Update, contains actual facts.

I have some explaining to do. I started posting nonsense because I had no news, and well there are only so many times a chap can post about how he is waiting. So instead of that I posted a silly entirely fictional story about Robert Mugabe.

This fictional story got picked up by a few news websites as fact, which is a testament to how automatically syndicating news from blogs can be a bad idea. Anyway flush with the success of the Mugabe story, I posted a few more. The one about liberal democrats dying out also got picked up my a few other environment websites as news.

Silly chaps eh?

Anyway, in the future I think I’ll post more nonsense stories as they seem to go down well. Flights of fancy aside I did get the news I wanted and I’ll be starting the new job on Monday. The job I wanted. Hurrah! I can’t wait, I really can’t as it ever since I got the confirmation I’ve had a bit of trouble sleeping at nights because if I think about going to work I get all excited and get into ideas mode which is very different from sleep mode.

I need to go flat hunting now, which is a bore but rather important as I’m sofa surfing at the moment. I need somewhere reasonably near to King’s Cross but with somewhere to store a motorcycle so it’s quite a specific requirement. I think one of those lovely Mews houses is the best bet, one just like my friend had but sadly that’s already gone to someone else. Blast. Still I’m sure something will come along, these things do tend to always work out.

To mark the occasion of a new job and in many ways, a new start I went and brought a smashing new coat and due to the almost total collapse of the retail sector I got it for an absolute steal. Hurrah for economic collapse.

I quite liked your faux-news stories... you have a talent for a chucklesome headline.
