Ok, giftmass is almost upon us and its getting to me. As you know I'm not the most festive person in the world, but for some reason this year I'm feeling slightly festive. It might be because I have to get 4 gifts this year and most of them I can get from the 24 hour garage without getting a slap!

Maybe its because I'm getting old, or probably more along the lines of, I'm bored being single, this weekend its coming up to a year. Yes, I'm quite impressed I've managed a whole year alone without becoming homeless, starving, stabbing or otherwise maming myself.

So a big yay for me it seems, well, yes a big yay, I rock and lets get onto our normal programming and start moaning about stuff...

Its just a short list of gripes today:

1) People who don't reply to me, you know who you are and I'll shake my fist in your general direction

2) American TV schedules, we really don't need a month long break halfway through a series

3) Christmas music in shops, no no no no no! Its horrible and we don't need to hear satanclaus is coming to town in every shop

4) My thinkpad, my lovely little Stinkpad is poorly and needs fixing, send cash stat!

5) Date websites, why can't you have a nice automagic "hi, I'm great, go out with me" profile generator? I write php, sql, bad news articles and moan about things, how am I supposed to write something that says nice things about me that doesn't suck?!

Ok, that's it out in the open, I'm sad and lonely, fully housetrained but still sad and lonely so if you know anyone who wants a fully house-trained geek to go drinking with let me know ;)

...and before I forget, Sky you still suck (£15 in phone calls over my dead box adventure)
