving I ever saw was when a car in front of me pulled onto the other side of the road for about fifty yards, into the path of an oncoming vehicle, in the dark, on an unlit country road. Just before they collided, the offending car turned off into a driveway that was pretty much invisible. At no time did the car indicate. I actually found it quite funny, but the driver of the car coming the other way probably didn't share my amusement.

Looks like I'm getting gym membership. I've no intention of going, though I will probably swim a bit more. Sports and fitness activities without balls (well, at least one of them) just don't appeal to me.

I can't seem to get the temperature right in this room. When you first walk in it's sweltering, but open the windows and there's a rather unpleasant draft at times. The answer would be to open the window slightly and wedge open the door, but it's too noisy in the corridor, and I don't want people to take it as an invitation to come in and start chatting.

Who'd have thought an ancient radiator would pump out so much heat? Hopefully when it is turned off it will be more bearable, though I can see it getting cold in here then as there isn't too much sunlight in this location.

New office, don't you know.

Life in general isn't very interesting, and my own life certainly isn't one of the few exceptions. I exist quite happily from day to day, scoring minor successes and enjoying achievements which, in the wider scheme of things, really aren't too important. As a blogger I am demonstrably uninspired, have little to say, and pretty much a failure. I don't like talking or writing about myself very much. A little humility goes a long way, and I'm as humile as they come.

I told a woman to fuck off the other day. She deserved it (the inconsiderate bitch), but I was disappointed in myself for departing from my usual serene aloofness. Next thing you know I'll be hitting people. Or setting fire to their property. Or poisoning their pets. My favourite threat, though admittedly not one that I have so far had occasion to use, is: "I know where your children go to school". Sets all the right alarms ringing I reckon.

Calories today: 1000 (correct to 4pm). No this isn't a weight loss / fitness blog, but there's no harm in trying to appeal to a wider (get it?) audience.

Tip of the day: Don't start a 'tip of the day' section on your blog.
