Pissed the bed (not my fault, she bought me an 8-pack of Stellas with my takeaway when I'd already had a bottle of strong Cab Sauv).
Blockbusters were having a preowned sale, I remember, ended up getting PS2 Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5 and Capcom Fighting Jam for 98p a pop each. Still own them.
And an AMAHOOZING pair of brown/blue Gola retro trainers that look like tightrope-walking shoes, all suede and top quality, a quid from a chazza shop. Old skool Gola logos as well.
But I digress. Am yet again adding unnecessary drunk/stoned detail, forgive the yammering from my drunk/stoned gob/drunken foamy maw.

Mental the past year, have not experienced anything in the way of deaths or family illnesses in family since i was about 9 (over 30 years ago) and past year Grandad/Grandma/Great Uncle/ and Two aunties all died from cancer and my Dad is currently being treated for it.
Grandad and Great uncle did have a good innings though 94 and 96 but both Aunties were only in their sixties, Only good news is with my dad it is a small spot on the lung with it nowhere else (he did have part of a lung removed few years ago due to cancer but got the all clear). but upcoming 6 weeks of treatment is probably going to be tough

Not really an irk, but it's Facebook-related so of course it belongs here. Just got an email from them:
"A friend wants you to like a Page on Facebook"
I get what it means within the context of the system itself - an FB friend of mine wants me to click like on their Page.
But does this friend care whether or not I actually like the page itself? Or do they really care about the action of liking and what it results in(increased popularity, higher up in search results, etc). My instinct is to have a B please, Bob, but maybe the answer lies somewhere between the two.
Maybe I should send a message telling him I really do like his page, honest. It's much more personal, and he'll appreciate the gesture more.
