Up to date

What a busy time I've been having. Except, you know, real work. That's not been busy. Here's a rundown of the last few weeks:

Quiz profits: one DVD player, 8 pints of beer, one board game. Which is the most useful?

Quiz losses: nothing but the space in my brain, where there used to be emptiness but now there are more and more facts and factoids.

Quiz show auditions: One, Mastermind.

Places visited: Wakefield, Guildford, Torquay (twice).

Boys: Boys are good. I need to find a boy.

Dumb question I've been asked most frequently: "Where's downstairs?"

Most intriguing quote: "Today, I nearly touched a lesbian. A South African lesbian."

A disheartening episode: At my temp job, found out I was working with a bloke I snogged once or twice back in the day. He doesn't remember me. Am I not a memorable person now?

Factoid of the day: Albert Square roadkill and Hear'say splitter Jack Ryder's dad was in 80s band Wang Chung.
