Apparently it's Diana Wynne Jones's birthday today (er, yesterday, but in my mind it's about 7pm last night - bloody late shifts), so I take this opportunity once again to tell you all to READ HER BOOKS IMMEDIATELY. Thanks. (Also to acquire a Chrestomanci icon, though I must try and do something more interesting with it.)
Buckets of squee to
sovietkiki for her exam results MADE OF WIN. Hurrah!
Tonight's work discussion: is the Scottish/ Irish plural second-person pronoun spelled "yous" or "youse"? I love that I have to think about things like that FOR MY JOB. (No idea what's causing all the capitals tonight, sorry.) I also got to send another of the "There are loads of f*cks and a c*nt in this programme, does it need a warning?" emails, which always amuses me because I am childish.
Today's Charlie Brooker link: Why clubbing is shit. More ranting, in case anyone hasn't figured out his style yet. I used to feel remarkably guilty for not really liking clubbing...now I have no shame, and bugger off home after the pub while being vaguely scathing about the people who actually want to go to Jumpin' Jak's. Thoughmiss_s_b's post the other day reminded me that I did enjoy Jilly's in Manchester, even though their website is utterly terrible.

No. Last time I looked, Prime Minister's Questions was shown well before the 9pm watershed.

Quality. Much truth spoken in jest by Charlie, and pretty much a reiteration of why it is possible for the drummer out of Def Leppard to count the amount of times I've been clubbing in the last ten years on his fingers.
I vote for 'youse'.
I've never met him, to my knowledge!
I think of clubs as places to go and dance to music I like.
I can see why I like them more than he does.
Still, totally with you on the 'Everyone should read her books' front. And the having of Chrestomanci icons. :-)
