Tonight, I have a mission. It involves Haagen Dazs and the absolute dilemma of choosing which sappy film to be watching. Notting Hill, Ever After or Shakespeare in Love? Also, there's Ugly Betty.

Vaguely amused that the flatmate who has an obvious boyfriend at the mo (ie, one who actually appears at the flat on occasion) has no plans for tonight.

Life on Mars. OMG. SQUEEE. Sam still a fuckwit and a nutter. Squad aware that he's a nutter, but he's *their* nutter and gets results. GENE. Oh, GUV. Kevin Badger McNally! :bounce: Mirroring of poses/setups and so on from first series!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I need to stab the production temp. You know when you've told someone again and again and again about something they should be correcting? It's in the instructions. I told him when I taught him how to do ed checks months ago. The last two days? When I go to move on the supposedly corrected articles to the next stage (sending them to the authors for their last gasp check), I've been checking every one because I don't trust him to do it right, and every single one has needed a correction. STABBY.

You know how smarties have got put in that weird hexagonal pacakaging? Have discovered that it's not just the packaging. They've now got 'no artificial colours' on them. Which means they are dull and washed out looking. British smarties are *meant* to be the most day-glo of them all. We like them that way! How are we meant to send toddlers off into colours-induced hyper-ness now? Also, they've changed the flavour of the orange ones and the red ones are now flavoured.

:grumble:

...Not happy, Drums.

Oh God, I feel your pain. There may be a massacre soon.

And wtf smarties?

Bloody stupid world.

Yes, because taking the artificial colourings out of sweets makes them practically health food...

:cough: it's not so much 'healthy' as what the artificial colours do to some kids. :basks in the happy memories of feeding a mate's little brother *one* blue smartie and watching him bounce off the walls and celing for an hour: I say restricting our fun like this is *unfair*.

Oh indeed, but it does make me laugh that some people are so thick as to think they can stuff their (and their children's) faces with junk food and sweets and it'll all be OK as long as there's no artificial colourings or preservatives. But what they should be putting in junk food is contraceptives... *cackle*
